4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent non-stick performance, January 23, 2006

By	Kenneth Stuart (Northern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've only had these pans for a few weeks, but I'm quite satisfied with them so far.

My use is mainly for eggs and other sticky foods that I find can present problems for otherwise high quality cookware - it seems that durable non-stick surfaces are relatively high technology, whereas all other aspects of top cookware involves quality hand manufacture of relatively low-tech construction.

Anyway, these Circulon pans are medium weight - not quite as thick and heavy as the aforementioned super-premium makes, but heavier than cheapo junk.

And, the non-stick surface is top-notch. Evidently, the grooved surface does indeed work - eggs and other foods hardly stick at all - less than any other new pan I've used. Cleanup is quite easy as a result.

Hopefully, the durability will be as good as claimed by Circulon - but so far, everything about the pans would lead me to believe their claims.

PS The description here is inaccurate in one aspect - this package does not include any covers for the pans. But for frypan uses, you would probably want a splatter shield rather than a cover anyway.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointed with this product, January 5, 2007

By	William Moss - See all my reviews

I have had other Circulon products and have never had problem with them before. But this skillet set really dispointed me, so much that it prompted my very first product review ever.

I used the skillet mostly for grilled cheese sandwitches. A couple of weeks after I started using the skillet, I noticed that the sides of the skillet started to accumulate sticky brown substance that's really hard to clean. I made extra effort to try to keep them clean, but I was losing the battle (and it shouldn't be this much work to keep non-stick cookwares clean). Two months later, the bottom of the skillet started to stick. I have never had any non-stick cookware that lasted such an short period of time.

I do like the look and feel of this skillet - the deep sides makes the skillet more versatile.

2.0 out of 5 stars not what I thought, January 11, 2007

By	M. Roth "Random Mystic" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love circulon pans and have a set of them. I mistakenly purchased these ciculon elite pans and they are not like the circulon classic. The classic pans are so easy to use and clean with a quick wipe. These do not sit evenly on the burner, they are harder to clean and they don't heat as well. Get the classic.
