Circulon Cookware

My daughter bought me a set of these saucepans for Xmas and I am happy with them,but when I was using the large frypan to cook steak I was puzzled as to where these white beads kept appearing on my stove top.So I kept an eye out and to my surprise they came out of the handle,finished cooking washed up but could not see where.to put the beads back in as the opening was tightly sealed.

ANY IDEAS

Like many cooks, I was prepared to invest in top notch pans that would deliver. So I paid a hefty sum for my Circulon frying pan. It was great initially but food started to stick after 3-4 months even though I was pedantic about not using a scourer to clean, using only non-stick friendly utensils, etc. I found out later that all non-stick pans peel regardless of so-called quality because non-stick pans are not built to handle high heat. The high heat causes all coatings to peel after a while. So non-stick pans are only good for use in medium to low heat situations. Lesson? Just buy a cheap non-stick pan and replace.

I purchased mine in June 2012. I was thrilled to have the 'best pans' until now, 2 months later I had a slight mishap, which generally doesnt end so disasterous with even the cheaper pans!!! I was washing up and the pan sliped out of my hand and fell. When I picked it up to my suprise the pan has gone flat on the the side.

The box advertised is as hard anodised nonstick cookware. I think they should review the mis-seeling point and remove the 'hard' part. when i took it back I was told by Debenhams that the gaurantee is only for the non stick coating.I am very disappointed indeed. With a ten year guarantee, Id at least expect it to with hold some durability. This clearly doesnt do this.

We are over the moon with our new set, these pans are the Rolls Royce of all the pans we saw on offer and the quality is unbelievable top notch. We would certainly recommend these pans to anyone who does high quality cooking.

There are different types of finishes in the circulon range of pans. If you're ging to buy Circulon buy the COMMERCIAL range with the hard anodized finish. It's a dream to cook in, absolutely nothing sticks to it and it just wipes clean.

Am very pleased with the actual cooking performance but find that, having a gas cooker, the handles are too heavy and the pans tend to tip unless great care is taken, when placing the pans on the stove, to ensure that the handle is fully supported.

The heat from the Circulon Infinite induction base is fantastic particularly for stirfry.

Have a set of Circulon in FL and in MA. Have had to replace a few pieces. The non-stick surfaces peel off and the outside black material turns grey. Don't know if the polymer commingling with the anodized metal surface has any effect on one's health. I think I shall replace them with inert, non-reative cookware. I wish I had known more about synthetic non-stick pans and utensils before purchasing thses sets.

The pans are great and have remained non-stick for the last two years. However, the frying pan and the saute pan are now completely stick! This happened quite quickly, probably only a fter a few times of use. I don't think these pans handle high heat at all well. They seem to be fine for boiling a tin of beans in a pan. But as soon as you try to flash fry something on a high heat, the non stick is gone.

Stick to stainless steel.

The Circulon Cookware pans are great, but the frying pan is no longer non-stick after only 18 months, so a little disappointed with that one item. Also, the literature says it's dishwasher safe but the bottom of the frying pan has had the coating removed from it entirely and is now a shade of scratched silver.
