Circulon Reviews

I own many Circulon products, but most of which are under the Circulon 2 line. So when this 2 pack became available, I went ahead and purchased it. I have only used it to cook eggs on and I must say, I was sorely disappointed by the results. Not only did my eggs stick, but I used quite a bit of oil on the 2nd batch to make sure they wouldn't stick, but they still stuck. My Circulon 2 skillet makes far better eggs than this non-stick version and doesn't stick!

I'm not sure what I can use these skillets for now since my main intentions were for fish, eggs and items which have a tendency to stick to the pan. It also left a horrible look on the eggs like the kind on eggs cooked with a Teflon pan without oil even though I used quite a bit of oil.

Highly disappointed and will not purchase the Circulon Elite line again!

I received the shipment very quickly despite not paying for the shipping. I love the skillets. They're very heavy duty and are a great addition to my Circulon cookware.

Circulon makes an excellent product and Amazon sells it at a
very reasonable price. Excellent quality for middle range priced cookware. Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed.

I bought this wok because I have a ceramic top range and could not get good results from so called flat bottom woks and fry pans. I have envied an asian neighbor's gas range and the carbon steel wok he uses. Since a kitchen remodel and a gas range is a long way off for me, I decided to try an electric wok. I read many reviews of various electric woks and was not certain I would be satisified with any of them. I took a gamble on this one and I am not disappointed. I prepared several dishes the first weekend I got this wok and it performs as well as the carbon steel wok on a gas range. It gets extremely hot, very quickly. I deep fried chicken for General Tso's Chicken in this wok, drained the oil, wiped it clean with a paper towel, then stir fried the chicken with sauce for as good and authentic a dish as you can get at any restaurant - crispy in a spicy sweet sauce. I also prepared Szechuan green beens, shrimp fried rice, and fried crab wontons, all with excellent results and the clean up in between dishes was very easy, again requiring a simple wipe with a paper towel in between dishes - even the caramelized sauce remains that usually stick and burn on my other pans. At the end, I just disconnected the control element and washed the wok with hot soapy water in the sink and it cleaned up in a snap - inside and out. I used a metal spatula for all the stir frying and the circulon annodized nonstick looks as good as it did when I removed it from the box. Even my neighbor was impressed with the results. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants the results of a gas fired wok but for what ever reason can't use one.

I have spent thousands of dollar's, On Meyers cookware everthing from KitchenAid, Anolon, Prestige, Faberware, & Circulan, just to name a few. Though Meyers does manufacture very high quality pots & pans and I would recommend them to anyone it's just sad that if you have any problem with them, under warranty, you have to go throught the chain of command, that never gets you anywhere, even if you want to speak with upper management about the rudeness of the customer service department. Their customer service department employees are always very rude and snotty and they act like they are doing you a favor to even talk to you about their products. Don't get me wrong they do make good cookware, probably the best, but you as the consumer are at the mercy of their customer service and their descision or your fait on wheather your life time warranty is honored or not.

We enjoy wok cooking several times a week and have gone through several "off the shelf" electric woks. Manufacturers had not yet produced a heavy-duty electric wok until now. The Circulon 14" wok is far superior to any similiar product we have found on the market - price included. The pan is heavy and retains heat exceptionally well. The controls are easy to use and offer the variety of heating temperatures needed for oriental cooking. Although non-stick surfaces have been available for years this pan is truly that. The ability to totally submerge the pan for cleaning is a definite plus and allows the user to hang the pan on a suspended cooking rack system. This wok with be the last one you will ever buy.

I have been using this griddle since 01/06 and really love it. It makes the best pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches. You never have to use any oil or butter. It truly is a non-stick surface. I would definately purchase this product again for myself or as a gift.

I bought this toss and turn pan last year on April. It worked very well for the first several month. And I took very care of it----used soft stiring spoon to cook, soft rag to hand wash it, never used high temperature in cooking... but after 6 month, the "nonstick" layer begin to fall off. Although the fall off part is very small, I dare not to use it any more. Because I dont know if the fall off "nonstick" layer will cause cancer... Well, $30, 6 monthes good experience in using nonstick hard-anodized pan....
good, but too short

actually,this pan perfoms quite well. it can turn an average "flipper" into something quite respectacle. i've used it in a number of dish preps and been well satisfied. the shape of the pan is a little different ( which is why it works of course ) but it is also a conversation piece. it's also priced at a comfortable level.

I sent this to my sister-the cook in the family-she had been looking at it in the stores for ages but has trouble buying things for herself. She absolutely loves this and now uses it sooo frequently that it already is a part of her kitchen family.

Better than Circulon classic. Love the non-stick and the bigger size. My old one is a Circulon classic and the non-stick worn out after 5-6 years.

Note: After almost 3 years, this wok still ROCKS! I have owned other Circulon but the non-stick wore out after 3-5 years. I think the reason is 1) I seldom use oil when cooking, 2) I boil water using the saucepan, 3) I use canola oil. I have read somewhere - Do not use canola oil on Circulon's non-stick. You can search the term "canola oil" and "Circulon" on the web. I am not sure if the canola oil is truly a culprit.

For the wok, I always use oil for stir fry so it's still great.

Also, I just discovered (too late!) "Bar Keeper's Friend." This little white powdery thing can clean up the "rainbow" stain on the stainless steel wok cover like magic! For $1.99, it solves a problem beautifully.

NOTE: DO NOT USE BAR KEEPER'S FRIEND ON THE NON-STICK SURFACE!! It's only for the stainless steel wok cover.

This set of Circulon is wonderful! I love the versatility of all the different sizes of the pans. They are definitely worth the price!

Cleans up in a jiffy, yes, but also cooks evenly, with excellent heat distribution. If you are not familiar with proper methods, you should know you never cook on high heat with non-stick cookware, so you must be patient for some applications (heating water to a boil, or when frying). I always use wood or plastic utensils and my cookware remains like new a year later.

I thought it was me but every time that I lift the cover on this oven, there is this strange rotting smell. It doesn't seem to matter what has been in there, either. No matter what food...same rotting smell.

In fact, whenever I lift the cover, my wife goes running from the room holding her nose, screaming about how disgusting it is.

This large sturdy pan has a domed lid and will hold quite a lot. I think it was well worth what I paid for it.

I have a complete set of Circulon, but composed of the regular and Circulon 2, and Elite, with the soft silicon rubber handles. I much prefer the Circulon 2 or Elite for its non-stick sides, which makes it much easier to clean. Nothing ever sticks inside, so there isn't any scrubbing needed, just a normal dish rag or sponge, a bit of soap, and thats it!

I have had most of my pieces for well over two years, use them almost daily, and they are still looking like new. One must not ever use any non-stick on high heat. However, Medium-High is fine, and I use that setting for the grill pan 100% of the time.

Without any doubt, Circulon is the finest cookware I have ever owned!
