Review: Great pot! - After some research, I decided to get this pot from Circulon as I had bought some other Circulon cookware which was good quality. This was to replace other pots which the non-stick coating had begun to degrade and peel off. I needed a good 2 qt capacity pot as the one I had got tossed cause the non-stick coating had begun to peel. Having now used this pot numerous times for cooking vegetables, rice, various dishes, it's excellent. It's not heavy and the quality is excellent. It heats evenly and fairly quickly, there are no scratches nor dings in the coating, inside or outside. It's still as non-stick as when it was new. I am impressed at how it performs. Clean up is a cinch, no sticking. Just out of habit, I don't use metal utensils with any of my non-stick pans. I have plenty of plastic and wooden cooking utensils. I handwash all my non-stick as I heard that dishwashers are unnecessarily harsh on the coating. Besides they are so easy to wash it's no hassle. Anyway this is a pot I would recommend for anyone looking for a good non-stick pot. It performs better than several other brands I have tried in the past. Good value for the money! Review: Good frying pan - I have been using this frying pan frequently since January, 2024. I wanted to buy the same scratch resistant pots and pans but wanted to test the product out prior to buying the whole set. It has been an awesome frying pan from the get go. It has been very non-stick but lately im noticing things are starting to stick just a little bit and I do not cook on high. Still washes like a charm where even the stuck on food washes off fairly easy. The inside coating has definitely been scratch resistant and I have used metal utensils in the pan as instructions say you can. The outside of the pan is not scratch resistant and has many scratches on it. Overall, great pan and one of the best frying pans I've ever had. ## Features - EXTREME NONSTICK: Engineered not to scratch, our nonstick has been laboratory tested to last 130x longer than the competition - that’s more than 350,000 scrapes without scratching.

Overall, great pan and one of the best frying pans I've ever had. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Non stick, well built, should have bought another *by D***E on February 18, 2025* So far this pan is not only worth it but it has beaten all expetations that I've had for its function. The picture you see was taken right after cooking breakfast. We have been using this pan for 5 weeks and using it multiple times a day. The egg still slides out. I'm sure you have gotten a new pan and its non stick seems to disappear after a few times of use. This is not the case with this pan. I've been waiting for the shoe to drop and I'm starting to think that maybe it will never loose its non stick properties. I guess time will tell. We have not used any medal spatulas because why risk. Its well built with a heat protection coating on the handle and attached with two rivets that go through the pan which makes it strong. The forked handle really helps it not become hot. It also has a small hanle on opposite side of the pan which helps to move the pan when its heavy with two hands. I melted cheese and wanted to show you that it didn't stick. The last picture was taken after the cheese melted and I lightly washed the pan with a paper towel and it looks great. I'll update this review in a few months and see where we are. I'm back after 4 months of daily use and pan is working justbas it has the first week. I was messing around with the idea of buying another pan that was $190.00 dollars but I can't imagine it being better than this one. Another update, I bought the expensive and beautiful pan that I was thinking of getting and the expensive pan does not function as well as this one does. Its shiny and beautiful but the non stick doesnt compare with this pan and we are now using this pan for maybe a year now, also I wish I had bought a second one but too much time has passed since I bought the expensive one. I can't imagine any 1 and 2 star reviews other then maybe defects.
