The best non-stick pans.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Having experienced four years faultless service using a set of Circulon non-stick saucepans, it was an easy decision when I needed a sauté pan. The non-stick surface is so strong that I've never been able to damage it and food slides out of the pan when serving. After use, a simple rinse and wipe with a soft sponge and it's ready for use again. Circulon pans are not cheap, but you get what you pay for, which in this case is a pan for life.

Perfect little Pal
Perfect little pan for omelettes and small meals. Heats so evenly and really only use oil/butter for flavour as the non stick properties are excellent. Clean up is a breeze either hand washing or in Dishwasher, you can do no wrong with this tough little pal. Why I bought a second so I can use two of the same size at the same time for even and consistent results.

My new favourite pan!
I cook for a family of 5 and find this pan to be the perfect size for large one-pot meals. I have an induction cooker and they work together perfectly. It is easy to clean and the 200 years worth of non stick is very reassuring as I have non-stick damage anxiety. I have washed it both by hand and in my dishwasher. I have only had it for a few weeks, but time will tell and I hope it lasts as well as it promises to.
