Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Circulon 80087 2 10-Piece Cookware SetCustomer Review: Works Great and YES, I Put Them In the Dishwasher Summary: 5 Stars
Original review submitted March 2004:
My husband and I bought this pan set about 6 months ago. I realize they are not suppose to be put into the dishwasher because they are hard anodized aluminum and the manufacturer recommends that we hand wash them; However, I don't live in the 1800s and don't have the time, nor the desire to scrub pots and pans! I have been putting them in the dishwasher under the normal wash cycle about 4-5 times a week. It doesn't appear that the dishwashing has harmed them, in any event, I figure I'll take my chances. In terms of cooking with them, they work absolutely great and I definitely recommmend this set. The only thing that bothers me about this product line is that the 10 pc set does not include a 1 1/2 qt covered saucepan, only the 12 pc set does. I can't even buy it separately either. Other then that, I have no complaints.
Update: June 2005 As I said in my original review submission, my husband and I have been putting them in the dishwasher to clean because we're lazy and willing to take risks. Now, over 1 1/2 years later from the time of purchase, they still "look" brand new but in terms of "use" they are beginning to stick a LITTLE. For example, when I now use a pan to make scrambled eggs in them the first set of eggs that I cook do not stick and turn out good, but the second set of eggs and any thereafter will need extra oil/butter in the pan to prevent them from sticking. So the dishwashing probably has effected the non stick coating on the pans, but barely. Aside from this issue, they still work GREAT! We still put them in the dishwasher to clean, and don't regret it one bit!
Description of Circulon 80087 2 10-Piece Cookware SetEquip your kitchen with this well-rounded 10-piece cookware set. Features the exclusive TOTAL hard-anodized Hi-Low food release system. With a nonstick exterior for easy cleaning; riveted heat-resistant handles that are oven safe to 350 degrees and stainless steel lids to lock in flavor. Set includes: 1- and 2-Qt covered saucepans, 8 and 10" Open French skillets, an 8-Qt covered stockpot and a 10.5" / 4-Qt Covered Saute with helper handle. Hand wash. Lifetime customer satisfaction guarantee. Coated inside and out with rugged nonstick, Circulon 2 cookware eliminates the chore of scrubbing pots and pans. Inside their bottoms, Circulon's patented Hi-Low system of concentric grooves creates narrow ridges to take utensil abuse, leaving low, wide grooves unscathed to readily release food and ensuring long life for the nonstick coating. Beneath the nonstick is harder-than-steel anodized aluminum. Pot and pan bottoms are left uncoated to conduct heat quickly and prevent hot spots. Slip-resistant synthetic grips on riveted, polished, stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and go safely in an oven up to 350 degrees F. Heavyweight, 18/10 stainless-steel lids polished to a mirror finish present a gleaming contrast to the attractive, charcoal gray, enamel-like appearance of Circulon 2's nonstick exterior. This 10-piece set outfits a kitchen with all essential pots and pans. It consists of 1-quart and 2-quart saucepans with lids; a 12-inch sauté pan with a lid; an 8-quart stockpot with a lid; and 8-inch and 10-inch skillets. The Hi-Low concentric grooves climb about an inch up the pots and pans' rounded sides, permitting thorough scraping without damaging the nonstick coating. Circulon 2 cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack What's in the Box 1-quart saucepan with lid, 2-quart saucepan with lid, 12-inch sauté pan with lid, 8-quart stockpot with lid, 8-inch skillet, 10-inch skillet
