Customer Review: Don't waste your money
Summary: 1 Stars
The non-stick coating isn't very "non-stick"...difficult to clean out all the little grooves, and the coating started to flake off after a few months. The pans are not oven safe so they are very limited (no moving something into a hot...over 350 degrees...oven to finish cooking after browning). You also can't use high heat on the stove top for fear of damaging the non-stick surface. I finally replaced the whole set with the Kitchen Aid Gourmet Distinctions and wish I had done so YEARS ago.
Description of Circulon Total 10-Piece Nonstick Hard-Anodized Cookware Set
This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a saute pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sauteing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.Circulon was an early innovator in the production of hard-anodized, nonstick aluminum cookware. This 10-piece set of Circulon Total brings great value, looks, and cooking to your kitchen. Each piece is constructed of hard-anodized aluminum, a non-reactive material stronger than stainless steel that cooks without hotspots, and which is finished inside and out with a nonstick finish. This provides not only quick release of foods but easy cleanup. Look for the raised concentric circles inside a Circulon pan: this is its famous Hi-Low technology. The raised circles take the abuse of utensils, leaving the low areas untouched. Thus, the nonstick finish lasts much longer than that on many other brands.
In this set you'll find the ever-handy 1- and 2-quart covered saucepans; an 8-quart covered stockpot for stews, pasta, and corn-on-the-cob; 8- and 10-inch open French skillets for just about any frying need; and a 4-quart covered sauté pan with deep, straight sides that can handle stir-fries, simmering meat dishes, and plenty more. A helper handle assists in lifting. Each piece features a phenolic handle that is oven-safe to 350 degrees F. Also oven-safe, the 18/10 stainless-steel lids are significantly domed for sending moisture back into the pan. For best care of this inclusive set, wash the pieces by hand. Circulon guarantees you'll be satisfied for life. --Ann Bieri
