Circulon Clad Stainless Steel Frying Pans/Skillet Set with Hybrid SteelShield and Nonstick Technology, 10 Inch and 8.5 Inch, Silver

My husband uses it all the time. Happy with the quality for cooking, and also how it washes up.

So I was looking to replace my cusin*** nonstick induction DS pans which never really worked well on my induction range. I also have a full clad SS cal*** set but certain pans I use nonstick. I was going to buy hex*** set but after researching I decided on these at half the price I’ll explain why. First off I knew what I was getting into knowing fully well that this line of cookware was not fully nonstick and that’s why I purchased them. I downsized my life and although I haven’t given up my cal*** set yet I absolutely can. These pans are great especially if you have an induction range. I went with these over the Hex*** because of price . Nonstick don’t last forever and if I need to replace these in 5-7 years 400 a lot better then 700-1000. Also in looking for reviews for the Hex*** the bad reviews online were buried due to great marketing but I did find them and if someone buys the hex*** to you for a gift they will not honor the warranty. Also there is a design on the bottom of the hex*** pans. I had this problem with cusin*** leaving the design marks on my stovetop being very hard to remove. These pans are fully clad and fantastic, they aren’t too heavy but heavy enough for great heat distribution and control. They sear meats and clean up much easier than my fully clad SS set. Cooking on these are the same as Cooking on a SS set, heat pan , add fat, add food lower heat because of great distribution. Those of which who gave a negative review are not using the pans correctly as I said these are not fully nonstick so if that’s what your looking for try a different line from this brand. I wanted something that would well work as on my induction range but a little easier to clean than my full SS cookware and that’s what I got. If your looking for the type of cookware like hex*** your in the right place if your looking for a complete nonstick set of cookware this isn’t the right choice for you. I got exactly what I was searching for a fully clad SS set ( I can’t stand pots with the big plate on the bottom they just don’t heat anything evenly that was the case with my cuisn*** set) which will sear meats, has great temperature control , works great on my induction range and incidentally every piece of this cookware is sized perfectly for the hobs on my induction range so every piece is useable. I couldn’t ask for more. Plus they are really a nice looking set. Will they last? Only time will tell. They are also dishwasher safe and metal utensil friendly as long as they aren’t sharp. Honestly though I will be hand washing them since they are very easy to clean and using the silicone utensils that I have always used. But the option is there if you choose. All in all great cookware set exactly what I was looking for. Very happy with my purchase.

Followed instructions to the tee for seasoning, fried egg, pancakes and this has been fabulous glad I took the plunge as some reviews where negative

I caught this on sale and figured it was a better option than the cheaper made pans that tend to warp the first time you use them due to sub-par materials. So far I've been impressed, with only two critiques to offer.Pros: Price was great for the quality of the build. The SteelShield system used seems to be a great design. I have other pans that have a "hex" design and I think both serve a different purpose. However, I'm confident in using metal utensils in MOST cases (this is one of the cons). With an induction stove the pan heats up quickly, and cooks well. I've done vegetables, pasta sauce from scratch, and hot sandwiches, all of which have gone very well.Cons: Only two things leave me less than very impressed. First, I wish there was some sort of protection on the sides of the pan. The big names with a hex design continue the ridges up the sidewalls of the pans, meaning I'm confident in using a metal utensil anywhere on the pan. This one worries me that I'll scratch the sides, and is the reason for the 4 stars on versatility. The only other minor complaint I have is that it didn't quite heat evenly wall to wall although the burner on the stove is the same size. Thing is, I don't actually know if it's the pan that doesn't quite heat perfectly, or the stove that doesn't quite heat all the way to the edges. This is the reason for the 4 stars on heat distribution, but that could easily be a 5 if I knew it was a stove issue instead.Overall, great unit for much less than the more well known companies. Very happy so far!

I like the size and that it wash dishwasher safe.
