Circulon Infinite Non Stick Frying Pan 20cm - Induction Frying Pan with Stainless Steel Handles, Dishwasher Safe Omelette Pan Non Stick, Durable Cookware, Black

I purchased both the 25cm and 30cm Circulon frying pans and I couldn’t be happier with them. The smaller 25cm size is perfect for quick meals like omelettes or fried eggs — it heats up quickly and evenly, which saves time on busy mornings. The build quality is impressive — it feels sturdy, durable, and truly non-stick. I don’t need much oil at all, and cleanup is always easy. The larger 30cm pan is great for family meals, stir-fries, or anything that needs more space. I’ve been using them regularly and they still look like new. Highly recommended — especially if you’re looking for reliable everyday pans that are both functional.

It's not often I review something that's 3.5 years old, but as these pans have a lifetime guarantee I thought it might help some. These aren't cheap pans, and it's reasonable to expect them to last I think. How did it start? Really well. The non-stick coating really was non-stick. Even though they are meant to be 'truly' dishwasher safe, I've always handwashed them, which was easy as everything just glided off. The big pan in particular became my go-to pan, and it was used every day, sometimes multiple times. They are quite heavy. My 70ish mother-in-law found them too much, but I just found them sturdy. How have they lasted? For three years they performed well. But then, the larger of the two started to lose its non-stick qualities. I tried deep cleaning it, but it seems like the material itself had become rough and deteriorated. It reached the point where it became a food magnet – everything was getting stuck. I ruined one too many pieces of fish, and had had enough… which is when I remembered they had a lifetime guarantee. How's the guarantee? I looked at Circulon's website, which advises that for products not bought from them I should contact the retailer (Amazon, in my case). Which I did, but they in turn advised that because the purchase was older than two years, there was nothing they can do. This is really them going beyond their statuary rights so I couldn't complain too much - the guarantee was offered by Circulon, not Amazon, after all. So I reached out to Circulon via their website (their contact form has a guarantee claim option), enclosing some pictures of the pan. And to be fair, within a couple of days they'd got back to me asking for a few more details. They then explained that the exact same pan was out of stock and they didn't know if it was coming back, so they advised me to pick another pan from their range. This was fair I think, although it's slightly irritating in a first-world kind of way that the replacement plan won't match the other. I have now received a shipping order for the replacement, so providing it turns up, then they have quite effectively honoured their guarantee with no fuss. Good on them. Summary Really great pans. Maybe don't quite live up to heavy, everyday use, but then there's a guarantee that they seem willing to honour if you do get issues. With all that in mind, hard not to give 5 stars. They really are great pans!

Not all non-stick pans are made equal. I am amazed at how different Circulon frying pans are, even compared to expensive heavy-duty, but more traditional non-stick pans. I am using them on a powerful induction hob so only know how they work using that heating method. I have often fried food without adding any extra oil or fat (i.e. zero). Even eggs on their own without any added oil or fat will fry perfectly and then just slip off onto the plate. Of course, processed and unprocessed meats will have their own fat, and all fry perfectly as well. Then it gets to washing up. I normally try to stick everything in the dishwasher to have that perfect clean look, but these can be washed with cold water, a bit of detergent and wiped over with a sponge in seconds. I have never experienced any pans as easy to use and clean as these. I don't use any metal utensils on them to help preserve their life. There is no need to scrape food off them, so silicon-coated utensils are perfect. These are not cheap frying pans at all but another life demonstration that quality can cost more, but is often worth it in the long run.

Having spent many afternoons checking out "reviews" for frying pans/skillets and having given due consideration with regard to price and quality I finally opted for this pair: "Circulon Infinite Hard Anodised Twin Pack 24cm & 30cm Skillet" as being the best option for my wife and I who both cook. Purchasing from Amazon is great with quick delivery; be mindful though that as you press the button to buy "vat" (value added tax) is added along with carriage to your bill which does drive up the cost. You will see all before you click for final purchase. On receiving the pans which were securely packaged, one is immediately struck by the weight of the pair - these are heavy and substantial with a quality feel about them. Even with the smaller of the two pans which is the one we use most, make no mistake you will know you have something substantial in your hands as you lift it off the cooker. Personally I find this reassuring as to quality and with no complaints from my wife in this regard. With three frying pans now being recommissioned as "bird baths" outdoors I would have to say this has come about largely by our own negligence and without due care and attention to proper use. There are a number of people on here who have given advice in what is just basic care in use and after use, particularly in the cleaning of the pans which is simple really which I find if carried out as suggested with some warm water and a wipe of a soft cloth or spunge (no harm if a film of oil residue is left behind.) then I feel certain these pans will last a lifetime. P.S. We have discovered that returning to the pan when alerted to do so by the "smoke alarm" is never good and has proven costly in the past; but then the birds are happy.

These are heavy, so prepare for a forearm workout, however, the non stick is incredible, the weight means really easily controlled cooking, and the heavy base means these are induction, gas, electric, whatever, compatible. The flared lip and gentle curve of the pan profile is perfect for frying, tossing and sautéing, and the price is incredible. My last set of Anolon pans lasted about 15 years with perfect non-stick before someone (thanks mum) put them in the dishwasher and their non stick faded. So, I don't believe the claims that these are dishwasher compatible and strongly suggest washing by hand to preserve the coating, but then there is really no need to use a dishwasher with these pans, the non stick is so effective, that everything just glides off with water and a cloth. For what it's worth, in between my last set of Anolon pans, and these, I had some Scanpan pans, feted by Delia and others for being super non stick and dishwasher safe, and found them massively inferior to these pans, more expensive, and definitely (thanks again, mum) not dishwasher safe, either.

I can only guess that the people who have had a bad experience with this pan were unfortunately to have a bad batch or faulty product. However, they do come with a lifetime guarantee. I have not yet had to check what exactly this will cover, and hope I never need to, but would imagine if the product has been used correctly then it should be covered? I digress, back to my experience! I have used this pan to cook a variety of things from steaks to pancakes. I can honestly say that NOTHING has stuck to it yet! I can burn the meat juices from a steak and they will easily release with the slightest touch of a wooden spatula. Cleaning has been a breeze. In the past, I would have to pre soak pans with burnt on food. With this pan, some fairy washing up liquid (others washing liquids are available ;) ) some warm water and a cloth are all that are needed to get it back to new. I have found that putting it in the dishwasher can leave white marks on the surface of the pan, like a water mark you might find after boiling water, but this seems to be easy enough to remove thus far and my pan still looks as good as it did the day I first used it. I can not recommend these pans any more highly and have since bough a selection of products from the range. if you are considering buying more pans, have a search on Amazon for the twin French Skillet set from Circulon. For this, you get this pan AND a much larger 30cm pan which comes up on offer at a considerable saving on Amazon on a regular basis. Happy cooking :)

Had several of these now and they are tremendous for a few months but then the ridges become impossible to clean and the pan starts to stick like any other.
