Circulon Contempo Hard Anodized Nonstick 8-Inch, 10-Inch and 11-Inch Triple Pack Skillet Set

Most of the reviews we read were in praise of these pans. We agree. However, initially, upon receiving the pans, we were sceptical as the instructions said quite clearly Do Not use high or medium high heat when using the pans. Whoever heard of not using high heat on a fry pan? However, we have followed the instructions and use low to medium heat as we begin heating the pans and they do heat up nicely and evenly.

It also said not to use non-stick cooking spray on the pans as that might deteriorate the effectiveness down the road. I must admit, you do not have to use PAM or other non-stick sprays and the pans work quite well and clean up very nicely with a little soap and water, sometimes water alone. We have used butter or olive oil though and both work well.

We think the pans will be just fine now that we have gotten use to working with them. We would recommend them, especially at this price point for 3 pans.

Downside no lids, but you may already have lids in your kitchen that can fit.

These pans were advertisedas being induction ready.They are aluminum, and thus are not usable on an induction range. To Amazon's credit, they authorized a return and refunded my money.

Bought this set as a replacement for some much older Circulon pans that had served us well. They were over 10 years old, and were staring to show wear inside the pan. They are our most used pan, seeing several uses per week for breakfast, frying burgers, chicken cutlets and the like.

There was thought about buying a 'better' brand, however after much searching and rejecting, we finally found the replacement from the company that made our last set of pans.

We like the design because of the short, steep sides. They are deep enough for things like scrambled eggs, yet shallow enough to get a spatula in to flip a pancake. The steepness makes the usable flat surface at the bottom seem like it's a bigger diameter pan.

I'll confess I did not buy the pans from Amazon. It's one of those things that for me has a lot of personal choice involved. If you're picky, I'd recommend going to see them in a store first before buying them. See how they feel in your hand.

The inside of the pans are textured and not stick free. Not dishwasher safe. Not to be used with oil of any kind. Not to be used with medium-high to high heat. I used one pan once and was terribly disappointed. Despite all the "conditions" that I followed, the pan still did not preform to make an omelette without sticking and having weird brown marks.

I had mine for two years and love them. I cook a lot. None of my others skillets lasted for so long. I use them, wash, use again and they work perfectly! I would definitely recommend them.
