Amazon.com Review
A deep skillet offers the twin convenience of letting you sauté enough mushrooms, onions, and ground beef to create a large-batch sauce, while also delivering the cavernous size necessary to simmer the completed sauce on the stovetop. This 12-inch deep skillet from Circulon is particularly suited to cooking a variety of tabletop temptations, as the gently sloped sides allow omelets and quesadillas to slide out easily, while the Hi-Low grooved nonstick cooking surface sears steaks, fish, and poultry without leaving a messy, caked-on aftermath. In addition, the skillet offers an elegant appearance, allowing you to integrate the cookware into your kitchen’s distinctive style.

Circulon Classic cookware is constructed of hard-anodized nonstick material, a surface that’s twice as hard as stainless steel. It’s also among the most efficient heat-distributing materials, using its aluminum core to spread heat evenly throughout the bottom of the pan and up the sides. Despite its durability, the cookware is light enough to transfer from stovetop to oven without hassle, unlike weighty cast-iron cookware. The trademark feature of Circulon Classic cookware is its Hi-Low grooves, a nonstick interior surface that emulates (in looks anyway) the concentric age lines of a large tree. The grooves protect the pan’s surface and, when combined with DuPont’s Autograph nonstick coating, keep food from sticking to any part of the pan. The Low grooves are also durable enough to handle the harsh edges of metal utensils, though it’s recommended to use wooden utensils for the Hi grooves. The cookware also features stay-cool phenolic handles that are oven-safe to 350 degrees F and high-domed stainless-steel lids polished to a fine luster (the lids fit tightly to seal in nutrients and flavors). Hand washing is recommended. The skillet includes a limited lifetime warranty. --Rivers Janssen

My favorite pan
I bought this in June 2003 and have used it on a daily basis. When I cook for more than one this is my favorite pan. My concern is that I have used it so much that it is showing some wear and I do not know how to replace it. I paid under 20 dollars originally. I have two others, a 24 cm (small 10 inch) and a 22 cm (nine inch)both are great but the big pan is the one I reach for most often. I always hand wash it and the outside looks new. It is a great nonstick even heating pan. I wish I had bought two, but then both would have used as much as one.

Great workhorse in the kitchen
I bought this for someone for xmas, the price was too good to pass up at 15.88. Can you believe it? Anyway, I havent tried it, but I have many other circulon pieces. I have a 2qt saucepan that I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond over a year ago. I probably use it everynight and its fabulous. Nothing ever sticks, I've overcooked pudding a few times and cleanup is a breeze. I feel confident giving this as a gift, because the quality of circulon is fantastic.

Circulon Classic 12" frypan
Just received this 12" frypan. The pan and lid are made very well, not flimsy. Easy to use. Would recommend this product. This is the third Circulon item ordered through Amazon. Haven't been disappointed with the products or shipping. Keep up the good work.
