This is the best set of pots I have ever owned.
They seem to cook even and clean up is a breazze.
I love them and will never need to buy another set the rest of my life time.
They are really great.

Circulon Classic 14-Piece Cookware Set I love these pots. I feel like I can cook anything and at the discounted price you cannot beat the value. If you have good cookware it makes you want to try cooking new things. Buy them you'll be glad you did
Circulon cookware - great value! - Review written on May 04, 2008

1 customer found this review helpful.

If you're looking for a non-stick, non-Teflon cookware set, your search ends here. This set of Circulon pots and pans is sturdy yet still manages to look good. Handles are securely riveted and lid knobs easy to grasp. The slightly elevated ridges on the cooking surface of the pans allow for truly non-stick cooking without the use of oils or greases. Even scrambled eggs are easily removed with a dishcloth and soapy water! The only drawback (although a somewhat minor one) for me was that a few of the saucepans are not stackable because the diameters are the same. All in all, this set was well worth the price.

I have owned this set for 15 years and just replaced it for the same set. It held up beautifully but I felt I wanted to have new ones since the price was so good. Many of them are still in excellent condition and I do say we used them for the whole 15 years exclusively. This is a great starter set and you will need no other. It provides every size you would possibly want. I did have the 1 qt instead of the 4 qt in mine but I could just purchase that separately and still get a bargain at amazon's pricing. Circulon is an excellent cookware line.

Hi-Low grooves very hard to clean! - Review written on March 04, 2008
* *
Rating: 2 out of 5

We purchased this set of cookware a little over a year ago. We have followed the care instructions completely (using low-medium heat, hand washing, and using no non-stick spray). Over time, particles have built up in the "hi-low" grooves and they are no longer non-stick. I have tried everything I can think of to get them clean (including what the Circulon website suggests) but it has not worked. I am so disappointed!

If you look around the web, you'll find that I am not the only one with this problem. Please do your research! Before spending the money, consider a hard-anonized product that is smooth and therefore easier to maintain.

I had the first set for about 3 years and loved it but then lost it in the "divorce." So, I bought myself another set. This is a great set for someone with a small kitchen or just starting out. I am starting over so that counts right? I love this nonstick surface the best of all I have tried, as long as you take care of it, it will last for a long time. I have no problems flipping perfect over easy eggs in these. Good luck and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. TWICE!

The set looked nice. As I was unpacking it, though, I thought I was missing a lid. I finally realized the lid given for the large pan just wasn't even close to fitting. Unfortunately, that meant I had to repackage the whole thing and return it. If you order this product, unpack carefully, you may need to return it.

I got this set for my wedding and we love it. Every time my parents came over they just raved about it. It has no coating that flakes of like Teflon does. We finally purchased a set for my parents and they couldn't be happier.

We love the set and have them in FL and MI and love to cook in them. As with any nonstick surface high heat abuse will eventully ruin the coating.
Use them with care and they will last for many years. We have purchased sets as Xmas presents for our daughters and they love them as well. We bougt our first set on Amazon several years ago and purchased three more sets this past year. Buy Try and Enjoy!

This set was given to my son as a birthday gift. One pan was so mishapen that the lid didn't fit and one pan had a gouge in the cooking surface. He sent it back, an inconvenience, and received back another set which had one mishapen pot, which he forced into shape and another with a less severe gouge. He decided to keep the set. I own this cookware, which I bought locally several years ago, and it has been an exceptional set of cookware. I am very disappointed in Amazon for sending out cookware with major flaws. I will think twice before I order from Amazon again.

These pots and pans clean up so easy, I love them! Nothing ever sticks, cooks evenly -- in short they're great. I do make sure I always use utensils made for this type of cookware, either plastic or wooden.
17 year Circulon user! - Review written on December 29, 2007

1 customer found this review helpful.

I got several Circulon pots and pans when I got married 17 years ago. Every one of them is still being used! I just ordered this set because it has a few pieces I never got around to getting but have always wanted, some will be duplicates and the 8 qt stock pot will be a replacement to my original. It still has quite a bit of life left in it and considering that it has been used a minimum of once a week for 17 years (and put in the dishwasher more times than I care to admit), it is in incredible shape! Once I stopped putting it in the dishwasher, the light "film" you get on the outside from putting it in the dishwasher has come off. It still looks good, the lid still fits perfectly, no dents - still shiny. There is absolutely no warping to this pot. A slight amount of the finish on the inside is coming off. But after 17 years of use - we never baby our cookware - it is in great shape. All our other pieces (dutch ovens, several pans, wok, double boiler) are still in like-new shape.

Buy with confidence! This is an incredible deal - and the last set you'll need to buy...well, maybe for 17 years! ; )

Edited to add: I received this set last week. It is not the same quality as my original pots/pans. The circular finish is only on the bottom of the pots, not the sides like the originals. Like other reviewers have noted, the 8 qt. stockpot is slightly warped and the lid doesn't fit perfectly. None of the finish has flaked off though.

Absolutely love this set. Super easy to clean and has almost all sizes you would ever need. A little heavy but I guess that is because of its awesome quality. And for this price of $129, you cant beat it. I bought this set when it was for $149.

This set is as solid as they come. The quality control is the best and the finish is superb. My wife has had her old cookware for close to fifteen years and when she saw these she kept asking me why didn't I buy this for her sooner. Non-stick, easy to clean with nice lines, and the price was simply fantastic.
Circulon mostly OK but candy flops - Review written on December 18, 2007
* * * *
Rating: 4 out of 5

I'm pretty happy with my Circulon saucepans and skillets, and have been careful to care for them as directed. They've been very easy to clean and heat quite evenly. The problem I have, though, is that candy recipes always flop when made in these saucepans. I have recipes I've made for over 20 years, with never a flop no matter the altitude, weather, or pan----until now. Is there something going on with the non-stick finish from these pans? Has anyone else had this problem? I bought a glass saucepan and the candy again turns out just fine...............hmmm

My mom purchased this cookware several years ago. Since then she has purchased it for myself, my sister, and both of my sister-in-law's. I just purchased it for my daughter. We just really enjoy how the heat distributes evenly,it's a breeze to clean and it does not stick even when you do happen to burn something. You want regret the investment in this product.

I purchased this set of circulon as a gift for my parents anniversary. It sounds corny but they just got their kitchen redone and after 35 years Mom needed new ones. She absolutely loves them. It was a great starter kit being there's only the 2 of them. I also have Circulon and have added pieces over the years. Great quality, easy to wash, and performs great from stovetop to oven. I have had them for 8 years and they still look brand new!

My wife and I purchase the 14 piece set to replace and old Tfal set we had. The Circulon set is fanstastic. It is heavy and durable for a relatively inexpensive set. Even the large pieces heat evenly and the nonstick surface is great. We are pleased with our purchase and you will be too.

At first I could not understadn why would there be any major difference between cookware, I thought you only needed a pan and a pot...
But hey I was actually amused of how easier it made thing for my wife, she's not having such a hard time now for cleaning and this set has all the sizes she needs and then some..
It was agreat deal.

My first set of cookware in this current marriage was Circulon. Why? Because I was so in love with my husband that I let him pick out our cookware. Whatever was I thinking? I was used to Revere Ware, which is fairly low end, but it got the job done for me for many years, plus it went in the dishwasher. Okay, my husband thought that Circulon was "neat looking", and of course it is very expensive, so that has to make it better, right? Wrong. My experience with it in over 8 years, before I gave myself permission to replace the set, was similar to other reviewers. Flecks do start to come off the finish; this is very disconcerting when it is in your food. More important, you are consigning yourself to a lifetime of washing these pans by hand, and for all of your effort, over time food WILL remain in those ridges. That is because the finish will deteriorate and allow food to stick. I also do not believe that they are particularly good at conducting heat uniformly on the bottoms. Believe me, because they were so expensive, I followed all of the manufacturer's instructions for use and responsible hand washing. I truly grew to hate these pans but felt obligated to keep them because of their high cost. I paid over $400 for this set originally. I still love my husband madly, but did he ever cook with these pans (much less wash them often enough)? Of course not. Do yourself a favor and check out other brands, such as Cuisinart, Oneida, and Farberware, that offer 18/10 stainless steel pans, with or without nonstick surfaces, that will tolerate oven temperatures and being put in the dishwasher. Postscript: October 20, 2007, I see that Amazon has raised the price from $169 to $229 for this set; they were no bargain at the lower price.
Never scrub again! - Review written on July 17, 2007

My girlfriend is a professional certified chef who works for a five-star restaurant/entertainment resort. Nothing but the best for her--and I'll tell you that no one in my house can complain about these pieces. Both aesthetically pleasing and fun to cook with, I would recommend these pots 1,000 times before spending quadruple the price on the so-called professional cookware that I've seen in magazines.

First, these heat as evenly as it comes, so I can guarantee that your food will be prepared very well and heated evenly throughout everytime. Secondly, I have never had it so easy to clean up when dinner is finished. Unless you're going to let these pots sit out for 4 days after purposely burning something like cheese and molasses into them, you will not have to scrub whatsoever, and if food does start to dry, just let them soak for 5 minutes while you're washing cutlery and plates, and everything comes right off.

Last note: just read the instructions that come with these pots. Don't wash them in a dishwasher or scrub them with abrasives so you do not ruin the coating. In all honesty: you really don't have to!

Circulon Classic is the best cookware around! I had purchased a different set, but the pieces were so heavy that I couldn't lift them off of the stove when they were filled. This Circulon is light weight and easy to handle. Food cooks evenly over a medium heat and it's so easy to clean. I am so glad I switched to this cookware!

I love having these pans. It was a great price and they are easy to clean. The only problem with them is that they are a bit heavy and the handles are plastic so you cannot put it in the oven above 300 degrees.
