Buy, no, INVEST in a set.
By Joseph Ekaitis
Until hard-anodized aluminum came along, professional chefs scoffed at the very notion of nonstick cookware. Once they gave it a try, whole new culinary worlds opened up. How else may you whip up a scrambled eggs with cheese concoction and not leave half of it stuck to the pan? Meanwhile, the rest of us looked on wistfully and sighed at the high price, not to mention the fact that you can’t just throw it in the dishwasher or look to the future and use it on an induction cooktop.
Infinite Circulon changed all that, in particular with this 10-inch and 12-inch pair of open skillets. They’re everything you suppose from Circulon 2, like a nonstick surface that’s actually nonstick plus the capacity to cook on ANY kind of stove, including induction. The hollow stainless steel handles in truth do stay cool on the stove while upping the in-the-oven temperature to a whopping 500 degrees F. When you’re done, it may go right into the dishwasher, altho I have yet to cook anything calling for that kind of heavy-duty cleaning.
For a Lenten Friday dinner, we made whole wheat Fettuccine Marinara finished Bolognese-style, cooking and stirring the firm pasta in a couple cups of sauce until tender in the 12-inch skillet. Marinara sauce is hardly a challenge and it washed right out. On to a tougher challenge!
I made a couple fried egg and cold cut sandwiches the following Saturday, initial frying the meat in the ungreased 12-incher, followed by the eggs without adding any grease or oil. Perfection! The eggs picked up a little of the browned bits left from frying the meat and that added a great deal of flavor. A quick hand-wash cleaned up with minimal effort.
Lately, the 10 inch skillet and my portable induction cooktop have become on a on a weekly basis basis visitors to the breakroom at work. Wednesday is hot breakfast day and I may turn out one omelet after another without having to scrape a mess out of the pan after each one. When we’re in the mood for pancakes, I pack my Infinite Circulon round griddle.
As another reviewer points out, the manufacturer warns versus using cooking spray, but it’s OK to add a touch of oil for flavor. I oven fried a few strips of bacon and while the bacon drained on a layer of paper towels I poured off all of the grease, leaving behind a thin coating. I dumped in a double batch of Jiffy corn muffin mix and put it back into the oven for with regards to 25 minutes. The result: a skillet Johnnycake that slipped right out and onto the cutting board. There’s unquestionably an ooey-gooey pineapple upside-down cake in this skillet’s future. It’s already become my basi choice when I need an easy-to-clean baking dish or little roasting pan for, say, a quartet of quarter-pound meatballs.
With it is low price and cook-anywhere versatility, Infinite Circulon in truth is investment-quality cookware. When this pair of skillets is on sale, it’s all that and a steal.

*Important* Follow the manufactures instructions and you will have outstanding results.

Nice pans!
By Marilyn Whaley
They are very high quality and a great value for the price. I’ve had them with regards to a week and have applied them a few times, I’ve very happy with them, they fry well, clean up outstanding and are very pretty. I took the counsel of another buyer and put a paper towel amid them when storing since they have a bottom that might scratch the other one. I’m sorry folks, but I do cook with oils sometimes, that hasn’t seemed to injure them, even though I haven’t had them too long. So we’ll see. The sides are very high and the bottoms aren’t large, so it would limit some things I’d like to cook, however, the high sides might be good for other things. I noticed after cooking in them yesterday with a temperature a little over medium that the bottom picked up the effigy of the gas burner… it did come off, but if not cleaned each time, it might discolor the bottoms a lot. The handles stay cool! and I was concerned with that but no problem. They are a little heavy and takes a couple of hands to lift the big one…so if you have any wrist problems, arthritis or are getting older, these might not be the ones for you. All in all, I’m very happy with them so far.
