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, specially 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 in truth nonstick plus the capacity to cook on ANY kind of stove, including induction. The hollow stainless steel handles veritably 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, even though 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, primary 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 outstanding 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 weekly 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 primary 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.

We decisive on the Cirulon Infinite cookware after looking at a lot of other brands. The quality and skillfulness makes this lowcost (a relative term, I know) line of cookware a outstanding value. After 6 months of heavy use, we are more than pleased with the durability and performance.
* Very Thick Bottoms – Allows for even heating of cooking surface
* Great Nonstick Surface – Really nonstick, no issues at all – DO NOT use nonstick sprays or “heavy oils” as these will demolish the nonstick properties (read the instructions)!
* Requires Less Oils – We were capable to cut way back on the amount of cooking oils we use
* Durable
* Oven Safe
* Dishwasher Safe
*Important* Follow the manufactures instructions and you will have great results.
Highly Recommended!

Best pans ever – great value
By Gaijin
These heavy, gorgeous pans are everything they’re advertised to be. An unbelievable value at this price. The Circulon Infinite series has the most effective and lasting non-stick surface I’ve ever used, and they may go in the dishwasher. I suppose to be using these every day for many, a heap of years. Wish they made a 14″ skillet in the Infinite series! I’m buying more of these sets to give to as gifts.
