Comment:
We bought our first set of Circulon around 15 years ago, and the only problem we had was with the 10 frying pan handle cracking, due mostly to our not paying attention to its proximity to a rear burner. Over the years, we've added many pices, including from the Elite line, and just love every pan we own. We have no experienced any issues with durability of the surface inside or out, even with using metal utensils. We do hand wash every piece, and for the ocassional exterior stain, a bit of baking soda and a little elbow grease with a sponge makes it look new. Highly recommended for anyone who loves to cook and appreciates quality pans.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months

Comment:
I received my first Circulon skillet as a Christmas gift about ten years ago and am still using it. It is my favorite skillet. Have purchased other pieces over the years and recently purchased a complete set when it went on sale for 50% off plus a 30% off store coupon. Cleanup is a breeze!

Comment:
When we built our new home in 1996, I decided it was time for a new, complete set of cookware as we had a gourmet kitchen built. I shopped around and read numerous lab test reports and decided on Circulon. Although our skillets and pans are used every day, only 1 skillet is now non-stick (becasue a friend used it on hi heat). All the rest of the pots & pans are like new and one skillet has lost a little of its non-stick quality. I recently talked to a rep at Circulon's office & was told Circulon now has a LIFETIME guarentee and if I am not satisfied for any reason, even abuse, send the unit back and they will replace it for free...WaHoooo. Couldn't ask for anything more.
