Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Circulon Infinite Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware SetCustomer Review: Great cookware for a ceramic cooktop Summary: 5 Stars
Here is some background on our purchase. We recently purchased a long desired ceramic cooktop. It looked fantastic but, per the instructions, you need "perfectly flat" bottoms on your cookware. Our then current pots and pans (Meyer Analon non-stick -- about 12 yeas old) did not pass the ruler test and exhibited a very visible upward warp in the center of most of the cookware. Thus, we needed to retire them and purchase a new set. We chose ***** as our store due to their good selection, and helpful sales associates. We were happy with the selection and a bit surprised at the price range. So our saga began. We set a max price of 200 dollars thinking that that should easily cover our needs. We were wrong.
After trying and being disappointed with three other sets which will remain unnamed in this review, we finally purchased the Circulon Infinite 10 piece set. It cost more than we had planned to spend. However, this set contains the heaviest pieces of anything we tried (due to the stainless steel bottom). It will work on ALL cooktops (so we are induction-ready should we decide to upgrade in the future). We were beginning to regret the purchase of the ceramic cooktop but this cookware has made it much more enjoyable. They look good, cook well, and clean up easy. They are dishwasher safe (but I doubt ours will ever go into our dishwasher since they clean up so easily and we have never put our pots into the dishwasher). Also, of everything we have tried, they worked the best on our ceramic stove. Thank you Circulon.
Now some people complain about the expense of this set. Well, consider this. At the usually available $299 or less assuming a 10 year life, that comes to about 30 dollars per year (~3 dollars per piece - cheaper than a disposable roasting pan!). How is this expensive for such amazing quality? Also, with a lifetime warranty, the pieces should last even longer than 10 years. We actually caught a sale at *****, were able to add a coupon of 25% off and received two bonus pieces. Our cost per year and per piece is significantly less. I fail to see how that is expensive and just wish I had used this reasoning at the beginning of our shopping "adventure".
Once again - thank you Circulon and thank you *****. Here is hoping for many years of happy cooking and clean-up with this amazing cookware.
Description of Circulon Infinite Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware SetOur 10 piece set is the best way to invest in pans. This set is made for cooks who appreciate beauty and performance. With big pans like an 8 quart stockpot you'll be ready to entertain. From lid to handle to base, each piece of Infinite Circulon cookware is geared for optimal performance in the kitchen--so home chefs can focus on the art of cooking, not the science. The hard-anodized aluminum bodies and stainless-steel bases with encapsulated aluminum cores offer the dual advantages of rapid, even heating and superior durability. Circulon's TOTAL nonstick system (rated the longest wearing by independent lab tests) features an all-over nonstick coating and a Hi-Low ring design that heats food over the entire cooking surface, but reduces abrasion by allowing only a portion of food and utensils to touch. Also, unlike most nonstick pans, Infinite goes right into the dishwasher so cleanup is a breeze. This 10-piece set includes 1-1/2- and 2-quart covered saucepans, an 8-quart covered stockpot, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, and 8- and 10-inch open skillets. Cast stainless-steel handles stay comfortably cool on the stovetop and are riveted for extra strength, and the snug-fitting stainless-steel lids are low-profile and substantial. The set's deep charcoal grey and bright mirror-polish combination looks professional yet stylish enough to bring to the table for serving. All pieces are oven-safe to 500 degrees F and can be used with any stove type. Hard-anodized aluminum also doesn't chip, stain, or scratch so the aptly named Infinite will keep its good looks for many years to come. The set is backed with a limited lifetime warranty. --Kara Karll What's in the Box 1-1/2- and 2-quart saucepans with lids; 8-quart stockpot with lid; 3-quart sauté pan with lid; 8- and 10-inch open skillets.
