Circulon Genesis Deep Hard Anodized Nonstick Frying Pan / Fry Pan / Hard Anodized Skillet with Lid - 12 Inch, Black

Love my pan! I bought the rest of the set, but this pan is one of my go to favorites in my kitchen.Update: it’s been 2 years now since I bought my pans. I still love them and have had zero complaints. I use this particular pan weekly and some weeks daily. I cook A LOT, and when I read the reviews from other people I was worried about how long these would stay in good shape. I resisted using metal in them for a long time because I couldn’t believe that it wouldn’t ruin the non-stick surface. Finally, I made one of my favorite recipes that requires a wisk to stir constantly while cooking, about a year after I bought them and trusted the “metal safe” assurance. When I didn’t see any damage, I began to not worry about it anymore. Now, it’s another year later and the pans are still in great shape. There are some stains on the outside of them from food spilling over the sides that I never noticed when it happened. But unlike some of the other reviewers who have had the nonstick surface become damaged, mine haven’t. Of course I follow the warnings and care instructions. My pans have never seen the inside of the dishwasher. They remain to this day, easy to clean and non-stick. Good value for a great product.

I've been using this pan about 2-3 times a week for almost a year and half. I like the way it cooks, but after about a year the bottom bowed and doesn't make good contact with our glass cook top. If we had a gas range this wouldn't be a problem. I've finally tired of either having the turn the pan upside down on a bread board and giving the bottom a couple of really strong whacks to make it sit flat before I cook, or putting up with it wobbling around on the cook top. I'm now in the market for a replacement. May have to spend the extra money for a Calphalon pan.

We graduated from a Rachael Ray pan with no regrets. Even though it looks just as thick, the Circulon feels heftier and better quality. We use it for breakfast almost every day and it has stood up well with no signs of non-stick deterioration. This is our first Circulon, and while the rings don't spread the oil for you, they do a good job of keeping it in place once you've distributed it.Meyer, my only recommendation for improvement is to either make the pan a little heavier, or make the handle a little lighter, because when I preheat it empty on my gas stove, the pan tips over a little. The moment I put an egg in the pan, it's fine.

Circulon is by far the best cookware you can buy, period! I've had other sauce/frying pans and eventually food begins to stick in the middle, making it progressively harder to wash off. I recently threw away a sauce pan that I had purchased from Amazon a few months ago: it was a piece of crap! I've had a small Circulon pan for many years, and have always liked it. I've been cooking more lately, so I needed a larger pan. I didn't expect this pan to be so large! It's HUMONGOUS! It's too large for me, but I'm gonna keep it anyway. Nice design, sturdy, strong and resilient. I've always loved Circulon products!

I needed a skillet between the too big and too small that I had, and was hoping for some comparable to the Style by Circulon set I've had for many years, but of course these are not quite like that in this price range. Still, these are quite good. I use them on a ceramic cook top. They heat up fast and evenly. My only complaint is that until you put a little food in them to counterbalance the weight of the long handle, they can be a bit unstable. Handles stay cool in normal use on the stove top.

My greatest issue is not being able to find that the pan fits the dimensions given for it: 15.8 x 8.5 x 3.8 inches. I don't know what the 3.8 inches refers to but did think it might suggest the depth of the pan. Not so! Given that the pan has a slight curl at the rim which is not available for any real use, the pan is 8" about across the useable area. The bottom cooking area is about 6". The depth is only about 1.25 inches. It is a small pan. I see nothing about it that would measure 3.8 inches. Now, it happens that I still need a small pan to cook an egg in the morning, as that is what I have for breakfast. The pan heats up nicely and cooks quickly enough. It also "permits" the use of metal tools. So, it's okay, but it is a disappointment nonetheless. It would be nice to have product dimensions be more accurate.

I have a lot of Circulon and to be honest don't know the difference between the various types now offered. I got what I thought would be a workhorse of a nonstick skillet this time and expect it will last a lifetime.I like how deep the sides of this are and this will be my new chicken fryer. This is heavy and the handle stays warm but not hot while cooking. I do wish it had a handle on the opposite side from the handle.As a long time fan of Circulon, this was a good purchase.

I use it mostly for cooking eggs and no matter how I make them, the non-stick works. I use butter because I like butter for scrambled, or bacon drippings on over easy, but I love this pan, and recommed it to my family and friends. Oh yes, the price makes sense, too!

I love this pan,anyone looking to get a good pan this is the one.I use it every morning to fry my eggs in they won't stick the best pan I own.i have the copper as seen on tv this one beats it hands down.

So far so good. Havent cooked anything very sticky yet so we will see later

Great pan! Very easy to clean!

I had another frying pan by the same company and it was finished off in an enamel red on the outside. This one seemed to be lacking a finish and was a matte, grey. I ended up throwing it away.

Es un sarten con muy buen diseño. De muy buena calidad y a un gran precio. En verdad que no se le pega la comida y es resistente al metal. Nunca habia tenido un sarten que me gustara tanto.
