Circulon Symmetry Hard-Anodized Nonstick Frying Pan, 8.5-Inch, Merlot

Food does NOT stick. Little oil is needed to sauté. Easy to clean. Crumbs wipe right out with a paper towel. Convenient. Easy to use. Item is as pictured.

Upon unpacking, what is most striking is the beauty. There is nothing plain about this pan. The pictures do not convey the beauty. I have been cooking over 60 years and never had this reaction to a piece of cookware.But the real reason to buy this is function. On a glass cooktop, the heat seemed to be perfectly uniform across the bottom. The only improvement would be for the bottom to be dull black instead of bright stainless. This would make the pan more efficient on a radiant cooktop.Now the cleaning: After cooking scrambled eggs in a small amount of butter I let the pan cool while I enjoyed breakfast. They I sprayed the inside of the pan with the sink sprayer. All of the cooking residue was removed except from the handle rivets. Bits of egg stuck to the rivets and removal required a bit of scrubbing. If the rivets had a non-stick finish the cleaning would have been a breeze.Normally I read all the 1 star reviews on a product before I place an order. For this product, I believe the most defective aspect is the reviewers. This is the third Circulon product I have purchased. After using the 12" griddle for 2 1/2 years I have had no trouble with it. I frequently cook pancakes and blini, all with no fat. The griddle is like new. I expect the same of this 8.5" frying pan. If there is a problem I will write an addendum to this review.

I own another Circulon brand pan and wanted to add a second to my collection. I couldn't find the model I own so opted for this one. I love it so much I bought a second one and threw my original one away. Cooking scrambled eggs was always a hassle as the previous pot left stuck egg residue which I literally had to soak all day and still scrub to clean. This pan is perfect! Eggs do not stick, wash up is so easy. Highly recommend!

Very pleased with this purchase, it is the best non stick pan I’ve used, and I’ve been thru several in the past few years. Don’t waste your money on other nonstick pans using stone surfaces, mine lasted 6 months and everything stuck to the surface. The Merlot color is not to my liking but with a coupon for $6.00 off sure made it go away.The pan has a heavy duty bottom and has a nice weight, it’s used daily. I have Two other Circulon pans and they still are non stick and easy to clean after 8 years.

This is by far the best frypan. It cooks evenly, everything seems to taste better when I make anything in this pan. I highly recommend it.

Holds heat well and sturdy.

We cook with this skillet daily for 9 months now. It cooks evenly all the time. Very slippery design and durable as it still looks and cooks just like the day I bought it. We have 3 sizes of this same skillet and they all still look and work perfectly.UPDATE 10/11/2022. Pan non stick coating lasted for 2 years and then no good. Everything sticks. Threw this pan out 6 months ago.

Wanted a slightly smaller pan then comes with the professional set. Perfect.

So far is scratch proof

The product well received the packing in good condition

Cómo siempre, perfecto, poco a poco voy formando mi bateria de cocina de esta marca 💖
