Editorial Review

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 6-quart covered chef's pan takes on all kinds of jobs from browning or simmering to grilling and sautéing. Its deep, slightly curved sides let cooking utensils slide right in, and it transports easily with stick and loop handles made of heat-resistant cast stainless steel and riveted for extra strength. Nestling snugly onto the rim, the matching stainless-steel lid keeps a low profile topped by an arched loop handle. The deep charcoal grey and bright mirror-polish combination looks sleekly professional yet stylish enough to bring to the table for serving. The pan is oven-safe to 500 degrees F and can be used on all stovetops. 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. It is backed with a limited lifetime warranty. --Kara Karll

Summary:	Miracle Pan
Comment:	This pan is deep and excellant for dishes requiring you to mix/stir in the pan. The finish is wonderful. I previously purchased a complete set of these pots and pans.

Summary:	Circulon Infinite is great for induction cooking!
Comment:	I got this pan when I got my Circulon Infinite Induction Cooker. The conductivity of the aluminum with the induction capability of the stainless disk make a great cook pan! I deep fry, stir fry, saute before braising, braise, boil for pasta, etc., etc., etc! Clean up is a snap! It quickly became my favorite cook pan because I don't have the "hot spot" problem with it that I have with some other pans using and induction burner. I use primarily All-Clad, but I now intend to buy other Circulon Infinite cookware. And guess what, I used to hate Circulon cookware!

Summary:	It works perfectly for my uses.
Comment:	I like to make my own sauces and stocks in large quantities then freeze them for later use. I have found that a "saucier" type of pot, that gets wider at the top, allows more water to evaporate and quickens the thickening process. Up till now I've used a 5.5 qt. stainless steel pot but it finally gave out and is no longer being made. I shopped around and read all the reviews for large sauciers like this Circulon. I've never used Circulon before so was uncertain if I'd like it, but the price was right and a 6-qt pot is exactly what I needed. Now that I've tested it, I'm glad to report that the pot works perfectly and I recommend it for the use I make of it. The pot is indeed rather heavy. On the plus side that gives it very good footing on my electric stove, and allows the element to work very efficiently, so I can put the pot on the small elements to reduce my sauces and stocks rather nicely. Fit and finish is excellent. Neither handle gets very hot and I've drained the pot several times without potholders. Note on the "non-stick." There is no lining in the pot. It is anodized aluminum and the rings in the bottom prevent sticking. I've had not problems with the system, but not being familiar with Circulon I was expecting some sort of teflon-like coating. Learn something new every day!

Comment:	This is an incredible pan and I love it. I can't believe I've had to wait this long to get a pan that doesn't have sticking problems and is a cinch to clean. Thanks a million!
