Product Description
Circulon guarantees that food won’t stick to this pan, and that it will outlast all other non-sticks. Now those are words to live and cook by! The patented rings provide a hi-lo cooking surface that gives food little to stick to, and the additional coating of non-stick material closes up any loopholes. So go ahead, make a rich cheesey sauce, it will slip right out of the pan. Holes in the lid of this pan also allow you to use it for cooking vegetables, potatoes and other foods in liquid. When the cooking is completed simply tip and drain off the cooking liquid through your choice of small or large holes.Amazon.com Review
The company that invented hard-anodized nonstick cookware, Circulon continues its pursuit of innovation with this 3-quart chef’s pan, which features a locking colander lid for quick, simple straining. When you’re finished boiling pasta or potatoes, simply flip the pan over and drain the water through the lid’s straining holes. As an alternative, the pan is ideal for soups and small stews, stir-fries, and even a variety of one-pot meals.
Circulon 2 cookware features hard-anodized aluminum construction for efficient heat distribution, and is coated with Circulon’s Total Hi-Low food release system–an advanced nonstick coating specifically designed to last longer and release foods easier than other nonsticks. In addition, the pan features Circulon’s patented Hi-Low series of concentric grooves that resist utensil abrasion, adding to the durability of the nonstick surface. The stainless-steel colander lid is polished to a mirror finish and includes a stay-cool phenolic handle on the top. As an added bonus, both the top and side handle feature slip-resistant synthetic grips for more secure handling. Like all Circulon 2 cookware, the pan is oven-safe to 350 degrees F and includes a limited lifetime warranty against defects. Hand washing is recommended. –Rivers Janssen
I have had this pan for a few months now and it has become my favorite. The locking colander is the greatest thing. I use it to cook pasta, egg noodles, mac and cheese, potatoes…whatever needs to be drained after cooking. The two sizes of holes are nice for draining. I browned my ground beef in there the other day for sloppy joes and the colander was wonderful to drain the fat off the meat. The non stick material on the inside and out makes clean up a breeze.I highly recommend this pan for everyday use.
