This is their 1-quart saucier from their "LTD" collection. This pan
retails for $85. https://imgur.com/XLKBRLi When empty, it won't stand up straight without tipping over unless it's on a 4" round (at least) solid flat surface. It won't even stand up on an electric coil burner, only a glass stovetop. It would stand up on induction burner, but it's not an induction-capable material. I give this $85 pan a 95% Fail. Yeah, Put me down for 5 10-piece sets of All Clad LTD for $899/each. -sw |

I bought a set of Circulon Premier Professional Hard Anodized cookware from Costco last year and those things do not work on my gas stove at all. They tip, just like that. I absolutely hate them. |

My flat bottom carbon steel wok did that too. That's easy enough to fix. Just get a rubber or wood mallet of good heft and put a slight concave surface on the bottom. I've also done that by using my iron palm of death technique to get the pan to lay flat. They'll sit real stable after that. If you do want to try this at home, make sure you work on the edges of the bulge, and not on the bulge itself. |

Bump a pan just slightly and it would fly off! |

The only use any 1 qt pot has is to scoop dried cat food. |

Just big enough for two eggs. I would think that for $85 they could widen the base and add a little weight. |

Nothing sticks in mine except egg cooked bare, and they clean up supremely easy with my dobie scrubbers. I liked them just fine on my ceramic top stove, but they are just not suited for a gas stove. They tip and theyre very thin, and everything burns even on my simmer burner. Im perfectly happy going back to my cast iron that I didnt use on the ceramic top in the old house. Even my 25 year old Revereware is better than this Circulon. Im not sure how it gets a near perfect review rating. |

Plus, "hard anodized" is a crappy > cooking finish. ;) Hard Anodized is not a cooking finish (at least on a non-stick coated pan). It's the material underneath (aluminum). The original Magna lite is an example of a hard anodized finish that you cook on (and yes, - they suck). Circulon is always coated with some other finish. -ww |

I have a 1000 set of circulon. Best money spent. Then after 10 yr i f them up. The new ones suck. I wish i treated them better. The stock pots and fryers are still perfect. I used the 4 q as a fry pot and while still good were ugly. I cleaned using oven.off. mistake. The new ones i can bend by hand. They are nice though. Not like original.
I felt special with my first set, now i feel like JK. Totally rich but really broke. |

She's been foisting stuff on me for 20+ years. This piece is at least 5 years old. Most of the stuff is top notch stuff and mostly new (up to 30 years ago). Such as the Joyce Chen cleaver which you may have already seen elsewhere and I've had for probably ... 18 years. https://imgur.com/CAVii6Y -sw -sw |
