I've only had the skillets about 2 weeks so I can't say anything about durability, but I have used the 10" every day so far and the results have been flawless. The pan heats slowly on my glass top stove because of the thick bottom but the heat is very even. I've made numerous omelets with this pan so far using no oil and there has been no sticking. Another plus is that the pan bottom is so evenly heated that the color of the omelet is evenly browned across the whole surface
Clean up is a breeze, run a little water over the pan and it's clean even if it had residue from bacon in it. I have not used soap in it so far, just a little hot water and everything slides off. Just wipe dry and put away.
Note: I do preheat the pan before putting the eggs into it. Adding eggs to the pan and then heating usually results in the eggs sticking no matter what kind of pan.
I've had the large 6 quart Chef's pan from Circulon for about two months now and have used it heavily with great results also, including browning chicken in the pan adding veggies and spices and then covering the pan with its lid and baking in the oven. Once again, no sticking and very easy cleanup. Pans are supposed to be dishwasher safe but unless something changes over time I can see no reason for putting them in the dishwasher."..." Read more
