Circulon Acclaim Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set

Circulon Acclaim Cookware Set Keeps its Promises
Circulon Acclaim Hard Anodized Non- Stick 10 Piece Cookware Set is a nice, professional looking cookware set designed to make cooking and cleaning more trouble- free. The set includes three pots and three pans with see- through glass lids and has just the right number of sizes to satisfy most kitchen needs.

Cooking isn't really my thing but if I have to cook, I want something that will help make the task as simple and trouble free as possible. This cookware set satisfies these conditions on most all levels and the first thing consumers will notice is that the nonstick claim isn't exaggerated. The PFTE coating on this cookware really does prevent sticking and this makes cooking far less of a hassle due to the quick cleanup afterward. This reason alone is enough to consider this cookware set. I have used others that claimed to be non- stick, but did not work very well. This cookware set does what it says.

Cooking with this set of pots and pans is easier, too, and...

So... wow.. these are great!
I was really nervous & skeptical about these... mostly due to them being non-stick. Every single non stick pan, pot, etc I have used has eventually lost it's surface and ended up a half non stick / half regular pot. And usually where do those scrapped off fragment go? Probably into our food! So lately i have avoided buy any thing non stick.

But.. enter these babies....

Pro's:

They look great! Very stylish. Very sturdy feeling, I gave them a flex test - they seem very well put together.

We used these for thanksgiving and since they said "metal safe" I went to town on them with spatulas and spoons, etc.. guess what - no scratches! No loss of the non stick material! I will use plastic utensils in the future but I wanted to test them out.

I was dubious of the ridges, they say it helps to cook food faster, lets them release more flavor, etc.. I will say it does seem to work. I don't know the science of it but grilling soe chicken...

Pretty good non-stick set
There are a lot of great things about this set. All the handles are cushioned and insulated, meaning you can be pretty confident when grabbing a handle with a bare hand. In particular, the stock pot has nice handles that are far from the pot AND cushioned/insulated. My wife once had to go to the hospital because of stock pot handles burning her (leading to getting scalded by hot spaghetti water), so this is a big deal to us.

The pots & pans are nice sizes, with a lot of good variety. The tops fit securely, and everything is rated for a good amount of heat. (It's PTFE coated, so you don't want them getting too hot!) Just while writing this review, my wife has reminded me three times how much she likes the size of the stock pot!

The non-stick coating seems to work well, and the bolts attaching the handle to the actual pan appear to be very tight and haven't obviously collected any food thus far. That's been an issue in some pans we've owned, since those...
