Circulon Cookware


Consumer Complaints & Reviews

I have been using Circulon cookware for the past 9 years and like it a lot, however, 4 years back I bought the Circulon cooking set from Costco. Most of the pieces are fine. but the three pieces that I use regularly are in a horrible shape. It is very bad from outside and inside. I cannot cook in them anymore please help me.

I bought Circulon pots and pans ten years ago, and they cooked and cleaned wonderfully. They are in storage so I bought a new set of skillets. However, they do not cook or clean as the old set. Did you change the composition of your anodizing and your process? I am disappointed that the new ones are not as good as the previous set.

I thought these pans would last forever but they burn easily and turn black and and are very hard to clean. My set is the commercial circulon set that I bought at Costco 5 or 6 years ago.

They have grooves in the bottom and are extremely difficult to clean and the finish is coming off and I often find black specks in the food I cook. I regret spending so much money on this product.

I bought this cookware 4 years ago, the protecive coating wore off the bottom of the pans and the sauce pans have even warped where teh cover doesn't fit right anymore. These pots look about 30 years old. I have always hand washed them & used special utensils as not to scratch them. They look and cook terrible. I would never get them again.

These pans are three yrs old and the two skillets have been thrown away...stuck and burned. The pans are still great on the inside, but all of the outside has washed off. I can run my finger over the outside and speaks come off on my finger. They are going in the trash as soon as I can afford to buy a new set of pans...DEFINITELY WON'T BE CIRCULON.

EXPENSIVE, THOUGHT THEY WOULD LAST AT LEAST 10 YRS. I AM 65. WHO KNOWS WHAT METAL OR PAINT THAT WAS ON THE OUTSIDE, GOT INTO FOOD I COOKED, OR WHAT THESE METALS OR PAINT WILL DO TO MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE FUTURE.

The pan became black on the bottom interior and the finish is coming off. I will NEVER buy another Circulon pan.

Don't want to use since interior is coming off.


Two of the circulon frying pans that we own are dangerouly unbalanced and tip easily off the burners. The handles appear to be too heavy.



I bought this expensive cookware set in 2001 when my daughter moved into her new house. She also bought new appliaances. When she cooks with them, the bottoms gets burned-dirty. I have used everything possible to help clean them to no avail. I can't see buying a set of cookware when you can't clean them. I can't find the company number in order to request information on how to clean them. My daughter loves to cook but it is imposible as the residue from the bottom of the cookware gets on her new free burner stove. Please help me.


I live on Social Security and this was a special purchase I made when my daughter moved. Now she doesn't want to use the cookware because of the residue from the bottom of all of the pieces. Even the inside of some of the pots seems to be changing colors. That means that I will have to buy her another set. I paid over $200.00 for the Circulon because I thought that it was the best and I wanted my daughter to have the best. Now I think I bought a lemon.
