This Circulon skillet is the best!  There’s no other like it as far as I’m concerned. I only wish I had heard about it before now. It cooks better than any cookware I have. The food actually taste better to my husband and me. I got the 12-inch ScratchDefense. So far, it has not scratched, and I don’t expect it to. One awesome feature is, when I’m pouring grease out of the pan, it does not drip and run down the side. There are no cooked on spills at all. It looks as new as it did when I first took it out of the package. You can’t go wrong with this purchase!  I promise you.
