Cooking is my relaxing activity and that means I have multiple pots and pans. However one of the issues that come up is food sticking to bottom of pan. This Cirlulon pan is one of the best I have used and seen in a long time. The bottom of pan has a raised surface that allows for even heating, creating even cooking as well as preventing food sticking. I'm so impressed with this pan that I'm looking at replacing my entire kitchen set for this brand!
