This 12-inch pan of Circulon is perfect for my family of 5. Great for big families. It has great design with superb construction. It’s very sturdy, strong and solid made of heavy-duty hard-anodized aluminum. It has raised circles with triple layer. The upper surface gets scratches so easily though with metal utensils that’s why I used silicone utensils with it. Yes it’s nonstick and it only needs little oil to fry porkchop and fish that’s why I use it almost daily. Plus, it’s very easy to clean! I like it but I’m very careful using it as I don’t want to scratch the outer surface that touches the food. I highly recommend it!
