Circulon Infinite Hard Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set
From lid to handle to base, each piece of Infinite Circulon cookware is geared for optimal performance in the kitchen--so home chefs can focus on the art of cooking, not the science. The hard-anodized aluminum bodies and stainless-steel bases with encapsulated aluminum cores offer the dual advantages of rapid, even heating and superior durability. Circulon's TOTAL nonstick system (rated the longest wearing by independent lab tests) features an all-over nonstick coating and a Hi-Low ring design that heats food over the entire cooking surface, but reduces abrasion by allowing only a portion of food and utensils to touch. Also, unlike most nonstick pans, Infinite goes right into the dishwasher so cleanup is a breeze.This 10-piece set includes 1-1/2- and 2-quart covered saucepans, an 8-quart covered stockpot, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, and 8- and 10-inch open skillets. Cast stainless-steel handles stay comfortably cool on the stovetop and are riveted for extra strength, and the snug-fitting stainless-steel lids are low-profile and substantial. The set's deep charcoal grey and bright mirror-polish combination looks professional yet stylish enough to bring to the table for serving. All pieces are oven-safe to 500 degrees F and can be used with any stove type. Hard-anodized aluminum also doesn't chip, stain, or scratch so the aptly named Infinite will keep its good looks for many years to come. The set is backed with a limited lifetime warranty.--Kara KarllWhat's in the Box1-1/2- and 2-quart saucepans with lids; 8-quart stockpot with lid; 3-quart sauté pan with lid; 8- and 10-inch open skillets.
