Coated inside and out with rugged nonstick, Circulon 2 cookware eliminates the chore of scrubbing pots and pans. Inside their bottoms, Circulon's patented Hi-Low system of concentric grooves creates narrow ridges to take utensil abuse, leaving low, wide grooves unscathed to readily release food and ensuring long life for the nonstick coating. Beneath the nonstick is harder-than-steel anodized aluminum. Pot and pan bottoms are left uncoated to conduct heat quickly and prevent hot spots. Slip-resistant synthetic grips on riveted, polished, stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and go safely in an oven up to 350 degrees F. Heavyweight, 18/10 stainless-steel lids polished to a mirror finish present a gleaming contrast to the attractive, charcoal gray, enamel-like appearance of Circulon 2's nonstick exterior. This 10-piece set outfits a kitchen with all essential pots and pans. It consists of 1-quart and 2-quart saucepans with lids; a 12-inch sauté pan with a lid; an 8-quart stockpot with a lid; and 8-inch and 10-inch skillets. The Hi-Low concentric grooves climb about an inch up the pots and pans' rounded sides, permitting thorough scraping without damaging the nonstick coating. Circulon 2 cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
