Circulon Infinite Circulon 6-Quart Covered Chef Pan with Helper Handle Review

This pan is a big improvement over the original Circulon pot I have with the deep circular grooves.This pan has shallow bumps on the pan bottom that are extremely easy to clean.This particular chefs pan is a great size for meals for 4.I love the high straight sides.The pan is heavy for me so I cannot easily lift it or toss ingredients using one hand.The heaviness is the biggest negative for me over the wok I had that this replaces.The reason for the weight is a layer of stainless steel on the bottom of the pan, which is very flat.The lid is also stainless steel and tight fitting.I cook over a budget electric range and the pan is reasonably even heating.I have not noticed the handle getting hot at all, but I have not used very high heat on this pan because it so far does not seem to need it.The non-stick performance has been great, and the pan cleans up very easily.I always hand wash and have not tried in the dishwasher.The pan with the handle seems a little big to fit efficiently in a dishwasher.I like this pan so much that I am going to buy more of the Circulon Infinite cookware.

UPDATE: I have had this pan over a year now and it continues to perform well.I only use wood or nylon utensils with the pan, never metal.The "non-stick" has held up very well, but I always wipe a small amount of oil onto the pan with a paper towel.Just enough to coat the bottom - there should be no visible oil.Just a sheen.I have moved to a gas burner, and the pan still cooks very evenly.The bottom is still dead flat.This pan gets used at least 3 times a week for everything from braising, frying, sauteing, and stir frying.I still highly recommend this pan.

Product Description:
The sides of a chef's pan are gently sloped, just enough to round the edges of the pan. Getting rid of the sharp corners makes stirring or whisking more efficient.
