About this product
This five-piece induction hob pan set from Circulon offers a comprehensive collection of cookware for everyday cooking. The set includes a 16cm, 18cm, and 20cm saucepan with stainless steel lids, alongside a 20cm and 24cm frying pan – providing versatility for various meal preparations. Designed for ease of use and cleaning, the non-stick surfaces ensure food doesn't stick, thanks to Circulon’s patented hi-low release system technology.
The pans are suitable for all cooker types, including induction hobs, boasting a fully encapsulated stainless steel and aluminium base that delivers quick and even heat distribution. Constructed with a heavy gauge hard anodised body – twice as durable as stainless steel – these pans are built to withstand regular use and are dishwasher safe. They’re also oven-safe up to 240°C (465°F) / Gas Mark 9, and despite being non-stick, they can be used with metal utensils.
Featuring solid cast stainless steel riveted handles and stainless steel lids, this set offers a premium feel and durability. The pans’ robust construction means they are suitable for busy households and those who appreciate long-lasting quality. They come in a stylish black finish.
This collection is ideal for anyone seeking reliable cookware that performs well on an induction hob.
