TOTAL® Nonstick System

Circulon features the patented TOTAL® Nonstick System which combines a Hi-Low Food Release System with the most advanced nonstick coating available.

Food cooks (and releases) on the entire surface of the pan, but raised circles (the “Hi” area) allow only 25% of the cooking surface to take the abuse of utensils, protecting the majority of the cooking surface (the “Low” area) from abrasion. The result? Unparalleled cooking performance and nonstick durability.

Unlike ordinary hard-anodized pans, Circulon also features a nonstick exterior.  Not only does this make cleanup a snap, but it also means that the pan won’t stain, scratch or chip (thanks to the hard-anodizing process) and that your Circulon cookware will look beautiful for years to come.
