CIRCULON®, the Original Hard-Anodized Nonstick Cookware, was introduced in 1984 after Circulon engineers were the first in the industry to combine the superior strength and heat distribution of hard-anodized aluminum with a durable Hi-Low nonstick system. Circulon's unique Hi-Low surface made the pans at least three times more abrasion resistant than any other nonstick cookware on the market. So unique and unprecedented was this type of cookware, it was actually granted a patent.

Since then, Circulon has grown to become the best-selling brand of cookware in the world. Over the years, they have pioneered a series of innovative cooking solutions including:

• The first hard-anodized nonstick cookware (Circulon 2, Total, Elite and Infinite Circulon)
• The first hard-anodized cookware that is completely dishwasher-safe and suitable for all stovetops, including induction. (Infinite Circulon)

And so the concept of “hard-anodized nonstick cookware” was born. For the first time, consumers enjoyed the convenience of nonstick cookware PLUS the performance and features of a professional pan. Before Circulon, nonstick cookware didn't offer guarantees or warranties. Today, all Circulon cookware comes with a lifetime satisfaction guarantee.
