Contempo Fun in the Kitchen
By Scott Anderson
As a professional chef I test and use a variety of kitchen appliances including cookware, bake ware and gadgetry. So I was excited when this cookware set became available on Amazon Vine to test since I've used many Circulon pans for a variety of applications in the kitchen.The pans heat pretty evenly and allow for even cooking across the entire surface. The lids are nice and heavy with an extended handle to allow ease of removal. I have noticed that many reviews rate the tall handles on the lids as an issue. If those reviewers only looked at the shipping box everything they would see that the pans and lids are meant to be together. You are supposed to slide the lid over the pan handle and hand the pan on a pot rack, thus allowing the pan and lid to be stored together. If you stick them in a cupboard you will certainly have issues with storage.When using them or washing them the hollow handles do retain water, but dump them out, then hang them up. Even though they are dishwasher safe the harsh chemicals and cleaners are not good for the cooking surface and I suggest hand cleaning and washing. You can also use metal utensils in the pans but I prefer to use plastic heat tempered utensils with all my non-stick pots and pans.As for the weird warning of molten metal issues when boiling the pans dry, well...duh! DON'T BOIL THE PANS DRY. It's a simple concept in the kitchen, and if you put a pot or a pan on the stove without anything in it, turn up the heat and walk away then you deserve to have ruined pans. The warning must be for those same people that drive their car without antifreeze or oil and expect it to run properly. If you don't take care of your pots and pans in the correct fashion then they will not take care of your meal time when needed.Be safe, be happy and enjoy the best possible cooking with these high quality pots, pans and lids.

Circulon Contempo vs T-Fal
By K. McGee
For years now I've used T-fal cookware almost exclusively. I began buying it because years ago, it was hard to find nonstick cookware that was also dishwasher safe and that's an absolute must for me. If I spent 15 minutes a day washing dishes by hand, that's over 90 hours a year of my time spent on dishes. Life is too short for that.Here's how I think Circulon stacks up against the T-fal set I own:I have to say that the Circulon set is very aesthetically appealing. There's nothing in my kitchen that is red but I found this set was cheery and I like the lines of the handles on the lids and the curve of the pot handles as well. The silver bands at the ends of the handles is also attractive. If I had a pot rack, I would be proud to display this set.The Circulon pots are smaller in diameter and taller than my T-fal. I sort of like that but the downside is that the cupboard where I store my T-fal is not tall and I couldn't stack the Circulon pots the way I can my T-fal. Also, I have a lid "sorter" that is attached to the door of the cabinet. The T-fal lids fit in it much better than the Circulon although to be fair, I see some of the newer T-fal sets also have the lids with handles that stick out every bit as far as these Circulon ones. Though I like the looks of that, it makes lid storage problematic. You can't really stack them and as I said before, they don't fit as well into the sorter either.I really like the covered saute pan in this Circulon set. The sides are straight up and down which is really nice if whatever you're making needs vigorous stirring. My set of T-fal didn't have this piece. The regular skillets/saute pans are fine but when I'm stirring vigorously I sometimes slop a bit over the sides and I didn't have that happen with the saute pan in the Circulon set.I read the paperwork included with the Circulon set and didn't note any care instructions other than not to ever let your cookware boil dry so I assume there isn't anything else you need to worry about. With the T-fal, they suggest that after every 10-15 times you run it through the dishwasher, you "season" your pans by warming on the stove then rubbing cooking oil over the non-stick interior and wiping thoroughly with papertowels. I have found that my non-stick skillets do seem to last longer and retain the non-stick properties better when I stick to this.Regarding cost: Circulon does seem more expensive than T-fal. Since I've only had the Circulon set a short amount of time, I can't speak to durability in comparison to T-fal however, I think T-fal is a very good value in relation to cost. I generally get at least 5 years or more use out of T-fal and we don't molly-coddle the pieces at all.There are two things I really don't like at all about the Circulon cookware.1. The handles of the pots and skillets are hollow. After using them for a few days, I couldn't figure out where all the water was coming from in my cupboards and below my range where I store the skillets. I use the drying cycle on my dishwasher so.....why all the water??? I figured it out when I was removing a skillet from the dishwasher by grasping the side of the skillet rather than the handle and water splattered over the other dry dishes and onto the floor. It was coming from the hollow handle. UGH! I don't want to have to empty out the handles and then dry by hand prior to being able to put them away. I don't have to do that with my T-fal set. This might not be a big deal to some but it is to me.2. The handles of the Circulon are attached through and through the sides of the cookware leaving two round, smooth "heads" that protrude slightly inside the pots and pans. I made caramel corn using the largest Circulon pot. We like to eat some of it while it's still warm so I left the pot for a few hours while we watched a movie. When I came back to clean up my kitchen, I swabbed out the interior of the pot using a dish cloth but had to use a dobie around the metal heads to get all the cooked on caramel off. I could have just soaked it I suppose but I wanted to get the dishwasher loaded and the kitchen cleaned up so I could go to bed. I don't want to be faced with dishes soaking in my sink first thing in the morning. I don't know how this will work as time goes by. Will the handles loosen letting bits of food in behind the metal heads??? Only time will tell and, again, to be fair, I've noticed that certain sets of T-Fal also have the through and through attachment of handles. This isn't as big a deal to me (so far) as the water issue above but it does give me pause a little.Both T-fal and Circulon have some other great pieces you can add to your basic set. Circulon offers pieces that T-fal does not and conversely, T-fal has things that Circulon does not offer so in that way, it would just depend on your individual needs which set might work best for you. Before buying, I would suggest visiting each website and deciding what items you most want/need to decide which set would suit you best.Final Impression: Both brands have a lot to like, not the least of which is being dishwasher safe, both offer a variety of choices to add pieces to your basic set but I think overall, I like T-fal better. The cost is less, I already know how durable they are and so far, the T-fal is more readily available both online and in retail stores. However, I did like the Circulon enough that I wouldn't mind doing a bit of mixing/matching with my T-fal set so I could get the "best of both worlds". As time goes along, if I notice a significant disparity regarding durability between the T-fal and Circulon, I'll update this review.

By T. Dunlap
The first thing I noticed when taking the cookware out of the box was the weight of each item. Each feels solid and far from "delicate" like some of the other brands I have used. The handles are longer, curved and have a nice silicone grip making them both comfortable to use and to hold on to. The pans have rings on the end of the handles, making them easy to hang. The rings fold down nicely and nest into the end of the handle. The lids are glass with a nice high silicone covered grip making these both user friendly and easy to grasp. This design does make it more difficult to store in the cabinet, but if you turn the lids upside down on the pan, they "nest" nicely. One could also hang these since the handles are about 3" high. One down side is, the lids do not seem interchangeable, as they don't seem to fit correctly on the fry pans.I was pleasantly surprised to find this cookware will go into the oven. According to the manufacturer's website, it can safely be used to 400 degrees F. I also found a warning that the handles may fade over time from oven use but will not affect the silicone grips or the cookware.This cookware is hard-anodized and has the Dupont Autograph Nonstick Total Food Release System and is metal utensil safe. There is a warning against using sharp utensils such as forks and knives, but other metal items are not supposed to damage the nonstick coating.Unlike many of the other nonstick pans I've used, the manufacturer discourages the used of nonstick cooking spray. This cookware is not required to be seasoned either before the first use or after X amount of uses like some of the other brands I have used in the past.How do these pans compare? They are AWESOME! (Am I really saying that about non-stick cookware?!) They heat slower than the thinner pans, retain the heat better, but do require a medium to low heat. High heat will damage the pans. As for being nonstick, I was skeptical especially when seeing the Hi-Low wave rings on the bottom of the inside of the cookware. They appeared to be places that eggs would seep into and stick. That is not the case at all! The eggs slid right out of the pan with no residue left behind. Keeping your fat intake down? These pans are wonderful for that as you DON'T need ANY oil or butter to cook your eggs! In these pans, fat is only required for added flavor.The Circulon Contempo Nonstick Cookware Set is also dishwasher safe. Something I don't remember with my older pans. This cookware also comes with a limited lifetime guarantee which does not cover misuse - high heat, sharp utensils, etc.If you are wondering what red you will be getting, it's a lighter and brighter red than my KitchenAid Empire Red and leans more towards a candy apple red.This is the first time I've ever been satisfied with nonstick cookware. Actually, I'm very impressed with it and am hopeful it will last for many years to come!
