Circulon Pans: Oven-Safe?

Circulon pans are oven safe, with most pans able to withstand temperatures up to 400°F. However, some pans, such as the Genesis Plus Hard-Anodized Nonstick Frying Pan, can withstand temperatures up to 500°F. These pans are also safe for use on all stovetops, including induction, due to their hard-anodized construction, which is twice as hard as stainless steel. The TOTAL Nonstick System, featuring raised circles and a triple layer of premium nonstick, ensures long-lasting food release and easy cleanup.

Circulon's non-stick pans are designed to make cooking easier and less intimidating for everyone, from amateur cooks to seasoned chefs. Their non-stick coating is PFOA-free and complies with FDA and EU regulations for food contact safety standards, so you can cook with complete peace of mind.

The non-stick coating on Circulon pans is designed to be long-lasting and durable. Their patented High-Low non-stick system is designed to reduce surface abrasion, ensuring that the non-stick performance of their pans lasts longer. Circulon's pans also feature a hard-anodized construction that is twice as hard as stainless steel and is designed to deliver both durability and performance. The TOTAL Nonstick System combines raised circles with a triple layer of premium non-stick coating, ensuring that food is released easily and that cleanup is a breeze.

Circulon pans' oven-safe temperature

Circulon pans are oven-safe up to 400°F (204.44°C). This temperature limit is enough for most cooking styles, but it's important to note that some dishes, like pizza or fast-roasted fish, may require higher heat. While Circulon pans can handle higher temperatures, it's recommended to stay within the specified temperature limit for optimal and long-lasting performance.

The oven-safe temperature of Circulon pans varies depending on the specific type of pan:

• Circulon Frying Pans: Oven-safe up to 400°F.
• Circulon Premier Professional Pans: Advanced non-stick interior allows for a temperature of 350°F.
• Circulon Momentum Pans: Hard-anodized material that is oven-safe up to 400°F.
• Circulon Nonstick Pans: Circular curves and a non-stick layer, oven-safe up to 400°F.
• Circulon Induction Pans: Stainless steel body, oven-safe up to 500°F.
• Circulon Genesis Pans: Hard-anodized body, oven-safe up to 500°F.

The pans' handles are made of silicone, which can withstand temperatures above 400°F for extended periods. The lids are made of tempered glass and can handle temperatures up to 400°F without any plastic knobs.

It's worth noting that Circulon pans are designed for durability and even heat distribution. The non-stick coating lasts 10x longer than ordinary non-stick coatings, and the pans heat up 20% faster with no hot spots.

Circulon pans' durability

Circulon pans are designed with durability in mind. The company offers a lifetime guarantee on all its products, confident in their durability. The ScratchDefense™ range, for example, is made with aerospace-grade material that is 130x more durable than the leading non-stick competitor. This range has been laboratory-tested and shown to withstand over 350,000 heavy metal utensil scrapes with minimal wear and tear. The tests simulated 200+ years of daily wear and tear, with the pans showing no damage.

The pans are also designed with a thick, fully encapsulated steel base that prevents warping and is dishwasher-safe. The base is suitable for all stovetops, including induction, and delivers unrivalled heat distribution. The base is also induction-suitable, with a thick stainless steel base that boosts the pan's durability and heat retention.

Circulon pans are also designed with stay-cool silicone handles that provide a strong grip and comfortable hold. The handles are also oven-safe up to 400°F. The company recommends using the low and medium settings on the hob to prolong the life of the pans and prevent carbon build-up.

To further care for your Circulon pans, it is recommended to season them every few months. This involves pre-heating the pan, adding a tablespoon of oil, heating for 30-60 seconds until the oil smokes, and then letting the pan cool. The excess oil is then wiped off, adding an extra layer of protection to the non-stick surface.

They are designed with safety and comfort in mind, providing a strong grip and a comfortable hold. The handles are also intended to stay cool, even when the pan is in use.

The Circulon website provides clear guidelines for oven safety, stating that all handles will get hot when placed in the oven. Therefore, it is essential to use potholders when removing any Circulon product from the oven. This warning applies to all handle types, including those made from cast stainless steel and silicone.
