From lid to handle to base, each piece of Infinite Circulon cookware is geared for optimal performance in the kitchen - so home chefs can focus on the art of cooking, not the science. The hard-anodized aluminium bodies and stainless-steel bases with encapsulated aluminium cores offer the dual advantages of rapid, even heating and durability. Circulon's TOTAL non-stick system (rated the longest wearing by independent lab tests) features an all-over non-stick coating and a Hi-Low ring design that heats food over the entire cooking surface, but reduces abrasion by allowing only a portion of food and utensils to touch. Also, unlike other non-stick pans, Infinite goes right into the dishwasher so clean-up is a breeze. This handy skillet is ideal for preparing a quick meal for one or a side dish for two. It is designed with semi-deep, slanted sides for effortless food release and a long, gently arched stick handle made of heat-resistant cast stainless steel and riveted for extra strength. The deep charcoal grey and bright mirror-polish combination looks sleekly professional yet elegant enough to bring to the table for serving. Can be used on all stovetops. Hard-anodized aluminium also doesn't chip, stain, or scratch, so the aptly named Infinite will keep its looks for many years to come. Oven safe to 240 degree Celsius /475 degree Fahrenheit / gas mark 9. It is backed with a limited lifetime warranty.
