Circulon Nonstick Bakeware 2 Piece Chocolate Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "These are very nice baking pans. Sturdy pans that stay flat in the oven."
• "The Caphelon set still looks brand new whole being subject to the same use and cleaning cycle."
• "The size & the feel really affirms the durability in this product."
• "So far there is no warping or discoloration."
• "This set is not only very attractive but it is so easy to clean and is a wonderful addition to my baking supplies."
• "These are better than any others I've ever gotten."
• "These Circulon have been used a dozen times and they still look like new."

Cons:

• "For the last two weeks the bacon has been sticking to the point of having to scrape."
• "Unfortunately, chicken marinade has now stained it permanently):"
• "Dirty water gets trapped in the curled over edges."
• "Another one arrived with little dents and some debris that had been non-stick coated right over."
• "The anti stick coating on the other pans is already failing and flaking off."
• "After a few months of use, the outer layer is peeling off."
• "The ridges were impossible to get clean, and then the finish started coming off."

Warping

Pros:

• "These also don't do the big twist and Bang when the temperature changes."
• "They are very 'non-stick' and barely need any spray."
• "Yes, at higher temps it does warp slightly, but not severely, and it returns to its sturdy shape when cooled."
• "When I bake cookies at 350 and pull the pan out it is slightly warped, but as it cools it returns to its correct shape (flat)."
• "Works great with all oven temperatures without bending in high heat."
• "After it cooled down, it went back to being flat, unlike my other cookie sheet which stays warped."
• "I made pizza so the temp was on 425° and the pan didn't warp in the oven."

Cons:

• "I had the crap scared out of me when I heard this really loud 'POP!'"
• "We put this pan with a couple of chicken breast in a 350° oven only to hear it pop, twist and warp."
• "Very nice looking but advertising said they did not warp. As soon as they get hot they warp and food flys all over."
• "I initially loved these cookie sheets. I have had them about 4 months and hand wash them. They are now warping in the oven."
• "They bow when heated above 350."
• "This pan looks and feels fantastic. However, at a certain temperature it will 'warp' with two edges pulling together to make an imbalanced not-flat surface."
• "I put it in a 375 degree oven and within 30 seconds I heard the tell tale rumble in the oven. Pulled it out and yup. Warped. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!"

Cleaning

Pros:

• "Really very pleased by the quality."
• "The price paid was a steal."
• "I would definitely recommend this product, and the price is great!"
• "The best cooking sheets I have ever purchased."
• "Foods just slide right off. Clean-up is easy."
• "These exceeded my expectations by far. Easy to clean, no stick and color is a rich brown just like pictured."
• "The nonstick part works well and easy to clean."

Cons:

• "Everything seems to burn on them even when you have the oven on a lower temperature than the recipe calls for."
• "I always rinse mine pretty well but they come out of the dishwasher looking like they haven’t even been washed and I have to scour them to get them clean."
• "I like The nonstick although it’s very difficult to clean because food gets in between the grooves it took me two hours to scrub it and clean it."
• "Only thing I dislike is how they curve the ends under. This catches water whole cleaning and gets gross."
• "Stains still there and also rust spots on dish towel used to dry them."
• "One of them still works as non-stick, the other has a permanent brown sticky shmoo that no amount of scrubbing, soaking or dishwashing will remove."
• "However, the large tray is just a few mm too big for my (average size Miele built in) oven, it catches on the shelf rails."

Non-Stick Quality

Pros:

• "I have been using Circulon products for more than 20 years."
• "They cook like... well, they cook like pans."
• "Definitely worth the money."
• "After several uses and washes, the coating is intact and does NOT peel or chip."
• "Probably one of the best pans I have used. I like the design with ridges on the bottom."
• "This is the 2nd set of these pans we have purchased. Best feature is they are durable, non-stick and super easy to clean."
• "Baked goods just slide right off! Cleans up like a dream!"

Cons:

• "They have buckled under the broiler, but that doesn't affect my use for them."
• "With concerns to being non-stick I would say it is just OK."
• "I ordered these 3 years ago... I have been totally disappointed in these baking sheets."
• "Teflon blistering and peeling after 4 months."
• "I’m not sure why but everything that is made from puff pastry burns on the surface."
• "Just found out it will deform when close to 450, twisted on me."
• "I don't believe the positive reviews were all written by lucky liars -- but by people who got the same bakeware we did, and wrote glowingly short afterward. Months later, I suspect a LOT of them are pissed off."
