Circulon Infinite is great for induction cooking!
I got this pan when I got my Circulon Infinite Induction Cooker. The conductivity of the aluminum with the induction capability of the stainless disk make a great cook pan! I deep fry, stir fry, saute before braising, braise, boil for pasta, etc., etc., etc! Clean up is a snap! It quickly became my favorite cook pan because I don't have the "hot spot" problem with it that I have with some other pans using and induction burner. I use primarily All-Clad, but I now intend to buy other Circulon Infinite cookware. And guess what, I used to hate Circulon cookware!

It works perfectly for my uses.
I like to make my own sauces and stocks in large quantities then freeze them for later use. I have found that a "saucier" type of pot, that gets wider at the top, allows more water to evaporate and quickens the thickening process. Up till now I've used a 5.5 qt. stainless steel pot but it finally gave out and is no longer being made. I shopped around and read all the reviews for large sauciers like this Circulon.

Now that I've tested it, I'm glad to report that the pot works perfectly and I recommend it for the use I make of it.
The pot is indeed rather heavy. On the plus side that gives it very ... Read More
Awesome Pan!
This is an incredible pan and I love it. I can't believe I've had to wait this long to get a pan that doesn't have sticking problems and is a cinch to clean. Thanks a million!
Great saute pan
This pan is a big improvement over the original Circulon pot I have with the deep circular grooves. This pan has shallow bumps on the pan bottom that are extremely easy to clean. This particular chefs pan is a great size for meals for 4. I love the high straight sides. The pan is heavy for me so I cannot easily lift it or toss ingredients using one hand. The heaviness is the biggest negative for me over the wok I had that this replaces. The reason for the weight is a layer of stainless steel on the bottom of the pan, which is very flat. The lid is also stainless steel and tight fitting. I cook over a budget electric range and the pan is reasonably even heating. I have not noticed the handle getting hot at all, but I have not used very ... Read More
