Know before you buy
Yes, the Circulon Symmetry set features impact-bonded stainless steel bases, making it fully compatible with all stovetops, including induction, gas, and electric.
Yes, this set is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup convenient. However, hand washing is generally recommended for any nonstick cookware to help extend the life of the coating.
The cookware and lids are oven safe up to 400°F. This allows you to start a dish on the stovetop and finish it in the oven without switching pans.
This specific set uses a traditional triple-layer nonstick system that is not PFOA-free. If you are strictly looking for PFOA-free or ceramic-based coatings, you may want to consider other options.
The handles are made of rubberized cast stainless steel, which is designed to stay cool on the stovetop under normal cooking conditions. Because they are rubberized, they provide a secure, non-slip grip, but they should not be used under a broiler.
The set includes a variety of essential pieces, such as frying pans and saucepans, designed to cover most daily cooking needs. Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's site for the exact breakdown of pan sizes and lid counts.
