Product Description

Whip up healthy meals in a flash with this 12" stir fry. The shallow sides and slightly open shape allow for a quick yet thorough mixing of your favorite ingredients. Features the TOTAL hard anodized Hi-Low food release system that's guaranteed to outlast all other nonstick cookware. Hand wash. Lifetime customer satisfaction guarantee.

Coated inside and out with rugged nonstick, Circulon 2 cookware eliminates the chore of scrubbing pots and pans. Inside their bottoms, Circulon's patented Hi-Low system of concentric grooves creates narrow ridges to take utensil abuse, leaving low, wide grooves unscathed to readily release food and ensuring long life for the nonstick coating. Beneath the nonstick is harder-than-steel anodized aluminum. Pot and pan bottoms are left uncoated to conduct heat quickly and prevent hot spots. Slip-resistant synthetic grips on riveted, polished, stainless-steel handles stay cool on the stovetop and go safely in an oven up to 350 degrees F. Heavyweight, 18/10 stainless-steel lids polished to a mirror finish present a gleaming contrast to the attractive, charcoal gray, enamel-like appearance of Circulon 2's nonstick exterior.

The Hi-Low concentric grooves climb all the way up the rounded sides of this 12-inch stir-fry pan (which doesn't have a lid), permitting thorough stirring and scraping without damaging the nonstick coating. It's 3 inches deep, providing room for lots of vegetables or Asian preparations. Wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, it can be used to deep-fry food with less oil than a straight-sided pan. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Customer Reviews:

• The most useful pan I own
  Of all the pans in my kitchen, this is the one I use the most. This pan is pretty heavy and is extremely durable, and nothing sticks to the surface, even crusted items that have been burned on the bottom of the pan. They didn't skimp with the handle like on some other pans -- its thickness makes it easy to lift a heavy load of food, and it seems like it can take a lot of abuse. Overall, I think the closest competitor to this pan is the stir-fry pan from Analon, but after holding both in my hands at the store, I chose this one due to the handle and the seemingly-better non stick surface.

  This appears to be the exact pan that Martin Yan always uses on his PBS show ("Chinatowns") -- he almost never uses a wok, and when he does, it's the Circulon 2 wok (which I don't have, because who needs it with this 12" stir fry pan). Granted, I'm sure that Circulon sponsors his show, but it's still a good pan.

  This pan is most useful as a wok replacement. Because it doesn't have a flat bottom, I can't use it for everything (e.g. omletts), but I also frequently use it in non-wok situations such as pasta sauces. At 12" it can fit a surprising amount of stir-fry, enough for 4-6 people if it's filled to the brim, but occasionally I do wish Circulon made a bigger stir-fry pan besides their wok. I also wish it came with a lid, but I own a 12" lid from another pan, so I don't need one.

  After owning this pan for a year, I am so impressed with Circulon that now I always search for pans in the Circulon 2 lineup before considering anything else....more info

• Amazon emailed me to review a product they cancelled
  I ordered three of these pans for a price of $9.49 each but Amazon cancelled the order because they said they were out of stock. I suppose it was a price mistake. Now I get an email asking me to review the item I ordered but never received. Hmmm.
  
  What can I say? I probably would have liked the pans.

• it's a great wok
  This is a great wok for everyday use. I have been using this model for more than 10 years. I'm buying my third one for future use.
  
  One lesson I learned is that it can not handle high heat (the wok will change color). I have learned to cook using medium heat. The handle is very comfortable and food does not stick! I use it many times a week to stir fry meat, tofu, veggies, noodles and rice. It is also very easy to clean.
  
  This is a great product and by far the best wok I have used (surely better and cheaper than Calphalon). ...more info
• Great pan-- everyone should have one
  I have the same model pan, only with a cover, and I can't say enough good things about it. First, the nonstick coating is incredible! NOTHING gets trapped on this at all, and even things like browned onions, etc. slide right off. Second, the pan heats evenly through its entire surface. I use it for nearly everything and its really served me well....more info
• When they say no-stick, they *mean * no-stick!
  Wow... this pan is incredible! Food literally glides off it, even when I don't even use oil! And I've never had a pan that's easier to clean in my whole life. Eggs, fish, baked chicken in mushroom cream sauce, you name it.
  
  Ironically, I've made everything *except* stir-fry stuff in it so far, partly because I'm used to using high heat when I make such dishes and the instructions on this pan note that high heat should not be used with it. But other than that... no complaints at all....more info
• Circulon products are the best
  It seems like I had to buy a non stick pan every two years even though I followed instructions and maintained them according to manufacture directions. However, recently I purchased the Circulon round grill pan. I was truly amazed. No sprays or oils needed, easy clean up. With regard to the 12" pan with lid, it's great. I do wish it had a handle on the other side because it would be easier to lift. Highly recommend....more info
• Helps Me Cook Delicious, Nutritious, and Quick Meals
  I finally jumped on the "stir-fry" bandwagon, and I'm glad I did. I use this pan to make quick and delicious meals for the family that I know are nutritious. I recently cooked talapia in a lemon sauce and also cooked lemony salmon. Both meals came out really good, and I am sure that the pan had alot to do with it. I'm a handy man and a carpenter, and I know that using the right tool for the job is key. In this case, this pan is the right tool for stir frying. Next on the list is orange chicken. The family is already looking forward to it. And clean up? It could not have been easier--water, soap, sponge, and under 15 seconds. Make sure to use wooden utensils and a silicon tong. Price was very reasonable; two day shipping was free; no tax applied. Amazon is great! I know that this pan is going to get alot of use. And because of this pan, I know that the family is getting nutritious and delicious meals cooked quickly. Go stir-fry!...more info
• An excellent value
  This is is great size for the typical family and the quality of the pan is excellent. Keep the pan out of the dishwasher (which isn't hard since non-stick surface makes food just slide off), away from metal utensils, and don't overheat and the non-stick surface will last for many years....more info
• Pan saved my life
  My old stir fry pan finally gave up the ghost. Fortunately I found this circulon in an ad and ordered it immediately. I love it. It's heavier than the old one. Handle is great length. Easy to push cooked ingredients up the sides. Wonderful to use--easy to clean. All in all a great product. ...more info
• THE BEST
  Funny I should run across this forum, because I am online looking to buy ANOTHER one of these little beauties!!!! I am literally tossing out all my other pans except for my stockpot and a few saucepans, because I use this almost EVERYDAY for EVERYTHING!!! Nothing sticks, it's EASY to clean up, and what more can I say . . . . 10 stars would do this pan little justice . . . . you'll hardly ever need another pan in your life!!...more info
• My wife loves it, what more can I say.
  My wife used it for more than a month now. It is easy to cook and easy to clean. Handles easily with one hand. Too bad does not come with a glass lid. But it really worth the money....more info

• Circulon 2 12-Inch Open Stir Fry Pan
  Highly recommended.
  It's a "2", making it a sturdier, heftier pan than a "Classic." I bought this "2" 12-Inch pan to replace my "Circulon Classic 11-Inch Nonstick Stir Fry Pan" bought in 2000 here at Amazon (= still available at Amazon) because of its slightly larger size.
  I gave the 11-Inch Classic [in still perfect condition after all my use of more than 3 years] away to my college kid who wanted to buy one like Mom's stir-fry pan herself.
  Just take good care of your pan, wood or plastic utensils only, and DO NOT overheat coated pans, and you'll be happy....more info
