An 18cm covered saucepan with 2.8L capacity — the workhorse size of most kitchens. Big enough for a batch of pasta water for two, a family-sized soup, a curry, a generous rice cook, or a sauce reduction without splashing over the sides. Small enough to heat fast and store easily.

The ScratchDefense nonstick is the headline feature. Most nonstick saucepans wear out within 12-24 months of daily use because the coating scratches off with metal utensils, dishwasher cycles, or aggressive scrubbing. Circulon's three-layer ScratchDefense coating is tested to 350,000 scrapes without scratching — metal utensil safe, dishwasher safe, and rated to survive the kind of use that destroys cheaper nonstick.

The induction-suitable steel base bonded with two layers of aluminium gives edge-to-edge heat distribution rather than the hotspot-in-the-middle that ruins delicate work like rice, custards, and reductions. Works on gas, electric, induction, and ceramic.

The tempered glass lid earns its place through real working features rather than just keeping moisture in. Dual-sized straining holes mean you can drain pasta water, blanched vegetables, or boiled potatoes directly from the pan without a colander — one fewer dirty dish per meal. Pour spouts on both sides let you decant stock, soup, or sauce cleanly. Together those two features eliminate the workflow of "transfer pan contents to another vessel" that adds time and washing to most cooking jobs.

Double-riveted silicone-over-steel handles stay cool on the cooktop and give a secure grip when the pan is full. Oven safe to 200°C for finishing dishes that start on the stove.
