A two-pan skillet set covering the two sizes that get the most use in most kitchens. The 21.5cm handles the smaller everyday jobs — eggs for one or two, a quick stir-fry for a midweek meal, sautéed vegetables, a single steak. The 28cm steps up for family-sized cooking — breakfast eggs for the household, two steaks side by side, a generous omelette or frittata, pan-frying a flattened chicken, or larger batch stir-fries.

The size pairing is what makes this set genuinely useful. Most home cooks own a single mid-size pan and find themselves frustrated on both ends — too small for family meals, too big for breakfast for one. Having both sizes in the cupboard means you reach for the right tool rather than compromising. The 21.5cm also doubles as the everyday pan for one-person households where the 28cm is overkill, and the 28cm becomes the entertaining pan when there's more than two people at the table.

The ScratchDefense nonstick is what sets this apart from a standard nonstick set. Most nonstick pans 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 years of regular use rather than the typical 18-month replacement cycle.

The induction-suitable steel base bonded with two layers of aluminium gives proper edge-to-edge heat distribution across both pans. Both work on gas, electric, induction, and ceramic. Cast silicone handles stay cool on the cooktop and oven safe to 200°C for stove-to-oven finishing.

Made without PFOA. Backed by Circulon's limited lifetime warranty.
