A three-piece cookware set covering three different cooking techniques in one purchase — large-format frying in the 30.4cm skillet, soup and stock work in the 24cm stockpot, and steamed vegetables, fish, or dumplings in the matching 24cm steamer insert that sits on top of the stockpot.

The steamer insert is what makes this set genuinely useful rather than just another skillet-and-pot pairing. Steaming is the cooking technique most home kitchens skip because it requires either a dedicated bamboo steamer or a separate steamer pot — both extra kit that lives in the cupboard most of the year. A drop-in steamer insert that uses the same stockpot doubles your cookware's range without adding more storage burden. Steam vegetables alongside boiling pasta, finish dumplings over a stock, or build a layered Asian-style steamed meal using the stockpot underneath.

The 30.4cm skillet is the big everyday frypan that handles family-sized cooking — breakfast eggs for four to six people, two flat-iron steaks side by side, a full stir-fry, or pan-frying a flattened chicken. The 24cm 5.6L stockpot is the soup and pasta workhorse — a family batch of pasta, a curry for guests, a stock from a Sunday roast carcass, or a generous batch of soup.

The ScratchDefense nonstick is what sets this apart from standard cookware sets. Most nonstick wears out within 12-24 months of daily use because the coating scratches off — 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.

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

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