The Circulon Radiance Deep Frying Pan with Lid is a covered deep skillet from Circulon's Radiance line, made by Meyer Corporation. It pairs a gray hard-anodized aluminum pan with Circulon's TOTAL Nonstick System and a shatter-resistant glass lid. The listing describes it as dishwasher safe and oven safe to 400°F, and says it works with most cooktops except induction.
This review goes through what the listing says about the pan's construction, nonstick surface, lid, handle, cooktop compatibility, oven use, cleanup and warranty.
What You Get
This is a single item: one deep skillet and its glass lid, sold together as a covered deep skillet. The set selected on the listing is the Deep Skillet. Circulon offers other Radiance pieces and sets on the same page, but they are separate products and are not part of this review.
The listing names frying and general cooking as the recommended uses for this pan.
Hard-Anodized Aluminum Construction
The pan is built from hard-anodized aluminum. Circulon says this construction delivers "fast, even heating without hot spots," and the product description lists even heat among the pan's features. The listing also calls it a "durable, hard-anodized frying pan."
Those heating and durability descriptions are Circulon's own wording from the listing.
The TOTAL Nonstick System of Raised Circles
The cooking surface uses what Circulon calls its TOTAL Nonstick System, a pattern of raised circles across the pan. Circulon describes the pan as "premium nonstick cookware."
According to Circulon, the raised-circle system provides "natural food release" and "easy cleanup that lasts 10 times longer than normal nonsticks." Both of these are brand claims stated on the listing.
A Deep Skillet With a Shatter-Resistant Glass Lid
Circulon presents this as a "feature forward deep frying pan." It is a deep skillet rather than a standard frying pan, and it comes with its own lid.
The lid is shatter-resistant tempered glass. In the product description, Circulon says the glass lid retains heat.
Dual-Riveted Stainless Steel Handle
The handle is cast stainless steel with silicone, and it is attached to the pan with two rivets. Circulon calls it a "sturdy, dual-riveted stainless steel handle."
Which Cooktops It Works On
The listing states that the pan is compatible with most cooktops except induction. The cooktops it names are electric coil, gas and smooth-surface non-induction.
The pan is not compatible with induction cooktops. If you cook on induction, this pan does not work with your cooktop.
Oven Use
The pan is rated oven safe to 400°F. Circulon groups this under "high heat performance" and lists it for "stove-to-oven recipes."
Cleanup and Care
The pan is listed as dishwasher safe. That appears in the listing title, in the feature list and in the care details. Circulon describes it as "dishwasher safe for fast and easy cleanup."
Circulon also ties easy cleanup to its TOTAL Nonstick System, as covered in the nonstick section above.
Warranty
Circulon covers the pan with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, as stated on the listing.
The Drawback to Know About
Induction is the limitation the listing spells out. The pan works on gas, electric coil and smooth-surface non-induction cooktops, but not on induction.
Final Thoughts
The Circulon Radiance Deep Frying Pan with Lid brings together hard-anodized aluminum construction, Circulon's raised-circle TOTAL Nonstick System, a shatter-resistant glass lid and a dual-riveted cast stainless steel handle with silicone. It is listed as dishwasher safe, oven safe to 400°F and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
It is a covered deep skillet for frying and general cooking on gas, electric coil and smooth-surface non-induction cooktops. It is not compatible with induction.
