The Circulon 12-Inch ScratchDefense™ Nonstick Frying Pan starts with the nonstick technology Circulon invented—hard-anodized construction—then adds a triple-layer ScratchDefense™ surface that stands up to metal spatulas and everyday use. It's a large 12-inch skillet designed for family-size meals, from weeknight stir-fries to Sunday frittatas, and it's dishwasher safe for quick cleanup.
Even the best nonstick pan can lose its slide if it's over-heated, cleaned with abrasive scrubbers, or used with cooking sprays that burn onto the surface. The good news is that Circulon's ScratchDefense™ triple-layer coating is designed to last 130X longer than traditional nonstick* when cared for properly. To keep it performing, avoid high heat when the pan is empty, use a little oil or butter for cooking, and let the pan cool before washing.
Minor surface marks are mostly cosmetic and do not make the pan unsafe. However, if the coating begins to peel or flake into food, it's time to replace the pan. ScratchDefense™ is engineered to minimize scratching in the first place, so you can use metal utensils with confidence and still enjoy a smooth cooking surface.
If your pan is starting to stick, give it a deep clean with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse and dry, then apply a thin layer of cooking oil and heat gently for a minute. This helps refresh the nonstick surface. Going forward, use medium heat, add fat before food, and hand wash to get the longest life from the coating.
Yes, this pan is oven safe up to 400°F, so you can start a dish on the stove and finish it under the broiler or in the oven. The stainless steel handle stays secure and oven-safe at that temperature. Always use a potholder when removing it.
While this pan is dishwasher safe for convenience, hand washing with mild detergent and a soft sponge is the best way to protect the triple-layer coating. Avoid empty preheating on high heat, and let the pan cool before running water on it. With a little care, your Circulon frying pan will keep releasing food beautifully for years.

Circulon didn't just make a thicker nonstick coating—they redesigned how the coating works. ScratchDefense™ uses a triple-layer surface structure that's infused with reinforced materials, making it exceptionally resistant to scratches, sticking, and flaking. The result is a pan that lasts longer than traditional nonstick cookware, even with daily use.
This 12-inch frying pan is big enough for a one-pan dinner: sear chicken, sauté vegetables, and finish with a pan sauce. And because it's oven safe, you can take the whole pan from stovetop to oven without a second dish.
This often happens because the pan has been overheated, cleaned with harsh scrubbers, or used with aerosol cooking sprays that leave residue. To keep the nonstick surface working, use medium heat, add oil before food, and hand wash with a soft sponge.
Minor surface scratches are usually cosmetic and safe. If the nonstick coating starts to flake or peel into your food, it's time to replace the pan. ScratchDefense™ is designed to resist scratches from metal utensils, but no nonstick pan is completely indestructible.
Clean the pan thoroughly, dry it, and apply a very thin layer of cooking oil. Heat gently for about one minute, then wipe out the excess. This can help refresh the nonstick surface. Avoid overheating in the future.
Yes, it is oven safe up to 400°F (204°C), so you can use it to finish dishes in the oven. The stainless steel handle is oven safe at that temperature, but always use a mitt when handling.
Yes, this coating is designed to be metal utensil safe. For the longest life, you can still choose silicone or wooden utensils, but metal spatulas and spoons won't damage the surface in normal use.
Huge pan!
The pan is big enough for the whole family. The nonstick works well.
I've used many 12-inch pans, but this one is the best. It's lightweight for its size and the heat distribution is even. The nonstick coating is durable. It hasn't scratched despite my metal spatula. Cleanup takes seconds.
Great for making paella. It's big and nonstick.
This pan has become my go-to for stir-fries and searing. It heats quickly and evenly. The scratch-resistant coating lives up to the claim. The handle is comfortable and stays cool. The only flaw is that it's too big for my small dishwasher.
Good pan.
I've cooked everything from eggs to steaks in it. No sticking.
The pan is very good, but it's a bit heavy for me to clean. The nonstick coating is impressive. It's a solid buy.
Excellent quality.
The pan arrived with a small scratch on the coating. Seller refunded, but still annoying.
I use this pan almost every night. The nonstick surface is flawless. I've cooked acidic foods without issue. The pan is well-balanced. It's a bit heavy, but that's a sign of quality. I recommend it.
It's a big pan that works on my induction. Heats even.
