Some years ago I developed the philosophy that in order to do excellent work one needs excellent tools. I love to cook, and only use the use the best knives, cutting boards, pots and pans. So when I had the opportunity to try the BE Living Circlad series of pans, I was intrigued.
The first thing that I noted as I was unboxing the pans was the weight. Not too heavy to easily manage and lift, but heavy enough to feel like I’m dealing with something substantial. There are two pans in the set, a10” and a 12”, which are two of my favorite sizes for cooking dishes. There are numerous concentric circles inside both pans, I assume for heat conduction. The handles are solid, fit comfortably in my palm, and are securely riveted to the body of the pan. The set is described as compatible with gas flame, electric and induction stoves. As I only have gas in my house, I can only review its effectiveness with that.
The instructions are simple- wash I warm soapy water, dry thoroughly. I heated it up over a medium to low flame, added a high smoke point oil and went to town.
I was thoroughly impressed. My onions sautéed evenly, my chicken pieces browned quickly with a delicious crust. The food came out perfect, with a finish that felt both professional and effortless.
Clean up was a breeze as well. I let the pan cool off then washed it in warm, soapy water again. Every last bit of food washed off in seconds. I dried the pan, put it away but now it’s part of my regular rotation.
Instructions are to use wooden or silicone spoons and spatulas, as metal can scratch the finish. Heat the pan slowly, let it cool before washing. All very basic cookware instructions. I can see that if I will treat this pan well, it will return the favor, and I expect to have years of use ahead of me.
At the current price of $189 for the two pans, this is not an inexpensive purchase, rather an investment in a top notch kitchen. I do believe they’re worth every penny, and I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

I'm extremely happy with this set of pans. They nestle together nicely for storage which is handy, but the important details are how nice the quality is and how evenly they cook food. The rivets that hold the handles on are strong and well seated. The bottoms are nice and flat and heat evenly. But the interior is my favorite part. The pattern seems to also help to distribute the heat evenly. I'm not an expert on cookware, but I can see the results.

Really happy with this fry pan set so far! The pans heat evenly and cook food well without sticking, which makes cleanup super easy. I also like that they’re PFAS-free, which gives a little extra peace of mind while cooking for my family. The different sizes are perfect for everyday cooking, and they feel sturdy without being overly heavy. Great set for anyone wanting reliable nonstick pans that are easy to use and clean.

Very nice set of two frying pans with the Circlad coating for a non stick pan. There is a10”and a 12”, which are two of my favorite sizes for cooking dishes. These are heavy duty pans and have a very nice finish to prevent scratching. They are compatible with gas flame, electric and induction stoves. I have gas and they work perfectly. They are a nice addition to my current pans that are similar. Durable and well made these should last a while. These are definitely an investment at the price point rather than a standard frying pan and you do only get two but you get what you pay for.

I was so surprised when I received these skillets; they look and feel very expensive.These skillets heat evenly on top of the stove and the handle stays cool.
The cooking surface is textured, not smooth, yet totally non-stick. It is NOT Teflon, so there will be no Teflon flakes in my food! I sauteed some onions, fried some ground beef, and just a touch of tomato sauce and the ingredients slid right out of the pan, no scraping needed.These pans are very heavy. It takes me two hands to hold it up to pour the ingredients out, but since it slides out so easily, that's not a bad thing. Next, I put the cabbage rolls in the skillet in the oven (350⁰F, 30 minutes). Obviously, the handle is hot and I used a pot holder to remove the pan from the oven. I am in love with these skillets. They are costly and worth every penny. Huge difference between good cookware and the cheap stuff from the big box store.

I’ve started paying more attention to reducing my exposure to chemicals and micro plastics, especially when cooking. These frying pans provide easy care nonstick cooking without the chemical exposure. You get from other brands. You do have to seize the pans before you use them for the first time, but after that, they are breeze to cook with and clean up. I love that they have the induction feature and they’re also really attractive to display on a pot rack. The contoured handles are very comfortable, and the pans themselves are not too heavy but do a great job distributing the heat evenly. I’d like to find a set of pots and lids that complement these frying pans.

The BE Living Circlad fry pan set has a really premium feel to it. The ceramic nonstick surface works great — eggs, pancakes, and sautéed vegetables slide right off with very little oil, and the pans heat evenly without hot spots. I also noticed the even heatdistribution helps food cook more consistently, especially on larger burners.Another big plus is how easy these pans are to clean. Most of the time, a quick rinse and wipe is all it takes, which makes cooking a lot less of a chore. The pans also feel sturdy
and well-made, and it’s nice that they’re PFAS-free and induction compatible.
The only downside for me is the price. They are definitely more expensive than many
other nonstick pans on the market. But if you want high-quality ceramic cookware that
performs well and is easy to maintain, this set feels worth considering.

I was in serious need for some new skillets! And these arrived today! These are niceeeeeee! There are two of these very high end cookware skillets. These are clearly elite with an almost $200 price tag. These will be my first expensive skillets! I feel fancy now!!

I am so impressed with the quality of these pans. They are durable stainless steel and have a unique ring-based nonstick finish. The rings are textured and contribute to the nonstick effect. I love that there are no PFAS, etc. The pans are easy to care for. They come with a manual, but all I did was wash them and start cooking in them. They wash up so easily. Even when cooking sticky foods such as rice or eggs, the food lifts right out and the pans wash clean effortlessly. The handles stay cool, as long as I don’t grip them at the base. These are the most durable nonstick pans I’ve ever used.

I got away from teflon/nonstick like 15+ years ago, and have mostly been cooking in stainless steel and cast iron. I'm good at it, but it does take effort. I wanted something more effortless so I got a couple things from hexclad. They DO work well but... thankfully i never bought a full hexclad set - they advertised themselves as PFAS free and then we found out they do use a forever chemical in their coating. Not cool, hexclad.

These Circlad pans have a similar idea - a stainless grid/matrix over a very nonstick surface. But these do NOT have any forever chemicals in the coating. Their nonstick coating is ceramic which is so delightfully slippery I cannot even tell you! I recently got a couple of other ceramic pots and looooooove them so much.

You will LOVE cooking on this. But even with the protective "circlad" matrix over the ceramic, you'll want to know some things:
*Never use pam/cooking spray on these. the aerosol stuff will grip to the ceramic and ruin the nonstick factor. Use regular oil/butter.
*Use low to medium heat - these pans conduct heat really well and you will not need high heat. High heat can cause imperceptible damage to the ceramic too and make them not last as long.
*Because of how ceramic works, the nonstick factor will not last forever. these will not be heirloom pans. They will likely last 2, maybe 3-4 years (the 3-4 is because of the protective circlad matrix) before they start sticking. At this price point, I wish these could buy "buy once" quality, but they will need to be replaced periodically.

Been testing these pans for few days are they are perfect. Nonstick of your breakfast. Very easy to clean and dry. PFAS-, PFOA-, and PTFE-free. If avoiding traditional fluoropolymer nonstick coatings is important to you, this is a positive feature. The manufacturer explicitly states the cookware contains none of these substances. Induction compatible.The pans are designed for induction as well as gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. Stainless-steel construction Stainless steel generally offers better durability and scratch resistance than ceramic nonstick coatings. The "Circlad" interior pattern appears intended to improve food release while retaining stainless-steel durability. A 10-inch (26 cm) and 12-inch (30 cm) combination covers most household cooking needs.

I had never heard of this brand of cookware before. I was particularly interested in the
non stick claims because it seems like every nonstick I get lately makes big claims but
fails to deliver.
First impressions are that this is a very solidly built set. The handles are comfortable and
substantial. The nonstick coating feels thick and seems like it will resist scratching. I like
that the texture on the surface isn't deep. I have a different brand that has deep texture
that I can't clean properly. The texture helps with the nonstick but still allows for easy
cleaning.
I have only used these a handful of times, but I really like them so far. I think it's
important to read the directions and season the pan before use. Also try to avoid using
metal utensils. High heat shouldn't be used all the time either, only for
searing/browning.
The only negative so far is the price. It's a little steep (at time of review about $180, but
there's a 25% coupon, so they're around $142). But for quality cookware it's actually not
that bad.

These are the nicest pans I've ever used. Typically I use good stainless steel pots and pans, cast iron skillet, and enameled dutch oven. I have one enameled nonstick pan for eggs/omelets and one nonstick tamagoyaki pan, but generally I don't bother with nonstick products.

These have already changed the way we cook.

First off, these pans are extremely heavy. That's a consideration if you have concerns. That heavy construction also means excellent heat retention; we quickly found that we could use lower temp settings.

The handles do indeed stay comfortably cool to the touch while being used on the stovetop. Obviously you need hand protection for oven use.

I wasn't sure how the textured circular surface would be nonstick but I think maybe your oil of choice kind of fills the voids? I don't know, but whatever the trick is, it works.
Excellent nonstick-ness. We use bamboo cooking utensils and would not use metal on these pans. As with all pans, wait for them to cool before washing them. They handwash well; I'm avoiding putting them in the dishwasher even though they're dishwasher safe.

My husband used the large one to cook a pound roll of sausage sliced into patties. He came into my office with this look on his face, he looked both betrayed and like he was doing the betraying. He said, "That new pan does sausage better than the cast iron."

That about says it all. Reverse-searing steak (slow and low in the oven, finishing sear on stovetop) worked beautifully and again, better than our trusty cast iron. Browning meat, excellent. Roasting vegetables, lovely. I haven't tried fish yet because my fish flipper is metal.

Edited to add: husband cooked his lunch using the new pan and, with some sadness, reports that "the cast iron might just be a cornbread only pan now."

Expensive, yes, but very much worth the money. I'm going to buy more pieces from this brand.

These pans had me at the first egg! The nonstick surface performs beautifully, and the cleanup is ridiculously easy. Everything cooks evenly! As someone who spends a lot of time in the kitchen, I notice when cookware makes life easier, and these absolutely do. They've knocked my current pans back to the bottom of the pecking order. I also appreciate the PFAS-free construction and solid feel. They're comfortable to use, heat up nicely, and have quickly earned permanent real estate on my stovetop. 100% enthusiastically recommend!

This two piece Circlad Series fry pan set feels sturdy with a smooth PFAS free nonstick surface that releases food easily and wipes clean with minimal effort and both pans heat evenly without hotspots whether on gas electric or induction and the handles stay comfortable to hold without getting too warm and the ten and twelve inch sizes cover most daily cooking needs from eggs to searing and the pans have a good weight that feels durable without being heavy, overall this is a reliable well made set that cooks evenly and cleans quickly for everyday use.

I've been using this two-piece nonstick fry pan set for a couple of weeks now, and overall I'm very happy with it. The pans feel sturdy and well made without being overly heavy, which makes them comfortable to use. So far, the nonstick surface has performed great, and cleanup has been quick and easy. I do wish the set had included lids, but luckily I had some at home that fit, so it wasn't a big issue. I also think the current price of around $190 is very reasonable for the quality
you're getting. My only real complaint is that the instruction booklet recommends seasoning the pans after every use. I don't mind hand-washing them, and I seasoned them before the first use, and will season them on occasion, but I'm not going to season them every time I cook. I wish that recommendation had been mentioned in the product listing. Other than that, I really like these pans. They cook well, clean easily, and feel like a quality set. Time will tell how they hold up, but so far I'm very pleased with this purchase.

A dependable set for everyday use.

Well made.
