Circulon hard anodized cookware has high-low grooves that keep oils and grease away from your food during cooking. For this reason, it's essential that you clean your Circulon cookware after each use to prevent a buildup of food and grease in the low points of the grooves. Be sure to use non-abrasive cleaning agents to avoid damaging your cookware's non-stick finish.
Immerse the Circulon pan in warm soapy water. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to allow the warm water and soap to penetrate the food and grease that can settle within the pan's groves.
Using a scrub brush with soft nylon bristles (they should bend easily when you apply pressure with your finger), gently but firmly scrub the cooking surface of the pan. Use round strokes, following the grooves of the pan.
Wash the outside of the pan with a sponge or dish cloth to avoid scratching its shiny coating.
Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Cold water may not remove all of the soap or grease residue, so make the water as warm as possible.
Wipe your Circulon pots and pans dry with a dish towel immediately after washing. Droplets of water left to air-dry on the pan could affect its nonstick abilities.
If food has been sticking to your Circulon nonstick cookware during cooking, the most likely reason is that food or grease has become trapped in the grooves. To remedy this, mix one part white vinegar with three parts water, and boil this mixture in your pan for 10 minutes. Afterward, pour out the vinegar mixture and wash and dry your Circulon pan as usual, using mild soap and a soft nylon brush.
