Discount Circulon 80486 10-1/2-Inch/4-Quart Covered Tapered Sauteuse

Customer Ratings:

I bought this sauteuse as part of this amazong deal from Amazon where I got a 14-piece circulon 2 set + a circulon 2 griddle + this sauteuse + a dutch oven for just $200. So I am very happy with the price. I used this piece yesterday and though I like this just like I like all my other circulon cookware, it has some issues. I really love Circulon 2 compared to Circulon Elite though because of its steel lids and high quality plastic handles, so I dont have to worry about breaking the lids accidentally.

Here are the pros and cons of this piece.

Pros:

-It is not as heavy as I thought it would be. So easy to handle (weight wise).

-Food does not stick to the bottom. Love that

-Food cooks well and evenly.

-Easy to clean

Cons:

-The handles for the sauteuse are made out of steel instead of high quality plastic like the other Circulon 2 pieces I have. These handles get hot after a while. It is cool enough that you will not burn yourself if you accidentaly touch it but hot enough that you cannot lift it and carry it around.

-The lid has the same problem. It had a steel handle and gets hot.

I would go for the Circulon 2 instead of the Circulon Elite. Much easier to handle.

I have a complete set of Circulon, but composed of the regular and Circulon 2, and Elite, with the soft silicon rubber handles. I much prefer the Circulon 2 or Elite for its non-stick sides, which makes it much easier to clean. Nothing ever sticks inside, so there isn't any scrubbing needed, just a normal dish rag or sponge, a bit of soap, and thats it!

I have had most of my pieces for well over two years, use them almost daily, and they are still looking like new. One must not ever use any non-stick on high heat. However, Medium-High is fine, and I use that setting for the grill pan 100% of the time.

Without any doubt, Circulon is the finest cookware I have ever owned!

I bought this pretty much as a chili pot, thinking my old 5½ qt Ultrex stock pot was getting just that old. Since I received it, I've used it almost every day. I've made my chili, soup, bronzed salmon, potato pancakes, sauteed veggies, and so much more in it. It cleans so easily, and is a pleasure to use. The only problem is that the handles get VERY hot. I've got to start remembering to use pot holders before I don't have any fingerprints left.

Honest reviews on Circulon 80486 10-1/2-Inch/4-Quart Covered Tapered Sauteuse

The first dish I made with this was a Italian Fish stew. sautéed onions garlic, shallots, no problem added white wine, tomatoes, clam broth and finally all the seafood. Beautiful, tasty, easy clean. I was satisfied with this pot. Then last night I made mac and cheese. I melted milk and cheese in the pot added cooked macaroni salt and pepper, and threw some more cheese on top for added crunch. Baked at 350. WOW nice crust, nice oohey gooey mac and cheese. From stove top to oven to the sink so easy.

I remember when dish duty was a chore and scrubbing pots, UGH! I remember Teflon that peeled and scratched Yuck! I dreamed of cookware like this when I was a kid and it was my turn to do the dishes. My dreams have come true!

I really am glad I ordered this particular baking ware pot. It can be used on the stove and in the oven. It is light weight, easy to clean and is just the right size for 2-4 people. I use it for everything frying, baking and sauces. Great value. I wish I had a complete set of these pots.
