I haven't used Circulon since I experienced issues with the grooves in the pans getting gummed up after a short period of time. Also, given their nonstick surface, they didn't allow high heat cooking such as searing or broiling in the oven. I still have a couple Calphalon pieces, including a 13" paella pan that is one of my favorites. However, I regularly had issues with the pan bottoms becoming convex after a short period of time.
