Discover cookware that blends strength with ease: the Circulon SteelShield range combines the resilience of stainless steel with a protected nonstick interior, creating a pan that cooks like steel, but cleans more like a nonstick one. One variant is a deep frying pan with a lid (24 cm, 3.3 L). 

Key Features & Benefits

• SteelShield hybrid nonstick interior
  Elevated stainless steel “peaks” guard the nonstick grooves, protecting them from scratches and flaking — letting you use metal utensils with confidence.
• Tri-ply stainless steel body
  A pure aluminium core is sandwiched between stainless steel layers to promote even heat distribution and reduce hot spots. 
• All-hob & induction compatibility
  Works on gas, ceramic, electric, and induction cooktops. 
• Oven & dishwasher safe
  Designed for oven use (up to about 260 °C / 500 °F) and safe in the dishwasher thanks to sealed rims. 
• Stay-cool handles & tempered glass lid
  Ergonomic, riveted handles that stay comfortable to grip, plus a lid you can see through while cooking. 
• Polished mirror finish & elegant design
  The stainless exterior creates a premium look that fits modern kitchens or open storage. 

Advantages & Potential Drawbacks

Advantages:

• Excellent heat control, with reliable performance across the cooking surface
• Nonstick convenience combined with scratch resistance
• Durable build suited for daily use
• Versatile design, usable in the oven and dishwasher
• Attractive, modern appearance

Potential drawbacks/considerations:

• The hybrid nonstick surface, though well protected, still benefits from care (avoid extreme temperature changes, strong abrasives)
• The glass lid without venting may require close attention during high-foam or boiling recipes
• A larger / deeper pan can be heavy when full
• Premium cost compared with standard nonstick or stainless pans

Usage & Care Tips

• Preheat gently before adding oil or ingredients to avoid thermal shock.
• Use a little oil or fat even with the nonstick interior for better flavour and to prolong the surface.
• Avoid plunging a hot pan into cold water.
• Clean with soft sponges or cloths; avoid harsh scouring pads that can wear the surface.
• If stacking cookware, use soft liners or pan protectors to prevent scratching the surfaces.
