Meyer Corporation, U.S. – the inventors of hard anodized nonstick cookware – have just introduced Circulon A1 Series with ScratchDefense Technology, the world’s first “extreme nonstick” collection. For guys who like to cook the biggest pain  point with nonstick cookware is how they easily get damaged or scratched. This collection solves the problem since it features nonstick durability to eliminate  scratching, sticking, and flaking.

Engineered with groundbreaking technology that applies durable  aerospace-grade materials to create a thicker and harder surface than ordinary  nonstick, Circulon A1 Series with ScratchDefense Technology frees cooks from ever having to worry about the longevity or performance of their nonstick cookware.  Based on rigorous, industry-standardized laboratory testing, which simulated 200+  years of daily wear and tear, this new technology withstands more  than 350,000 lab-conducted heavy metal scrapes of the nonstick cooking surface  without scratches, lasting more than 130 times longer than the competition.  

This Circulon A1 Series is crafted with aluminum construction and core for fast, all-over heat distribution. The collection’s signature ScratchDefense Technology nonstick is applied with three layers to provide the ultimate in durability, versatility,  and convenience. The new dishwasher-safe collection features a thick edge-to-edge magnetic stainless steel base that helps retain heat, prevent warping, and ensures  compatibility with all cooktops, including induction.

Styled in a neutral and timeless graphite hue, the new collection features an  easy-to-clean, stain-resistant nonstick exterior and ergonomically designed handles, combining sturdy stainless steel and heat-resistant silicone for a comfortable and  secure grip. Tempered glass lids reinforced with strong metal rims allow cooks to  monitor the cooking process without letting steam and flavors escape, and within the  cookware set, the two cleverly designed saucepans have pouring spouts and straining  lids for perfect pouring of liquids without messy drips. It is oven safe to 400° F.
