Congratulations on your new Circulon Infinity Pan.
One pan. Endless possibilities.
Designed to do more than your average frying pan, the Infinity Pan gives you the flexibility to fry, sauté, sear, boil, steam, strain, bake and more – all in one hardworking piece of cookware.
With its extra-deep design, generous capacity and ScratchDefense™ Extreme Non-Stick surface, it’s made to take on everything from quick midweek meals to larger one-pan recipes.
And while your Infinity Pan is built for fearless everyday cooking, a little care will help keep it looking and performing at its best for years to come.
Here’s everything you need to know.
Before you cook for the first time
Before using your Infinity Pan for the first time, wash it in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
There’s no complicated preparation or seasoning required.
Once it’s clean and dry, you’re ready to start cooking.
One pan. So many possibilities.
Your Infinity Pan is designed to be one of the most versatile pieces of cookware in your kitchen.
Its extra-deep walls and generous capacity make it ideal for much more than everyday frying.
Use it for:
- Frying and sautéing
- Searing meat and vegetables
- One-pan meals
- Pasta dishes
- Curries and sauces
- Steaming
- Boiling
- Straining
- Baking
- Batch cooking
The deep design gives you more room to cook, stir and combine ingredients without worrying about spills or overcrowding.
Suitable for every hob – including induction
The Infinity Pan is suitable for all hob types, including:
- Induction
- Gas
- Electric
- Ceramic
Its impact-bonded stainless steel base is designed to deliver excellent heat distribution and durability.
A tip for induction cooking
For the best results, choose a hob ring that is closest in size to the base of your pan.
This helps ensure efficient and even heating.
You don’t need maximum heat
One of the easiest ways to get the best performance from non-stick cookware is to use the right temperature.
The Infinity Pan heats efficiently, so for most everyday cooking, medium or medium-high heat is all you need.
For best results:
- Use low to medium heat for delicate foods such as eggs, pancakes and fish.
- Use medium to medium-high heat for frying, sautéing and browning.
- Avoid leaving an empty pan heating for extended periods.
- Only use high heat when your recipe genuinely requires it.
Using unnecessarily high temperatures can cause food to burn and make cleaning more difficult.
Let the pan do the work.
How much oil do I need?
Thanks to ScratchDefense™ Extreme Non-Stick, you can cook with little or no oil, depending on your recipe.
You can still use oil or butter to add flavour and encourage browning, but you don’t need large amounts to prevent food from sticking.
A small amount is often all that’s needed.
Yes, you can use metal utensils
Go ahead – your favourite metal spatula, spoon or whisk can all be part of everyday cooking.
The Infinity Pan features ScratchDefense™ Extreme Non-Stick, a highly durable cooking surface designed to be metal-utensil safe.
Of course, even tough cookware benefits from sensible use.
To help keep your pan looking its best:
- Avoid cutting food directly inside the pan with sharp knives.
- Avoid using excessive force with utensils.
- Use utensils as intended rather than aggressively scraping the surface.
Wooden and silicone utensils are also perfectly suitable.
Making the most of the straining lid
Your Infinity Pan comes with a clever dual-function straining lid designed to make draining easier.
When cooking foods such as pasta or vegetables, the lid can help you strain away water without needing a separate colander.
The pan also features dual pour spouts and flared rims to help make pouring and draining cleaner and easier.
Take care when draining
Always be cautious when handling hot liquids.
Use oven gloves or a dry cloth if necessary, keep a secure grip on both the pan and lid, and pour slowly away from your body.
Hot steam can escape when draining, so take extra care when removing or adjusting the lid.
Take your cooking from hob to oven
The Infinity Pan is oven safe up to 260°C, giving you even more flexibility in the kitchen.
Start a dish on the hob and finish it in the oven – perfect for:
- Frittatas
- One-pan bakes
- Roasted vegetables
- Baked pasta dishes
- Finishing meat or fish
- Braised recipes
Remember the lid has a different temperature limit
The Infinity Pan itself is oven safe up to 260°C.
The lid is oven safe up to 180°C.
Always check that you’re using the correct part of the cookware within its recommended temperature limit.
And remember: handles and lids can become hot in the oven, so always use oven gloves or a dry cloth when handling them.
Easy cleaning – by hand or in the dishwasher
The Infinity Pan is dishwasher safe, making everyday clean-up even easier.
Its stain-resistant exterior and ScratchDefense™ non-stick surface are designed to make cleaning simple.
For many meals, food residue can be removed with a quick rinse or gentle wash.
For everyday hand washing
- Allow the pan to cool before washing.
- Wash with warm, soapy water.
- Use a soft sponge or cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Dry before storing.
Can I wash the pan while it’s still hot?
It’s best to allow your Infinity Pan to cool before washing.
Avoid placing a hot pan directly under cold water, as sudden temperature changes can place unnecessary stress on cookware.
Once the pan has cooled, wash as normal.
What if food residue is stuck to the pan?
For stubborn food residue, don’t reach straight for harsh abrasives.
Instead:
- Fill the pan with warm, soapy water.
- Allow it to soak for a short time.
- Gently loosen any remaining food with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cleaning tool.
A little soaking is usually more effective than aggressive scrubbing.
Avoid harsh scouring pads and abrasive cleaning products where possible.
Is the Infinity Pan dishwasher safe?
Yes.
The Infinity Pan is designed to be dishwasher safe for convenient everyday cleaning.
If you prefer to hand wash it, that’s absolutely fine too.
Whichever method you choose, make sure the pan is thoroughly dry before storing.
Caring for your lid
Allow the lid to cool before washing and avoid sudden temperature changes.
Always take care when lifting the lid during cooking, as hot steam can escape.
The straining lid is designed to make everyday cooking easier, but always make sure it is securely positioned before draining hot liquids.
Don’t forget your accessory stand
Your Infinity Pan comes with a multi-purpose accessory stand.
Use it to keep your:
- Lid close at hand while cooking
- Utensils off the worktop
- Recipe or cooking instructions within easy view
Keeping your lid safely supported while cooking can also help reduce mess and protect your worktop.
How should I store my Infinity Pan?
Before storing, make sure your pan is clean and completely dry.
If you’re stacking cookware, avoid placing heavy or sharp objects directly onto the non-stick surface.
For extra protection, place a soft cloth, pan protector or piece of kitchen towel between stacked cookware.
A few simple things to avoid
Your Infinity Pan is designed for exceptional everyday durability, but following these simple tips will help you get the very best from it:
- Don’t use excessively high heat unnecessarily.
- Don’t leave an empty pan heating for extended periods.
- Don’t plunge hot cookware into cold water.
- Don’t cut food directly inside the pan with sharp knives.
- Don’t use harsh or highly abrasive cleaning products.
- Don’t drag the pan across glass or ceramic hob surfaces.
- Don’t exceed the oven-safe temperature limits.
- Don’t use the lid above its maximum oven-safe temperature.
