Meyer Corporation has introduced the Circulon A1 Series with ScratchDefense Technology, a cookware collection the company deems is the world’s first “extreme nonstick” collection.
The Circulon A1 Series with ScratchDefense Technology is crafted from aluminum construction and core for fast, all-over heat distribution, and the nonstick is applied with three layers for durability. The collection is dishwasher-safe, compatible with all cooktops, oven safe up to 400° F and has a thick edge-to-edge magnetic stainless steel base to help retain heat and prevent warping, reported Meyer. The handles are made from stainless steel and heat-resistant silicone for a comfortable, ergonomic grip. The tempered glass lids allow consumers to monitor the cooking process without letting steam and flavors escape, according to Circulon.
The collection was designed to be Circulon’s most advanced collection yet with nonstick durability to eliminate scratching, sticking and flaking, according to Meyer. Based on rigorous, industry-standardized laboratory testing, which simulated 200+ years of daily wear and tear, the ScratchDefense Technology withstands more than 350,000 lab-conducted heavy metal scrapes of the nonstick cooking surface with scratches, which is 130 times longer than the competition, according to the company.
