Brand file
Every Circulon product we have scored, with the maker’s own words about materials and what those words leave out. Average across the range: 30.8 out of 100.
We have scored 4 Circulon products. They average 30.8 out of 100 on materials, and the spread between the best and worst is 17 points.
Of those 4: not one names the surface that touches food; 4 disclose a fluoropolymer coating outright; 3 state a country of manufacture; 3 have a materials claim backed by anything other than the maker’s own word.
