Merlot Bakeware – A Valentine’s Day Gift with a Culinary Twist

We received a sample of the Circulon Merlot Bakeware.  Any opinions stated are our own.  No monetary compensation was provided.

Have a Sweetie that loves being in the kitchen?  Then you can energize their culinary endeavors with Circulon non-stick Merlot bakeware.  The dash of bold color will have everyone oohing and aahing, before they even taste what’s inside the pans! These Merlot pans give a rich feel to everyday baking.

The Circulon non-stick bakeware is not only stylish it will stand up to everyday use over time.  Heavy-duty steel construction offers uniform heat distribution, and the pans’ warp-resistant rolled edges provide extra strength.  I noticed it right away the first time I used the sheet pan.  Frozen food did not cause the pan to buckle in the oven like my other pans do.  The bakeware is oven safe to 450°F; with wide handles to provide a generous, confident grip.

The TOTAL Food Release System features metal-utensil-safe premium nonstick on raised circles for superior baking release and effortless cleanup.  I tested this particular feature out for the last couple of weeks.  A lot. With no oiling, butter, or any other kind of spray release coating.  Our fries (which were heavily covered in ice), came off the cookie pan with no problem (and were baked to crispy perfection).  Oozing cheese from Chicken Cordon Bleu lifted right off.   

This no bake Double Chocolate Cheesecake has a crushed chocolate wafer crust.  I made it in the 9×13 cake pan. 

Those squares of tasty chocolate cheesecake came out with no problems, even without greasing the pan first.  This was what was left after a dinner party!  

Clean up with Circulon bakeware is a breeze.  While you can put them in the dishwasher, I have been hand washing them.  With the TOTAL Food Release System you really aren’t needing to “scrub” anything though, so it’s quick and simple to get the pans clean. 

Let me do a little bit of “Shop Talk” here.  The Circulon Non-Stick 5-Piece Bakeware Set in Merlot includes Two 9-Inch Round Cake Pans, 9-Inch x 5-Inch Loaf Pan, 9-Inch x 13-Inch Rectangular Cake Pan, 10-Inch x 15-Inch Cookie Pan.  It retails for $70, but you can get it at PotsandPans.com for $39.99.  That’s about $8 a pan, and that is so worth the quality of what you are getting.  And with a Hassle-Free Lifetime Guarantee, the set truly delivers for the well-rounded life.

This isn’t my first rodeo with Circulon products.  I have a set of Circulon Cookware that has been used several times a day for the last three years, and despite the abuse it gets in our kitchen, it still looks and performs flawlessly for us.  I have a bronze finish on mine, but now I want a whole other set in Merlot!

So in addition to the Merlot you get in a bottle, pick up a set of this Circulon Non-Stick Bakeware in Merlot for the chef in your life.  Who knows you may even get your favorite cake made with them first!
