Amazon.com Review
From eggs for a crowd at breakfast to fish, chicken, or steak at dinnertime, this roomy 12-inch open skillet is a great all-round performer. The advanced Quantanium nonstick coating is designed for healthy low-fat cooking, and titanium reinforcement makes it tough enough for use with metal utensils Even the most delicate foods can be cooked without sticking, and cleanup is quick and easy. An additional helper handle makes it easy to maneuver this large pan on the stovetop.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic cookware is constructed from durable 3mm hard-anodized aluminum, providing superb heat transfer without hot spots. The securely riveted stay-cool steel handles are oven-safe to 500 degrees F, so food can be browned on the stovetop then transferred to the oven to finish cooking. This pan should be hand-washed with a mild detergent, and it carries a limited lifetime warranty against defects. --Simon Leake

Customer Reviews

This is the pan I've been searching for....
I live in a fairly rural area and have been looking for just the perfect pan for my needs. It wasn't to be found. This is the perfect pan. It is heavy enough to seat on the stove top to keep the surface flat on the burner. The handle is more than adequate to support that weight plus whatever you are cooking. And the conductivity of the aluminum allows cooking at the recommended lower temperatures that is not only good for the cookware, but good for your health too. I highly recommend this pan. I will be looking for additional pans from Cuisinart to replace my other cookware.

very disappointed!
Upon recommendation from America's Test Kitchen, I purchased this pan. I am a good chef and know how to properly use a pan. Within a few uses this pan was scratched. I did not overheat the pan, nor did I use mental tongs to turn the meat. So, I am very disppointed with this pan. Also, for the record, I did not use excessive cleaners that would compromise the integrity of the pan. I do not recommend this pan at all.

Fantastic skillet
I have 2 of these skillets and need more. I travel and cook when I travel. This skillet goes with me in my luggage. I abuse this item and it keeps on being the best skillet I have ever owned. I have a skillet I paid 175.00 for and this little 31.00 (when I bought it) puts it to shame. It definitely needs a lid but the non-stick surface remains amazing after 4 years of use/abuse. My only complaint is the price increase since 5 of my family members have requested this item for their Christmas/birthday presents. GREAT skillet.
