Amazon.com Review
From eggs at breakfast to fish, chicken, or steak at dinnertime, this 10-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.

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

Nice pans, but lose nonstick fairly quickly
Initially I was quite happy with the pan. They are good quality and cook evenly. The non-stick surface worked well.

After about 6 months however the nonstick surface did not work very well any more. I wash them by hand, and only use plastic utensils to avoid scratching. I was disappointed by how quickly the nonstick surface was lost. I later looked on Consumer Reports, and found that they also say they have poor nonstick durability.

Best pan ever
I bought the 13 inch skillet after purchasing the quart sauce pan. Absolutely the best I have ever had. The instructions, yes, do read them, tell you to only cook on "medium" heat or lower. It works beautifully. Also, I have had no trouble with the finish scratching - you would really have to dig at the surface to do so. Not necessary, as everything slides right out onto your place or bowl. I would buy lids to match if they were offered. Otherwise, I have some older lids from discarded pans I use.

Great non stick skillet
First off I love the cuisinart cookware lines and also this pan. It only gets 4 stars because it cones without a lid. Now a lid would be used infrequently on this type of pan, but could come in useful from time to time.
This pan makes a great 3 egg omelet which slides right out when done. Also good to saute small quantities of veggies. I pan fried a boneless ribeye in butter in it the other night, then made a nice pan sauce while the steak rested. Great for many single serving dishes.
The pan heats quickly and evenly, so high heat is not needed on the stovetop. Although Cuisinart suggests metal utensils are OK, they should actually not be used in any non stick pan as aggressive use or slippage of the utensil could gouge the finish. Always use nylon and wood utensils. Wood spoons are cheap. I have been acquiring Cuisinart pans for about a year now. I have multiple non-stick ones and have no non stick coating damage on any of them with frequent use.
Overall, great pan, great price.
