Amazon.com Product Description
Polished to a mirror finish, this 1-1/2-quart Chef's Classic covered saucepan draws as much attention for its striking appearance as its cooking proficiency. Fortunately for home chefs, it handles both with equal aplomb. Use it to simmer sauces, braise, or reheat soup. The pan's 18/10 stainless-steel exteriors surround an aluminum core to ensure even heating on the pan's bottom and up the sides. Befitting a pan with polished surfaces, the stainless coating doesn't react with acidic foods that might otherwise stain the bottom. The saucepan also includes a stainless-steel looped handle that remains cool on the stovetop, in addition to a stainless lid that fits snugly inside the pan's tapered rims (for drip-free pouring). Cuisinart's Chef's Classic cookware is dishwasher-safe and oven-safe to 550 degrees F, and features a limited lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews

Excellent value and quality
This saucepan is the perfect complement to my Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Medium Dome Cover, when I am cooking a chicken or steak in the large pan (or my trusty 12" cast iron pan), I am usually making a sauce or boiling vegetables in this not-so-small saucepan. It is a truly versatile pan, I have used it to boil a few eggs, steam vegetables, melt chocolate, warm up left-over soup, make masala chai (it's easier than most people think and VERY tasty), or even bake a small cake in it! I can't possibly list them all, this is my second most used pan, a close second to my Lodge Logic 12" cast iron pan.

Don't be fooled by the price tag, this may be a cheap pan, but it is certainly not cheaply made. Handle is sturdy, and the lid fits tight, and it will stand up to 450 degrees of heat in the oven (from the manual, although I never pushed it to that extreme heat). It has a rather heavy bottom for heat retention, which is exactly what I want.

This is also a perfect pan for making a little one-person meal. I am a little embarrassed to admit, but I've made ramen noodles in this pan on some late nights.

Beginner or seasoned home cooks alike, I am sure you'll find this pan to be an excellent investment for your money.


Pros:
=====
- Well made
- Versatile (from sauce to dessert to tea making to a small lasagna)
- Well priced
- Can be nuked in the oven up to 450 degrees

Cons:
=====
- Stainless steel needs a little more care than non-stick cookware, and may colorize over time... but that's really just a general stainless steel cookware issue

Beautiful and durable
Works like a charm if taken care of properly. Great product I hope to have to cook dinner for my grandchildren 30 years from now!

No product!
I never did receive the pan. Macy's sent a number of automated responses to my inquiries. Finally, they agreed to resend it, but I still don't have either a pan or my credit.
