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

Great buy! - T.K., Mar 27, 2008

Bought this as a gift for someone needing a nonstick 12" skillet. The recipient absolutely loves cooking with it. He says it is an excellent pan and uses it all the time.

Slick - D. PENCE, Mar 15, 2008

It's kind of hard to get passionate about a nonstick frying pan. This one is well put-together, the nonstick surface is just that, and it cleans very easily. Top flight.

Useful skillet - B. Blanchard, Feb 29, 2008

I'm enjoying my Cuisinart 12" skillet. I especially like the large wide bottom which gives me more cooking space. The only thing I wish is that it came with a glass lid. Just so happens that the skillet that this one replaced had a glass lid that fits perfectly. I like the fact that it's not as heavy as some skillets because I have difficulty picking up heavy pots full of food.

Fine quality pan - D. Hess, Jan 20, 2008

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 12 in. pan is a bargain. It's quality is on par with our All Clad pans without the round bottom of the All-Clads which are miserable to use on a flat top range although if you can afford to buy All Clad you probably have a pricey gas range. If the non stick surface holds up under use it will be an extra bargain. If not we will pitch it buy another and still have a fine pan at half the All Clad price. Even tho the pan is aluminum it is not light weight and the helper handle is appreciated.
Bought the pan on recommendation of Cooks' Illustrated and was not disappointed but only wish the smaller 10 in. Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized pan was available at a bargain price on Amazon like the 12 in. pan.

don't go overboard on all-clad... this is just as good - Steven J. Boulware, Jan 18, 2008

If All-Clad is 5 star, then this is 4 1/2... at about half the cost. Unless you need the name brand hanging in your kitchen, try this out first. Having worked in a professional kitchen with the real deal, it's tough to tell the Cusi from the gold standard. Great pans, just need to find how to get the covers. Try the stainless 12-inch too to make a set of great, cheap pans.
