Great pans for the price, (What's this?)
Terrific pan, (What's this?) I have used several times by now and it's a pleasure to cook in. Medium heat for just 30 Seconds then add butter or oil and start sauté in a few seconds. Beautifully done food and excellent heat distribution. Bar keepers friend for cleaning gives it back the rich luster and shine.
LOVE this Pan!, (What's this?) I needed some new pans to add some capacity to my kitchen. We can't have Teflon due to the risk to our birds, and I dearly miss it. I have not had good luck with Stainless in the past, but aside from cast-iron which is not always practical, I had no choice.
When I was looking for a new pan, I found that there are two basic types to choose from: The ones with the thick conductive disk on the bottom, and the ones like this pan, that have a much thinner conductive layer, but that goes all the way up the sides (referred to as 'clad' as in multiclad). I already have the type with the thick disk, and because I cook with gas the sides are always way hotter than the bottom, as the flame licks up the sides and heats the relatively thin sides much quicker/hotter causing burning issues. Some will say that the thick bottom traps heat better and is good for searing steaks... But that's what my my grill is for, I wanted a pan as a daily driver so a clad stainless pan was my choice.
As for this specific pan, one question mark I've seen raised here is the handle is too small for some... And I actually happen to have the 12" Cuisinart (thick disk bottom style tho) with the same handle and have this to say: A totally crap handle to use on the 12" size, but completely fine for the 10" and 8". **SPOILER ALERT** Yes, I liked the 10" version of this pan so much, I bought the 8", and pretty much all my comments stand for both (but not the 12").
Doesn't do well with high heat, (What's this?) To effectively use stainless, it has to be heated thoroughly. Although this is a beautiful pan, the first time i heated it to fry an egg the bottom was warped after it cooled. This negates it's effectiveness on an induction heater somewhat as one needs a pretty flat bottom. Most skillets are subject to higher heat than say a 6 quart pot. I cooked another egg to see of it would go back to it's original flatness. No luck. This is unfortunate as it really is quite a beautiful pan. Back it goes. Thanks, though amazon.
Versatile Pan Completes Set, (What's this?) I added this 12 inch frying pan, with assist handle, to our stainless steel set. Our set came with an 8 inch and a 10 inch pan that left a void in the set. This pan is of the same quality as all the rest and an exceptional value. My price with promotional discounts, And Amazon Credit card points was only $49.
This set is the three layer design that allows for even heating on the bottom as well as the sides. The quality is equal to All Clad for a fraction of the price.
Great Skillet, (What's this?) After years of using "non-stick" type fry pans we decided to give the Multiclad Stainless a try. I spoke with friends regarding use of this type vs non-stick and the only thing we had to remember is to get the pan hot before adding any oil. This little hint works great and makes clean-up easy. We use this on an electric flat-top stove. The helper "loop" opposite the handle is very handy for getting a full and hot pan off the stove safely. We also noted that the pan heats very evenly even though is somewhat larger than the largest burner.
Really love Multiclad, (What's this?) I reviewed the complete 10 piece set. I love these pans. This one is a nice addition to the set I already have. It's exactly what I expected, same quality, great size, and solid design.
Description says there is a cover that seals, (What's this?) This is a nice pan. I would prefer an All Clad one, but at least this is affordable. There is no lid.
Read the pamphlet that comes with the pan, (What's this?) Excellent quality at a reasonable price. This is a heavy pan, so the handle is a great help. In reference to the title of my review, definitely read the pamphlet about the use and care of the pan. I was chugging along cooking on a high heat, wondering why food was sticking and the pan turning black. Here's what I learned - because this is professional grade cookware, it conducts heat efficiently and works best at a medium setting. Since I made that adjustment, I've had no problems. I'm especially happy to be rid of my nonstick pans. When I think of the chemicals I've put into myself and my family, I'm really remorseful. As Maya Angelou says, "When you know better, you do better." And you can't do much better than Cuisinart, especially considering the value for the money.
