Cuisinart 5.5 Quart Stainless Steel Covered Saute Pan  Product Reviews

"the "sale price" of seventy nine beans is pure bunk. so is the list of one fifty! go to cuisinart site and you will see the list on this is seventy nine! one cant even find anyone selling it for one fifty. it is seventy nine everywhere! BE very careful about these sale prices on cookware, cutlery etc. amazon is apparently picking up macy's fake list prices nowadays. check the makers' sites to learn if the state list price is correct. inflating list prices by 50% and then stating fifty percent off is really not cool. it is a good pan. price description is PURE BUNK."

"As an addition to our newly renovated kitchen we purchased a set of Cusinart Multiclad Pro Stainless. The addition of the 5 1/2 quart saute pan has already been put to the test with the sauteing of five pounds of onions. The large surface area and the heavy bottom produced an excellent result with even cooking and no burning. We could have spent much more but I doubt we would have achieved any better result. The rest of the set also performs well."

"Decent pan I suppose for the money. If you can live without this size, you can do much better price-wise on a set. This pan looks nice, cooks nice, cleans up nice. But as the previous poster states, it's made in China, and you can tell the difference. The older version of this pan had a solid bottom which must have been 1/2" thick. That was a serious, quality piece of cookware!"

"I must say that i am thoroughly pleased with this saute pan - great heat transfer and it is easily cleaned. Even if you leave it till the next morning, a short soak in water will release all of the remains on the surface. Good fond development, deglazes easily, making sauces is a snap. looking to get the 3qt version someday for samller tasks. After spending thousands of dollars over the years on calphalon products, I am now a cuisinart man. Too bad everyone except all-clad manufactures in china. really a shame. if you dont have the scarole for all-clad, this is a very good buy."
