Cuisinart Open 12 Inch Stainless Steel Skillet  Product Reviews

"We just purchased the set and this one by itself. The set did not have this particular pan included and I really wanted a larger pan. I was going to get a non-stick set but the more I researched cookware the more I thought that I would try out the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro series. I was so happy with the set that I started purchasing the rest of the pans that I needed of the same type. Great even cooking, and the pans heat up quickly and evenly. Follow the directions on using this type of pan and you can't go wrong. They are very strong because of the stainless steel and yet carry a good even heat due to the aluminum inside all the way through the pan! The handles also stay very cool, my wife and I love them!"

"I had been using non-stick pans from Martha Stewart's K-mart line that were 10 years old, they lasted a long time. When I needed to replace them I decided to research the materials available; the Multi-Clad with the tri-plad stainless steel, aluminum, stainless steel material was the best choice for me. I love to cook. The pan is amazing! The aluminum heats so quickly and evenly. This pan can be moved from stove top to oven, even the broiler! (Up to 500 degrees.) If you can't afford the expensive All-Clad, which I read over and over to be the best on the market, this is a very nice alternative for the price. I bought the 12 piece set as well as some of the open stock pans, they're all amazing."

"Cooks wonderfully! Foods brown uniformly (instead of brown towards the center and 'raw' nearer the edge). And the bottom is truly FLAT, which means liquids do not pool. Consequently, foods cook uniformly and require less re-arranging. Finally we love the handles. The long one stays cool and the short one opposite makes it easy to pour out liquids. Wonderful product!"

"After reading about the possible health risks associated with Teflon, we carefully went shopping for stainless steel. While I agree that a lid would have been lovely, I must say this is a great pan - even heat disbursement with a good sturdy feel to it. We have used it for everything - grilled sandwiches, breakfast meats, searing, sauteing and just last night made a huge batch of homemade chili. Clean up is a snap! We love this pan! Just purchased one for my daughter. "
