Cuisinart 5.5-qt. Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard Anodized Saute Pan  Product Reviews

"I love this pan. It is great for cooking large amounts of food for a crowd. It is perfect for fried chicken and my husband loved it for making his spaghetti sauce."

"We purchased this to use on a glass top stove, and found that the pan was not flat. We assume that not all are bowed, but ours was."

"The non-stick surface is fine, but the pan is no better than what you can find at the supermarket: flimsy, light and therefore prone to hot spots. For $49 I guess I can live with the thing, because one does not use a non-stick pan for any serious cooking. If I had paid $149 I would return it in a heartbeat."

"I very thoroughly researched all the nonstick hard-anodized products out there and decided on Cuisinart because it had the most vesatile product selection. The 5-1/2 quart saute pan is the bomb!!! It heats faster, cooks faster, and clean-up is a breeze. The first time I used it, I cooked a stove-top dish I have cooked many times, but because the hard-anodized cooks faster and hotter, I neglected to turn the heat down to accommodate this and the whole meal was burned and I thought to myself, Oh, great! the first time you use the pan, you ruin it by burning the pan. Well I took it to the sink to pour out the remnants that were not burned and had anticipiated that I would have to soak and scrub the pan and when I tipped the pan the entire burned mess just slid out of the pan and it looked as if it had never been cooked in. What a pan!! I LOOOOOOVE this cookware. I bought every piece that Cuisinart offers in this line. BUY IT, YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!"
