Great skillet!, (What's this?) Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Stainless 10-inch Open Skillet
This is a great non-stick skillet. Very balanced, good weight. Performs well. Very happy with my choice.
Don't play Cuisinart's manipulative little games!, (What's this?) This is a decent enough non-stick frying pan, but it's also been a quite annoying.
I'd decided there's no such thing as a durable non-stick pan, & so chose this medium quality, medium price one. I had lots of 10" lids lying around, so didn't buy one at the time. I dicovered, however, that this 10" frying pan is really a 9&1/2" frying pan & none of my lids would fit. Cuisinart puts a 1/4" flange around the lip of the pan, saves a little in materials costs, and makes a little extra profit on each one sold. I guess it must add up.
So I came back to Amazon to purchase a lid, only to discover that Cuisinart only sells lids in pairs of two! What's the thinking here? Again, they make some extra money on the deal. I wound up purchasing a Faberware 10" lid (ASIN: B00006IFQS) that the Amazon reviews helpfully mentioned was a little small. I got lucky: though there's a little play it fits well enough for me and I didn't have to pay for two lides when I only wanted one. (if you're really fussy, however, it probably won't fit well enough for you.)
The moral of the story: if you want a lid, be aware you'll have to buy two to get a Cuisinart lid that fits tightly. I'd recommend going with the Faberware alternative or, better yet, not playing Cuisinart's manipulative little manufacturing & packaging games and purchasing another brand entirely.
NOT WORTH THE MONEY, We purchased one of these pans about 3 years ago. Cuisinart claimed you could use metal unensils with it so we did. After about a year the coating was badly scratched and food was sticking to it. We decided it was our fault and purchased another one.
This time we never used metal with it and were very careful not to scratch it with anything. It lasted almost two years but now food is sticking to this one. No amount of cleaning helps either. The skillet still looks great but it is useless now. I've tried to contact customer service but they're not responding. Apparently their "lifetime warranty" is worthless.
Next time I'll buy a cheap pan at half the price and forget this brand in the future. They're just not worth the money.
Worth the money, (What's this?) This skillet is just as expected. It is great for cooking anything from eggs to meat. Clean up is a breeze.
No Non-stick, (What's this?) I was excited when opening the box and seeing a really good-looking pan. Washed it with warm water and soap before first use. The first use was a charm. It performed just as published. Hand washed and towel dried separately. About the third use started to notice a decrease in performance. Now it doesn't seem to perform any better than cheaper brands. Also, there is an annoying clicking as it is heated. I am assuming it is the sandwiched metal expanding and contracting. I would rate heat conductivity as good.
Great Nonstick Skillet, (What's this?) This pan looks great, cooks everything well, and is super easy to clean in the dishwasher.
Perfect for a couple eggs, (What's this?) I bought this pan almost exclusively to make fried eggs. My other pans are all stainless steel and it's just too much of a hassle to cook an egg on them. The 8" is the perfect size for two eggs, and the nonstick surface works very well. I can't speak to the pan's durability since I've only had it a month, but I'm very satisfied so far.
Love this pan..., (What's this?) This is the second pan I purchased in this line. I tried the Green Gourmet Non-Stick line, as I always lean towards using recycled materials wherever possible, and Cuisinart is really faturing that line, but was very disappointed. Evrything stuck to the Green Gourmet pan, even with way too much oil.
I gave up and purchased the Chef's Classic line again, and am extremely happy with it. Nothing sticks, and it cleans up easily with soap & water & a little kitchen brush.
Wedding Gift, (What's this?) This item arrived timely. It seemed to be a good weight and easily handled. I bought this for a wedding gift. The bride and groom were pleased.
Poorly balanced and not flat, (What's this?) I was very excited to get this... so maybe I'm more disappointed than I should be for the price. This is a heavy pan with a nice thick non stick coating... but I don't actually use the pan because the balance is off. It tips far more than my super cheap lighter weight pan.
