 Ideal for man cookingSep 17, 2009
By T. Roach
I follow a strict regimen of man cooking, which allows for just one cooking vessel, one serving/dining vessel, and optimally, one utensil. This pan meets nearly all needs: part saucepan, part wok, and part saute pan. Brilliant.

on a whimApr 12, 2009
By A. D. Oltmann
I bought this pan in a department store on a whim; I had a gift card that was about to expire. I have some All-Clad and was hoping to find another All-Clad pan to add to my collection; I was not too surprised when I could not. I "settled" for this pan. It's not much of a "settle" because this pan is great.
I am an avid cook - it's how I relax - and I use this pan all the time right along side my All-Clad. I will be purchasing more Cuisinart pans in the future. For the price and the quality, you can't beat them. They are great on a ceramic top stove.
I did notice that food stuck the first time and that discoloration did appear the first few times. This is normal for stainless steel pans. Just heat up and deglaze to remove the food. For the discoloration... just keep going, all my stainless steel pans, that have been discolored, have gone back (to a stainless appearance) after I use them a couple more times. Just keep in mind that because this is a quality pan, the heat will not need to be nearly as high as with other pans. Heat being too high can cause permanent discoloration and can ruin a pan.
Over all - great pan - great buy.

Quickly became the star of my kitchenJun 08, 2009
By M. Mortensen
"cookbot"
I waited a year after purchase to review this pan so that I could mention durability -- but within a month of buying it, this became the most-used piece of cookware in my kitchen. It's big enough to do a quick saute for 1-2 persons, but if like me you do much cooking that requires reductions (stocks, sauces), you'll adore this pan. I'm crazy about it, and it's also shown such durability that I've subsequently bought 4 other pieces of Cuisinart stainless steel. As good as All-Clad products are, I honestly think these Cuisinart pieces are just about comparable to them... for a fraction of the price.

When Multiclad isn't available...Jul 10, 2008
By Melissa M. Bondi
First off, I am a devoted Cuisinart cookware fan; I own nonstick hard-anodized, stainless steel and Multiclad pieces. I bought this piece because I couldn't find a Multiclad Chef's pan in any size.
It's very nice - great, mirrored finish interior & attractive brushed exterior, with a safe, good-fitting (not too tight) mirrored lid. It's lighter than Multiclad in weight, as you'd expect from stainless steel. Heating is even, the capacity is generous and the shape accommodates most utensils down in the 'seam' where the pan bottom meets the bowl. If you know how to cook with & care for stainless steel, Cuisinart's will not disappoint you -- it's very forgiving and easy to clean.
I tend to use my glass lid (their lids are completely interchangeable) when cooking with this, and I think it's a little too small to use in place of a wok, unless you're only cooking a meal for one or two people. But it's versatile and effective, and fits a valuable niche in my kitchen.
Now, if only it was available in the Multiclad line....

An AWESOME pan to have in any cookware collection.Jun 21, 2009
By Cityhopper
Okay, we already know All-Clad is great but when you don't have All-Clad money you can get a great performing Chef's pan by Cuisinart (Chef's Classic line).
I absolutely love this pan. My favorite cookware purchase to date. I would have love for this to have been from the Multi-Clad line. Still, this is a lightweight, great performing, stainless steel pan.
I particularly love the shape of this pan. The versatility of the pan is where it really stands out. I have done everything in this pan from frying, boiling, to sautéing an entrée for a meal.
I have had it for less than a month and used it more than even some of my Cuisinart MC Pro pieces. Great purchase! And Amazon has carried this piece directly to ship.
