I've been through many a skillet over the years, this one has become my favorite. It heats very evenly and quickly. While it looks great I was concerned about how to clean it, that's turned out to be a non issue if you follow the directions. Soak in hot water.. better than a non-stick pan.

I cook EVERYTHING in this pan. It's definitely my favorite. From steak to chicken to veggies to pasta, this pan does a fantastic job. It is easy to clean AND carry because of the two handles. A must have!

This saute pan is a very solid piece. It's heavy, but large enough to make almost anything. The sides are tall enough to fry chicken in or make chili, and the bottom wide enough to fry bacon. This pan can even be used in the oven for baking a casserole. Because it's not non-stick, you have to be more careful about things sticking, but if something DOES stick, it's no problem to break out the stainless steal scrubbing pad. I love my Cusinart cookware (I have a full set)!

This pan is great! Not only is it nice and heavy and of great quality, but it is HUGE! Whenever company comes over or I am going to cook enough to have leftovers, I always pull out this pan. It is so massive that it sometimes makes it difficult to cook with the burner directly behind it. It is also very beautiful to look at.

I have had problems with sticking a couple times, but I think that was mostly due to operator error. The item I have is not quite the same as pictured, even though this is the one I ordered, so I was a bit confused when I got it, but I thought "oh, what the heck!" The pan is stainless throughout (it appears to be non stick in the photograph) and has a stainless cover (I thought it looked like it had a clear cover on the photograph, but after taking a closer look I realized I was mistaken).

I would buy this pan again!

I ordered this pan with lid thinking it was a nonstick saute pan...as pictured. I recently visited the recipient of this gift and discovered that it was not teflon coated as pictured. Of course it was way too late to return this item as the recipient had destroyed the box...I was very disappointed in Amazon. I realize Cuisinart is quality merchandise, and so if a mistake was made it is not the end of the world....but I intentionally ordered this saute pan because of the nonstick surface.
