Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Amazon.com Review

Cuisinart’s Chef’s Classic cookware is for experienced cooks who desire professional-level cookware and understand the benefits of this triple-ply construction. This 12-inch pan is aptly named as it cooks just about everything and will easily become the most used pan in the kitchen. The shallow sides make it useful for cooking a variety of dishes, from sauteéing salmon with ginger to pan-frying four lamb chops to setting a six-egg sausage and pepper frittata. Add the high, domed stainless-steel lid to seal in nutrients and flavors and the pan braises chicken or heats a shrimp and rice pilaf to perfection.

The gorgeous 18/10 stainless-steel exterior looks impressive and also offers excellent cooking performance and an easy surface to clean. A pure aluminum encapsulated base provides even heat distribution. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior allows cooks to use any ingredient in this pot without fear of discoloration, acidic flavors, or reactions taking place. The lid fits tightly on the pot’s rim and the drip-free rim is tapered for pouring without worry about spilling. The everything pan’s solid stainless-steel loop handle and helper handle have stay-cool grips and are oven-safe to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. --Cristina Vaamonde

I really do wish I could like it. This is a well made, heavy pan that cooks like a dream. But prospective buyers will want to do some measuring around their kitchens before ordering. There is a LONG handle, which has been a problem for me. It's hard to fit in the oven, hard to fit into the dishwasher, and hard to store in my kitchen cabinets. Cuisinart makes a 12" EveryDAY pan with the same domed lid but two short handles, which I have since ordered, and which I find much more practical to use. (You can fit the same amount of food into the EveryDAY pan)

These pans are a delight to use, and particularly wonderful for slow-braising dishes, but this 12" EveryTHING design is difficult to live with in a small kitchen. I recommend the version without the handle.

What a great pan at a great price! I was concerned with food sticking. NO PROBLEM! This is better than any non-stick pan that I have used and clean up is so easy. The handles DO NOT get hot like I thought they would. Very cool to the touch. They are a very heavy duty pan and have a very nice looking design. I heat a little warm water in the pan before cleaning and EVERYTHING comes loose. I have never had to scrub it at all. It looks as good as new after several washes. I will definately be adding to my set with a few more Cuisinart pots & pans! I was a bit disappointed that the prices are going up, but they are still a great deal compared to any others that I have tryed!

I love this pan! I received it a month ago and with a promotion, got it for under 20$. No, it is not nonstick, and I initially intended to purchase another nonstick pan, but given this pan's reviews and the price, I gave it a try and am very pleased with it. It is a beautiful, heavy, well made pan with a high domed lid(included). It is a good sized pan and I really love the "helper handle". Yes, it is somewhat heavy...but I think that is a plus. It cleans up like a dream and I love the fact that you do not have to be extra careful about metal utensils, the dishwasher etc.(although I love this pan so much that I will probably "baby it"). I am extremely happy with this pan and the price can't be beat! Thanks Amazon!

This is a very good quality pan for the price. Cooks food quite nicely, and clean up is a breeze. A very heavy-weight pan! Glad I bought two of them!

Two pans arrived sans the "Domed Cover," one even had the handle pushed through the box end. Amazon quickly had a (third) complete, undamaged, replacement at my door. Factory packaging doubles as shipping container...plan on needing another box if this is to be a gift.
I own the $24.99, lidless, version; it heats evenly, no problem with food sticking, easy to clean...however, the cookie sheet I sometimes use as a lid can't compete with look of this pan's domed cover!
