This pan is one of the best that I've used. It heats evenly and quickly, food doesn't stick to it, and it's very easy to clean. We liked it so much that we bought the 8 inch and 10 inch to replace our circulon pans.

I purchased this pan because of a recommendation from the testing lab of "America's Test Kitchen". It has performed exactly as expected, we couldn't be more pleased.

I live in a fairly rural area and have been looking for just the perfect pan for my needs. It wasn't to be found. This is the perfect pan. It is heavy enough to seat on the stove top to keep the surface flat on the burner. The handle is more than adequate to support that weight plus whatever you are cooking. And the conductivity of the aluminum allows cooking at the recommended lower temperatures that is not only good for the cookware, but good for your health too. I highly recommend this pan. I will be looking for additional pans from Cuisinart to replace my other cookware.

Upon recommendation from America's Test Kitchen, I purchased this pan. I am a good chef and know how to properly use a pan. Within a few uses this pan was scratched. I did not overheat the pan, nor did I use mental tongs to turn the meat. So, I am very disppointed with this pan. Also, for the record, I did not use excessive cleaners that would compromise the integrity of the pan. I do not recommend this pan at all.

I have 2 of these skillets and need more. I travel and cook when I travel. This skillet goes with me in my luggage. I abuse this item and it keeps on being the best skillet I have ever owned. I have a skillet I paid 175.00 for and this little 31.00 (when I bought it) puts it to shame. It definitely needs a lid but the non-stick surface remains amazing after 4 years of use/abuse. My only complaint is the price increase since 5 of my family members have requested this item for their Christmas/birthday presents. GREAT skillet.
