3 out of 5 stars

just OK
This saute pan (5.5 qt) is OK, but does not have a quality feel, mainly because of the weight. In the picture it is on the left; on the right is a smaller Fissler pan. The Cuisinart is 12 3/8" in diameter and the Fissler is 10 1/4". So the Cuisinart is 46% greater in area, but weighs 10% less. The Cuisinart lid is likewise lighter and feels cheap. I would not buy this again.

    I got this pan for meal prepping to make very large meals for an entire week at a time and it works great. Heavy duty and solid, no warping so far and when I keep it clean it looks and works exactly the same now as it did when I bought it almost a year ago. Can take a while to heat which is to be expected, but once it's hot it retains heat very well. Large enough to cook at least a weeks worth a of a meal.
    My only negative is that the pan is quite heavy and the handle is thin and an odd shape so if you aren't very strong or if you have hand mobility issues you will have to use both handles to move it around.

    We replaced all of our teflon and other “non stick” pots and pans with Cuisinart Stainless steel cookware. There is a small leaning curve but anyone with little cooking skill can work it out. They are beautiful in my new kitchen, they are sturdy and durable, and the quality is top notch.

    This pan is a perfect size for so many cooking projects. I use this a lot. It is very high quality and has held up very well to a lot of cooking abuse. Stainless steel is the only way to go for cooking. Once you learn how to use stainless, then it works great. I haven't had any problems cleaning this, and it is very easy to clean. And the metal is the perfect thickness and material.

    In 2003 we bought an entire set of Cuisinart stainless steel pots and pans. They ended up being the best we have even owned and we still use them today. Outstanding heat distribution, durability and easy of cleaning. No matter what we cooked in them we could easily clean them; rinsing them out, adding about an inch of water and a tablespoon of salt, bring the water to a boil and then let it cool. After that it really only took a quick wipe with a soapy sponge, cold water rinse, drip dry and it was good as new. After over 15 years of reliable use I mistakenly forgot about the pan while boiling the water to clean it and it boiled dry and started smoking. Without thinking I ran water over the pan and that severely warped the bottom… A mistake I will never live down… Anyway I quickly purchased a replacement but it wasn't the same. After about a year of use the bottom was warped and the inside had a few pock marks in the metal. Just not the same quality… We later purchase a second 5 1/2 qt multi-purposed pot and that quality was lacking as well. Come to find out, the original set wasn't the "Classic" style but the more expensive MultiClad Pro. Eureka! I found the outstanding Cuisinart cookware I've been looking for. This is the higher quality I've come to expect from Cuisinart. I'm buying more as I type…

    I spent more hours than I want to admit researching and choosing pots and pans. I ordered several different sets including Cuisinart's Chef's Classic 7-piece set and the MultiClad Pro 7-piece set. I ended up returning both and purchased individual pots. If you purchase Multiclad pots individually, you don't end up paying too much more than a full set would cost, but you can choose the exact pans you want. I purchased a 10" saute pan, 1.5qt sauce pan, and 4qt sauce pan and I use every pan almost every day. If I bought the 7- or 12-piece set, I'd save some money per pan, but many of the pans (8qt stockpot, for example) would sit idle.
    I really liked the idea of getting a saute pan because it holds way more food and is more versatile. I can cook for 2-5 people with the same pan, whereas the 10" frying pan that comes with the 7-piece set can barely make enough for 3 people.
    It cooks very evenly and like others have said, can be made non-stick with the right preparation. Simply warm up the pan first, then add oil, and once that is nice and hot, add your foods. I made the best crepes I've ever made in this pan with no sticking at all!
    The look and feel of the pan is also excellent. It's heavy and high-quality, but not too heavy. Also, the brushed stailess exterior with the mirror-finish rim is so sexy, if a pan can be called sexy. I like these so much that I always want to clean them up and they make me happy every time I see them!
    Get this, it's highly recommended! It's too bad it costs as much as the 5 1/2 quart saute pan 🙁

    Color: Sauté Pan w/Helper & CoverSize: 5.5-QuartVerified Purchase

    I switched to this cookware, from Cuisinart's "Chef's Choice", because the bottom discs kept delaminating from my skillets. This set has triple ply throughout, so there is no bottom disc to come loose. There are pros and cons related to this set (and, to this type of cookware, in general):
    These pots are, undeniably, more durable. These pots are much heavier. On an induction stovetop, these pots take significantly longer to heat up (water in my small pot boils in 90s in the lighter pots, but takes a full 2 minutes in these pots). My biggest complaint is that these pots cook on the sides of the pot, not just on the bottom. For some things, like candy, you don't want heating on the side. Also, more work to clean these, since food doesn't just stick on the bottom of the pan, but also on the sides. Also, since the sides of these pots cook, they are hot, and the small handles will get too hot to hold (which doesn't happen with the bottom-disc type cookware).

    I'm newish to using stainless pans but I loved the size and shape of this one and decided to give it a shot. I am so glad I did! It's the perfect size for almost any one pot meal. I've made spaghetti, fried several chicken breasts, made 4 pancakes at a time, and it's been perfect for all. The heat conduction is fantastic and if you keep it on medium low it will serve you well. Once it's heated up food cooks fairly quickly and I haven't had any issues with overheating or burning. If you are someone who needs to cook for multiple people or meal preps this is a fantastic pan and a great deal.

    Just an awesome saute pan

    Reviewed in Canada on February 14, 2024

    Color: Sauté Pan w/Helper & CoverSize: 3.5-QuartVerified Purchase

    Just an awesome piece of kitchen equipment. I was considering going with All Clad, since people rave about their heat distribution, but I had read great things about the Multi-Clad Pro and – after seeing that it was half an inch deeper than the All Clad, I went with it. I couldn't love this thing any more, and it was 2/5 the price of All Clad. The heat distribution is terrific and the weighting is excellent. The handles are really comfortable to use, even with heavier items in the pan. The helper handle also comes in handy with those heavier items. One thing I have realized is that these pans will warp significantly if submerged in water when they're hot, so don't do that. I 100% recommend this pan and I know you'll love using it.

    Best Pan Ever!

    Reviewed in Canada on October 18, 2020

    Color: Sauté Pan w/Helper & CoverSize: 3.5-QuartVerified Purchase

    We have owned this pan for 2 years. We love it and use it at least 4 x per week. With this, there are no worries about harmful non-stick coatings off-gassing or chipping off in our food. It evenly heats and cooks. There were adjustments that needed to be made with cooking in stainless steel rather than non-stick pans. We use oil with a high smoke point which can withstand higher heat without burning (not EVO or cooking sprays that have additives) or we add a small amount of water/broth to lift any bits that stick while cooking. My husband uses it to cook fried eggs and omelets regularly. It cleans up very well with a little Bar Keeper's Friend powder when we're done. It does not retain any odor or flavor from previous things cooked in it. No warping and still looks shiny and new with no signs of wear. I highly recommend it.

    En general este es un buen valor, el ajuste y acabado puede mejorarse con mayores niveles o control de la calidad de las normas de calidad vigentes. El mango no está completamente pulido, ni son los bordes como lisas o pulidas como debe ser una pieza a este precio. Me decepciona en la calidad del acero inoxidable. No es el antiguo estándar de 18/10 o lo que llaman las nuevas normas. Ahora es compatible con la inducción y no el mejor acero inoxidable para la durabilidad. El acero inoxidable arañazos muy fácilmente, que es una verdadera decepción. Las parrillas de baja calidad en la estufa arañazos este pan, casi tan fácilmente como el aluminio.
