CuisinartDishwasher Safe Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Open Skillet with Helper Handle

This must be one of the best nonstick pans offered today. Heavy but not too heavy. Very nonstick and safe cooking surface. I purchased a silicone rimmed glass lid and upgraded the glass lid with a stainless steel knob, and now this is a looker and a cooker!I highly recommend this pan, goes great with my Cuisinart stainless steel professional skillet. You really need both.

So I first met this pot while on vacation at a West Gate Resort in Orlando, Florida where I stayed for a week with my family. I usually make breakfast at the resort and have lunch and dinner out. The first time I used this pot I was in love. After using it for almost the entire week I wrote down the name and serial number because I knew my kitchen had to have it. Ordered it the day before I left the resort and received it a day after getting home. It's awesome! Truly non-stick. Cleans like a dream (No need for steel wool or harsh scrubbers which may damage). The handle stays cool to the touch even while cooking. Cooks eggs and meats very well. Absolutely recommend. I bought it in 2 sizes 10 inch and 12 inch. It's been a couple months and I am still very happy with this purchase!

Works like a charm cooking and cleaning! I had no idea how helpful the handle is on this particular size pan . Nice value . Cuisinart is consistently good 👍

First off, I have to say that anyone who has given this a negative review either didn't receive the same skillet I did or they have made very poor choices with it (rough use with metal spatulas, pouring water in it immediately after use etc..)I bought this skillet as a gift to mom on Christmas in 2011, and she literally uses it EVERY time she cooks on the stovetop, which is nearly every day/night. I have also used it many times, and I must say that I have never seen such a perfect and truly non-stick skillet. We fry rice in it and don't need to scrape anything out. Just tilt the skillet a little and 100% of of the rice slides right out without any help from a spatula. It's handled fried chicken, thick, boiling sauces and anything else you can think of that might normally stick, and no amount of scraping has ever been necessary for cleaning.There isn't much else I can say about this except that it performs exactly the way it's advertised. My mom wants a second one of these and would happily toss all of her pots and pans for a full set. I can't knowingly say that this skillet will last forever, but it's still as perfect as it was nearly a year and a half ago when it was new, so I can't imagine it ever losing it's non-stick properties, or at least not in the next few years.One thing I can't comment on is how the dishwasher might affect it. It doesn't fit in my mom's dishwasher, so it has always been washed by hand.Considering the success my mom has had, you may want to wash it by hand instead of using a dishwasher, just because that's never been a problem for us.And, of course, don't use metal cooking utensils when you can avoid it, and never submerge any hot pan in water unless it's your goal to destroy it.

I really like this skillet. I have not tried putting it in the dishwasher yet because all food washes off easily and I have found that hand washing it has been very fast. It has a nice weight and is large enough for most of my needs. So far there has been no discoloration of the heat contact side. The non-stick interior seems very high quality and unlikely to peel. The price is definitely right. I own many brands of cookware - CIA, All-Clad, Emeril (original version not made by T-Fall), Scanpan, Swiss Diamond, Chantel, lots of LeCreuset enameled cast iron, several Lodge Cast Iron pans and some copper clad Kila Chef pans. This is the first low cost pan (besides the Lodge) that I have purchased in about 10 years and I am very surprised that it cooks as well as my more expensive pans. As my more expensive non-stick pans fail (one of my non-stick CIA skillets failed), I will replace them with this Cusinart Dishwasher Safe hard anodized cookware.Update: This pan within a year lost some of its non-stick character. However, this loss was no quicker than equivalent loss for my more expensive non-stick pans.

I bought the pan to replace a non-stick one that I accidentally burned to a crisp while using my sister's glass top convection range. There's a secret to these ranges..... the pans you use have to be magnetic (magnet sticks to them) or they don't work. Real stainless steel, cast iron work fantastic, but this pan had a coating on the bottom that prevented heat from being conducted and the stove turned itself off. Since I was visiting out of state and couldn't pack the pan home, I returned it to Amazon (thank you).

This is my second time buying this skillet (this is a newer version of my last skillet). First one lasted about 10 years. Still worked great and was used almost every day. Replaced it because the non stick coating was too scratched from being stacked improperly and too many metal utensils. The helper handle is a great for transferring a full skillet to the oven or counter.

Great pan. It’s a little on the heavy side, It’s non-stick. Cleans easily, so enjoyable to use. Easy to flip food like a pro with it. Liked it so well, I just purchased a very similar stir-fry pan like it. Which is it as heavy but same coating. Very nice. I couldn’t be happier. Replaced an old T-Fall which we had for years and years. These pans are a whole new level of excellence.

Great pan and I love it because I can use metal on it
