Cuisinart is pleased to offer an exciting variety of specialty pieces. Easy pouring saucepans make draining liquids simple and our gourmet pans make everyday cooking tasks a pleasure
Enhance your existing Chef's Classic set with this versatile, 12-inch everyday pan, or give it as a gift to someone whose kitchen space is limited. You can cook practically anything in this superb specialty piece. Simmer soup, fry chicken, stir-fry vegetables, cook pancakes, and even bake casseroles. The two loop-style, riveted stainless-steel handles make the shape more compact for fitting in an oven, and the domed glass lid conveniently lets you monitor what's cooking. Chef's Classic cookware handsomely serves at the table, too.
Cuisinart constructs this pan of hard-anodized aluminum, which is even stronger than stainless steel, with an encapsulated pure aluminum core for quick, even heating. The interior features Cuisinart's Quantanium nonstick finish, a high-quality, long-lasting finish internally reinforced with titanium. Little oil or butter is needed when cooking on this ultra-smooth surface, and low to medium heat is recommended, along with non-metal utensils. The piece is oven-safe to 500 degrees F and should be washed only by hand. Cuisinart covers this pan with a lifetime limited warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

Love This:
This is large and heavy duty. It goes from stove to oven and the handles are very sturdy. You should only wash it by hand. Love It.

Good pan for the price:

When I ordered the pan I was not thrilled with the idea of hand washing, but clean up is easy & quick. I have cooked eggs in the dry pan and no problem. As for warping mentioned in other reviews, I think it is just a matter of following the instructions. I have had no problems.
truly an everyday pan:
Ever since I received this pan, approximately 3 months ago, it has been used almost daily. It has great browning and nonstick properties. That it can withstand up to 500 degrees in the oven is wonderful for top browning when I place it on the top oven shelf. I love its ease of cleaning, fits flat on the sink bottom. My only complaint is that it could be an inch deeper which would prevent some spillage when stirring anything with a sauce. I would also love to get an identical 10" pan.
