My favorite pan!:
This pan replaced my large nonstick frying pan. I was a bit concerned about sticking food and cleanup, but haven't had a problem at all. This pan is lighter weight than I am used to, but I like that. Makes it much easier to handle. I love that I can use this beautiful pan to serve as well as cook. I highly recommend this item!

Happy with Purchase:
I'd been shopping around for a good, large non-stick pan for quite a while before deciding on this one. This pan compares very favorably in quality to those I found in the B & M stores around here and the price was lower, too. At first a skillet with no long handle seemed a little awkward, but after one sink soak, that became a favorite feature. I've used it to dry sear a large rump roast and, in doing so, badly blackened the interior of pan, but a paste of baking soda/vinegar brought it back to almost new. The pan is very lightweight, especially the lid, so that's keeping me from giving it 5-stars, but with proper care, I expect to get my money's worth out of this pan and would purchase again.

Excellent buy:
We had been looking for a good pan to replace our old Meyer skillet. This really fits the bill. We no longer trust the non-stick pans and this one is easy to clean and does well in the dishwasher.

Fit for the Queen:
This is a very beautiful pan. Use is for big cooking. Stainless steel and aluminum clam results in even control and consistent heat. A real beauty on the stove or on the table. Excellent value.

A pan for all seasons:
I have the cusinart non-stick everyday pan too. I like them both. The Non-stick comes with a glass lid that fits both pans. As does the steel dome cover lid fits both. Both are easy to clean and I find that the steel pan has a heavier bottom. It heats up nice cooks evenly and my Older daughter prefers it because she loathes non-stick pans. I use this pan for stir fry and one pan dish meals & Pan fried fish. And unlike the non stick pan this goes in the dish washer. But hand cleaning has not been a probelm. I like it and the high dome cover is a real plus. An excellent buy at 30.00 bucks. I would recommend this pan. It will stay on your stove. It gets used that much!Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Medium Dome Cover Compare them both. The steel lid has a higher dome.
