Overview
This 8-inch open skillet is part of Cuisinart's Chef's Classic line, built with a hard-anodized aluminum body and a PFAS-free ceramic nonstick interior. It suits anyone who wants a small pan for eggs, fish, or sauteing without pulling out a full-size skillet.
Cuisinart pairs the ceramic nonstick coating with a hard-anodized body rather than the usual nonstick-coated aluminum, which is why it can go to 500 degrees F in the oven instead of the 350-400 range typical of most nonstick pans. The sloped sides are meant for tossing and flipping rather than deep braising, so this reads as a fry-and-saute pan, not an all-purpose one. Cuisinart backs it with a lifetime warranty, worth noting on a nonstick pan since the coating is usually the first thing to wear out.
- 8-inch open skillet, hard-anodized aluminum body
- PurelyCeramic nonstick interior with no PFAS
- Solid stainless steel handle, riveted on
- Rated oven safe up to 500 degrees F
Who it's for
Good for someone who cooks eggs, fish, or a few servings of sauteed vegetables and wants a pan light enough to lift one-handed. Less suited to a cook who needs one skillet to do everything, since the 8-inch size and sloped shape hold less than a larger pan.
Pros and cons
- Oven safe to 500 degrees F
- Riveted stainless steel handle stays cool
- Ceramic interior is PFAS-free
- Lifetime warranty on the pan
- 8-inch size limits it to small batches
- Nonstick coatings still need low to medium heat
- Sloped sides hold less than straight walls
Performance notes
The hard-anodized aluminum body conducts heat evenly across the cooking surface, which matters on a small pan where hot spots show up fast around eggs or fish skin. The stainless steel handle is riveted rather than screwed on, so it stays put over years of use, and it's designed to stay cool on the stovetop even though it's solid metal. The sloped sides make it easier to slide food onto a plate but also mean it holds less volume than a straight-sided pan of the same diameter.
