Our verdict

A large, dishwasher-safe stainless skillet that browns well and works on induction. Without nonstick, eggs and fish need preheating and oil to release cleanly.

Overview

Cuisinart's Chef's Classic skillet pairs a stainless cooking surface with an aluminum disc encapsulated in the base for quick, even heating. Inside markings help with measuring, and a rim for drip-free pouring finishes it.

Proper browning and fond for pan sauces are why many cooks want stainless over nonstick. Heat comes mainly through the base, so the sides stay cooler than fully clad pans.

Who it's for

Households cooking larger batches of meat, vegetables and stir-fries get a wide, durable pan that does not react with food. Those who mostly cook eggs should stick with nonstick.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Large cooking surface
  • Browns well for pan sauces
  • Works on induction
  • Non-reactive stainless interior
Cons
  • Sticks without enough oil and preheat
  • Heat is in the base, not the walls
  • Oven temperature not listed

Performance notes

The encapsulated aluminum disc spreads burner heat across the base, which reduces hot spots. Stainless lets food stick slightly and leave fond, which is what makes pan sauces. Preheating and fat control how cleanly delicate foods release.
