Review: Super nice frying pan - Love this 8 inch Skillet. Heats super fast. Easy clean up with using a little butter. Used so far for frying my morning egg.
Review: Reliable, Versatile, and Surprisingly My most used Stainless Skillet - I’ve been using this Cuisinart 12-inch stainless steel skillet mostly for burgers and steaks, and it’s been excellent. It heats evenly, sears beautifully, and the helper handle makes it easy to maneuver—even when it’s loaded with heavier cuts. It also does a great job with eggs, especially when preheated properly and used with a little oil or butter. One thing I really appreciate is the handle length—it’s just right for the larger size of the pan. It gives you enough leverage and control without feeling awkward or unbalanced, and the helper handle adds extra stability when transferring from stovetop to counter. After the first use, I did notice a few scratches on the bottom of the pan—even though I didn’t drag it across the burner or move it around. But honestly, that doesn’t affect how I feel about it. Scratches are bound to happen with stainless steel cookware, and the performance hasn’t changed one bit. I own several much more expensive stainless steel pans, but I find myself reaching for this one more often. It’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, and the performance is consistently solid. The flared sides make flipping and pouring easy, and it’s a breeze to clean if you follow basic stainless steel care. If you’re looking for a dependable, versatile skillet that punches above its price point, this one’s a winner. Great for everyday cooking and built to last.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this 18 10 stainless**
A: No, it is not.  Just spoke to Cuisinart and was told it was not 18/10.  The representative did not volunteer what combo it is and I didn't ask.  Her comment was, of course, that it didn't matter.  Well because I've decided to research this metal business more in-depth, I called Cuisinart again and specifically asked what is the percentage of chromium/nickel.  This time I was told 18/10.   When I asked her which of the two Cuisinart representatives is correct, she said she would have someone call me in 3 to 5 days.  The second representative added that the percentages are listed on the bottom of the pan.  Don't know since I don't own the set.  My old Cuisinart pans do not have the percentage on them.

**Q: does it work on Induction cooktops**
A: No. The 1-Quart Contour Saucepan does not test induction ready. I tried the magnet test on my pan.The test is whether a magnet will stick to the bottom of the pan. Use any magnet you have handy even a refrigerator magnet. If the magnet clings to the pan then you have induction ready cookware. If the magnet does not attach or clings only weakly then the pan will not work well for induction cooking.You will want to get Cuisinart MultiClad Pro or Tri-Ply pans for Induction Cooking.

**Q: Can it use on the indoction cooker?**
A: No. I could not use the pan on my induction cooker. I got error sign.

**Q: Can this pan be used on an induction cooktop? I've purchased a cuisinart 733 and it doesn't work, dont want to return yet another pan.**
A: No, this pan doesn't work on an induction cooktop. I tried to talk to Cuisinart about this after I purchased this pan. Their response was really disappointing. While the description of the pan sounds like it would work, it does not.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice but slightly damaged at delivery
*by P***L on January 26, 2026*

Nice size and construction, but poor packaging. Came with a dent in the edge. I can live with it, but am always surprised at how lousy packaging is on many items I get from Amazon.
