Cuisinart Chef's Classic 12 In. Skillet with Glass Lid, 722-30GP1

Nice heavy base to hold heat. Cleans easily and looks great. Replaced all my non stick pans.

Excellent quality at a great price

Excellent quality. Very large capacity for cooking a lot at once!

I was a bit nervous about giving up my nonstick pans, and as soon as I ordered this I read a lot of blogs about how to cook w/ stainless steel. So far it's worked well for me. Something I'm confused about is that much of the advice I read says to preheat the pan, but the instructions say not to heat the pan up w/ nothing in it. Indeed, it makes a sound like it's buckling when it gets hot (It doesn't look like it's buckling though). This is at medium heat or slightly lower, and I have a gas stove. I've been using that sound as my cue that it's preheated and I the fat to the pan at that point, food shortly after. So far I've used this pan to carmelize onions, sear turkey cutlets, scramble eggs, and make fried rice, and there's been a little sticking but nothing a short soak doesn't take care of. I didn't have $$$$ for a more expensive pan and figured it was better to have a cheaper pan to learn on anyway in case I ruined it. I've been happy with my choice. Updates: I have since made pancakes and quesadillas in this pan and it has definite hot spots, those things did not cook evenly. (Maybe that is normal for this type of cookware, I don't know.) I also wanted to add that I make eggs in the pan all the time -from a dozen scrambled to a single fried - and never have any sticking as long as I follow the routine: start from a clean pan, preheat, cooking spray, then add the eggs. Much better than my nonstick pans ever were. Because this pan is so huge, I've been using it for chili and taco filling I would previously have done in my dutch oven. I've also noticed that the buckling sound I mentioned in my previous review doesn't happen anymore, and the pan is still in perfect shape. Still happy with my purchase!

I bought this pan even though quite a few reviews here said that the glass lid shatters. The price was better than similar lidless pans. I figured I will not use the lid. When you see the item, it is immediately apparent that the lid is going to have issues. Not sure how Cuisinart engineers could have missed the flaw in the design. My guess is that they just used artists. The problem with the glass lid is that it is surrounded by a very tight fitting steel ring with no playroom. Similarly the handle is made of steel rod and very tightly attached to the glass, with no playroom. Steel and glass expand at different rates when exposed to heat. So they start pushing against each other, and guess what, one of them has to give. I gave it 5 stars because the pan itself is excellent, high quality, nicely polished stainless steel. One additional note regarding the polished look of it: From previous experience, If you'd like to preserve the look, don't use hard scouring pads or steel wool to clean it. Just a soft sponge and soap. You can throw some salt in there and rub it with a dryish soapy sponge to get baked on food off. If you get some stains from food in the pan that don't come off with sponge and soap, just pour some white or apple cider vinegar in the pan, cover it with the lid or saran wrap (to keep the vinegar from evaporating) and leave it overnight. Rinse and dry the next morning. It will look brand new. (The acid in the vinegar will dissolve / clean off the stains. Stainless steel is impervious to the acid in vinegar.)

Prefect! Just what I needed. Cooked my eggs perfectly with no trouble at all! 10/10

Great for the price

Worst frying pan I ever used. It burns good on medium heat. There is a hump in middle so oil runs to sides. Very hard to clean. Needs to be scrubbed vigorously even when used with adequate oil over medium heat. Pan is also very heavy. Has no handle on opposite side like all pans of this side. DO NOT BUY THIS PAN!!!’

If your looking for a 12 inch Stainless Steel pan that also comes with a lid, it's very hard to go past Cuisinart's offering. Looks fantastic, cooks great and is easy to clean with minimal sticking. I have several pans similar to this but of different brands and this one wins hands down. Heats quickly and evenly for excellent even cooking. Doesn't help with cooking i know but also looks beautiful. If your in the market for a pan of similar specifications look no further then this pan.

Un gran precio y mucha calidad tanto en el traste como en su tapa, nos encanta, muy buen tamaño eso si, hay que cocinar a fuego medio y echarle una capita de aceite para que no se te pegue la comida. Recomendado.

Este artículo representa una adición de alto rendimiento para cocinas que demanden durabilidad a largo plazo y versatilidad operativa (apto para estufa y horno hasta a 260°C). Su relación costo-beneficio es sobresaliente, posicionándose por encima de competidores premium de mayor precio. Se recomienda rigurosamente para entusiastas de la gastronomía y profesionales que aprecien los utensilios robustos y eternos, capaces de soportar un uso rudo diario sin registrar fatiga estructural.

Genial, hay que agarrarle la onda para que no se te pegue nada, y obvio mucho cuidado para que no se raye, por eso compré mis utensilios de madera, me alegra mucho ya no cocinar en cosas tóxicas.

Es buen sartén, lo malo es la calidad, se siente muy delgado la sartén y se siente un poco flexible (poco porque si está regular como las sartenes de teflón que venden en los súper), como si fuera lámina, pero lo que más me gustó fue que si es completamente útil para estufas de inducción
