Cuisinart Chef's Classic Non Stick S/S 8" Fry Pan

This is a beautiful pan! But it’s not really nonstick unless you use a lot of oil… but that’s okay! The food cooks well, heat is evenly distributed and the eggs slide out with a lot of butter. 😉

Everything sticks to it, whether low or high heat.

Good communication, fast shipping, product as described AAA+++++

The description says this pan is non-stick. It isn't.

We bought the 12" skillet because our non-pans were going out.After using the 12" only once we threw out ALL of our non-stick pans and bought 2 more of these (the 8: and the 10")...NO kidding.It cooked things so well that we're NEVER going pack to Teflon pans again!Okay, there's a few things you need to know about cooking with stainless steel pans.So, if you follow these guidelines you'll get great results every time.1. Use very low heat (warm to low only...you DON'T need medium)2. Let the pan heat up for a couple of minutes prior to cooking (without oil or butter).3. Move food around often as it helps to prevent sticking.4. Don't use metal spatulas in the pan5. When done cooking, keep the pan on the burner and pour in water to fill the pan (while it's still very hot).Let the pan soak for at least 10-15 minutes, then rinse out and wipe dry. Do this EVERY time you cook.If a stain does occur you can use a few spinkles of Bon Ami powder and a damp sponge or cloth to get it as clean as new.DON'T USE SCOURING PADS! It will scratch the heck out of the pan.6. DON'T season the pan, or wipe it down with oil after cooking, it only makes food stick in the pan.Review of the skillet:The handle stays cool and is comfortable to hold.The skillet is heavier than an aluminum pan and sits flat on most burners (without leaning or tipping over).It heats up more slowly than aluminum, but it heats evenly all the way to the edges. This makes bacon come out more light and crispy and evenly cooked.It makes searing more effective and you'll be amazed at how well it browns things like potatoes, french toast, grilled cheese sandwiches, meats, and hamburger buns.Lastly, it makes the BEST eggs ever! YES even scrambled eggs come out perfect.*Note: those with gas stoves will have a harder time learning to use these pans because there's no thermostat and the pans can overheat really fast.Once you get the hang of using stainless steel, you WON'T go back to non-stick...EVER.
