I love the cuisinart cooks classic line. I believe I have every piece they make. Of all of them, I use the 12-frying pan and the 3 qt saucepan the most. I've had these pans for a year and a half now and they are still as pretty as when I first got them. My food cooks evenly and they are relatively easy to clean. Great cookware for a good price!

This pan is heavy yet awesome. I bought this pan, a 5 1/2 inch saute pan saucepan, a 4 qt saucepan, and the 12 inch everything pan. I bought all four on one order but all arrived in different boxes, in different conditions and from different shipping companies. The 5-1/2 qt saute pan was shipped via FedEx in the Cuisinart box with one end resealed with a piece of cardboard and lots of tape - the helper handle of the pan was the tiniest bit scratched. The saucepans were put in an amazon box and shipped via UPS perfectly. The Everything pan was shipped via a weirldy named shipping company that FedEx uses and was fine. 5 stars on the pans, but 1 1/2 stars for Amazon. This is the first time of the hundreds of items and times that I have used Amazon that I was not very happy with the way things were shipped.

Don't buy it. The quality of the steel is poor and the bottom of the pan burns whatever you are cooking. I have used it twice for boiling and the inside is already stained and won't come clean. The steel has impurities. The manual itself says not to use it on high temperatures...... Believe me, Amazon is making a deal here, not you!
