Review: Best pot Ever!! - I was in search of a replacement pot for use in making my Italian gravy. It needed to be big enough to fit everything and cook it evenly. I add eight 28 oz. cans of tomato sauce (4 sauce and 4 diced), 2 cans of tomato paste, 1 can of water, 3 lbs. of ground beef, and 2 lbs of sausage - all to this one pot. It holds all of it perfectly and cooks evenly. Nothing sticks to the bottom at all and it holds the heat for hours. Has a great glass lid as well. Definitely worthy of my delicious gravy and highly recommended.
Review: Great Pan at a Good Price Point - This pan is my go-to. I have had four of these over the years, having just bought my fourth. I get about four years out each pan, tossing them when the nonstick coating gets too scratched up. I NEVER use metal utensils, only wood, plastic, or silicone, and I ALWAYS hand wash them. What I like: - The two smaller grip handles save so much space versus a 12" pan with a long handle. - The handles make the pan way more stable when lifting a pan full of food. - The nonstick coating works well. - The price. As with all nonstick pans, these are a disposable item. If I get four years of use, I'm okay with spending $30-$40 for this pan because it really is my everyday pan. What I don't like: - The handles will get very hot because they're much closer to the flames on a gas stove, as opposed to a long handle which extends much farther out. - The rivets on the inside are difficult to clean around thoroughly. But I'd actually have a riveted handle than one that's welded to the outside of the pan. Feels much sturdier and safer to me. - The limited lifespan. Three or four years is short, but I think it's just the state of this technology. - Cuisinart's warranty. When I had my first pan, I tried to get a new one when, after three or four years of hand-washing and no metal utensils, the nonstick was clearly failing. They gave me a huge runaround and wouldn't back up their "lifetime" warranty, even though (at least at the time) there were no provisions from everyday wear and tear. So, my expectations lowered, I kept on using these pans because they're that good. RECOMMENDED.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it dishwasher safe**
A: ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Dishwashing detergent will destroy the anodized finish on the outside of your pot, and strip the non-stick interior.  Completely ruined one pan to learn that, and while I am still trying every restore trick I can find, the non-stick "kind of recovered" with the warm oil seasoning trick, but for the outside, they have all absolutely failed.  The pot still cooks ok, but it looks awful!

**Q: What do the bottoms of the pots look like?**
A: The same as the side, and completely flat. They work great on my glass top stove. And they clean up easily. I had some chili boil over awhile back and thought, "This is gonna be a be-aach to clean." But a little Barkeeper's Friend sprinkled on a damp paper towel and it looked like new in no time. I was amazed quite frankly.

**Q: Does this work on Induction cook tops? You can tell if a magnet sticks to the bottom.**
A: No. The "Induction Stovetop Compatible" claim is wrong. It does not work with my induction cooktop, and a magnet does not stick to it.

**Q: Is the glass cover included in this item?**
A: Yes, as at 12.2017, the glass lid IS included. The other answer is incorrect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Perfect Skillet
*by S***Y on June 27, 2025*

Excellent quality, just the right size, and I love the balancing handle for when I need to move it. It's a breeze to clean, and I will never put it in the dishwasher. I want to keep it in perfect condition -- no sticking ever! It's a joy to see a fried egg slide! This is the perfect size, and I love the balancing handle when I need to move it. For me, it's a two-hander. So easy to clean! I'm NOT putting this one in the dishwasher -- only washing by hand! I wan't to keep it in good shape. It's a joy to see a fried egg slide!
