From eggs for a crowd at breakfast to fish, chicken, or steak at dinnertime, this roomy 12-inch open skillet is a great all-round performer. The advanced Quantanium nonstick coating is designed for healthy low-fat cooking, and titanium reinforcement makes it tough enough for use with metal utensils Even the most delicate foods can be cooked without sticking, and cleanup is quick and easy. An additional helper handle makes it easy to maneuver this large pan on the stovetop.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic cookware is constructed from durable 3mm hard-anodized aluminum, providing superb heat transfer without hot spots. The securely riveted stay-cool steel handles are oven-safe to 500 degrees F, so food can be browned on the stovetop then transferred to the oven to finish cooking. This pan should be hand-washed with a mild detergent, and it carries a limited lifetime warranty against defects. --Simon Leake

Customers like the ease of cleaning, balance, weight and non-stick of the pan. For example, they mention that the helper handle is great, the pan can get quite heavy when it's loaded up and that the 2 handles are really helpful.

Non-stick surface wears out after about four years
Skillet works great and was easy to clean when new. The non-stick surface wore off after 3-4 years of constant use. Only used plastic utensils. Cuisinart replaced the skillet under their lifetime warranty, so we have a new skillet. Looking forward to more years of use with the new skillet.

Reviewed in Mexico on July 30, 2020
Compre el de 30cm y se ve muy grande ya que a comparación del que usaba de 27cm si cambia mucho tanto así que abarca como quemador y medio de la estufa. Venía en una caja grande de amazon pero solo lo protegieron con una bolsa por lo que tenia juego dentro de la caja y por lo mismo como que se golpeó un poquito en el filo, es muy leve.
Esta pesado, algo grueso y se ve bien el recubrimiento de teflón. Espero dure mas que el westing de acabado de piedra que duro solo como año y medio usándolo diario.
Aun no pruebo este pero actualizaré mi reseña en un futuro.
