Cuisinart MCP22-30HN MultiClad Pro Stainless 12-Inch Skillet with Helper

First one we got was warped on the bottom, second one has been perfect. Great pan to go along with the set.

I love it plus it matches the set of Cuisunart pans that I bought.Thank you,Joyce Stewart

I love this line of Cuisinart cookware. The frying pan distributes heat really well, maintains the temp perfectly, and is really easy to clean. Excellent value!

I’ve been scared of stainless steel cookware for years. I was so convinced that cleaning would be hard and food would be stuck everywhere so I had been using Teflon coated pans for the last twenty years. But if you have Teflon pans you know over time they can warp and the Teflon starts to peel off. My husband really wanted a set of nice looking pans (he is such a boy and what is better looking than stainless steel) so we started to research.I purchased the Cuisinart MCP-12N Multiclad Pro Stainless Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set and it is fantastic. However the 8” skillet just isn’t quite big enough for some of my cooking needs. This 12” skillet is great as it matches the set I purchased and has exactly the same upkeep needs as my full set.We decided to go with the Cuisinart MCP-12N Multiclad Pro for a few reasons.1. It has the Tri-ply 18/10 stainless steel with the aluminum core.This was important to us because we wanted something that would last forever. I don’t want to have to buy pots and pans again and so I’m willing to spend a little more money on a nice set instead of purchasing a new Teflon pan every 4-5 years.From everything we researched you want at least the 18/10 and three layers for heat distribution and even cooking.2. We couldn’t beat the price for a set of this caliber and it was rated top for the price in two different magazines. I believe Better Home and Gardens was one of them the other was http://www.allcookwarefind.com/Stainless-SteelWe researched and this set was less money than the All Clad and Calphalon cookware with similar ratings and materials.3. Everything in the set could be placed in the oven.This is a nice feature. The handles are sturdy and made of the same stainless steel. They can be put in the over up to 500 degrees. I never thought I needed this function until I started cooking roasts and chicken in iron skillets it is great to be able to cook everything in one pan.4. There were extra matching pieces available to add to our set later.Now I have almost everything I need and still have the option of adding a 5 ½ quart sauce pan, dutch oven or a another pieces at a later date without breaking the bank.FYI:We went through about a dozen different youtube videos and found a few useful tidbits if this is your first stainless steel set.- ALWAYS season the pan prior to the first use or after a heavy cleaning. This is easy enough and there are thousands of videos on how to do it. We preheated the pan and added coconut oil. Turn the heat up a little and let the oil heat until smoking. Pour off the excess and then gently wipe with a paper towel and let cool. If done correctly you can even cook eggs on your pan without any sticking.- ALWAYS preheat the pan before cooking. This will minimize the any sticking and will help the heat distribution.- NEVER wash with dish soap. This will remove any seasoning you have done to the pan. When you are done cooking let the pan cool (DO NOT PUT FROM STOVE DIRECTLY INTO WATER this may warp the pan) then with a spatula or wooden spoon run any excess material off the bottom. If there is any stubborn residue you can add a little warm water or oil…heat until warm and then gently rub the material off.- GET Barkeepers Friend. This is a great way to restore your stainless steel to looking brand new.

This well made heavy duty pan is ample enough to fry a parted out chicken, and saute a lot of vegetables to get the moisture out. I love that this has no disk on the bottom I have to be concerned about overheating and leaking the contents of the disk out. It heats evenly and cleans easily. I have numerous cuisinart multiclad pans and have used them for years. These pieces will go to my sister when I die. No toxic coatings, fumes, residues and much less expensive than all xxxx brand.
