Cuisinart 722-20 8-Inch Chef's-Classic-Stainless-Cookware-Collection, 8", Open Skillet

The perfect size to make scrambled eggs that come out great. While it's NOT non-stick, it's easy to clean with a little soaking and a steel wool pad ... and it doesn't scratch. It looks way more expensive than the very reasonaabe price. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with my latest cookware purchase! I initially bought a coated non-stick skillet that was marketed as scratch-proof and safe, but it didn't live up to those claims. On my first use, it scratched and damaged the coating, which was quite concerning, so I decided to return it. Instead, I opted for this 10-inch stainless steel skillet, and I'm so glad I did! It heats up very quickly, has no questionable coatings, doesn’t stick, doesn’t scratch, and is incredibly easy to clean. While this stainless steel skillet was more expensive, I’m happy to invest in quality.

Needed an oversize pan for Christmas eve dinner. Italians celebrate with the feast of 7 fishes. Family has 10 fish eaters. Menu included 10 lobster tails, 1-1/2lb gulf shrimp, jumbo scallops, mussels, little neck clams... I know that's only 5. Sauced with lots of garlic, white wine and fresh herbs.Pan fit all the ingredients, cooked perfect with no hot spots, well balanced handle that stays cool, with a helper handle for the heft...it looks gorgeous and cleans up well. If you have need of a really big pan you should buy this Cuisinart pan. (Since that meal I cooked up a Moroccan chicken, and yesterday for the NFL playoffs a 4-1/2lb pork roast green chili dish, browning the pork on my Coleman stove and finished cooking in my grille) Big Pan for a big meal... Love it.

We were looking for a good stainless steel 8” fry pan, and the leader, the All-clad 3-ply 18/10 SS product is just a little too expensive for us, so Cuisinart seemed to offer good quality stainless at the lower price point (while still being 3-ply and at least 18/8 SS. That said, Cuisinart appears to offer a few choices of product lines. Other than price, I could not assess the quality and design of the pans, so I bought the three choices offered: the ‘Cuisinart MultiClad Pro 8-inch’ (about $30), the ‘Cuisinart Professional Stainless Skillet, 8-Inch’, (about $23) and the ‘Cuisinart 722-20 8-Inch Chef's-Classic-Stainless-Cookware-Collection, 8" (at about $21), Open Skillet’. The Professional and the Classic pans appear to be approximately the same build quality, except the handle of the Professional is more substantial ergonomically (more comfortable), and of a hollow construction - keeping it lightweight. The Classic handle was more of a cast or pressed bar (still pretty good compared to many other pans I have ever held), but clearly the Professional has an advantage in this aspect. The pan ‘build’ of these two pans appears to be a thinner gauge stainless (compared to the MultiClad), with an aluminum / stainless ply bottom somehow bonded to the bottom (a common construction of pan I observe - probably a more economical build). The Multiclad pan is a seamless, contiguous molded or pressed shape; the sides are clearly thicker than the other two. The weights of the pans I measured to be 24.2oz for the “professional’, 21.2oz for the Classic, and 29.6oz for the MultiClad. Since I only kept the Multiclad, I only tried cooking with this model, and it’s excellent. i think all three pans are great, well-made pans (for the money), but clearly the Multiclad is the best one.

My absolute favorite pan I have ordered it and every single size!! it does not come with a lid, but it is super comfortable. The skillet quality is absolutely amazing. The taste of the food comes out crispy. It works well and I have not seen it. Rust.

I use Cuisinart 722-20 8-Inch Chef's-Classic-Stainless-Cookware-Collection all the time when at home. This is the best Stainless Cookware I've have had, food doesn't stick when cooking like other Stainless Cookware. Easy to clean.

Just opened the package, seems good quality, its a little heavy but well built .

I recently purchased the Cuisinart 722-20 8-Inch Chef's Classic Stainless Steel Open Skillet and received it with a minor dent on the lip of the pan (see attached photo). While the dent doesn't affect the basic cooking functionality since it's not on the cooking surface, it does impact my overall experience and satisfaction with the product.The skillet itself performs well - it has good heat distribution, a comfortable handle, and solid construction. The stainless steel surface is easy to clean and doesn't react with acidic foods. It has a good weight and balance that make it feel like a quality kitchen tool.However, I'm deducting two stars because receiving damaged merchandise diminishes the value and enjoyment of a new purchase. For a respected brand like Cuisinart at this price point, I expect products to arrive in perfect condition. Even though the dent is relatively small, it's visible every time I use or hang the pan, serving as a constant reminder of poor quality control.If you're considering this skillet, be aware that packaging or inspection issues may be present. The performance is good, but the overall experience may be compromised.
