Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless Steel Skillet, 8"

A stainless steel skillet is a great choice for frying and sautéing, especially when you want strong browning and the ability to build pan sauces. This one is designed to heat quickly and evenly thanks to its pure aluminum encapsulated base, so it is well suited to everyday stovetop cooking.

Yes. This stainless steel skillet is induction-ready, so it can be used on induction cooktops as well as for everyday stovetop cooking.

The pure aluminum encapsulated base is designed to promote fast, even heating. That helps the stainless steel skillet cook more consistently for tasks like sautéing vegetables or frying.

The measurement markings give you quick visual reference as you add liquids or build a sauce, so you can cook with fewer extra measuring tools. They are especially handy when you are adjusting amounts on the fly while something is already in the pan.

Riveted handles are designed to feel secure in hand and support balanced handling when you move the pan, pour off fat or slide food onto a plate. It is a simple detail that can make everyday cooking feel steadier and more controlled.

For best results, let the pan preheat, then add oil and allow it to warm before adding food. With a stainless steel skillet, giving ingredients time to brown can help them release naturally, and keeping the heat steady can improve control.
