CUISINARTMCP22-24N MultiClad Pro Stainless Open Skillet 5.5-Quart Silver MCP33-30HN

In 2003 we bought an entire set of Cuisinart stainless steel pots and pans. They ended up being the best we have even owned and we still use them today. Outstanding heat distribution, durability and easy of cleaning. No matter what we cooked in them we could easily clean them; rinsing them out, adding about an inch of water and a tablespoon of salt, bring the water to a boil and then let it cool. After that it really only took a quick wipe with a soapy sponge, cold water rinse, drip dry and it was good as new. After over 15 years of reliable use I mistakenly forgot about the pan while boiling the water to clean it and it boiled dry and started smoking. Without thinking I ran water over the pan and that severely warped the bottom... A mistake I will never live down... Anyway I quickly purchased a replacement but it wasn't the same. After about a year of use the bottom was warped and the inside had a few pock marks in the metal. Just not the same quality... We later purchase a second 5 1/2 qt multi-purposed pot and that quality was lacking as well. Come to find out, the original set wasn't the "Classic" style but the more expensive MultiClad Pro. Eureka! I found the outstanding Cuisinart cookware I've been looking for. This is the higher quality I've come to expect from Cuisinart. I'm buying more as I type...

Muy bueno

En general este es un buen valor, el ajuste y acabado puede mejorarse con mayores niveles o control de la calidad de las normas de calidad vigentes. El mango no está completamente pulido, ni son los bordes como lisas o pulidas como debe ser una pieza a este precio. Me decepciona en la calidad del acero inoxidable. No es el antiguo estándar de 18/10 o lo que llaman las nuevas normas. Ahora es compatible con la inducción y no el mejor acero inoxidable para la durabilidad. El acero inoxidable arañazos muy fácilmente, que es una verdadera decepción. Las parrillas de baja calidad en la estufa arañazos este pan, casi tan fácilmente como el aluminio.

I bought one of the lower-grade Cuisinart SS sets about 5 years ago. Every piece is still intact, unwarped, and shiny. Great value for the money. I'm cooking for 5-6 people now, and needed a larger pan to feed the masses.This pan has done an excellent job browning several varieties of meat. 3 pounds of meat? - no problem! Pan conducts heat extremely well. It takes some practice to avoid sticking/burning, but I'm getting better with each use. Just keep in mind that high heat will scorch food instantly, and may destroy the pan over time. Not meant for high-heat applications, like shallow-fat frying or steak searing. Also, forget about frying eggs. Choose another tool for those jobs.Very well-built, with thick steel and massive rivets. The lid fits tightly (great for slow-cooking), and the huge lid handle keeps your man-size fingers from getting burned. Main handle remains cool after several hours on the cooktop. It's a heavy pan, but the assist handle makes it manageable. I looked at All-Clad and others, and I'm laughing all the way to the bank. With care, this item should last long enough to pass down. Imagine paying 200+ bucks for a similar pan?

Love this pan. Went from a 10” to this and have been able to make meals without crowding. The heat gets distributed evenly. Heavy duty! It is quite heavy. I’ve used it 3-4 times now and every time I say to my wife that I love this pan! No research required anymore for you. Just get it!
