Overview
A small apartment kitchen or a single-serving breakfast is where an eight inch skillet like this fits. Cuisinart uses stainless steel with an aluminum encapsulated base for fast, even heating, and adds measurement markings.
The base spreads heat evenly and removes hot spots, and the pan is ready for induction. Because the surface is bare stainless steel, food can stick, and the skillet is sized for one or two people.
Who it's for
Singles and couples who sauté, brown or fry small portions and prefer stainless steel to coated pans. People cooking for a family will find the surface small.
Pros and cons
- Stainless steel, no coating
- Aluminum base evens out heat
- Works on induction
- Small cooking surface
- Handle heat not described
Performance notes
An aluminum core in the base moves heat quickly across the floor of the pan, which reduces hot spots. Stainless steel needs preheating and enough oil to release food, and the pan handles high searing heat up to the listed limit.
