- Is this skillet oven safe?
- Yes. The pan is oven safe, so you can finish frittatas or broil a steak after searing. Use a mitt, since the handle gets hot.
- Can I use metal utensils in it?
- Better not. The nonstick coating scratches with metal, so use silicone, wood or plastic to make it last.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- No. Hand wash it to protect the coating; dishwasher detergent and heat shorten its life.
- Does it come with a lid?
- No. It is a bare skillet, so buy a lid separately if you want one for braising or steaming.
- How does it compare with a tri-ply stainless skillet?
- It releases sticky food better and heats faster, but stainless browns more evenly and survives metal utensils and high heat.
- What size cooking jobs is 10 inches good for?
- It handles two eggs, a full omelet, a couple of chops or a small sauté. For family-sized batches, step up to 12 inches.
- Where is the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Hard-Anodized Aluminum Nonstick Skillet 10-Inch cheapest?
- At Cuisinart, for $54.95, as of our latest check.
