Our take on the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 12 Open Skillet

The Cuisinart Chef's Classic 12-inch open skillet is a stainless steel frying pan with an aluminum core and a nonstick coating, sized for family portions and one-pan dinners. The 12-inch surface gives room to sear four chicken thighs or a full pound of vegetables without crowding. At $18 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under what most 12-inch nonstick pans cost.

Questions and answers

Is this skillet worth buying at $18?
Yes, if you want a large nonstick pan for everyday cooking without spending much. At $18 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it costs less than most 12-inch nonstick skillets, so treat it as a pan you replace every few years rather than a lifetime piece.
How does it compare with the Cuisinart Chef's Classic 10-inch skillet?
The 12-inch version gives about 44 percent more cooking surface, which matters for searing meat or cooking for three or more people. The trade-off is weight and a wider footprint on the burner.
Is it oven-safe?
Yes, the stainless steel construction is oven-safe, but check the temperature limit for the nonstick coating and avoid broiler use. The handle will be hot when you take it out.
Can I use metal utensils in it?
No. The nonstick coating scratches, so use silicone, wood or plastic utensils. Hand wash it to keep the coating intact.
What's in the box?
The 12-inch open skillet only. No lid or accessories are included.
When is it cheapest?
Nonstick skillets like this one tend to drop during holiday sales and back-to-school promotions. The current $18 at eBay as of November 4, 2026 is already near the bottom of its recent range.
