Cuisinart’s Chef’s Classic cookware is for experienced cooks who desire professional-level cookware and understand the benefits of this triple-ply construction. This 12-inch pan is aptly named as it cooks just about everything and will easily become the most used pan in the kitchen. The shallow sides make it useful for cooking a variety of dishes, from sauteéing salmon with ginger to pan-frying four lamb chops to setting a six-egg sausage and pepper frittata. Add the high, domed stainless-steel lid to seal in nutrients and flavors and the pan braises chicken or heats a shrimp and rice pilaf to perfection. The gorgeous 18/10 stainless-steel exterior looks impressive and also offers excellent cooking performance and an easy surface to clean. A pure aluminum encapsulated base provides even heat distribution. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior allows cooks to use any ingredient in this pot without fear of discoloration, acidic flavors, or reactions taking place. The lid fits tightly on the pot’s rim and the drip-free rim is tapered for pouring without worry about spilling. The everything pan’s solid stainless-steel loop handle and helper handle have stay-cool grips and are oven-safe to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. --Cristina Vaamonde
