Cuisinart French Classic 3-Ply Stainless Steel Skillet, 12"

A 3-ply stainless steel skillet is a great choice for omelets, burgers, crepes and sautéing vegetables. It’s built for everyday cooking where you want steady heat and control, whether you’re cooking gently or aiming for a deeper sear.

On a stainless steel skillet, 3-ply refers to a three-layer bonded construction. Many cooks like tri-ply cookware for its sturdy feel and reliable heat control in a pan they plan to use often.

Exceptional Heat Surround Technology is designed to distribute heat evenly along the bottom and side walls of the stainless steel skillet. That helps promote more consistent cooking across the pan, especially when you’re sautéing foods that move up the sides as you stir.

The Stay-Cool Stainless Handles are designed to remain cool on your stovetop and provide a comfortable grip. For the most comfortable handling, keep the handle positioned away from a neighboring burner when possible.

Start by preheating the stainless steel skillet, then add a thin layer of oil before adding food. Let ingredients cook undisturbed until they release more easily, which can help with browning and make flipping simpler, especially for eggs and other delicate foods.
