What Others Say
Don't waste your money
Despite the bad reviews, I also tried this pan. It is awful - DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
To address issues other have had -
(1) It was perfectly flat out of the box, but warped as soon as medium heat was applied. Probably because it is so thin. Note the 10" crepe pan weighs as much as this monster of a pan, and appears to be at least 3 times thicker.
(2) It is way too thin to heat evenly - I think our heavy duty cookie sheets are just as thick! To check it out, I used an infrared thermometer and found out that once the hottest part of the pan reached about 350 (ideal for things like eggs and pancakes), there were parts that were 75 degrees cooler. This means burnt eggs and raw pancakes. Yum.
Big Uneven Pan....don't waste your money
I'm giving this pan one star for it's size. I wanted a very large pan...and it is. However it does not sit flat on my stove top. I have a ceramic top stove...this makes for uneven cooking. The oil pools to one side of the pan. Don't waste your money!!!! Another reviewer mentioned this, but I was hoping their pan was a defect. Obviously the pan is just made uneven. Again, don't waste your money....my suggestion: look for the WearEver nonstick 12 inch skillet which was select best skillet by Cook's Illustrated. A little smaller, not quite half the price, and EVEN.
Much too thin
I have the 8" model of this pan and I love it. But the 14" model is about half the thickness, which is too thin for me so I sent it back. I like the size though, so I guess I'll have to continue looking.
A great deal for a large pan
The only thing bad about the frying pan was the size, a little larger than is practical for most applications. The construction, match to others I have from this set and price were absolutely fantastic. If your stove can handle it, it is a great addition to the basic Cuisinart set.
big, non-stick pan..not flat
This pan is big...really big, which is what we were looking for. We knew it would be a little bigger than our burners (which it is), but were okay with that. The problem we have with this pan, is that it doesn't sit flat on the stove. Which really doesn't help the whole cooking process. I would not buy this pan again.
