Perfect pan for cooking 2 eggs or veggies for 1

I love this little pan! I had my first one for years before finally replacing it. As with any nonstick cookware, the enamel does start to wear after a lot of use, but this pan gets near daily use and lasted for years before I was no longer happy with the cooking surface. The perfect size for cooking 2 eggs over easy (it's most common job in our household) but is also a good size to saute up veggies for 1, toast nuts, or cook other small quantities. Great non-stick coating, and a great size to add to your collection.

Quality Skillet

We purchased several sizes of Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick skillet pans. They all work very well, easy to clean, cook evenly and seem to hold up to use well. I will follow up on this review after we have used the skillets to see if the durability is really 5 stars. We would recommend these skillets.

Love this pan!

This pan is a great workhorse, used virtually every day for breakfast, and sometimes lunch. It heats quickly and evenly on our electric cooktop, has excellent balance, NEVER sticks to ANYTHING, and wipes clean with a paper towel. Love the gently flared sides that allow a spatula to get under the omelets, sautés or grilled cheeses with ease. We have its 12" big brother and use it for almost anything needed for larger meals. Pretty tough coating, too - hard to scratch it unless you use metal utensils.

Doesn't work with induction cooktops.

Unfortunately doesn't work with induction cooktops even though someone in the questions section said it did.

The perfect non-stick pan?

I am not a scientist, but the non-stick coating of this line of pans from Cuisinart is superior to any we have owned. AND the pans can be used with metal utensils. That's not to say you can't do intentional damage to it if your are over-zealous, but no other pan that I know of offers this bonus. Also the curvature is perfect for working with eggs then sliding them out of the pan and onto the plate. Our first one of these lasted forever (15+ years?). So now we have two 8-inchers that we interchange and use daily. Also you also don't really have to wash them; a double cleaning with paper towels does the trick.

A great skillet

I love this 8 inch skillet. The non-stick properties are fantastic. One of my favorite meals to cook in it is pan fried thick pork chops. I sear them on the stove top then finish them off in the oven. Cleanup is an absolute breeze. Wipe it down with a paper towel then wash it in the sink. No scrubbing and no stuck on bits.

Exceeded my expectations

Hilarious oxymoronic out of the packaging. There is a non-stick sticker stuck to the non-stick surface that said “non-stick”. Aside from that, it’s honestly a very awesome product, I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it is at the price I paid for. I cook a lot of eggs and they slip and slide around the surface, pretty fantastic purchase

Cheap nonstick is the way to go

The thing about nonstick materials is that if it won't stick to food then it won't stick to the pan. Because of this, the best nonstick surfaces for cooking don't last very long. The best nonstick pan I ever owned I found in a restaurant supply shop several states away from my present home. Ugly, cheap, but nothing would stick to it. Lasted about 6 months. I've never found an on line supplier for it, so I've settled for the Cuisinart pan being reviewed here. I use the 8" every day. It is not as slippery as the (even cheaper) supply house pan but when stuff starts sticking to it I just throw it in the trash and click on Amazon to order another for twenty bucks. Nonstick pans aren't like 30 year old cast iron skillets or copper pots. They are like towels or plastic cutting boards. Don't try to push them beyond their natural life span.

One of the best crepe pans around

My children just counted...I have made over 5000 crepes in my life. Obviously they are a family favorite. I make them for all holidays, weddings, and whenever the grandchildren are over. I am very particular at this point about the skillet I use. I have used Cuisinart skillets for many years. I recently purchased this one for my son who lives in another state. The plan, my son says, is so that I can have the right pan to use when I come to visit. I would recommend this pan for any hard core crepe maker. It holds up well, enduring 4 hour long stints of flipping crepes. It cleans nicely, the handle doesn't get too hot, and they store easily inside each other. I am happy with the service, delivery and product. I would buy from this seller again.

Satisfied & met expectations

Nice pan to cook eggs -which we use it for mostly. Slippery surface and heats evenly. Handle stays cool to the touch. Note: we never put non-stick pans in the dishwasher. Hand clean only: to protect the non-stick finish. Would buy again.
