Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart 722-36H Chef's Classic Stainless 14-Inch Open Skillet with Helper Handle
Customer Review: Takes up a lot of stove top real estate!
Summary: 4 Stars
Was looking for the 18/10 stainless rating on the box when I received the pan but it was nowhere to be found. It is prominantly displayed on the other Cuisinart pieces I have ordered so perhaps it is not. Regardless, it is a nice pan with which I can at last cook an entire sheet of chicken pieces at once. One concern was the size of the pan compared to the burner size. The largest burner is about 9 inches in diameter whereas the pan bottom is a full 12 inches. My concern was even heating especially when simmering. Well, I found I just need to adjust the burner a little higher than I was used to and stir things up a little more often to ensure the center doesn't get over heated. I am using a glass top electric BTW. Would definately recommend. Oh, since there is no top I use a lid to a large electric wok I have. It just happens to fit. If you need to know the pan is a litle over 14 inches at the very top diameter.
Customer Review: great skillet - healthy for you too ---

if your tired of not having enough room in the skillet, this is for you .... if you need a lid ..... a) the glass lid to the 14" cuisinart stir-fry works ok and you can see thru it ... it does no fit perfectly and it sits a little low, but it works fine if the skillet is not piled too high .... or b) get a 16" aluminum pizza pan ... to bad they dont make a glass lid to come with it that is a perfect fit ... i am so tired of wondering where all those MISSING pieces of "tefflon" went that i use nothing but stainless now .... and it does take a little more effort to keep it clean if you want to try and keep it looking like new ... but if you just want it CLEAN .... soak it 20 minutes, then wash it out ... you can even put it in the dishwasher without worrying about scratching the tefflon ...Customer Review: Great big skillet

We moved from an electric range to an area where everyone cooks with gas, and we wanted to take advantage of the ability to use skillets over 10". This 14" Cuisinart skillet has aluminum cladding on the outside that distributes the heat pretty evenly. The handle stays cool, and the second handle is very usful for shifting a large batch of meat to the pot after browning. We find it reasonably easy to clean, even after a messy batch of scrambled eggs.
The skillet really feels big - it has twice the surface area of our 10" Cuisinart, which we are also very happy with. You can easily brown a pound of meat without the liquid from the meat turning the whole thing into a stew. We are very pleased.
Customer Review: very large - just what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a VERY large pan. That being said, I have found it to be a great time saver for me. I can make up to five small pancakes in it, or finish things like sauces and potatoes very quickly to name a few recent things that have been in the pan. If there is any stuck on food say from something like potatoes with onions and garlic, I just soak it on low for a few minutes and it cleans up very nicely. In fact I seem to need very little oil for cooking things that might normally stick. When heated I can turn the pan down to medium and it holds the heat very nicely. I'm very pleased with my purchase from Warehouse Deals on Amazon.Customer Review: Nice big pan
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this pan a couple of weeks ago. I bought it because when I tried browning a butterflied pork tenderloin for 6 people in a 12 inch skillet, I had to do it in two batches. Kind of a pain. I have used this 14 inch pan a few times since then. It does a great job of browning chicken breasts in oil even without flour and heats fairly evenly. I agree with other reviewers that the pan does not require as much flame under it to heat it to a good browning temperature. Very satisfactory for the price of about 40 dollars. It has become a little discolored and does not heat absolutely evenly, but these are very tolerable defects.
