Cuisinart 735-24 Chef's Classic Stainless 3-Quart Chef's Pan with Cover

I love the pan as I love all of my Cuisinart set. This pan is not quite as thick as my set, but it is still a good pan. A few heavy-thickness pans are better many thin ones. You can do so much more with them. The only problem is that I can't use the lid when I'm boiling water. Two times now it has gotten stuck fast due to the vacuum created while cooking. Somewhere I read that might happen, so I was prepared. I tried many tips to get it loose that I found on the Internet and even called Cuisinart. The hard part is the more you move the lid, the tighter the suction gets. Finally my son was able to pry it off without damaging the top. After going through this twice, I only use it as an open sauce pan now and choose another if I want a lid. Yes, it got a couple black spots, but they don't affect the performance and I don't need showroom perfect pans. The bigger issue for me is that they clean the easiest of ANY pan I've ever owned by simply following the directions (just add water after cooking and let it set a bit.) The food comes right off, and I've never had to use anything but a soft scrubby on them. Don't use HIGH heat, just medium-high at the most per the directions. They heat very quickly. I've burnt them BADLY (not on high heat, just by letting them go too long) and they still clean like a dream. It's as simple as adding baking soda and water, then boiling about 10 min. or so til the water has gone down. Then use your soft scrubby on the empty pan. The burnt-on thick black food flakes off and cleans up like a champ. And if you forget to add water and the food dries on, just add the water, put the lid on, and leave it for a few hours. When you come back, they clean up easy peasy. I'd buy this pan again if I needed to. Update 1/15/26: Cuisinart are still my favorite pans, alongside a cast iron one I bought. The Cuisinart pans STILL clean as easy as ever. I've burned them more than a few times unfortunately, but my instructions above always save the day. I've never needed anything more than a blue Scotchbrite soft no-scratch pad on them, and they still shine beautifully. Love these pans!!

This is a great pot. It's the perfect size for really anything. You can cook pasta, make porridge, saute, make soup for 2-3 people. It's a great size for the in between. It's not heavy which is great, the lid is great. I did burn something in there once and I still see some residue on there, even though I scrubbed quite hard, but overall it's a great pot! I'm inclined to buy another one. This is a great pot. It's the perfect size for really anything. You can cook pasta, make porridge, saute, make soup for 2-3 people.

This 3qt reduction sauce pan is perfect for making my favorite sauce. Very good quality stainless. The pan heats fast and evenly. Easy to clean.

I'm a HUGE fan of homemade mac & cheese, as well as meat gravies of all types. This pan is amazing for my fav foods- the wide gentle slope fits my favorite whisks well so I can avoid the dreaded crusty burnt corners that often formed when making a half gallon of cheese sauce in a straight sided sauce pan. It's also fantastic for reducing stocks- I use it to cook down chicken, ham, and other meat stock before freezing (saves freeze space, and can I can easily reconstitute it later). As someone who has worked in pro kitchens for (longer than I like to admit) I readily admit there are higher quality saucier-type pans out there, but I bought this for $20-$25 bucks and it's one of the best values/excellent return on investment pieces in my home kitchen. While I don't use the lid very often, but it's well fitting and of a much better quality than I expected for cookware in this price range. Overall, it's a great piece for cooks don't want to spend $80 on a (fancy brand) saucier but want to try cookware of this type, highly recommended. I can't address the issues with dishwashers other reviewers have brought up as I NEVER put any of my pots/pans through the dishwasher because I was taught that is bad for them- so skip the dishwasher and you'll likely be fine.

The Chef's Pan is basically a conical bowled sauté pan. It's great for making sauces, especially when you need to reduce the liquid volume to intensify the flavour. I always found this hard to judge (how do you accurately estimate when you have reduced the liquid by 75% - without constantly pouring the contents into a measuring jug?). But this pan has measurement graduations etched into the inside of the bowl - so problem solved. The pan is also very well made. So overall, very good value for money.

Compre varios juegos y la verdad es una excelente marca, nos ha gustado mucho porque no necesita ni tanto aceite o mantequilla pra preparar comida, la recomiendo mucho

Love this pan. It is easy to clean and does the job. Great price point as well, look at others which were over $200!

Its worthy

Have been using this pan for 2 years now for my everyday cooking. Love that it is stainless steel, not too heavy and the perfect size to cook dishes for 4 member family. Easy to clean, not too bulk and the lid fits perfectly for a tight seal. Highly recommend.
