When Multiclad isn't available...
»
First off, I am a devoted Cuisinart cookware fan; I own nonstick hard-anodized, stainless steel and Multiclad pieces. I bought this piece because I couldn't find a Multiclad Chef's pan in any size.
It's very nice - great, mirrored finish interior & attractive brushed exterior, with a safe, good-fitting (not too tight) mirrored lid. It's lighter than Multiclad in weight, as you'd expect from stainless steel. Heating is even, the capacity is generous and the shape accommodates most utensils down in the 'seam' where the pan bottom meets the bowl. If you know how to cook with & care for stainless steel, Cuisinart's will not disappoint you -- it's very forgiving and easy to clean.
I tend to use my glass lid (their lids are completely interchangeable) when cooking with this, and I think it's a little too small to use in place of a wok, unless you're only cooking a meal for one or two people. But it's versatile and effective, and fits a valuable niche in my kitchen.
Now, if only it was available in the Multiclad line....

excellent quality cookware

I love this line of stainless cookware. I bought a 10 pc set, loved it so much I keep looking for more pieces to add. It is very good quality, cleans up beautifully and I'm sure it will outlast me. This particular piece is great for a variety of uses. It is already one of my favorites.

Pretty Decent
»
This was the 16th & 17th piece added to my growing Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless set of cookware.
The first time it was used was to make a double recipe of Tapioca. After adding the 5 1/2 cups of milk, I could see that I was going to be stirring contantly "up close to the edge" so I transferred the mixture to my 3 qt sauce pan.
I'm sure the saucier will be very useful in the future, but at the time I was stirring the Tapioca, I wished the overall dimension across the top was 1/2" - 3/4" narrower - making the height of the pan taller. 5 stars, otherwise.
