Cooks Standard Classic Stainless Steel Saute Pan 11-inch, 5 Quart Induction Cookware Deep Frying Pan Cooking Skillet with Lid, Stay-Cool Handle

Love this pan. It is perfect for what I needed. The size is just right. I wanted a "fry" pan that I could also cook stews and meat sauces in. This does the job. Heavy duty and easy to clean. I would prefer a glass top, but I happen to have one that fits just fine.

I rarely review products but this pan is so exceptional that I felt I needed to let people know. Prior to buying it, I had never used stainless steel. Every pan or pot I've ever used was non-stick. I could not get a great sear on my chicken or steak so I started trying new pans. I tried ceramic coated, copper, and Blue Diamond to name a few. I wasn't in love with any of them. I was afraid to try stainless because everyone says it's impossible to clean and food always sticks. I read the description for this pan and the seller gave very specific yet simple instructions for how to keep food from sticking and how to clean the pan. I took a chance, and I am sure glad I did! I've been using it every day for almost a month. I've cooked steak, potatoes, eggs, burgers, sausage, grilled cheese, and all kinds of other things in this pan. I've never had food stick and it's never been a problem to clean BUT I followed the seller's instructions. If you don't then those issues might become a problem. The instructions are simple. They work. You'll end up with the best tasting, most evenly cooked food you've ever made and an easy-to-clean pan. I will be buying these in every size I can get and I will NEVER own a different kind of pan or pot. This pan is a total game changer. The bottom is heavy so it stays at a consistent temperature. It cooks more evenly than anything I've ever used. It sears beautifully. It is extremely well made. It is oven safe to 500°. The seller gives you all the info you need to cook with and clean it. The instructions the seller provides are so simple and easy to follow. Just an amazing pan from a fantastic seller. As a side note, I do not know the seller, am not receiving anything for my review, and I paid the full price for this pan. I know there are a ton of reviewers out there that are paid or get free stuff to review. I am not one of them.

I love this skillet. It beats evenly, it's huge enough to make several burgers at once, and it looks amazing after daily use for over a year. The helper handle is a bonus, and the lid is solid! It prevents most steam from escaping.The steel is solid and doesn't scratch easily. You don't have to be as fussy with it as you do with nonstick pans, so metal utensils and a good scrubbing after use keep it looking good.You don't have to worry about coatings flaking off and making your food taste like burnt plastic. It doesn't warp easily (unless you subject it to unreasonably high heats when it's empty--ask me how I know).This is not a nonstick pan. It's important to understand that. Food will stick to this pan. You can minimize sticking by heating the pan, then adding your oil and allowing it to heat up before you add your food.

This is a very nice pan but it does have a tendency to pick up heat from the next burner since it is so wide. Even switching to other side had some burning and was a issue to clean. Otherwise it is well made and looks to be a life long pan. I was able to get it cleaned in the end as well and was very helpful in making larger dishes as it is my largest sauce pan. Also is a bit heavy so it is good to have the small handle on other end for stability moving. Very good value as well and I had little heat exchange to the vented handle . I would still use a glove to be safe.

It's been great. It sits flat on the stove and the handle is sturdy. It can go from the stove top to the oven and back again on account of it being stainless steal, so you can basically use it for anything (as good stainless steel should be.) And it won't rust on account of it being stainless steel. Best of all, there's no dumb non-stick coating that you have to worry about.Cooling with stainless is a learning curve, so don't expect to be a pro the first twenty times. But keep at it.

I am over whelmed with this pan. So happy I finally purchased after checking out others that were the same size, only pricier. Only wish I had purchased sooner. The handle on my old one came loose, or else I would still be using it in in spite of its horrible condition. This pan is amazing. I've used it twice already, and it cooks so much better than my old one. Heavy steel, easy cleanup. great cooking results, and priced so right. If you love to cook, like I do, you will be very happy with this pan, highly recommend.

Our 50+ year old stainless steel large skill was not working with our new induction stove. I ended up ordering this one. Wow! It was bigger and heavier than I'd thought. I was a little worried we might not use it. But we do and it is great. We did get some smaller skillets for other needs but this one has come in handy more than I expected.

I am impressed. I did not have high expectations due to the low cost, but these Cooks Standard Stainless Steel pans are great! They look expensive and have a nice feel. I was considering another brand that costs a lot more, but thought I would give this a try first before going all in on the luxury brands. I have cooked with the large saute pan several times now. Excellent! I bought the stock pot too and it is very nice. The lid to my saute pan has a Cooks Standard black logo stamp on it. That is the only thing that I do not like. It is an odd location and does not look nice. It makes the lid look cheap. The stock pot’s lid does not have a logo stamp on it. Other than that, this cooks well and has a professional feel and appearance. It is also easy to clean. I am happy with this purchase.
