The Cuisinart 5.5-Quart Sauté Pan with Cover is a stainless steel workhorse built for high-heat searing and slow simmering. Its flat cooking surface and straight sides maximize capacity while the helper handle adds balance when lifting, and the Flavor-Lock lid locks in moisture for healthier results. Designed for induction, electric, and gas cooktops, this pan suits home cooks who want one versatile piece for everything from chicken to vegetables.
Cuisinart 5.5 Quart Sauté Pan: Oven-Safe and Induction Compatible
This sauté pan is oven safe to 550°F and works on all cooktops, including induction. Measurement markings on the interior help you monitor liquid levels, while the tapered rim allows drip-free pouring. Solid stainless steel riveted handles stay cool on the stovetop and provide a secure grip.
Built for Performance
The aluminum-encapsulated base heats quickly and spreads heat evenly, eliminating hot spots for professional results. The cooking surface is non-reactive, so it won't discolor or alter the flavor of acidic foods like tomatoes or wine-based sauces. Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

Great pan
This pan heats evenly and the sides are high enough to prevent splatter. It's a good size for two.

Nice but the handle is loose
I love the pan itself, but the handle started to loosen after a few uses. I need to tighten it. Otherwise, it's a good pan.

Excellent sauté pan
This is the best sauté pan I've had. It sears beautifully and goes in the oven easily. The lid fits well. It's a bit heavy but that's expected. I use it almost daily.

Love the depth
The straight sides make it perfect for one-pan meals like skillet lasagna. It cleans easily too.

Good but not great
I wanted a pan that could also boil pasta, but it's not deep enough. But as a sauté pan, it's good. The handle stays cool, which is nice.

Great for curries
This pan has been a game changer for my Indian cooking. It heats evenly and the high sides keep splatter down. I've made many curries and sauces in it. The stainless steel is easy to clean if you know how to care for it.

Disappointed with the finish
I expected a smoother finish. The pan is fine, but my other Cuisinart has a brushed finish. This one shows water spots easily.

Perfect for Sunday gravy
I use this to make my grandmother's Sunday gravy. It browns the meat evenly and simmers beautifully. The size is perfect for a large family. I love this pan.
