The Cuisinart French Classic Tri-Ply Stainless 12-Inch Fry Pan with Helper is a professional-grade skillet built for serious home cooks. Its tri-ply construction features a pure aluminum core sandwiched between layers of stainless steel, delivering rapid, even heating across the entire cooking surface.
Cuisinart French Classic 12-Inch Fry Pan: Professional Performance at Home
With Heat Surround Technology, this fry pan ensures no hot spots, making it perfect for searing steaks, sautéing vegetables, and flipping omelets. The 12-inch diameter offers plenty of room for family-sized portions, while the helper handle provides extra support when carrying or sliding the pan onto a cool burner.
Why Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Matters
Aluminum conducts heat efficiently, but it's softer and reactive. By cladding it with stainless steel, Cuisinart gives you the best of both worlds: fast, even heating and a durable, non-reactive surface that won't discolor food.
Compatible with All Cooktops, Oven-Safe, and Dishwasher-Safe
This fry pan works on gas, electric, glass, ceramic, and induction cooktops. It's also oven-safe up to 500°F and features stay-cool stainless handles riveted for a secure grip.
Simple Care for Years of Service
While this pan is dishwasher-safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water will keep the stainless steel looking polished. Use non-abrasive pads and dry immediately to prevent water spots. Since stainless steel is naturally not nonstick, heat the pan properly before adding oil to minimize sticking.
