The Cuisinart MCP22-30HCN Multiclad Pro Triple Ply 12-Inch Skillet with Cover and Helper Handle is built for home cooks who want professional performance. Its tri-ply construction—a core of pure aluminum bonded to stainless steel on both sides—delivers even heat across the bottom and sidewalls, reducing hot spots. The polished 18/10 stainless cooking surface is non-reactive, so it won't discolor food or alter flavors. It's a go-to pan for searing steaks, simmering sauces, or cooking for a crowd.
Cuisinart MCP22-30HCN Care: Keeping Your Stainless Skillet in Top Shape
Although the pan is dishwasher-safe, hand-washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge will preserve the mirror finish. Avoid steel wool and abrasive pads. Dry immediately to prevent water spots. To reduce sticking, preheat the pan over medium heat, add oil after it's warm, and let the pan heat before adding food.
Why a Helper Handle and Cover Matter
The helper handle gives you a secure second grip when the pan is full, and the stainless cover locks in moisture for braising and simmering. You can also see food at a glance without lifting the lid.
Compatible With All Cooktops
This tri-ply skillet works on induction, gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. It's also oven-safe, making it easy to start on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
