With the Chefs Classic Nonstick Stainless line from Cuisinart, you get a pan with an Excalibur nonstick cooking surface, reinforced with stainless steel so food cooks evenly then releases with no stuck-on messes. This sauce pan is an essential piece, used for heating a zesty marinara, making a vanilla custard or heating leftovers. The sauce pan comes with a snug-fitting lid so you can cover to simmer slowly. It has a long, double-riveted handle, positioned for perfect balance as you lift.
