Cuisinart 722-30HNS Chef's Classic Nonstick Skillet

Yes, this skillet is fully induction compatible. Its aluminum-encapsulated base is designed to work efficiently across all major heat sources, including induction, gas, electric, and ceramic stovetops.

While the Quantanium nonstick coating is designed for durability, we recommend using silicone, nylon, or wooden utensils to extend the life of the surface. Metal utensils can scratch and compromise the nonstick performance over time.

This skillet is oven safe up to 500°F. This makes it versatile enough for finishing dishes like frittatas or searing steaks that need to be transferred from the stovetop to the oven.

Yes, the helper handle is a practical addition for a 12-inch pan. It provides extra stability and makes it much easier to lift or maneuver the skillet safely, especially when it is full or heavy.

While the manufacturer states it is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge is the best way to preserve the nonstick coating and the stainless steel finish. Dishwashers can be harsh on nonstick surfaces over repeated cycles.

The rim is tapered, which allows you to pour sauces, pan juices, or liquids cleanly without them running down the side of the pan. It helps keep your stovetop and countertops cleaner during cooking.
