Cuisinart FusionElite Skillet

Tri-ply construction means the pan is made of three bonded layers: a stainless steel exterior, an aluminum core, and a stainless steel interior. This design allows the pan to heat up quickly and evenly across the entire surface, eliminating hot spots that can burn food.

Yes, the FusionElite features a scratch-resistant nonstick coating designed to withstand the rigors of everyday cooking. While it is durable, we still recommend using silicone or wooden utensils to extend the life of the surface.

At 12 inches, this skillet can get quite heavy when filled with food. The helper handle provides a secure, balanced grip, making it much safer and easier to transfer the pan from your stovetop to the table or counter.

Yes, the stainless steel exterior is induction-compatible. It works efficiently on all standard stovetops, including gas, electric, and glass-ceramic ranges.

Because the interior is nonstick, cleanup is straightforward—usually just warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. For the exterior, you can use a standard stainless steel cleaner if you notice any discoloration or heat stains over time.
