Poor quality deceptive description
Purchased this Cuisinart 8-inch "stainless steel" skillet ONLY 2-weeks ago to replace a Teflon coated pan that was starting to flake. What could possibly go wrong with a high-quality "stainless steel pan?" EVERYTHING! Immediately, with the very first use (to cook two pieces of tilapia) the stainless steel COATING inside began to chip / pit flake. Apparently I ate this. By the 6th use (only cooking fish or eggs) dozens of tiny pieces of stainless steel plating (approximately 1/8" in size) were missing (again, evidently consumed). And since stainless steel is non-ferrous, why in the world would a magnet stick to the pan? It's a steel pan with an extremely poor plating. Due to the DOZENS of spots of pitting / rusting / flaking, this pan will be going back to Meijer's after only being used six times. Evidentially Cuisinart is not what it used to be: Quality.

Nice stainless pan
I have had this pan for about a year. Stainless pans are my go to and I have this whole set. I took off one star because all of the other Cuisinart pans I purchased came with a lid and this one did not. The only one I can find costs more than the pan!! Where can I purchase a tempered glass lid to match the rest of the set?

Promo is deceiving
The photo is different from what I received. The promo is deceiving. I will return it.

Easy to clean, even when food is burned.
Easy to clean! Cooking eggs in butter, forgot to turn off, blackened skillet! But it scrubbed off with little effort. Great skillet!

Zero Stars
terrible skillet. everything was sticking to it. couldn't even scramble eggs in it. tried different temperatures on the stove and got the same bad result.
Response from Macy's
We’re sorry to hear you’ve had trouble cooking with the Chef’s Classic stainless steel skillet. Stainless steel is not inherently nonstick, so using a small amount of oil and preheating the pan can help reduce sticking, especially with eggs. Your feedback will be shared with our product team for future consideration.

Good for toasting bread
Not good to use for cooking food stick and hard to remove, even eggs stick at the bottom
Low quality pan
Sent wrong/incomplete item, (no lid included). Very lightweight and cheaply made. I didn’t expect high quality for the price but this item is ridiculous.

Does the job
I needed a stainless pan to replace a non-stick pan due to concerns about “PFAS”. There was some rainbow discoloration after the first couple of uses, but cleaning with water and vinegar took care of that and now the pan looks good as new. I’m satisfied with my purchase.
