Cuisinart 8" Stainless Steel Skillet — Induction-Ready, Aluminum-Core, Cool-Grip Handle

The Cuisinart 8-inch stainless steel open skillet is a compact, induction-ready frying pan with an aluminum-encapsulated base and cool-grip riveted handle for fast, even cooking and easy cleanup.

Inspired by classic French kitchen design, this 8" skillet pairs a polished stainless cooking surface with an aluminum core to speed heat response and reduce hot spots. Its mirror finish and riveted cool-grip handle give a professional look and secure handling, while compatibility with gas, electric and induction cooktops plus oven and dishwasher safety make it a versatile everyday pan.

How does this skillet deliver even heat for frying and sautéeing?

The skillet uses a pure aluminum encapsulated base beneath the stainless steel to pull heat across the pan quickly and uniformly. That construction minimizes cold patches and improves browning control so food cooks more predictably.

• Aluminum core for rapid heat distribution
• Stainless steel exterior withstands high temperatures
• Flat base designed for stable contact on all cooktops

Will this pan work on my induction cooktop and fit in the oven?

Yes — the skillet is induction-ready and built to perform on gas, electric and induction ranges. It’s also oven safe, allowing you to start dishes on the stovetop and finish them in the oven without transferring to another pan.

• Magnetic stainless steel surface suitable for induction
• Oven-safe construction for finishing and braising
• Compact 8" diameter ideal for small batches and single servings

How easy is cleanup and daily handling?

The mirror-finish stainless steel cooking surface resists discoloration and won’t react with food, and the pan is dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup. The solid riveted handle is designed to stay cool on the stovetop and gives a sturdy, comfortable grip.

• Dishwasher-safe exterior and interior for fast cleaning
• Cool-grip riveted stainless steel handle for safe lifting
• Polished finish maintains its appearance with regular care
