Cuisinart Preferred Pan 4-Pc Set - Crème de la Creme (4.5 Qt. Multi-Purpose Pan w/Cover, Steamer, Slotted Turner)

Light weight, but holds quite a bit. Has multiple uses which cuts down on the number of pans to use. Washing is a breeze, very satisfied.

This pan is elegant but also a perfect steamer. It is just the right size for most applications. I nearly gave it 4 stars for the spoon and rather useless spoon rest on the lid but since I don’t use it, it doesn’t change my review.

I was not expecting I would like this 4.5 qtr size and was going to return it. But I love it. Got it in sienna sky which is almost pink. Love the quality and feel of this pot for my plans to make soups.

I’m answering my own question that neither the Amz Bot 🤖 could answer, nor was mentioned in any of the reviews I read: Yes, it is Induction Ready! This is why I wanted this large pan, but I am thrilled about the quality stainless steel steamer/stainer. I just tested pan, lid, & steamer with the “boil a mug* of water” test to be sure it will work on my induction hob I use car camping & traveling. While 4.5qt pot is bigger than I preferred (wanted a 2.5 or 3qt pan), I can make this work because it isn’t too heavy & the pan is balanced when I lifted it off of induction burner shown. And it was on sale. Rating: 4 stars for now based on what is mentioned above about performance during today’s out of box testing. I’m traveling now & will continue to use to cook our meals on the way back home.*Mug in pictures is standard USA coffee mug size & to show size comparison.

Large size works great for steaming vegetables, someone on the thin side little bit thicker would be an asset

The media could not be loaded. Pardon me being silly in the video, I sent it to a friend first! This skillet is fantastic. I made an omelette and no sticking at all. I like the high sides since things tend to go flying when I sautee them with passion, lol! Very heavy and I love the pour spouts on the side. Only downside is I don’t get as many brown bits in the bottom when I sear something, I actually like to scrape those up for extra flavor. But I see this being really the only skillet I need. I leave it out on top of my stove because the color is so pretty and matches my kitchen.

PAID 49.95. The pan is pretty awesome! I heated the pan for two minutes and added tiny bit of olive oil and cooked cheesy eggs and potatoes. It did not stick at all and the food tasted amazing. Worth buying.

Right out of the box we put the pot to use. Everything washed very easily and the strainer/steamer sat nicely in the pot for a couple packages of ravioli. Placed the lid on top to minimize the boiling time and the only issue was there was too much water so it spilled out during transport to the sink. Since we cooked a lot of ravioli at once, there was a bit too much water, but it did not spill over on the stovetop. The pasta came out perfectly and it was easy to pull the strainer up to drain. Clean up on the pot was a breeze and chose to put the strainer in the dishwasher. We liked the slot on top of the lid to hold our cooking utensil. The silicone handles stayed at a comfortable temparture. Really looking forward to using this pot to boil, saute, and steam for many years to come!
