Cookware Reviews

I have many of the items from the Multiclad line and this is one of the best pieces. For making small amounts of food, this saucier is awesome. If you have the matching top, it's even better. And the price is great.

This is not the most beautiful pan in the world, but it is extremely practical. It is not too heavy to hold when full, is large enough for most dishes you will prepare, and is easy to clean. I use this pan all the time.

I have this pan and I love it. It is small but perfect for making small orders of tomato sauce, gravies, sauted garlic in olive oil, stewed fruit, etc. There are many uses for it, and it cooks great. No hot spots, burns, etc. Cleans up easily. The lid that goes with the Multiclad 2 Qt. Saute pan also fits this pan. I think is is a good value for the money, and every bit as good as All-Clad.

I recently purchased several Cuisinart MultiClad pans. The first was the 12 1/2" skillet from our local Linen's & Things. I made the purchase because it was stainless and made well. Also, it was 50% off. It did not come with a lid so I came to Amazon.com for a lid. I ended up purchasing a Multiclad 12 1/2" braisier because it came with a lid and was cheaper than buying a lid from cuisinart directly. After using the pans several times I decided that I would purchase a 10-in and 8-in skillet as well. None of the skillets come with lids, so I purchased(from Amazon.com)Farberware stainless lids in the same sizes. They fit good and have come in handy in preventing splatter. Even though the Farberware lids fit, I wish that they were Cuisinart lids because the lid that came with the braisier pan can be put in the oven above 350 degrees(the limitation on the Farberware lids).

I have Farberware sauce pans and like them very much, but I like the Cuisinart skillets are much much better than the Farberware skillets.

The Cuisinart pans clean up great in the dishwasher as well. Although, the directions say that all you have to do is add hot water and some dishwashing liquid and let sit. I have done this as well and it works too.

I have also used the pans in the oven to warm up soft tortillas for fajaitas and it works good for that too. Remember that the handles get HOT. I mean hot even after sitting on the counter for 15 mintes, you could burn yourself if you don't use hot pads.

All in all, I would highly recommend the Multiclad line to anyone who wants value at a great price. These are pans that will last quite a while and not need replacing anytime soon.

this is the 1st pan of without nonstick i have for omelettes. just made my one. i did use some oil spray (though i will try w/o it next time) and it was the best omelette ever. perfectly even all around. i cannot lay sufficient praise here. i will buy
this brand next time - no need for the nonstick type (i hear health related worries).

This is the second multiclad piece I have purchased. There is no doubt in my mind that I should have gotten a complete set. This pan will not burn an egg unless you try very hard to do so. The egg slides around the pan throughout cooking. In the multiclad windsor pan I have, even thick cream soups refuse to scorch. Cleaneup, therefore, is a quick swish. The structure of the pan is rock solid and it is beautiful. Combined with affordable price, who needs All-Clad?

I often cook by starting an item on the stove and finishing in the oven. This pan combines non-stick with a handle that will go in the oven and is a great size for feeding 4 to 6. The non-stick surface has been very robust and performs flawlessly. The clad pan cooks evenly and browns like few other non-stick pans. I have used several commercial aluminum non-stick pans in the past for stove-to-oven, but none of them perform as well as this one. This is now my go-to pan in the 12 inch size and I'd get a 10-inch if I didn't already have an All Clad. My one criticism is that the handle is not quite as comfortable or secure in hand as the All Clad handle, but its a minor flaw, and easily overlooked in a pan about half the price! Highly recommended.

This pan is so easy to clean inside and out. Worth it!

I love my Emerilware frying pan. It's solid, non-stick and big, so that it makes making eggs a breeze! Cleans up easily and the handle stays cool while cooking, and it has a loop so you can hang it on a rack. The only thing I'm not crazy about is that it says Emeril in script on the bottom of the outside of the pan, so when you hang it, it shows. I also wish I could get a lid for it. But, otherwise it's exceptional and for the price it's really worth it.

Having gone through MANY kitchen utensils bought at the local department stores, this one is WELL WORTH the extra investment!

I just love the different kitchen utensils that I now own from this line. The handles are just great, easy to hold, and they seem to work great for any size hand. My husband, and even my 9 year old daughter has used these with ease. When using with non stick cookware, there has been no problem at all with any scratching. Emeril, you out did your self on these.. Great value!! I highly recommend...

No matter whatI am making, if it be my candied yams. Or a haerty stew, I have yet to find any thing that I or someone
in the family makes that will not come right off from the spoon.

This is a really affordable alternative to the All-Clad 12 inch Stainless steel pan. Not only is the quality of the manufacturing up to All-Clad's standards (ie worthy of the All-Clad brand name), it performs extremely well as well. Although the aluminum/copper disk is only on the bottom of the pan (it doesn't come up the sides), it seems to cover all the necessary surface area. The result is a pan that heats extremely evenly, has absolutely no hot spots, and is extremely responsive to heat adjustments. I use this on an old electric stove too, so this is impressive! Cleanup is surprisingly not too bad (I was afraid that food would stick, but a brief dip in hot water seems to do the trick), although to keep the beautiful finish of the pot (and avoid the swirly heat stains common to using stainless steel pots) I would recommend using a stainless steel polish. Makes it look like new.

I've had this pan for several months now, and highly recommend it.

My husband and I recently rented a vacation home in Florida. The people had a set of Emerilware pots and pans and I was very impressed with them. I personally have a set of Cuisinart stainless steel cookware which I very much enjoy, but I have to say that I fell in love with the 12" Emeril frying pan. The weight of it, the ease of cleaning, the handle and the overall quality are wonderful. I am thinking of purchasing one even though I don't need any more pans !!

The 8/18 12 inch fry pan by Emeril is outstanding. I bought it to replace a Belgique fry pan that was about 15 years old. The small rivits holding the handle to the pan just popped and I had to throw it away. I went looking for a good replacement and I found it in the Emeril 12 inch pan. This pan more than filled the bill. I have no doubt at all that it is really superior to the Belgique. It cooks more evenly than any frypan I've ever used, and the handle is rock-solid and doesn't get hot. The even cooking is due to the aluminum and copper bottom. The pan also cleans up very easily.

One of the things I like about the Emeril pan is that it has rivits that won't ever break. The pan is made by All-Clad, and is identical to their 12 inch pan, but at less than 1/2 the price. Really, if you are looking for an ideal fry pan, this is the one to get. It looks and feels good, is solid, and cleaning is no problem. It think it will outlast me!

I love chicken fajitas and order them when I go out. When I saw this, I knew that I really enjoy it. It is small enough that storing it isn't a problem, even in a small apartment. It is also pretty affordable, whether you get it for yourself, give it as a gift or receive it as a gift.

A word of caution: the sizzler is going to be hot. I know most people know that, but just in case. :c)

My only suggestion is to let the sizzler soak in some warm, soapy water so you don't have to scrub it.

Feel like a professional fajita chef with this restaurant-style fajita pans, complete with matching trivet. Makes a great presentation when you bring the sizzling pan to the table. Sturdy cast iron will last forever, and the price is certainly right.

This little plan packs a big punch. We use it to cook fajitas, tortillas, scrambled eggs, pancakes, anything that needs even heat and a flat surface. The pan handles well, and is light enough for easy one-handed cooking. Let it season and it will last a life time!

This IS a kitchen essential. I have two. This is the pot you grab for every little thing: heating up a can of soup, frozen veggies, straining gravy in to, anything. This and the next size up, are musts in every kitchen. Cleans easily and stays nice and shiny. I got all of mine years ago for a wedding present and it was my favorite present and still is, I use them always. I have since acquired Le Creuset and All-Clad, and I love them too, but THESE are the tried and true pots you don't have to think about damaging or how do I clean it, or will I scratch it. Good buy for the money too.

This has got to be the deal of the century, and not only that, these pans will last you almost that long! My mother has had a set for 35 years, and I've had mine for 5. Nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe, good performers on the stovetop, with stay-cool handles! They even look great after all those years!
Keep in mind that because they are mostly stainless steel, with an aluminum bottom, Farberware does not heat up quite as fast as, say, hard-anodized aluminum such as Calphalon, which gourmets prefer. Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor, while aluminum is good and copper is the best. On the plus side, you can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher and Calphalon does not have true stay-cool handles, like Farberware.
Anyway, how often do you buy a gift knowing that it will still be around 20, 30, 40 years from now? By the way, if the pot does have a problem, they come with a Lifetime Warranty.

Farberware 18/10 stainless steel cookware is a good line. I had this cookware at one time, and I can recommend it, especially for use on gas burners. Unlike Calphalon cookware, it can go in the dishwasher. However, to keep the finish gleaming, you might need to scrub the pots and pans frequently with cleanser and scouring pads. The 1-Quart Saucepan is a kitchen essential.

I actually recieved two of these stockpots as wedding gifts. I cannot stress enough how wonderful this Farberware line really is. I refuse to use anything else! The 8 qt. stockpot is great - not too big, not too small. It's oven safe, heats evenly and helps to create wonderful stews. I have no doubt that this pot will last forever!

This is a great pot. The heavy bottom provides very even heat. Nice shiny stainless steel on the outside stays pretty.

This is absolutely the best cookware i've ever had!!..brown it on the stove top, finish it in the oven....no need for foil or to change it to a casserole because it's all oven safe!!!..my only problem is i have been looking for the 8 qt pasta insert that was mentioned in my millenium brochure, and i can't find it...i need help.. i n-e-e-d the pasta insert!!

I got this set for my birthday. The large stock pot is perfect for a family of four. It is large enough to make just the right amount ot stew. The hard exterior keeps the heat distributed so that is has perfect even cooking. It is sturdy & I don't think I will ever have to worry about the handles coming off of the pans or lids. The nine pieces cover any cooking need I have. I love this set & am very thankful I was lucky enough to receive it as a gift!! It is a maker I trust & is definitely worth buying!!

I bought my set a year ago and couldn't be more pleased. Not only is it fabulous to use, but it is so easy to clean. A huge plus--the exterior doesn't seem to get black marks or stains like my old Calphalon set (which cost about the same). If you are looking for a set of cookware for the serious cook, this is it. Even heat distribution, beautiful to look at and easy to clean--you can't go wrong.

I got this cookware for a great price on ... and am very happy with it. It compares very favorably with all-clad (although I do prefer all-clad's handles). I also think this set provides a better mix of pots and pans than most. These pans cook evenly, heat up quickly, and clean up easily.
