The Cuisinart 722-36H Chef's Classic 14-inch Helper Handle Skillet is a large, mirror-finish stainless steel frying pan built for even heating, easy handling and durable everyday cooking.

This 14-inch skillet from Cuisinart’s Chef's Classic line combines an aluminum-encapsulated base for fast, consistent heat with a stainless steel cooking surface that resists discoloration and won’t react with food. It includes a helper handle for safer lifting and a cool-grip riveted main handle for steady control. Dishwasher-safe construction and a lifetime warranty give it long-term practicality for busy kitchens.

How does this skillet distribute heat evenly for large-batch cooking?

The skillet's base sandwiches an aluminum core inside stainless steel, so it heats quickly and spreads temperature across the cooking surface to minimize hot spots. That construction helps you sear meats uniformly and simmer sauces without localized burning.

• Aluminum-encapsulated base for rapid, even heat transfer
• Wide 14-inch cooking surface for one-pan meals
• Mirror-polished stainless steel that tolerates high heat

Is the cooking surface safe and easy to maintain?

The stainless steel interior doesn’t react with acidic foods or change flavors, and it resists discoloration from normal use. After cooking, the skillet is dishwasher safe for straightforward cleanup, though hand-washing preserves finish longevity.

• Non-reactive stainless steel surface preserves food taste
• Drip-free pouring edges for neat transfers
• Dishwasher-safe design for quick cleaning

What handling and safety features make this pan easy to use?

Ergonomically riveted stainless steel handles give a secure, cool grip while the secondary helper handle offers balance when moving heavy contents. The sturdy construction reduces wobble on the stovetop and improves control when transferring to the oven or table.

• Riveted main handle stays cool during stovetop use
• Large helper handle supports two-handed lifting
• Solid stainless steel build for a confident grip and long life
