Kudos For Cuisinart

For the combination of top-performance and affordability, it’s tough to beat Cuisinart cookware. In a 2006 equipment test conducted by Cook’s Illustrated, the Chef’s Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized Omelet Pan was the highest-rated, among several competitive nonstick brands. Testers observed that it had the largest cooking area of all the skillets and declared, “this pan impressed us with its sturdiness and heft,” commenting that the salmon used in testing was “beautifully and evenly browned.” Consider this cookware if your budget is tight, but you still seek quality in the kitchen.
