Customers are mixed about the heat distribution of the saute fry pan. Some mention that it distributes heat very well, and is built to last. The side walls are quite thin, and the pan heats up quickly. However, some customers say that it doesn't heat up well enough, the heat is highly concentrated at the flat bottom of the pan and the sides, and that the handles will get hot.

"...There's enough flatness on the bottom to have good heat transfer from my electric range...." Read more

"...The glass lid is heavier but it retains the steam and heat well for faster cooking time...." Read more

251 customers mention138 positive113 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the weight of the saute fry pan. Some find it lightweight and easy to handle, while others say it's too heavy and the rim has already dented. The size of the pan is large, but the glass lid is heavy for them and completely negates this weight advantage.

Best wok you can find in US for electric range
5 Stars
Best wok you can find in US for electric range
To preface, I cook asian meals everyday and stir-fry at least two dishes a day. I've been through 3 woks the past 3 years. Carbon steel which rusted if you soaked it or didnt dry it immediately. I could not season it well at all with a flat top electric range. Tossed that out and decided to go with non-stick. Non-stick worked well until stuff stuck or burned to it. Then it was goodbye. Bought a second of the same kind trying to be more careful but the same thing happened. I decided to go with stainless steel because no matter how much it sticks, you can always get it out with Bar Keepers Friend, soaking or as a last resort; steel wool.Read all the reviews before getting it and noticed a lot say it does not heat up well enough, it sticks, it doesn't clean well, the lid is too heavy and the wok is too light, and to only use it on medium low heat to avoid burned or stuck food. I tried it on medium low heat and it had so little heat that I could touch the sides of the pan and it wast even warm to the touch. Stir-fry meals came out soggy. I finally decided to use it on high heat, which is how stir-fry is supposed to be cooked at and everything worked great. Nothing stuck.Keep in mind, with stir-fry, you are supposed to be cooking at blazing hot temperatures in very little time. Often a dish is cooked less than 5 minutes. From my experience with this wok/stir-fry pan, those that mention burnt food are not cooking stir-fry at the speed it should be done and are not stirring as often as they should. A stir-fry should never be left alone and always tossed around until it is done cooking.Whatever leftover food stains on the wok can be worked out with some soaking and Bar Keepers Friend. BKF also removes the rainbow stains and hard water stains. I do not use the lid. It is way too heavy and you don't need it with stir-fry. As for the wok being too light, that's generally how it should be as the method used during stir-fry is to lift the wok up with one hand and dish/scrape the food onto a place with the other. If it was too heavy, you wouldn't be able to do this.In summary, when using this wok:1. Use it on high heat2. Add oil, wait for it to heat up3. Add food. Usually it goes onions/garlic/ginger first, then meat/vegetables, then sauces5. Babysit the dish with constant tossing. If you must simmer, lower the heat. If you want a thicker sauce, add corn starch and water mixture. Babysit, babysit, babysit.6. Dish out onto plate7. Soak wok in water, immerse fully8. If there's still food stains, use Bar Keepers FriendI'm happy with this purchase. It is definitely a good investment as are most stainless steel cookware.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cooks Very Well!
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024
Color: Stainless SteelSize: 14-InchVerified Purchase
Product arrived on time and packaged well. I am pleased how quickly it cooks food. I am happy that my food does not stick to the wok while cooking in high, medium, and low heat settings. The size of the wok is large enough to easily make one-pot meals. I am glad that the wok is light-weight and comfortable to use because I have arthritis in my fingers. The glass lid is heavier but it retains the steam and heat well for faster cooking time. Initially I was concerned that the wok was more shallow than traditional woks, but it doesn’t splatter much and food doesn’t spill out as I toss rigorously in high heat. Some may say that the cooked food doesn’t have that “wok flavor,” but that’s ok because I use a lot of fresh herbs in my cooking. The wok cleans easily with a little Soft Scrub for stainless steel pans. I’m also glad that I don’t need to season it after washing it. It’s a good quality wok!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great PRICE Replaced my TURBO COOK PAN plus FREE SHIPPING
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2011
Color: Stainless SteelSize: 14-InchVerified Purchase
For less than the cost of dinner for four at KFC you can own this souper fry pan... Yes I spelled it souper so you don't forget this is great for soups too.

RE: TURBO COOK PAN REPLACEMENT
Yep, I am tossing out my Turbo Cook Pan, but keeping the steel steamer tray and maybe using the stainless steel lid... Jury is out on the lid as I now have three to choose from: Stainless Steel, Traditional WOK, and Glass. I love my Turbo Cook Pan; Nothing cooks better in a short period of time; however the main pan is non-stick aluminum and does not last. I don't need to add aluminum or non-stick to my family's diet.

RE: STAINLESS STEEL
It is great that this is a flat bottomed stainless steel pan. My prior review, which I lost, had a story about sticking stainless steel pans. I went into the importance of manufacturers instructions as with my other pans I finally figured learned why my food was sticking and better ways to clean up after cooking from reading the instructions. Cuisinart's use and care guide covers has some interesting things to say regarding cooking with and cleaning this pan that you may want to review before using. (**I feel that many of the less than five star reviews may have been different if people had read the use and care guide first before using this pan.) Lastly, since this pan is to replace a non-stick pan I decided to put it to the test by frying tofu last night for making my hot curried tofu. There was some sticking, but as I was frying at a lower temperature when I cooked my veggies after the tofu all of the stuck food was released by the steam of the vegetables.

RE: GLASS LID
Many people's complaints about the glass lid are actually a feature of the lid. This pan was not designed for the traditional ultra high temperature WOK cooking. The glass lid will actually vapor seal to keep in veggie freshness. There is a right way to break the seal is in the use and care guide. So far I have not used the glass lid, but I intend to when I put this WOK to the task for making hot and sour soup.

RE: PRICE
I thought I had a great price when I purchased this pan a week ago from Amazon for $34.95 with super saver shipping included. At the time of this review you can get the same pan for $28.24 a full $6.71 less. If you are concerned about the glass lid as I was you could get this pan now and pick up a WOK lid at a thrift shop for a few bucks and still come out ahead.

FYI: AMAZON's Post-Order Price Match Policy
With the exception of TVs, we do not offer post-order price matching when an item's price drops after you buy it. Our prices regularly change, and the price you paid when your order shipped was the lowest price we were able to offer at the time. We consistently offer competitive prices on everything we carry because we know low prices are very important to our customers.

RE: OTHER REVIEWS
Read them all the good and the bad as you want to make an informed decision. Also, this is not a traditional high temperature wok, but if you are looking for one of those Amazon has one that looks good currently for $20.79 and $7.84. You also will have to get a WOK ring as this is round bottom, plus don't think about it if you have a gas glass cook top as the heat will break your cook top. (Yes I am sure someone will say I'm wrong on this, but that is what my SEARS instructions said when I installed mine ten years ago... Glass could be tougher now)

UPDATE: 7/16/11 I've used this pan for several dinners and large soups and it has performed remarkably on my gas cooktop. So far I have used this glass top only as a dust cover for when I'm not using the pan. I have been using both my old WOK top and Stainless Steel Turbo Cooker Dome top... The reason for this is: 1. they work great with this pan and 2. I've read in several reviews about shattered tops, even though I suspect improper use, I want to be sure I'll be in the kitchen 100% of the time for my first couple glass top runs.
CLEAN UP: After each use I fill the pan with water and let it soak while eating my meal. After that a green scrub pad makes short work of any food or stain on the inside of the pan.

AGAIN THIS IS A GREAT PAN... DON'T DELAY

note: I have read reviews that state this is not an induction pan, if you require an induction pan you may decide to look elsewhere. There was no claim in the write-up of this pan being an induction pan. (I understand the use of a one star review when talking about a product that you are trying to help keep others from making the same mistake they did, knowing that it isn't the manufacturers fault; for this reason Amazon needs a neutral star rating.)

Update 6 September 2011: Since getting this pan I have used it five times a week. My glass top has been GREAT and no problems. Again HIGHLY recommend following instructions. Cleans like a dream. Makes more SOUP than than my Turbo-Cook pan ever did, and now I don't have to worry about eating non-stick material. When frying it is easier to use a WOK ALUMINUM lid as it is lighter and you don't have to worry about the glass lid.

Update 20 May 2014: Burned my wok again walking away and forgetting that I had it on the stove for coffee water. I can not count the number of times that I have burned this great pot, but it is still flat as an ironing board on the bottom. Oh should you ever burn your wok too, just gently move it to an unlit burner and leave it alone until it cools before attempting to clean it.

Update 1/17/2018: Yep burned again. Still flat as can be on the bottom. Great Pan. By the way I forgot to mention another appliance you don't need after getting this wok... Your Crock Pot is no longer needed. I just put this on the stove with low heat for any crock pot recipe and will shorten the cooking time by half. (Rough times as you still have to be sure meat cooks.) And just like a crock the more times you lift the lid the more loss of cooking energy. Great pot for split pea soup. I toss a pound or two of dried split peas in the pot. Wash and drain a few times in the wok as to not dirty other pans. Then add water, onions, garlic, and my leftover ham bone from dinner. Put that on low heat and cook for several hours before tasting. After that spice to taste. YUM

5.0 out of 5 stars Stir-fry's differently--OK when used to it--light weight and huge.
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2017
Color: Stainless SteelSize: 14-InchVerified Purchase
Further Update: 3/19/2019 -- updating to 5 stars.

It is now my goto and favorite wok. I used it daily. I hardly ever use my Calphalon 13 inch SS wok or my Calphalon 12 inch hard-anodized wok anymore--every time I reach for one of the others, I change my mind and revert to this Cuisinart.

This wok is big and light, and once gotten used to how it cooks, unbeatable. There certainly is something to be said about size--big is good. And weight--the Calphalons when loaded with food are hard to handle due to their weight. This Cuisinart is easy to maneuver full, or empty for cleaning.

It is also easy to clean; just pre-soak in soapy water, dump and remove residue, and then use Bar Keeper's Friend (BKF) with soft, non-scratch, side of sponge. I tend to wash it once with BKF and then again with dish soap. I always clean it to spotless like new condition. I do not use super high cooking heat on range--on my gas range, I have settings of High-6-5-4-3-2-1; the highest I ever use is the 5 setting for stir frying=a high medium heat.

I am careful with the glass cover so I don't crack it by hitting on something since it is a bit unwieldy.

Overall, this is a great wok. I almost returned it when I first got it, and am so glad I didn't.

Further Update: 2/17/2018

Amazon did couple of exchanges for me. One arrived with the disk on the bottom dented, and the other with the handles not aligned. Poor quality control and bad shipping.

However, this pan is becoming my go to stir fry pan, and so I am upgrading to 5 stars from 4. It is light and that makes a difference when there is a lot of food--it is about one pound lighter than the Calphalon and that makes a big difference when tilting it with one hand to unload the food. And it is big--there's something to be said about size--when I stir-fry a few lbs. of green leafy veggies at one time, this pan is big enough to take it all--just heap it on. The Calphalons, at 12 and 13 inches, although only 2 and 1 inch smaller in top diameter, are more cone-shaped and have smaller bottoms and thus do not hold as much--what I had previously said was a liability for the Cuisinart and a plus for the Calphalon is now the opposite.

I have gotten used to and adapted to the required stir-frying style with this pan--parking the food in the middle rather than the sides--the opposite of the Calphalons.

All in all, have gotten more pleased with this and selecting it over the two Calphalons most of the time, in daily use. (Note: I stir-fry a lot of green leafy Chinese vegetables.)
>>>>
Update:

I asked others if their wok scratched as easily, since my has acquired many scratch marks and I was using a Calphalon nylon spoon to stir-fry. Many indicated that theirs did not scratch easily. Mine also makes a crackling sound as it first heats up. I called Cuisinart and asked if what I experienced was normal, the rep said no, and for me to mail it in and they would give me a new one--however, I have to pay for shipping. If I did a return to Amazon I do not need to pay for shipping. So I am undecided. I do like the pan, but it has its favorable and unfavorable features.

Pros:

It is big but lightweight; many say it is heavy but I think it is light for its size. I weighed it without the cover, it is 2 lbs. and 13 oz.. In comparison, a 13 inch Calphalon Stainless Contemporary is 3 lbs. 9 oz., and a 12 inch Calphalon Hard Anodized is 3 lbs. 5 oz. So relatively speaking this Cuisinart 14 is light.

Because it is so big, the likelihood of spill out on stir-frying is less, and so is the splatter.

Cons:

Because it has the disk on bottom but the sides are not encapsulated, the sides of the pan get hotter than the bottom, making it opposite from a typical stir-fry pan, where the bottom is hotter than the sides, and one can park food on the sides. I am not used to this yet, and my stir-frying comes out uneven.

The flat bottom is too big, and the food does not naturally slide down.

>>>

As mentioned, I have a Calphalon 12 inch Hard Anodized that I use for serious stir-frying, and I was looking for something bigger in SS for daily use that would generate low splatter. I subsequently bought a 13 inch Calphalon Contemporary SS. I like the Calphalon 13 inch 3-ply SS, it stir-fries like the 12 inch Hard Anodized, with a small flat area allowing the food to slide naturally. The only other 14 inch SS out there is the All-Clad, a 5 ply, which is probably real heavy in addition to expensive, although likely a good wok.

I am keeping the Calphalon 13 inch SS, but on thinking about returning this Cuisinart, I am a bit reluctant--it does have its merits--namely the size and lightness. It is not a bad wok even if it stir-fries differently. It is cheap, and worth keeping around--if storage space is not an issue.

>>>>>

I have an Innovation 11 inch deep skillet that I was using as a daily stir-fry pan, and a 12 inch Calphalon Hard Anodized for serious stir-frying. Having moved from an electric stove to a gas stove, the hotter flame and heat of gas caused a lot of splattering with the 11 inch Innovation, requiring much post-cooking cleanup. Thus I looked for a bigger stir-fry pan, of at least 14 inches and in stainless steel for daily use, since I already have the 12 inch Calphalon (which is superb).

I was skeptical about the 7-inch diameter sized flat bottom--too big a flat area--the Calphalon is only about 4 inches @ 12 inch, thus more slopping. The comments about the glass cover exploding was bothersome, and the cheap price was puzzling--cheap is cheap and one gets what one pays for. Some reviewers mentioned that it was light while others said it was heavy. An All-clad 14 inch is like $300--and it is super heavy. At this price, it is worth a try.

When I received it, I was amazed at how light weight it was. My All-clad 8 inch is almost the same weight. The light weight was concerning at first, seemingly indicating it was deficient in materials. Upon using it, I appreciated the light weight because it would be unmanageable with a full load of food otherwise. However, the pan scratches easily even though I have only used Calphalon nylon utensils--don't know why.

I have been stir-frying for years and stir-frying with this pan is really different--not like with my two other pans--I have not figured it out yet--is it due to the use of lower heat (not high), or the larger diameter of the flat bottom, or the slope of the sides, or the heat distribution. I don't feel like I am really stir-frying, more like boiling the food and it takes longer to cook. The Calphalon stir-frys much easier and naturally. I don't know about this pan and have not come to a conclusion about the pan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Pan; Good Value

I purchased the 14 inch pan with glass lid. Used this a few times. Fun to cook with. Sturdy and good quality. Looks professional. Great for stir-fry. Deep base is perfect for mixing without any spillage. Good heat distribution. There is some discoloration after use, even when soaking to clean. The lid is lightweight and good quality. When using a gas stove, the metal handle will heat up quickly so need to use an oven mitt for handling. Would recommend.

This pan is awesome. I found it while looking for a wok. But this is a very nice, massive pan. It has a sturdy handle on each end, and is made of Stainless Steel with Aluminum and Copper layers in the bottom to help conduct heat to the Stainless Steel cooking surface. I would gladly buy this again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good wok for its price
Reviewed in Canada on December 17, 2023
Color: Stainless SteelSize: 14-InchVerified Purchase
Only the base is triple ply so it only heats the bottom fast. On the other hand, it's really light because of that. The wok is nice and wide so you can stir and toss things around with plenty of space. It's also very easy to clean, if things stick because you didn't season with oil prior to cooking then just throw some water on and heat it up to loosen the charred stuff. The lid is very like other people said but it's solid.
