I have always wanted a good au gratin pan, so I finally
comparitive shopped for about a month and chose the Cuisinart
9 1/2 in. I couldn't be more pleased with it's performance.
It is as beautiful as it is functional, and cleans easily
with a plastic scour pad in spite of the baked on cheese.
The clad bottom is an extra plus in my electric oven, most
bakeware overheats from the bottom coil at any height, but
with this pan I can bake under 400 degrees with uniform results.
The seal on the lid is quite impressive, I recommend highly
that you offset the lid immediately after removing it from
the oven.

Was looking for several things: a good lasting alternative to nonstick, useful on my glasstop stove, no long handles to arrange in the dishwasher (or store in the cabinet,) able to broil in the oven without worry (and go straight to table,) and a comfortable size to saute, braise or stirfry for my small family. This pan has become my favorite. I was afraid it might be too shallow, but the angle of the sides is just right. Egg frying goes better than expected, and I might just try that Potatoes Anna recipe! Heat conduction is fast and even--have to keep the heat down--medium high at the most. Those little handles don't seem to get hot on top of the stove. I'm thinking of getting the 2 quart one as well for the deeper sides. Great prices, too!
