The Cuisinart FusionElite+ cookware Hybrid Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 10 Inch Skillet is built for everyday cooking that develops flavor—searing, browning, sautéing, and finishing meals from stovetop to oven. Its versatile size makes it a go-to pan for weeknight dinners and more involved recipes alike. FusionElite+ cookware features PFAS-free* PurelySear technology, a hybrid cooking surface with raised stainless steel peaks and ceramic valleys. Food cooks on stainless steel for effective searing, caramelization, and fond development, while the ceramic valleys help support easier release and simplify cleanup. For best performance, use FusionElite+cookware like stainless steel cookware. Preheat the pan over medium-low to medium heat for about 2 minutes, add oil or butter, allow it to warm, then add food. Proper preheating improves release, supports even browning, and helps prevent sticking. Delicate foods like eggs benefit from preheating and the use of oil or butter. Tri-ply construction combines an aluminum core with stainless steel through the base and sidewalls for fast, even heating with Heat Surround technology. The cast stainless steel Cool Grip handle stays comfortable on the stovetop while keeping heat focused in the pan. Compatible with gas, electric, glass-top, and induction stovetops. Oven safe to 500°F. Dishwasher safe for convenient cleanup, though hand washing helps maintain the finish over time. From searing chicken thighs to building hash browns or sautéing vegetables, FusionElite+ cookware is designed for everyday cooking where browning and flavor make the difference. *No intentionally added PFAS
