This pan was defective so I returned it, thank you Amazon for paying the postage. The first time I used the pan I oiled it, but noticed that my piece of paper towel turned black. I washed the pan again, oiled it again, more black. I discovered that the lengthwise seam along the raised section of the bottom of the pan was open I could catch it with my fingernail, and the black was coming from this seam. Later I stopped by Macy's and looked at the same pan and discovered the same open seam. It looks like Cuisinart is selling a defective item on a large scale.

The pan looked great and is nice and heavy; however, exactly like another reviewer said, there is an unsealed seam in the bottom of the pan that gives off black stuff even after multiple washings. I was very disappointed. HOWEVER, Amazon was GREAT very fast shipping, plus they paid return shipping because the item was defective.

Being a bachelor, I wanted a smaller than full-size roasting pan. This seemed to do the trick. Amazon's description included the sentence:

"The secret is in the base where 18/10 stainless steel and pure aluminum are encapsulated to ensure fast and even heating."

Amazon made the same error describing its own house brand, Pinzon. Upon calling Cuisinart and speaking to a delightful customer service rep, I learned that this pan is 100% stainless. That translates into 'buckling' and 'hot spots' when deglazing on the stove-top for gravy.

This pan probably deserves a higher rating, but only if you are willing to put up with what 100% stainless is capable of.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart 7117-14 Chef's Classic Stainless 14-Inch Lasagna Pan

I currently own two Cuisinart Chef's Classic items: this lasagna pan, and the multi-purpose pot. I just ordered the 12" everyday pan, and am looking forward to receiving it. I may get a sauce pan at some point, but I'm trying to keep my kitchen stocked as minimally as possible so I'll have to wait and see about that.

I haven't had the quality issues that others have experienced. No black marks, discoloration, or gaps in seams. This pan has been very functional and durable. It cleans up well. It looks nice on the table. The sides are high, which is great for lasanga. It's a good value for the money. At one time, I would have purchased All-Clad cookware, but now that I own Cuisinart, I'm throughly content with what I have (and at a fraction of the cost).

This is a good value, IMHO.

Use nylon or silicone utensils so as not to mar the finish (no metal). I've become very partial to Trudeau utensils, which can also be purchased at Amazon.

This is a great product. I'm very please with it. I used to have dripping on the bottom of my oven not anymore. I had a baking pan for my lasagna that it was too shallow, this one is perfect. I really recomend it. Also, Amazon is is a very good webside to get it, furthermore the service and customer are wonderful. Thank you.
