I love this Sauté Pan!  I never had one so large before and am glad I decided to try something other than my somewhat large cast iron pan.  It holds heat well, and sometimes I plan meals around how I can use this pan.  Even though it is dishwasher safe, I had a problem with the pan either after the high heat of the dry cycle or maybe I heated the pan too hot on the stove, although you are only supposed to heat it to medium.  Cuisinart replaced the warranted pan, and now I wash it by hand all the time.  It cleans very easily.  So I am very pleased with my purchase and am looking for more Cuisinart pans to purchase!
