(More customer reviews)This cookware does the job providing even heat throughout your cooking process. The surface is super slick but gives you a nice foundation for searing, braising and pan frying and lends itself to a variety of sauce making applications. A simply pan reduction sauce is a snap and cleanup is a breeze, with paper towel no less. The nicest features are the stay cool recycled stainless steel handle mirrored with the ability to finish your meal preparation in the oven or broiler.
The deep rich browning created by this pan is uniform and flavorful. Don't let the competition sway you, cooking till black is not the new brown! So, if you are going green, get this cookware, it's certainly your next step! If you wish to look at one up close and feel the quality for yourself then head on over to your nearest Le Gourmet Chef outlet store, you will not be disappointed.
I recently prepared Chicken Marsala utilizing this pan and a Simply Calphalon Saute Pan. Both pans performed well but the golden brown searing and coloration was more developed in the Cuisinart pan. I also was able to adjust the gas at a lower flame under the Cuisinart pan. The Calphalon pan was searing at 8 out of 10 on the cook-top range whereas the Cuisinart pan was searing at 4 out of 10. The fond left on the pan from the searing in the Cuisinart pan was also more developed and added to the Marsala recipe quite nicely.
I will post a comment and update the link when I test the new Calphalon Unison searing pan against the Cuisinart GreenGourmet Saute pan.

Cuisinart GreenGourmet Hard Anodized Eco-Friendly Nonstick 5-1/2-Quart Saute Pan with Helper Handle and CoverA hardworking addition to any cookware collection, this 5-1/2-quart saute pan provides a wide flat surface with straight sides that neatly contain ingredients. Measuring approximately 22-4/5 by 13-8/9 by 5-1/5 inches, the pan works well for anything from searing fish, browning meat, and braising roasts to cooking one-pot meals like chicken and rice. As part of Cuisinart's GreenGourmet Hard Anodized line of cookware, the pan combines an earth-friendly design with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance with reduced impact on the environment. The cookware's hard-anodized aluminum construction heats up quickly and evenly, which means less energy required to achieve the desired cooking temperature, and its exclusive, scratch-resistant, ceramic-based nonstick coating (PTFE/PFOA-free and petroleum-free) helps reduce oil consumption and preserve the environment--plus it's applied at a temperature one half that of conventional nonsticks, and it won't peel off. Furthermore, its nonstick interior ensures effortless food release without the need for excess butter or oil, which means lower fat cooking options and quick cleanup. The cookware's riveted long handle and opposite helper handle stay cool to the touch on the stovetop and are made from 70-percent recycled stainless steel. A V-shape on one end of the long handle helps dissipate heat, while a hanging hole on the other end allows for convenient storage when not in use. Even more, Cuisinart uses packaging made from 100-percent recycled materials and printed with soy ink. Oven-safe up to 500 degrees F and safe to use under the broiler, the cookware cleans up easily by hand and carries a limited lifetime warranty. From the Manufacturer
