If you need a solid, good-looking pan for everyday cooking, check out this Oster Claiborne saute pan. It's a 12-inch wide (that's measured across the top) aluminum pan with a hammered charcoal grey exterior that hides scratches pretty well. The inside is coated with an 'EZ Cook' non-stick surface, which means you can cook with less oil and cleanup is a breeze – just a quick wipe or toss in the dishwasher. It comes with a vented tempered glass lid so you can keep an eye on your food without losing heat and moisture. The handles are made from heat-resistant Bakelite, so they stay cool on the stovetop, and there's a smaller 'helper' handle on the opposite side for better control when the pan is full. It's 4 inches deep, so you've got decent sides for sauteing without too much splatter. Oven-safe too (just check the temp rating for the handles). Overall, it's a dependable, multi-purpose pan that's great for frying, simmering sauces, or making a big batch of stir-fry. A nice upgrade from your basic pan.
