Emeril's 12" skillet received - my comments

Having received my Emeril 12=E2=80=9D skillet, I realize that a 12=E2=80=9D=
skillet is
the measurement across the top, and this skillet measures 8-1/2=E2=80=9D at
the base.

On my range( which has a set of triple elements which are 6, 9 and
12=E2=80=9D) Emerils=E2=80=99 12=E2=80=9D pan, which has a base measurement=
of 8-1/2=E2=80=9D fits the
9=E2=80=9D element.

What I am using mainly now in stainless steel:
5=2E5=E2=80=9D base skillet is identified as a 8.5=E2=80=9D skillet. (which=
will fit my
6=E2=80=9D element)
7=E2=80=9D base skillet is identified as a 10=E2=80=9D skillet. (which fits=
my 6 or 9=E2=80=9D
element)

and I am still left looking for a skillet which fits the 12=E2=80=9D elemen=
t=2E
I have been seeing some 14=E2=80=9D occasionally.

The Emeril ss skillet I have purchased is larger than the ones I own
listed above (as you can see). I do like the handle because it has a
thumb print, and I wanted this pan for frittatas/frittatas, and it is
the same weight as my 10=E2=80=9D skillet above, (I weighed it on kitchen
scales) so this =E2=80=9Ccould=E2=80=9D be a plus as far as weight handling=
goes while
cooking, but I am not sure as to how much difference it will make in
cooking (frittatas, to be exact =EF=81=8A).

Having received my Emeril 12" skillet, I realize that a 12" skillet is
the measurement across the top, and this skillet measures 8-1/2" at
the base.

I've noticed that the pans with straight sides, called saute pans, have the
same measurement across the top and the base. Skillets usually have flared
sides.

I measured my saute pan which is 8-1/2 base, 3-1/2" in depth, and is
10-1/2 wide. I believe most of the difference in the lip for the lid,
and the way that the pan is molded, it sort of waves in a little at
the top and then back out again for the lid.

However, this saute pan is defined as a 3.5 qt. saute pan. I don't
know whether saute pans are measured as a 10.5" saute pan -- but in
this case, I would be disappointed if they had measured it as 10.5,
when acutally it was 8.5.

Thanks for your reply, Sharon.

Dee, you seem to have your news posting program set to something other than
plain text, so it's encoding the double quotes, leading to a display like one of
the above that is quite hard to read.

Larry, I don't seem to have that problem.

Hmmm, neither do I at home. Maybe the Exchange boys at work have been screwing
around again.... sigh.

Never mind, Dee. Sorry for the false alarm.
