Rather, it was the most versatile device, with some extra functions that pushed it ahead of others, even if they add to the cost. Firstly, I found it to be the most similar to using an actual pan. This is because it came with a sauté function – everyone knows browning cuisinart pots and pans set of onions, which caramelises them, adds a wonderful depth of flavour.
