Get the Cuisinart Chef's Classic set instead
By PeteM
Although this Cuisinart Classic stainless set is a big improvement over discount store cookware, Amazon also sells Cuisinart's higher quality, though confusingly similarly named, Chef's Classic set for just a few dollars more. The Chef's Classic set has more substantial construction, with professional handles and stainless steel lids. For the few extra dollars it's probably the best value and performance in a stainless set, short of full tri-clad construction such as All-Clad or Cuisinart's own Multi-clad.
BTW, the top ratings from online cooking sites are for the step-up Chef's Classic set, rather than this item.

Cuisinart Cookware set
By Nancy B
Very good value and quality. I needed new cookware for my new ceramic cooktop which requires flat bottom pans. They cook quickly and evenly.

Love this better than my Calphalon
By Suzanne
I got this set as a birthday gift from my husband. I've had them for a week and I've made every sticky food I can imagine in them (except candy). Even the polenta, eggs and oatmeal did not stick. I love the fact that I can sear meat and finish it in the oven. Also, being able to keep food in the pan & brown/broil under the broiler is A++. Clean up is easy. I did make some grilled ham & cheese sandwiches that left a little yellow residue from the margarine. However a little Bar keepers best friend took care of it in a jiffy. The handles are warm, not hot so I can handle them without pot holders on the stove.
I can't wait to buy more pieces! The food taste great & the pans are nice looking.
