 "BEWARE of these pans!!" 2010-02-11
By Avid chef
I purchased the set BRAND NEW and the first time I used the 8" skillet, I heated water in the pan to cook hotdogs. Before I placed the hotdogs in the pan, I noticed discoloration and spots all of the pan. I then poured out the water and washed it and nothing came out!! Alls I had in this skillet was water!! I then called Cuisinart customer service and they are very hard to deal with. I told the agent what happened and she said that I would have to go and purchase a special cleaner to see if that would help. I JUST USED THIS PAN FOR THE FIRST TIME!! Why should I go and make a trip for something that is clearly a defect?? I asked if I could get a replacement on the pan and she said that it wasn't covered under a manufacturer's defect because I used the pan on high heat and they don't recommend that for their pans! I was shocked! My comment to her was "so you don't recommend the pans to boil water to make pasta, hotdogs, etc..?" and she said "NO". What kind of pans are these??? I pd. $200 plus tax for this hunk of crap and I will be repacking and taking them up to the store!! Can't boil water in them...what a joke! I will never buy anything of Cuisinart's again!

By Ericka Miller (OKC, OK)
Very happy with these pots. Clean up nice, very light and easy to stack together. They do get a little sticky with eggs, but not too terribly bad. Overall very happy!

 "Great Cookware at Resonable Price!" 2010-02-08
By J. T. Hwang (Chicago, IL)
I've purchased two sets about six months ago and had a chance to use every piece. I have to say that this set is a bargain, but noticed that Cuisinart Multiclad Pro is what I would prefer over this set (if money was no object). I've purchased the Multiclad Pro 3 qt saucepan and the 5-1/2 qt pan to compliment this set, and love the true triple ply and heavier gauge sides which prevents scorching. Can't compare this set to the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro set that cost two to three times as much (or All-Clad)...and I'm quite happy that I have purchased this set!



As for the 10-piece set, I agree with the high praise from many already posted. This is a very good set for a resonable price. Would it last a lifetime? Probably not but I will get good use out of it for at least ten years. Sides of pan are a bit thin and will flex slightly (compared to the Multiclad models). If the pan fell from my hanging rack, it would probably dent. You can hang the pots with lids on, though one would have to be careful not to knock them off. One of the lids came off and hit the countertop then the floor, but survived the fall without any damage. My favorite is the 3 qt saucepan and the 3-1/2 qt saute.



Cameo or Bar Keepers Friend does a good job of cleaning up residue that can't be cleaned up with standard dish washing soap or in the dishwasher. I have some pitting on the interior of pan from throwing salt from soft-boiling eggs or pasta. Pitting does not impact the performance, but a bit ugly looking (doesn't bother me as this set was inexpensive and I've purchased to use everyday). I've done a comparison between the 3 qt provided in this set compared to the Multiclad 3 qt. I was surprised that using same amount of water an at same size gas burners with switching the pans every minute to ensure even heating, Chef's Classic boiled water quicker than the Multiclad by at least a minute (I'm a professional engineer and a bit quirky that way).



I've also purchased the anodized non-stick pans by Cuisinart and been using the glass lids from that set on the Chef's Classic. Since purchasing the stainless set, my non-stick pans are in storage and though they are fairly new, teflon started coming off from the top of the cookware where lid meets the pan. I realize the professionals use metal lids as it keeps in the heat better and easier to clean, but I do like to see what's going on inside the cookware when I'm cooking. I'm starting to get used to the metal lids. This set has also retired my Lodge cast iron cookware to use only on the grill, as the stainless base heat retention is great and much easier to clean and maintain.



I would highly recommend this set to anyone who wants a long lasting cookware, likes to use metal utensils with their cookware as long as they don't mind superficial scratches(instruction manual states that non-metallic utensils be used), enjoys developing fond (brown bits) for making tasty sauces, or simply wants a cookware that one can abuse without having to worry about ingesting Teflon, this set would be very satisfactory. If you want the absolute best and spend considerable time in the kitchen, spend more for the Cuisinart Multiclad or All-Clad and don't complain about the little details. For most everyone else out there, this set would be quite adequate. Happy cooking!



Other Info: As for interchangeability with Cuisinart Multiclad line, 3-qt line has different size lids as Multiclas line has deeper Saute pans. Frying pans are the same size. Pam or similar cooking spray should be avoided as they will bake on to the pans and will be difficult to remove. I've started to cook eggs on real butter mixed with olive oil. Wow! Eggs are so much better than cooked on the non-stick skillet with spray oil. Everything in moderation, but I've been learning to live a little and exercise more to make up.
