This cookware from Cuisinart's Chef's Classic series incorporates both the classic good looks of gleaming stainless steel with the ease of an interior nonstick finish. Not just any nonstick, this finish is Quantanium, a high-quality, long-lasting finish internally reinforced with titanium. Little or no oil is needed for cooking on this ultra-smooth surface, and low to medium heat is recommended, along with non-metal utensils. An aluminum core encapsulated in the base conducts heat quickly and evenly without hotspots. All the lids are break-resistant glass, and the handles are also stainless steel, riveted for strength. Every piece is oven-safe to 500 degrees F and dishwasher-safe.

This 12-piece set of commonly used pots and pans makes a great starter set for the home chef. The three saucepans, holding 1, 2, and 3 quarts, take care of most boiling, warming, and steaming needs; the 8- and 10-inch skillets turn out perfect eggs, pancakes, and browned sausage; the 3-quart covered sauté pan is a good size for stir-fried vegetables, fried chicken, or braised beef; and the ever-popular 8-quart stockpot feeds the whole family with soup, chili, or corn-on-the-cob. All but the skillets come with lids. While dishwasher-safe, washing nonstick cookware by hand is recommended. Cuisinart covers the set with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. --Ann Bieri

Summary: Middle-of-the-road Price...Great Quality Set
Comment: This is the second set of non-stick Cuisinart cookware we have pruchased over the years and, once again, the pieces within it have lived up to our high expectations!

Considering it's middle-of-the-road price the quality of the pieces seem exceptional. I great purchase for a growing family that includes plenty of cooks, but certainly not any chefs! Ha!

Summary: Great value for the money!
Comment: I bought this set last week and just received them on Wednesday. So far, I have been totally satisfied with the set. The non-stick coating works really well. The pots and pans are a good weight and are made very well. I am very glad that I bought this set.

Summary: You're gonna like it
Comment: This stainless steel cuisinart set is well worth the cost. It looks professional, great price, heats up quickly and nothing sticks. Delivery was fast, no shipping damages so why shop anywehere else? You have to admit that old clunky dark anodized stuff looks like you're flipping eggs with a buick. Step into the shiny stainless steel and you won't regret it. The handles have stayed cool to the touch to maybe warm. Not hot where you couldn't grab them. I'd buy another one without question.

Summary: I enjoy cooking in these
Comment: I've had them for over a month and I absolutely love them. The inside coating is great and NOTHING sticks to it ... Of course it does when you leave it at high to burn but even that comes off easy! I'm a first time cook and so I'm new to cooking and I think I've got myself professional cookware ... these pans make me want to cook, which is something I never thought I'd say!! I also love the outside silver coating ... makes them look contemporary. Overall great buy and great deal. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because I wish the glass lids had the small hole for air/pressure that my old Faberware had ... while cooking when I remove the lids there is a lot of steam build up and it wets the surrounding area and the counter ... I then have to wipe off the water. I tried leaving the lid a little open instead of completely inserting the lid on the pan but it did the same thing. If anyone has a trick to overcome this issue then please let me know in comments.

Summary: Very Handy
Comment: This set replaced a set of 27 year old cast aluminum, which I received as a wedding gift. The non-stick surface is great, and they are very attractive on the outside. The only issue i have is storing the glass lids. You can't really stack them, and i have a potential avalanche everytime i open my pot cabinet door. Other than that, they're great.
