Unhappy and super disappointed with this purchase. Coating is pealing on almost all of the pieces and I don’t feel safe cooking with them as I’m not sure what is flaking into my food. I have only ever hand washed these. I wish I had gone with stainless steel instead. Cuisinart, any way you can help me?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I waited a long time to invest in a new set of pots & pans, and after reading the reviews, I was so excited to get these and begin using them. We only use wooden and plastic utensils, and after only one use, the non-stick surface of these pans was scratched. I am incredibly disappointed in the lack of quality. I would have expected more from this brand. The picture I attached was after one use with my new pans, using a plastic utensil.

This set was given to me as a gift and I am so thrilled with how well the cookware cooks: evenly & quickly. The lid handles don't heat up. I love the measure feature inside the pots making it easy to pour and cook without using extra cups, etc. The clean up is so easy and is truly non stick. I do not use oil/butter of any kind in my cooking and have been pleased with how well everything comes out of the pans. Really have not had a bad cooking experience with this set.

This was a gift from my kids for Christmas. It's performance is fine, but I don't like the fact that I have to wash them by hand and not in the dishwasher. I use a dishwasher liquid that contains no phosphorus (Melaleuca product) and wonder if that would make it ok to put in dishwasher. The lids are hard to store. I haven't figured out the strainer. Is it a rice cooker?

I’m truly 50/50 split. I love them but also frustrated that just a few times in use the material of the coating has stained a little bit on two of my pots and also noticeable scratches in the material as far as surface is concerned even with using plastic and wooden large spoons to stir with and also silicone whisk being used. Other for those two concerns they have held up well to my cooking at home and when I have also put the large skillet into the stove it retains heat very well. Just wish those problems in early ownership would not have happened. I would expect these things to happen over years not a few weeks.

The surface is non-stick but you CANNOT use any utensil. You can only use silicone utensils, all other utensils scratch the surface. Why would you even bother creating a non-stick surface that is so easy to damage?

Came with a few dings and scratches on some of the pans. They are not as heavy as some other hard Anodized sets. They loose heat quick.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Outside of the pans change color after just one wash.
Inside of pan scuffs very easily.
