Awful

Absolutely everything sticks to these pans. Potatoes, eggs, you name it - the worst pans I’ve ever had. I’ve tried “seasoning” with oil and cooking in ample amounts of oil. I would not recommend.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, February 11, 2026
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the 77-17N stainless-steel set and appreciate you sharing your feedback. Stainless steel requires preheating the pan before adding oil and allowing food to naturally release once properly seared, as adding food too early can cause sticking. We would be happy to walk through detailed cooking tips to help you achieve the best performance from your cookware. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8900522096 for assistance.

Very very disappointed with this product. Food sticks no matter how low the heat is. I have a glass top stove and everything sticks to these pots. I was warned by a family member not to buy them but my wife want it because of the look. These pots are very appealing but once you start using them you'll be very disappointed if not upset.

We ended up throwing them out. We used the medium to low heat as you advised but they were hard to clean. I didn't want to go public and be mean about it. We see them use stainless all the time on Guy's Grocery Games, and thought we should try them. Not sure if they are the same pans, but anyway it didn't work out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The pots and pans works great if you know how to cook without it being non stick and it has nice weight. However when I opened mine there was already some dents on the metal. I assume it was just from welding. The box says to wash before use and dishwasher safe, so right out of the box I loaded it into my dishwasher and when it came out they all had an iridescent sheen to it. Also when packed away it has what looks like rust. This was after it was cleaned and dried, put away for 2 days before I used it to cook. I scrubbed it off but now I only hand wash them and leave it to air dry for a full day before putting them away. Since I cook every day they do not get put away. Nice set but a bit of a nuisance to care for.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lovely stainless set, but I would not have picked this for myself. Have to cook on low (gas) otherwise things stick, even with oil and butter.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
