Don’t believe the negative reviews that say everything sticks. If you season the pan as directed, cook on lower heat (the pans are designed for this), let your meat warm up a bit out of the fridge and follow the cleaning instructions (hot water and soak) you will love this cookware and it’s ease of cleanup. They’re also beautiful hanging in my kitchen.
Love, Love, Love this cookware. I seasoned all of the fry pans before using and they absolutely don't stick. I shopped for weeks to trying to decide on what to get, now I am so happy with my decision. I just wish that the smaller fry pan had a lid and that the lids had some kind of insulation on them as they do get really hot.
I love my new chefs classic set. They are not only beautiful to look at, they are great for cooking too. I’m using them on a gas range and they respond to heat very quickly, even though I work with them at medium to low temperature. They’re also easy to keep clean. If something should stick I simply soak a little and then wipe clean. I look forward to many years of great cooking with this set.
So far I have enjoyed using my new pans! Love the quality and the fact that they are dishwasher safe!!! They heat up fast and you have to use very low heat!!! I look forward to many years with this beautiful, well made set!
I love the size of this set, the only complaint I have is that after using it, the bottoms of the pans turn cloudy. There are also black dots on the pans after use.
I was hesitant to switch from non-stick to stainless because I find that I have to be more cautious when cooking to not mar the pans. My mom has these pans and loves them, stainless is all she has ever used. Now I am a stainless fan. The quality of Cuisinart is amazing and the pans are attractive.
