My husband and I were taking them out of the box and we noticed the frying pan would have a slight rattle when we would move it around. It was something inside the bottom disc like a loose piece of metal and safe or not safe We decided to return.
I bought a Cuisinart saute pan a few years ago. I absolutely love it! When I decided to buy a new set of pots Cuisinart was the way I went. You'd never know I bought them years apart. The quality is there still!
I'm just starting to use this cookware set, but so far I like it quite a bit. Seems to heat evenly and I'm happy not to be dealing with chemicals in nonstick cookware anymore.
I love my Cuisinart stainless cookware, and would recommend it to anyone. It has fast, even heat distribution. It is easy to clean. It is extremely durable. It's even dishwasher safe! Good stuff.
