Bought the set as a gift for my wife and I. Great looking pans, however, stick resistance is something that should be clarified. We also find the pans hard to cook with... The great heat transfer sill surprise you as you cook. Great for cooking, but will surprise you the first time you use these if you haven't used any like these before.
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.
Bought these for my wife for xmas (which in turn actually Benifits me and our family) We consider her a great Chef and she absolutely loves her set of Cuisinart pots. They are well made, well balanced not too heavy and easy to clean. The interior finish looks like it will last a long time.
