[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent, but pot set I’ve ever had. Looking to purchase another.

No regrets in 26 yrs
on May 3, 2026
Posted by: Anne Sayles
I bought a set in around 2020 to replace the warped Revereware cookware (of 1970's era & of course, thier 'warranty' didn't cover warping, a very common problem) that didn't work on a glass
cooktop.
I have never regretted this purchase..Haven't used the skillets much as I don't care for fried foods. Everything still looks brand new. If cookware doesn't clean up well, I add HOT water & boil it, & then it cleans up perfectly. I use saucepans & steamer basket the most. Mostly handwash everything, very occasional dishwasher cleaned.

New Pans are Great!
on April 30, 2026
Posted by: Michelle - aka 3M
I just received this set of pans on April 29. Used today for lunch and they are great. Yes, I prepped appropriately, followed instructions and still had some sticking. So, here's what to do: option 1: make a pan sauce which is what I already intended. Once the tasty fond develops (browned bits), add some liquid (I added 1 cup of boiling water from the pan I was using to cook pasta), once the hot water was added, all of the browned bits lifted from the pan. Option 2: If not making a pan sauce, you can also add the extremely hot water to lift the stuck bits...be careful not to add cool water or you may have a self-inflicted problem. My husband also appreciates how shiny they are -- said he could probably use them as a mirror for shaving. ;-)

My husband and I decided on this set of cookware to start married life with. I couldn't be more pleased! I haven't had the chance to use all the pieces yet, but the several I have, have been fantastic. If we need to expand our selection of cookware in the future, Cuisinart will definitely make the top of the list. Definitely recommend!
I would recommend this to a friend!

So dissapointed
on March 25, 2026

I have purchased several pieces of individual pots. 2 of the pots have started to have the finish wear off on the bottom and are pitting. I still have and used my 60 year old Farberware pots that are in perfect condition. I am completely frustrated with the Cuisinart new pots.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome set, bigger pots have challenges.

I bought this set 6 months ago and while yes, there is a learning curve, they were working beautifully until I went to unload my dishwasher that ran in a normal cycle and discovered my 8qt stockpot had split in the walls of the pot and was extremely upset. However, upon doing a bit of research seems that this is common for this pot and there are a few posts in Reddit with it. Seems like a manufacturing issue.

Purchased this product 6 months ago. Love them. I knew when I purchased them that learning how to use them properly would be part of the fun. A great set of cookware.

This is the 2nd set of this cookware I have purchased. The first set lasted over 15 years. I hope to get the same or more out of this set.
