Wonderful Set at a Wonderful Price

Excellent! Very happy with this set. The "everything sticks" reviews are most likely from customers who don't know how to use stainless steel cookware. Stainless is not for everyone. The cookware is well made and looks fantastic, even after use. Cleaning can be a bit of a chore, but, again, stainless is not for everyone. Steak, chops, veggies, soups, stews, chili and eggs all come out great. I highly recommend this set to folks who are a bit more "into" cooking and not your average Joe or Jane who is looking for non-stick pots and pans right out of the box.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this set after upgrading to an induction stove in my home. While the pans do work just fine! I'm highly disappointed with is the mixed metals. I was expecting stainless steel as advertised not aluminum bonded to stainless. I would not have noticed it if, after one use they had not started pitting inside bottoms and tendency to stain black after being washed. After using a magnet to verify the dissimilar metals, i was disappointed to say the least.

I really thought I was getting some great pot set. Cuisinart is a household name and are highly recommended. But I am very disappointed I with the set. I only used it once and all the pots have started to get rust marks. I only washed them with dishwashing liquid and towel dried. I only had these for close to a month. Terrible

We ordered this set a couple months ago and had to send it back before we even had it a month. All of the pots and pans lost their finishes and developed black splotches all over the inside with anything and everything cooked in them, even boiling a pot of water took the finish off.

Our 20+ yr old cookware set was just not gonna be able to handle our upgraded gas stove. Time for new cookware. After much research and deal shopping I found this 17pc set and in the price range I was looking for. We love these pots/pans. The cook amazingly with the higher BTUs of our gas range, keeping things even temped. Cleanup and look amazing after every use. Could not be happier!!

The pots and pans are beautiful and I love using them; however, they are very hard to clean and got discolored after boiling water. I of course washed all the pots and pans before use and dried them per the care instructions. I went to boil water to make some pasta and after I was dinner there were black marks stuck to the bottom of my pot. I have used a dish towel and soap with warm water as well as tried to boil off the stains per the care instructions, but that did not work. They cook the food very well, but cleaning them is a challenge.

This was a gift from my kids for Christmas. It's performance is fine, but I don't like the fact that I have to wash them by hand and not in the dishwasher. I use a dishwasher liquid that contains no phosphorus (Melaleuca product) and wonder if that would make it ok to put in dishwasher. The lids are hard to store. I haven't figured out the strainer. Is it a rice cooker?
