Stainless steel forever
on February 12, 2026
Posted by: Jacco. D

It's a very good product. Exactly what I expect from cuisinart. I've had them a year and haven't been disappointed. I love the versatility, sear on the stove toss in oven to finish. The larger pans are great for 1 pot dinners. 2 of mine do have manufacturer defects which is why I gave 4 not 5 stars but don't affect performance. Since these are composite do not put in dishwasher or soak the entire pan in water. Stainless steel cookware is the way to go. Better performance than nonstick and less maintenance than cast iron. This is best budget option I have seen.

Awful

Absolutely everything sticks to these pans. Potatoes, eggs, you name it - the worst pans I’ve ever had. I’ve tried “seasoning” with oil and cooking in ample amounts of oil. I would not recommend.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, February 11, 2026
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the 77-17N stainless-steel set and appreciate you sharing your feedback. Stainless steel requires preheating the pan before adding oil and allowing food to naturally release once properly seared, as adding food too early can cause sticking. We would be happy to walk through detailed cooking tips to help you achieve the best performance from your cookware. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8900522096 for assistance.

It is good so far, nothing sticks, handles don't get hot, now the tops can according to heat you cooking on but you don't need to cook on high with these, medium heat works great for cooking with these. Lots of sizes for all things to cook, Love the big skillets hard to find them that size in a set.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Buyer Beware
on December 27, 2025

Gender:Female
I got this set as a gift from my mother for Christmas less than 2 weeks ago and I went to use my 3 qt saucepan for the second time time and noticed it has a scratch where the non stick coating is completely gone and a ring around the pan from the lid. I am disappointed as I expected more from Cusinart. My last set of pots and pans were Rachel Ray and they were much more durable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This cookware is exceptional. It is well constructed and provides even heating. It has just the right weight but I can easily lift it with my arthritis. I love it. I encourage you to try this cookware.

Horrible product DO NOT Buy

Horrible purchase, These have only been hand washed, dried and only used on glass cooktop for 3 months there is no reason why they should be falling apart like this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

To make this right, please contact us at 1-800-726-0190 so we can assist you directly.
