love this set. These need a little more TLC but we'll worth it because fried foods slide right out. Just follow Cuisinart directions and these pots and pans will stay pretty and easy to use.
I finally bought an excellent set of cookware. After years of second rate pots and pans that only last about a year of lucky. These are great to use as long as you follow the instructions which aren’t hard to follow.
This highly rated brand truly let me down. I had to return these because while they say they are non-stick and non-browning, within a week of using them both occurred. I recommend using a different set of pots and pans.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

No limits to what you can cook with this well-crafted and intelligently designed 17-piece cookware set from Cuisinart! All pots are oven safe to 500° while the lids are oven safe to 350°. The titanium reinforced cooking surface will last a lifetime. The aluminum core heats up quickly and disperses the heat evenly, allowing for no wasted time in cooking. The hard anodized exterior is easy to clean, and pleasing to the senses, while the handles are made of stay-cool, stainless steel, which are functional, and pleasing as well. *note* the steel handles on the lids will heat up significantly, so always handle with heat-protective gloves, or mitts when cooking.
I absolutely love my new Cuisinart 17-Piece Cookware Set. It's been about 10 years since I've bought new cookware and wow! What a difference this set makes. It's lightweight, cooks evenly and cleans up easily. I love all the different sizes and that the cookware can go into the oven. The handles stay cool on the sauce pans and the frying pans but the little handles on the pots and the lids get hot. You will need to use a potholder.
