This is the 3rd set of Cuisinart pans I've purchased in 30+ years. When I retire my old sets they still have YEARS of use left in them so I donate them! They are VERY easy to clean both inside and out, heat evenly & can be used in the oven!
I was looking for a starter set of SS cookware and settled on these. They heat evenly and the handles are comfortable though the larger pots and pans are a bit heavy especially when washing by hand. I only have two complaints with them. First, no mater what you do, eggs will stick to the pan (especially scrambled) and leave you with a mess that will take an hour to clean. Second complaint, when adding salt to a pot to boil water DO NOT USE course salt! It will leave brown and black spots on the pot bottoms. I was able to figure that out quickly, and now dissolve my salt in hot water then pour it into the pot. Also, I have found that Bar Keepers Friend glass cook top cleaner is perfect for removing light staining (it removed the salt staining from the pot as well as the heat marks off the bottom) and keeping a nice polished look to the cookware. They take some getting used to as they do not require much more than a medium flame to cook most things. I am liking them and outside of the two issues mentioned I have no other complaints nor regrets in buying them.
Good quality for the most part. They are easy to scratch. I haven't used any metal utensils or abrasive sponges and I still managed to scratch a couple of them BUT it is not super noticeable and they still work great. Beautiful set!
This cookware is exactly what I expected. It has a great variety of pot/pan sizes, and the quality of the cookware, including the lids, is high. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because when you hand dry the bottom or wipe it with a cloth, there is a gray residue that comes off even when it is clean. This is odd. It could be because it is new and it will eventually go away. But it does not happen inside the cookware. I really do love this cookware.
