Never cook on high heat. Always preheat. Cooking with stainless steel is different once you master it you won’t cook with anything else. Just be patient while you’re learning. Do exactly as they tell you to do to maintain the quality of your cookware.
I read many product reviews before making this purchase. I’ve used it several times now and love how it performs, cleans and stacks for storage. I’m looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship!
Great product so far. 4 stars because the first set we purchased had a warped sauce pot. And instead of just being sent a pot, I had to pack up and return the entire set to the store for an exchange of only one item out of the entire set. But otherwise we have been very pleased.
It's been several years since I purchased an entire set of new cookware but a new ceramic top range merited this fabulous set! The Chef's Classic set has a beautiful, sleek, non-stick design with a size for everything along with lovely glass lids to keep an eye on my progress. In addition, Cuisinart takes the time to discuss the correct usage of these items in order to get the most out of them. Making minor changes to the way I cook - like not using the highest heat setting or putting them in the dishwasher - have not been difficult adjustments. Even heating, super non-stick, and proper-fitting lids are more reasons to recommend this set.
