[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is a very nice set! I’m still learning how to use stainless steel but I’m very happy with the way it cooks things!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect starter kit for any home or a great replacement for the old ones! Cuisinart has always been a great brand in our home with no issues so far. Large selection of items in this batch.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this set about 2 weeks ago to replace my non stick pans. I'm loving the even heat distribution and cool touch handles on this new set! Looking forward to many years of use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this set to replace old pots and pans. The stainless steel looks good, and I love the way these pans cook. I use them daily. I went on to purchase an additional wok and pan, same as the classic chef set. These pots and pans will be in my kitchen a long time.

Not worth it
on August 29, 2026
Posted by: Tricia4
Gender:Female
I bought the 17 piece classic and have pitting on the bottom of several sauce pans but the most disappointing was the 8 quart stock pot. The first time I went to use it I saw all the cracks and dents. This pan would not even hold water. I am very sorry I purchased this set of pans because I don't believe any of them are worth the cost.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, August 31, 2026
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Chef's Classic™ Stainless 17 Piece Set. Pitting can sometimes occur when salt is added to cold water or cookware is not thoroughly cleaned after use, but cracks, dents, or a stockpot that will not hold water are not expected. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901097794 so we can gather additional details and assist with available options. Thank you for sharing your feedback; it has been forwarded to the appropriate team, and we appreciate you taking the time to bring these concerns to our attention.

This is my first time transitioning from teflon to stainless steel. So far it has come to getting use to it by cooking on low fire and making sure we take care of the pots as soon as we use them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a set of these pots. I bought them about 3 Christmas' ago. I love them and I'm so pleased, I am going to purchase two more sets. One will go to my daughter. I love consistency of sturdiness and the level of heat range.
