Had a Cuisinart stainless Steel set along time ago and it lasted for decades. Very disappointed in the new one we just purchased and how easily now a stainless steel pan set stains. It also is every easily scratched with just using a stainless steel spoon. Can't use a rubber or silicone spatula because your food sticks to easily and can't turn a lot of foods over. So you resort to a metal spatula and it tears it up. Seems to be a very soft metal used now.
Love the appearance of this set and the nesting feature is wonderful! One downside for me is that after first use the interior, although cleaned using a non-scratch scrubber, is what I’d call stained. It does not return to its original sheen which is disappointing. But it’s a very nice set overall.
I am a fan of stainless steel. This set is beautiful and space saving. I bought a new stove and this set was my choice to go with my stove. I have not had any scratches on my glass top. They are beautiful to look at and great for cooking and baking. I am hoping they last my family for many years.
This is my first Cuisinart purchase and I am very happy with this set. I love the nest feature. It's such a space saver and the stainless steel is wonderful. I am amazed at how quickly they heat up. I have nothing negative to say. If your on the fence, I give this set my highest rating.
Good pans, but skillet needs higher sides to saute

Great pans & quality. Heavy enough to cook well, but light enough so easy to handle. Only problem are the skillets which are nice size & weight but the sides are very low so you have to be careful when you sauté to keep items in the pan.
I like the way the pans nest, but ... as soon as I started cooking with the pans, they became spotted or blotchy looking - and I was careful not to put them on super high heat.
Burn marks all over the outside of pans after first use. Spots staining the inside of pans after first use, not burning food but inside of pans are burned and NOT STAINLESS! I am not impressed and do not recommend
