5 out of 5 stars Great cooking   November 11, 2008
Good value for the item. Manufacturer could package better as one pot got a ding in the surface from lid slipping inside during shipment.


5 out of 5 stars Great Price, Excellent Quality   November 11, 2008
This is a great product. The food cooks evenly, nothing sticks to pans which makes for easy cleanup. I have used all of the pieces including the steamers and they make life really easy when making pasta or steaming veggies. I would definitely purchase these again.


5 out of 5 stars Fantastic product at an even better value!!   October 15, 2008
This cookware is FABULOUS! I was originally looking for Calphalon and Circulon but decided to go with the Cuisinart after shopping around. They take a little longer to heat because it says not to use them on high heat and not being able to put them in the dishwasher kind of sucks, but they cook beautifully, and after all, that is why we buy nice cookware. They do recommend storing them on a rack and I bought one to store them on, they look great as a part of my kitchen decor. The little bolts that attach the handles to the pans tend to get dirty and hide muck, but if you are sure to clean them, they'll be cool.


5 out of 5 stars Love this Set!!   September 24, 2008
I think this a great set of pots and pans and for a great price! I have had them for a few months now. They heat evenly and quickly. They are non-stick and carmalize the food nicely, which teflon pans won't do.
I considered getting the stainless steel but it seems like they are known to be hard to clean. I love the fact that these are Soooooo easy to clean up!! I am very happy and would recomend this set. Great price, great cooking quality, easy to clean, and they look nice.



5 out of 5 stars Simply outstanding   April 23, 2008
15 years out of school and in desperate need of new pans, I researched for months on cookware brands, materials, pan-types and price. I purchased the Cuisinart 14-piece set based on my research & the enthusiastic commentary of so many other long-time users who found Cuisinart equal or superior to Calphalon (my other finalist.)

In every day use, this Cuisinart cookware has exceeded my expectations. The cookware pieces are attractive, well-made and perform exactly as described by the manufacturer. A smooth finish inside and out means that hand-washing is easy; food just does not stick in the pans. The rivets are easy to clean, too -- these are big pluses since my schedule does not allow for much additional time for chores.

I tend to use medium to medium-high heats for most dishes, and haven't needed high heat to get quick & even results. I don't have a kitchen large enough to hang the cookware pieces, so I stack/nest them in my cupboard, using Wonderliner padded shelf inserts between them to mitigate against any scratching. However, the Cuisinart Cookware's nonstick surface has been quite durable and the set shows no signs of interior nor exterior wear. The steamer insert is great for vegetables and Asian dumplings (I never use the pasta insert.) I couldn't find the steamer insert sold separately, and you can't use a metal fan basket steamer on the nonstick surface, so buy the 14- or 17- piece sets to receive it. I use wood and silicone-based utensils with the set.

I supplemented this set with the 12" nonstick everyday pan, which I use for paella & in the oven, and a 12" stainless steel skillet for meats I want to carmelize/deglaze, both from Cuisinart. All in all, it truly has been a terrific set for me; I couldn't be more pleased.
