I love my new pots and pans. They are so pretty, very heavy and durable feeling, and the lids are perfect for easy storing. I did burn some butter in the bottom of one. I tried the tips for cleaning it... boiling an inch of water and tablespoon of dish soap for 15 min.... but it didn't come off. Otherwise, this set was reasonably priced and perfect for my needs.

I've always wanted a really nice set like this and I am glad I got it. It's a bit more labor-intensive than I'm used to. Thankfully I ordered Barkeepers Friend at the same time; it makes all the difference and wouldn't recommend any one buying this cookware without it. (I did make the mistake of leaving BKF to sit in the small frying pan. I don't think that pan will ever recover.) And I haven't solved the sticking problem if foods like potatoes and eggs, even with oil. All in all, I am happy I bought it, but to do have a couple of "no muss, no fuss" back-up frying pans. But do understand that it takes some work to keep it looking nice.

Got these for a gift at Christmas time and really like them a lot. The quality is great, I really do think water boils fast and food cooks quicker than my old stainless steel set. Only reason 4 stars vs 5 is when I wash them in the dishwasher there sometimes is a rust spot on handle or rim/lip. So far I’ve been able to rub it out each time but something I’ll keep an eye on.

I purchased these at Christmas and thus far very satisfied. I honestly looked and looked before I picked these. The pans clean up nicely. They hold the heat evenly. I was so tired of waisting money on nonstick and the coAting wear off. WELL NO MORE. Excellent product,

First, the overall product is very nice, look, weight, fit and form. These are good quality and totally functional. Having followed the care instructions to a tee, my only gripe is the bluing on the inside bottom of the fry pans and that it seems to take longer cooking because of never using high heat. I also had to buy all new cooking utensils {wood and silicone} to avoid scratching up the interior walls of this set. Also need to adjust learning curve on cleaning them, just soap and water soaking. No scouring or anything harsh like steel wool pads! Do not use cooking sprays! Only actual oils or butter, otherwise you will get that sticky never coming off residue! I learned this the hard way years ago on a girlfriend's All Clad pan, ouch! Would have been helpful to know that up front. Other than learning to pamper them, they look to be something that will last for years to come.

I purchased this cookware about 1.5 months ago after doing a ton of online window-shopping and research. I'm very happy with my decision. The 3.5-quart covered saute pan is my favorite and most-used item in this collection. All pieces are heavy-duty and of high quality. I've had no trouble keeping them clean, but I don't have a dishwasher so have only hand-washed them. The lid handle doesn't get too hot.

This set is very durable and made well. The pots and pans cook evenly and warm very quickly. I don't like the fact that I need to get use a special cleaner to clean these pots since they are stainless steel they won't look completely clean otherwise. Also, you don't want to use anything that is abrasive since the pans scratch easily.

We’ve followed the recommendations of heating the pan on medium before adding oil. Absolutely amazing results! Great taste and the easiest cleanup without shedding any coating (that happens with non stainless cookware) coming off. Nothing but love for this cookware!

I've used plenty of other cooking sets in the past and I grew accustomed their gradual failure over a short period of time. Cuisinart and it's stainless steel doesn't do that. It's very clean, feels the heft of quality and craftsmanship. Cleanup is simple and food tastes much better.

I like the even heat distribution and quick response, however, the sensitivity to heat was underrated in the product brochure. It is very easy to burn foods even at a much lower than normal temperature. Cleaning is not as easy nor as effective as one might be led to believe. I have not had any bad scorching or cooking with foods that might etch the surface, yet the insides do not restore to the original luster by following the instructions.
