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.

I really do love these pots and pans. They’re heavy but they’re not too heavy. They heat well and instructions say don’t put your burner above medium heat. If you do that you won’t have any problems. They also clean up nice with some barkeepers friend if you use a soft sponge. The only drawback is the lids. I was thinking I was ordering glass lids and they weren’t. They are OK but when I lift the handle the handle is a little warm but the lid itself is hot. So I accidentally touched the inside of my arm and although I didn’t get any first degree burns, it was hot and I jerked. I would give the pots themselves five stars but the lids a four star.

Pros: Great set of cookware - we are not 'chefs' and this set includes most everything we need. We have an induction stove top and the pans heat fast, cook everything we tried very well. Compared to other brands, the best thing is the pans are not overwhelming heavy to lift. Cons: A little hard to clean, need to use a soft scrub. Lids for pots do not include a few glass lids.

Bought the product to avoid major problems with lower priced pans. The small frying pan, which I use almost daily, has developed a high center. When you put your butter and eggs in they all run to the sides. Therefore I suspect after many uses the rest of the set will react the same. Minor but still a pain are the metal lids that do not allow you to monitor cooking .Pans have never been above medium heat

I am delighted with my purchase. Each pan and cover is well-crafted, delivers even heat throughout. The result is a delicious dish that tastes the way it was meant to taste, not over or under cooked. I’m able to use less heat for a shorter time and clean-up isn’t a chore because food doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. It’s been fun using a few of my old French recipes that call for using multiple pots & pans! Caution: handles do get hot when in use for long periods of time. Larger vessels may be surprisingly heavy since they are made with triple-ply stainless.

I was looking at the All Clad sets and found this gem by Cuisinart. I have a Mauviel 10-piece copper set and am familiar with quality cookware. I wanted something for everyday use that was a little bit lighter, as the Mauviel set is the same weight as cast iron and requires more upkeep to keep polished. Hence, the search for a stainless steel set with good cooking characteristics, based on what I am used to, that would be a bit lighter but still heavy enough for consistent cooking. The multiclad set by Cuisinart fit the bill. The aluminum core goes all the way up the side walls for consistent cooking, heats quickly and evenly, and has been a pleasure to use. It is light and easy enough for my wife to use without being light or flimsy. This appears to be a knock-off of the All Clad and I am very happy I saved the money because I don't know what I would get from All Clad that I don't already with the Cuisinart set. Very pleased with my purchase. As with all quality metal cookware, don't overheat or turn the heat too high when cooking. Let it reach the temperature that you want before adding your proteins, etc. and enjoy the even cooking. I have found the set very easy to clean post use. I never use a dishwasher for good cookware and when I am done cooking, I simply let it cool, add hot soapy water, let it soak for 10 minutes or so, and then rinse and wipe clean. Very easy and low maintenance for metal cookware. Great price. I only wonder how long before it becomes popular, given the price for value, and the price goes up on this great set.

They stain from heat. Don't buy. I have buyer's regret. After cooking rice and testing the pans with water drops, those stains are forever in the pot and pans and no amount of washing removes the stain. No problem with cleaning and sticking. But I'm nervous that with any food I cook, the shape of the food will leave heat stains.

Always wanted this cookware. Not what I expected. I find it hard to cook with. Have to watch heat very carefully, when frying food sticks and starts to burn if your not very watchful. Must dry off as soon as you wash or spotting occurs. Only positive is it looks good.

This set replaced some tired old cookware and we couldn’t be happier. The set easily cleans up with a litlle bar keepers friend and looks shiny and new regardless of use. Nice even cooking and a high quality feel make this set a feat choice. Less expensive than competitive products and just as good if not better.

We have had this set for a month now and absolutely love it. We follow the directions in the use and keep pot holders handy for the hot handles and have no problems at all. Clean up so far has been a breeze - again following the directions. We were looking for a non-PFA and non-PFOA cookware and are so glad that we found this! We also bought a set for our daughter!
