perfect for singles June 30, 2008 Coffee Lover (Los Angeles, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This little set is perfect for those who live alone or live with another person. I don't need a lot of different kinds of pots and pans. I live alone in a small apartment and my kitchen is very small. The less I have, the better. This starter set is the perfect size. I can cook just about anything with these.
Excellent Set - But Wait for the Sale July 11, 2007 T-Bone I purchased this set about 7 months ago when it sold for $62.99. So my first bit of advice is to wait for a sale. Many glowing reviews on this set. The Cuisinart Chef's Classic line is very affordable, and well regarded for the price (there was a review in CooksIllustrated). Handles are very comfortable. And if the pots/pans become discolored by heat, just use BKF (Bar Keeper's Friend) to make them look new again. To round out the set, get a 2-quart saucepan and a 12" skillet... TJ Max/Marshalls has great prices on open stock.
Great set, but the skillet sticks a bit February 25, 2007 Ann Marie Curling (Cadiz, KY USA) I love this set, the stockpot is just great for soups and stews and when you have to make large amounts of mashed potatoes or pastas. I also love the sauce pan to make sauces and such in. My only negative is the skillet. It just sticks a bit much for me. I use my non-sticks instead for frying. Other than that I consider this a great set.
pretty n efficient February 16, 2007 Allison Thornton (Jersey City, NJ United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this seemed like such a deal, i couldn't pass it up. i'm sooo glad i didn't. they are shiny, and purrty, and i didn't think they would work as well as they looked. Alas, they do! Conducts heat very well, and has just enough weight to be balanced on my gas stovetop. the handles don't get hot, so i am able to drain pasta, pour off broth, etc without the 'heat grimace' or the pre-blessing on my pot-holder's heat resistance. I'm very happy with these, and i would get them for everyone i know if i could financially do so. ;)
