Amazon.com Review
Cooks shopping for midweight stainless-steel cookware at a mid-range price may well have found their match with this cookware set from Cuisinart. Equipped to handle most common cooking tasks, the 14-piece set includes a 1-1/2- and 3-quart covered saucepan, an 8- and 10-inch covered skillet, a 4-quart covered saute with helper, and a 9-quart covered stockpot, as well as a 7-3/4-inch covered steamer insert and 9-1/2-inch covered pasta steamer insert. As part of Cuisinart's Chef's Classic line of cookware, all pieces are made of 18/10 stainless steel that has been polished to a brilliant mirror finish and that won't react to acidic foods. An inner core of aluminum ensures that foods heat quickly and evenly without hot spots that can burn foods. The riveted stainless-steel handles on the cookware stay cool on the stovetop and the matching 18/10 mirror-polished stainless-steel lids seal in moisture and nutrients for healthier, more flavorful results. In addition, the cookware pieces provide tapered rims for drip-free pouring and all pieces are dishwasher-safe. All cookware in Cuisinart's Chef's Classic line is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and covered by a limited lifetime warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Best Stainless Steel set for the price June 15, 2008

I've been using this set for about 4 months. For two months I looked at different stainless steel cook sets (Costco brand, the Cuisinart MultiClad 12 pc and others) in the $200 range, and settled on the Chef's Classic at $160.
The value for the money is excellent. The set is pretty, sturdy and well constructed. The handles stay cool and the pans heat up evenly. As my mother would say: "every pot has a lid". The steamer is ingeniously designed to fit every pot.
Yes, the stainless steel pan and pot bottoms do discolor (doesn't everything?). But that's not a big concern for me, as I use my set every day, and am more concerned about how they perform.
I'm expecting this set to outlive the much cheaper, 20 year old set it replaced.
I also got a 5.5 qt Multipurpose pot with Glass cover and a Santoku knife as a bonus mail-in gift which sweetened the deal.
Cuisinart Cookware Set June 11, 2008
Audio Lady (Chatt, TN)
I did my research on stainless steel cookware on quality and price. I found that Cuisinart had the quality I wanted and Amazon.com had the best price and service. Everything I have purchased from Amazon.com has been at a good price and the service was fast.
Great Pans June 8, 2008
Carolyn
I got these pans because I was worried about toxins in the teflon type of pans. These pans cook food beautifully. At first I was using heat that was too high which caused food to stick to the frying pans and required a lot of soaking to get out. Now that I put the heat much lower, I have not had any trouble. I love being able to pop the pans and lids into the dishwasher - they come out looking like new!
 Poor Quality Stainless & Machining May 8, 2008
Frank P. Herrmann (Naples, FL)

I bought this Cuisinart cookware to replace a set of Revere Ware that was well over 40 years old. I should have kept the Revere Ware. First, the Cuisinart Chef's Classic stains and spots even if I just boil water. There appears to be flaws in the stainless. The interior surface is not so smooth as other stainless cookware, so food sticks unnecessarily. The bottoms are not well machined and polished and, as a result, stain very easily.
I bought this Cuisinart Chef's Classic cookware with a pot rack to store and display it. Now I am embarrassed for anyone to see it because of the stains and discolorations. Because of this poor quality, the Cuisinart Chef's Classic cookware is hardly worth the price. I could have done much better in a discount department store for less than half the cost. My son bought the Kirkland brand from Costco for less and he has a far better quality product, by far.
I had problems with the poor quality of an expensive Cuisinart blender, but took a chance on the Cuisinart Chef's Classic cookware based on the positive feedback on this site. If there were a way to give it back, I would. The quality is so poor, I definitely cannot recommend it to anyone.
Good Product May 7, 2008
Balfour (Cummng, GA)
Beautiful product, not as heavy weight as I expected. Short term this cookware has exceeded expectations, long term is yet to be seen.
