Simply outstanding April 23, 2008
Melissa M. Bondi (Arlington, VA USA)
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.

I bought this set over a year ago, desperate for some decent pots and pans. I have been very impressed with cooking performance and they do clean up easily. Non-stick coating has given me no issues, still like new. HOWEVER, I am extremely dissappointed in the outer finish. It lookes HORRIBLE even though I always hand wash them as recommended. I was planning to hang my pots and pans on a rack, but these aren't something I'd want on display. I will probably go with the Cuisinart Pro Stainless next time.
Cuisinart is equal to Calphalon Hard-Anodized Cookware January 21, 2008

I have owned top of the line Calphalon Cookware in the past and recently purchased a 17 pc Cuisinart Hard-Anodized Set of Cookware. After using it for the past week I find it to be equal to the $699.00 set of Calphalon. I highly recommend Cuisinart Cookware to anyone at any skill level.

Cook even but the handles get hot and they scratch easily on the outside and have to be washed with sponge only. They look great! Compared to other cookware that we've used these are the best for cooking but need to be stored individually to prevent damaging.
Great Set December 19, 2007
Shopaholic! (Austin, Texas)
I bought this set on sale for 99.50 from Dillards and had to buy another one for my friend. It's a great set that has a little of everything. I especially like that it's non stick but you can use metal tools with it without risk of scratching it up.
I also like the fact that every piece has a lid. Not having lids has been a big problem with other sets that I have. The only thing I had to add when I purchased this was the 6 quart stock pot because the 9 quart is just too big for normal use.
I found the 5 quart stock pot for 40.00 dollars at Tuesday Morning.
