Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless 7-Piece Cookware Set

Let me sum all the points of this Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless cookware set:

Positives:

• Cook evenly.
• Quality made.
• Handles stay cool, unless used in the oven (duh!). The covers do get hot; I just remove them quickly or with a potholder.
• Easy enough to clean (for stainless).
• Look good (nice and shiny).

Negatives:

• Heavy, they don’t slide around while cooking. But, hard to dump out when they are hot and full (if you are 5′ and 100 lbs).
• Not non-stick, using butter fixes that.
• Take awhile to heat up on radiant flattop stove; once it does, it heats evenly. I blame the stove.
• With time, there has been some discoloration inside.

Overall, this is a great product especially considering the affordable price.

• Set includes 1-1/2-, 3-quart saucepan; 8-quart stockpot; 10-inch skillet–all with lids
• Cookware and lids constructed of mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel
• Aluminum encapsulated in base ensures quick, even heating
• Stay-cool stainless-steel handles; dripless rims on lids
• Oven-safe up to 550 degrees F; limited lifetime warranty

What people said about this Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless cookware set:

The Bad:
I am pleased with the performance and style of the Cuisinart Chef’s Classic. Looks good and cooks generally ok. I just wanted to mention a few problems I’ve had. 1. Dishwasher safe-the say ok but they don’t recommend it because food particles from other items in the dishwasher may scratch the surface. 2. After one use, the pan interior surfaces fail to maintain the original luster. The manufacturer provides very specific cleaning directions, but even following them I find the pans hard to maintain. 3. They recommend using only lower heat-follow it! Foods burn easily even on medium heat – K. Mccabe

The Good:
“Any shopper who is name conscious should stop for a moment and seriously consider this seven piece set. Cuisinart, a mainstay in the kitchen offers the cook in the household this wonderful 7 piece cookware set and Amazon.com offers it at an exceptional price. The set features 18-10 Stainless Steel construction that makes each piece feel substantial. The design also aids in convection and, thus, requires less heat from the stove top but that Heat is not transferred to the handle making the handle cool to the touch.

Each piece features a high shine and bears the brand name on the side. Each piece is also rated up to 550 degrees which means it could double as bakeware. The only thing I would have liked would have been a 12 inch rather than a 10 inch skillet but with that said, the 10 inch skillet is a great piece. – Martin P. McCarthy
