Wonderful!!
By Kendra M. Tessman
I am an avid home chef & treasure high-quality cookware. These are great! They are thinner (but harder) than a heap of brands, which I genuinely love. Lower heat settings may be applied for comparable results in other cookware, which saves energy, money, & severity of burns if the user is accident prone.
Some things to know:
1. These pans are designed to be hung on a rack. Hanging does save your cookware from a lot of those little injuries caused to them by stacking.
2. The Quantanium non-stick finish is like Teflon on steroids! I use regarding 1/4 the oil/butter I normally applied in the older versions of Teflon. As noted above, a lower heat setting is likewise necessary. These are very easy to clean (except the stainless steel “buttons” where the handles are attached – everything sticks well there).
3. Although they say “Metal Utensil Safe”, DON’T! Save the metal utensils for your cast iron & stoneware.
4. Non-stick cooking spray have a tendancy to eat finish on pans. Preserve them by washing well with soap & water as soon as they are cool. TIP: NEVER, EVER put a sizzling hot pan in water or dump cool water into it! This causes warping that fundamentally ruins the pan. Move the pan to an unused burner & let it cool naturally before washing.
5. With the little steamer insert, never fill the pan over one inch above the bottom of the insert. With the stockpot insert, 2 inches. This may be pushed to almost 3, but the mess from overfilling is big.
6. Enjoy & care for these pans! You won’t ever have to buy replacements for them as long as you don’t abuse them.

An Excellent Purchase!!! I love them!!!
By Stef330
I purchased this 14pc set of cuisinart pots and pans, after a great deal of comparings and buying goods around. I was initially more mesmerized in purchasing Circulon Elite, but I wasn’t too happy with the sizes offered in the set. Anyway, I am exceedingly happy that I purchased this set rather and here’s why…
The price is great! This is a high quality product! There are 14pc included and they are all in useable sizes, the only further and added thing you a lot of need is a 12″skillet, but I have been fine without one so far. The 4 quart saute pan is wonderful!!! And I utterly love the steamer basket, that was a huge marketing point for me because I steam veggies everyday! I am very impressed with everything regarding these pots and pans! The non-stick finish has been very lasting so far, and exceedingly easy to clean. They cook evenly with no hot spots, etc. One primary thing to note that makes this set dissimilar than most other hard anodized cookware, is that these are made with an aluminum core. So they have a hard anodized exterior and a non-stick interior, but the aluminum core makes them rather a bit lighter in weight to most other products. I consider this to be a positive thing, I don’t need to break my wrist washing a pan. But if you use your pans as weapons, consider something else. =) The exterior finish is awesome, it is a smooth hard anodized finish and very easy to maintain. Another review complained regarding the exterior, that “it looked cheap and no matter how she cleaned them they looked bad”… well, she’s crazy!!! These look awesome!!! The clear lids are very helpful, even though they do tend to get hot so using a rag when lifting is advisable. But handles on the pans seem to stay cool, no problem.
Anyway, if you are giving careful consideration to this cookware and are comparing it to more costly brands, then save your money! You will not be disappointed with this purchase!

Easy clean up, great price!
By T. DeWitt
I never write reviews, but this one is worth it! Cleanup is a snap, even baked on cheese. Normally I dread cleaning pans and just toss them in the dishwasher. I did abide by the instructions and washed them by hand. Egg, grease, baked on cheese, you name it. A little hot water and soap beneath the faucet does the trick.
I’m tossing my other pans.
