We're cooking now !!:
What a great addition to our new kitchen appliances. The pans cook evenly, never stick, clean-up is a breeze. The 17-pieces allow us to cook almost anything "all at the same time". Great addition.
Love them:
I love this set. They are easy to use, great for cooking, and look wonderful. I use Bar Keepers Friend to clean them and no longer have problems with water spots. I think this set is going to last a lifetime.
Great for the price!:
We searched long and hard for a great set of stainless cookware at an affordable price and we found it with Cuisinart's Chef's Classic Cookware set. We have had them for four months now and have found that every piece is useful and everything we cook on it cooks up well. Many of the lids are interchangeable and every pan comes with a lid. One thing on the lids - they get pretty hot, which is something the product description doesn't mention. One thing to consider is they are sometimes hard to clean.... more info
Excellent cookware in use, care, and value:
I have used primarily the best non-stick cookware available and recently wanted to switch to a good set with no non-stick. I didn't know where to start or what I should look for in cookware. After some research, I decided to get this set because it goes from stove top to oven and looks great with a professional flair. After reading the reviews about staining and clean up, I was hesitant. However, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Read the cleaning directions! Use warm vinegar to remove discolorations... more info
