Endorsed by none other than the legendary French chef Paul Bocuse (the only restaurateur in the world to be awarded the prestigious Michelin 3 Stars for over 36 consecutive years), Cuisinart's Chef's Classic stainless cookware is high quality, yet affordable. Unlike many lines of cookware, it can go in the dishwasher for clean up, yet the aluminum core within the base provides even and efficient heating. If you've been thinking of investing in a new set of pots and pans, you'd do well to consider Cuisinart Chef's Classic. This set offers pieces in a useful range of size and function, and with the added value of set pricing.
Sautéing wild salmon and stirring a perfect risotto take on spiritual dimensions with this classic Cuisinart cookware. Made of professional quality 18/10 stainless steel that won't react with acidic foods, the pots and pans in this set feature solid cast handles, tight-fitting lids with drip-free rims, and a mirror finish that retains its brightness through dishwasher, freezer, broiler, and oven use up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. For superior, even heating, an aluminum disk is encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel in each base. The set includes: 8- and 10-inch skillets, 1-1/2- and 3-quart covered saucepans, 3-1/2-quart covered sauté pan, and a 8-quart covered stockpot. Cuisinart covers the set with a limited lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

"i really wanted to love these...." 2010-04-14
By C. Floyd (new york,NY)
Ok...even if these pans were bad to awful they would still be a great deal for the price. A lot of what the other reviewers say about discoloration with these pans are true. Pretty much from the moment these pans heat up they get brown spots on them. This doesn't affect cooking at all but it does take away significantly from the lovely shine that they initially have. The other thing i will say is that they are a bit lighter than I had hoped. The metal is a bit thinner than I expected. Overall though it's an ok deal for the price.

"Cracks" 2010-04-13

I ordered these pots for my mom. She initially loved them, however, I just got a call today and she told me that the large pot began to get three large cracks. It is so bad that the pot will not even hold water.

"Cuisinart has always been a favorite brand of mine" 2010-04-12
By R. Forbes (Los Angeles, CA USA)
Cuisinart has always been a favorite brand of mine. These pots are top quality stainless steel and are a pleasure to cook with. I did find that the handles heated up a bit when cooking, but overall I'm really happy with our choice and would get them again. Also I have to this product which is AMAZING for keeping your pots and pans clean. I was hesitant about purchasing stainless steel cookware (over non-stick) because I know food catches a lot quicker and they do get marked easily, but Bar Keepers Friend gets all the marks off easily without scratching. If you're going to invest in these pans I'd highly recommend forking out the extra $3 and buying a container of this stuff. It takes the hard work out of cleaning up.

"Great for a starter set of cookware" 2010-04-09
By LHick (Cali)
Service and delivery from company was excellent; very fast and professional! The cookware itself is very nice looking coming out of the box, and does do its job correctly as far as heating up the food in it. I only mark it down because it does not clean up well at all. One use, and you can tell the set has been used. Maybe I'm not cleaning it right (kitchen sponge and dishsoap)? Beware: this is not non-stick cookware! I would rate this set as great for a starter set for someone setting up a new home/apartment, but if you LOVE to cook, this is not the set for you.

"It's alright." 2010-04-08
By O. Lee
I am a college student and I love to cook. I also own several Cuisinart kitchen gadget (5.5qt stand mixer, ice cream maker, and White Prep 11 Plus Food Processor). But I'm very disappointed with their REBATE service. It's been almost 5 months but I have not yet received my 8-in Santoku knife. I contacted their customer service and they replied me in 8 days. Anyhoo~ after using the set on daily basis for 5 months:

Pros:
Affordable price for the whole set (bought mine for $109).
Works fine.

Cons:
Thin-bottomed (so sometimes you gotta watch out, otherwise, it's quite easy to burn and get those brown spots). *also compared to Emeril's Stainless-Steel Cookware, much thinner bottom.
No glass lids

Would I buy this product again for the same price?
Probably not, I would def. save up more money to get better set.
