Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 17-Piece Cookware Set Review



Our first set of cookware was nice, but not very stable. So when we looked into this we did lots of research. We originally were worried about the handles being to small and becoming hot while cooking, but that has NOT been a problem. Originally we thought the weight of the pots and pans might be an issue too, but they are still lightweight enough that my petite 5'3'' wife can maneuver all the pots and pans with food or water in them by herself. We also thoroughly enjoy washing the dishes since the nonstick almost allows for the dishes to be clean just by running water over them. One important note is that you need to review the directions at how to use them. They get extremely hot based on their engineering so you do not need to cook things on higher temperatures. We have been very satisfied with our selection and would recommend it to others.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 17-Piece Cookware Set Specifications


From Cuisinart's Chef's Classic series comes this handsome, durable cookware with triple-layer construction. The exterior is hard-anodized aluminum, which is even stronger than stainless steel, with an encapsulated pure aluminum core for quick, even heating. The interiors of the pots and pans feature Cuisinart's Quantanium nonstick finish, a high-quality, long-lasting finish internally reinforced with titanium. Little oil or butter is needed when cooking on this ultra-smooth surface, and low to medium heat is recommended, along with non-metal utensils. All the lids are break-resistant glass, and handles are pure stainless steel, riveted for strength. Every piece is oven-safe to 500 degrees F.

Cuisinart puts together all the most commonly used pots and pans in this comprehensive 17-piece set. Three covered saucepans hold 1-1/2, 2, and 3 quarts, perfect for those everyday tasks such as warming soup, cooking rice, or steaming vegetables. The 8- and 10-inch skillets slide out perfect French toast and pancakes, not to mention eggs over easy with bacon. Use the covered 12-inch skillet or 4-quart covered sauté pan, both with helper handles, for stir-fried vegetables, sautéed seafood, or braised beef. The covered 9-quart stockpot is perfect for big batches of chili and hearty soups. Two bonus items are the all-purpose covered steamer and deeper pasta insert that fit the stockpot and do away with having to use a colander for draining. Cleanup is easy, just a quick wash by hand takes care of any food residue. Nonstick, hard-anodized cookware is best kept out of the dishwasher. Cuisinart covers this gift-worthy cookware set with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews


I'm Glad I Bought This Set! - G. Ballman - Maryland

After reading some of the other reviews I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing this set of cookware. I was concerned the handles would be too small or uncomfortable to use.

This cookware set is simply excellent. The cookware heats quickly without scorching (I swear meals cook in much less time), the handles are secure and comfortable to use, the non-stick surfaces are excellent requiring VERY little effort to clean.

My wife and I love this set.






Excellent Gift - L. Anderson - Utah
I purchased this as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law to replace a very old and worn out set of pans. They absolutey love everything about them. My daughter-in-law says they have given her a new love of cooking again because they cook so well and clean up so well. They are not bothered by not putting them in the dishwasher because they almost clean themselves. This set is an excellent choice for any level of experience cook. Great to give and great to receive.



What a bargain! Great purchase - highly satisfied! - Chris C. - Orange County, CA
Not much to say other than great product, price and timely delivery. Fantastic experience!



Non stick means the coating doesn't stick to the pan - K. Stevens - Layton, UT USA
I purchased an entire set of these pans and was thrilled initially. After a short time, the non-stick coating started flaking off. Last week I was picking pieces out of my food, I could literally grab an edge and peel it off the pans. Set looks nice, but invest in something else.
