Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel 4-Piece 12-Quart Pasta/Steamer Set Review
I recently purchased the stainless steel 4-piece 12-quart pasta/steamer set and I don't know how I managed without one. This is an essential tool for every cook. I shopped several high-end department stores for a 12-quart steamer/pasta set and did not find any with the same quality as this one from Cuisinart. Besides the fact that the others were not stainless steel throughout, the price at the department stores were twice what I paid for this one. If you want quality, stainless steel, price and good looks, I certainly urge you to buy this one. 5 Stars plus!!

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel 4-Piece 12-Quart Pasta/Steamer Set Specifications
Simmer that crowd-size batch of three-alarm chili or boil up enough spaghetti to feed the whole block in this 12-quart Cuisinart Chef's Classic stockpot. Made of professional quality 18/10 stainless steel that won't react with acidic foods, the pot features solid cast stainless-steel handles, a tight-fitting lid, drip-free rim, and a mirror finish that retains its brightness through dishwasher, freezer, broiler, and oven use up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. For even, conductive heating, an aluminum disk is encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel in the base. The stockpot measures 9 inches high and 11 inches in diameter; 14-1/2 inches including handles.
What makes this four-piece set special is its versatility. Included is a deep pasta insert, so you can lift out and drain your cooked pasta all in one fell swoop, without needing a colander; and a steamer basket that sits in the top portion of the pot and allows you to steam broccoli, shrimp, pot stickers, and all kinds of healthy, fat-free foods. The pasta insert and pot have the same riveted stainless-steel handles, while the basket features a swinging handle that tucks out of the way when the lid is on top. Every piece is dishwasher-safe. Cuisinart covers the pot set with a limited lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews
good value - B. Labat -
This is not the thickest of pots, but it is nice and works well. I actually get better pasta results now. I have expensive commercial pots and pans other than this one, and for the money, this is a great value.
very impressed - Hala Makhay -
I was looking for this product all over the stores. The quality and name recognition played a large role in my decision. I was very pleased with my purchase.
Dissapointed (by product not Abe's) - C. Pitman -
I have many Cuisinart products in my home that I've been very happy with but this was the first cookware (pot). I've only used it a few times and have noticed rust spots on the top rim of the pasta insert. I also noticed the lid rocks a bit and doesn't fit nicely.
I called Cuisinart and they will only ship replacement product to U.S. address (I'm in Canada). Abe's had kindly agreed to accept the replacement product and then ship to me, however, I'd have to pay for shipping to and from Cuisinart (warranty doesn't cover this) and that's about the price of the pot. I probably won't buy Cuisnart stainless steel again...and am rethinking the future purchase of their electric stainless steel skillet....concerned it may rust, too.
