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

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

Happy with the Purchase - Bob - Texas
Very easy to clean up. I have not cooked anything yet that has stuck to the pan. Good weight. Good looks.
My only cons are the handles are to long for my taste. It just means they take up more room in the dishwasher. Also, there is a bolt head inside the pan where the handle connects. This just creats a spot for food to get stuck on.
love it, love it, love it! - Penny - HEBRON, IN, US
This stuff is great! Had to learn how to cook all over again - alot less heat necessary. But even burnt food cleans easily. Washing as opposed to loading dishwasher is no big deal. Most of the time I didn't have room for pots and pans anyway and these clean so easily it doesn't pose a problem. I did buy a couple of additional pieces because I do alot of cooking, have all the family on holidays... So that just gave me some cushion on what I use. You won't be sorry if you get this.
Cuisinart Chef's Classic - D. L. M. Appraisals -
Excellent product. Was a bit concerned about the glass tops with hot handles. Turns out the handles can get a bit warm, but nothing that would burn anyone. The glass tops are solidly built and offer a good view of the food cooking.
Food cooks much quicker as a result of the construction, making this product a nice addition. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for new cooking ware.
Made in China - M. Peacock - Traverse City Michigan
The cookware is good. I'm distressed it's made in China though. If I had known this before I had ordered it I would have bought another product.
