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

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

This set has everything you need and then some. It does a great job of heating up quickly and evenly, and while the handles do get a bit warm, they are not so hot that you cannot handle them without potholders. The non-stick coating lives up to the hype, and best of all, you don't have to worry about it like the old teflon coated pots and pans. I have used metal utensils and there isn't a scratch on them. They also clean sell in the dishwasher. Each piece has a lip around the rim, which makes pouring a much easier (and cleaner) process. I highly recommend the 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
