Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 7-Piece Cookware Set

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 7-Piece Cookware Set Review

We have owned this set for six months and are quite pleased with it.

We were leary of stainless at first, but wanted to make the switch from non-stick finishes after hearing some of the negatives about them. The price fit our budget, and we really liked the smoooth lines of the style.

Cleanup is NOT the hassle that some people would lead you to believe. Cheese has been the only thing we have had an issue with. Easy solution -- put a bit of baking soda and water in the pan and boil for a short time on the stove. The mess wipes right out! To keep them shiny we use Bar Keepers Friend.

Strongly recommend spending the extra to add on the 12-Inch Stainless Everyday Pan with Dome Cover. This along with the 7-piece set covers all of our stovetop needs.

If you do use these for oven cooking, be very mindful of the fact that you must use a pot holder on the handles until they cool off.
