 "Not impressed as I hoped with this cookware" 2010-09-01
By Melissa R. Baker
I 'bought' this through my employer's recognition site, so I did not spend out-of-pocket money on this cookware.

BUT - I was very surprised to find these things from a higher-end cooking set.



1 - the lids aren't interchangeable. There are two smaller & two larger lids that vary only slightly in size.



2 - the metal is very soft. Upon tapping my spatula against the side, i could see tick marks where each tap hit. (i am a 5'2 woman, so i'm not exactly man-handling the cookware) And, there was a slight ding in the side of the larger skillet. I thought it was damaged but since the lid still fit, i kept it.



3 - i cooked eggs in the smallest skillet two days ago and can not get the residue off. I've tried everything! The only thing that barely works is my fingernail.



The sticking problem is the most frustrating. Something went wrong with my small skillet and I plan to contact Cuisinart directly. I'll post back with an update on my experience!

 "Quality Set" 2010-08-24

I love this set. Pans look beautiful. Cooks evenly. Washes with ease. Pans must be hand washed. Would give it 5 stars except the handle of the pans are metal and get so hot when cooking.

 "a better non-stick" 2010-08-16
By James E Cravens (Boston, MA, US)
I've been using a 'test' pan more than 4 months now and a set of pans for more than 2 months so I can not speak for how long they will last. The reasons that I have the set: This non-stick is a major step forward from the Teflon stuff. It is way more 'non-sticky' and the cook surface gets hotter when you need it to (we like our meat and fish seared on the outside and not cooked too much on the inside.



The pans are very attractive and the price is good (I bought a set a Amazon).



The manufacturer wants you to wash the pans by hand and not to store them stacked--BAH!. I experimented with one in the dishwasher and it got ugly and less non-sticky but at least while the non-stick surface is good, hand washing is very easy--I'm doing it now so you can rest assured that it's easy. As for the no stacking I've been putting rubber pads between pan's because we live in the city in a very small, totally open space and hanging pans does not fit with our decorating scheme. No chips or surface damage so far.



Oh yea, there's the 'green' business--if the pans last a few years then I'll give some credit for that.

 "So Far So good nice weight easy to cook with, Nice weight" 2010-05-13
By R.C Green (Midwest)

I've read many reviews on this cookware not everyone is happy with it. As for me it's going well so far. I've had it for over a week. I will be coming back if I have any trouble with it.



Aside from the non stick coating working well the biggest plus for this set is the weight. They are not excessively heavy. I have wrist and arm problems and I can't be lifting a pan that weighs a ton to pour something out. Heavy nearly cast iron weight has been the trend in upscale cookware lately. The weight is more similar to that of upscale cookware 3-4 years ago. Heavy enough to be sturdy and distribute heat but not unmanageable. The handles do stay cool on the stove. They are very sturdy but partly hollow which helps them stay cool. I like the eco friendly angle on these. They fact that they use recycled materials is nice.



I'm not 100% sure these are any safer than teflon. How can you be sure if they've just come out with it? Taking the precautions not to scratch your cookware and not cooking on high heats are probably the best precautions you can take. I've tried cooking with stainless steel and I get frustrated with the sticking and the cleanup.



Don't skip reading the directions!

I made sure to read the directions inside the box and the tags on the pans. You cannot stack this cookware it must be hung or you have to have enough space to line it up flat on a shelf. I don't have much space so this is one point that isn't convenient. However it makes sense that you wouln't want to stack non-stick cookware. Obviously you must use only wooden or non stick safe utensils.



You can only cook at medium or low heats with this cookware. High heat ruins it. This means I have to be more patient and wait for the pans to heat up. Once they do heat up they do a great job of cooking without anything sticking to the pans. Eggs do not need oil at all but you have to wait for them to cook long enough for the edges to start curling a little then you can turn up the edges let the egg cook a little longer then flip it. They slide easily out of the pan.



I eat long cooking steel cut oatmeal cooking it has been a little diffent.I have to keep adding water as it cooks I've tried adding the normal amount and it absorbs up in this set with the lid on and then it still needs more cooking. I have not yet tried filling it to the top with water. The oatmeal comes out nice and cleans up easily.



Like 90% of non stick cookware these much be handwashed:

You do have to wait for the pans to cool before cleaning them per the manufactures directions. I am being very careful to follow all directions to a T. No scrub pads inside the pan only a soft cloth. They give the ok for a gentle scrubbing on the outside only with the proper type pad. They are cleaning up very easily 2 minutes or less most of the food rinses right off without a cloth. There's only one set on the market I know of only one set that is dishwasher safe and they run about $600-$700.00. I believe the maker is Calphalon (not all sets by them just one set) they are sold exclusively at one department store online. I'd rather just wash them and save the money.



I am being careful with the lids I gently set them on the pan and remove them carefully. Some people slam lids on and off not helpful to a non stick finish!

I wish they had a smaller steamer pan. The pot with the steamer is good for something like corn but the size is a little excessive if you are not cooking for a large family.



The set is a good value. I probably got them for $130.00 at the time my shipping was free. If I get 3-4 years use out of these I will be happy. I don't expect them to to last a lifetime for that price. Even though they do have a lifetime warranty there's very little room for using it. They disqualify normal wear and tear and many other conditions that might make someone send a pan back. If go with Calphalon, Circulon or one of the more upscale cookware sets (that weight a ton) they have a more liberal return policy so long as you have used as exactly as directed they do replace pans. However all manufacturers make you pay the shipping to send them back for exchange. Cuisinart is no exception.



I would recomend this set based on my use thus far. If you have the storage space and are willing to follow directions by the manufacturer for using them I think you will be happy.



Update: One month later still immensely pleased with these pans. I do get a little impatient waiting for them to heat up on the medium heat. It helps to put the lid on at first and take it off if you don't need moisture in the dish you are cooking. I highly suggest getting wooden utensils. I got a set for 3 bucks from a Walmart type place. I notice even the so called high heat non stick utentsils start to melt just stirring food around. That leaves a potential to get plastic in your food or scratch your pan. So long as you clean the wood utensils up right away (no soaking)along with your pans they will last a very long time. Oil the utensils up after clean up with food grade mineral oil.



If you get a little food on the side of your non stick pan take another baking fill it with water and a little soap let it soak for 30 minutes or so and it will wipe right off.
