Cuisinart Tri-Ply Copper Cookware Set (8-Piece)

First: MUST MUST MUST MUSTBar Keepers Friend. Home Depot. Comes in liquid or powder and 16oz? bottle is ab out 3 dollars. If you have copper you MUST have this to clean them. This set hangs from our pot rack in the kitchen... it is our second full set... They look amazing all the copper and we also have a copper milk can and fireplaced outer surround? covered in a copper so it all goes together and looks amazing.Heats up quick, easy and nicely. DO NOT SLIDE on your range top or you will scratch the bottom. Pick up and move then set down again. Use a wooden spoon for anything and never metal or that will scratch and then the last thing to know is after each use... you really should wash it and then use the cleanser I told you about above.HERES THE DEAL THOUGH. THE BKF... BAR KEEPERS FRIEND IS SO DAM EASY TO USE. WET A SPONGE OR WET A PAPER TOWEL. POOR THE BKF LIQUID I BUY... ONTO THE PAPER TOWEL AND WIPE IT ON AND BEFORE YOUR EYES WITH NO EFFORT AT ALL THE COPPER STARTS TO COME ALIVE. I DON'T WEAR GLOVES... MAYBE I SHOULD I DON'T KNOW BUT I DON'T AND NEVER HURT MY HANDS BUT COMES OFF SO EASY AND PUTS THE COPPER BACK TO THAT AMAZING SHINE. RINSE UNDER THE FAUCET AND THEN WHEN ALL OFF... DRY IT. I ALSO USE IT ON THE SS ON THE INSIDES AS WELL AS THE HANDLES. WOW!!! NO REALLY WOW!!! DOES IT CLEAN IT WELL.So, we have two full sets of Cuisninart Copper sets... and we use them all the time. Not really a hassle to shine them up again after use... cause you will be cleaning them anyway. If you just use soap and water you will NOT get a nice shine like you want. They will not shine up. 3 bucks... this cleanser after each use... hang them back up and POW!!! Impact they look so good and amazing,.. we literally took pictures of them hanging because it looks so good. We love these pots and will not go back.Some may get other copper pots but this is Amazing Quality. Sturdy, looks, function... everything. All is perfect. Now comes the one and only thing I don't like and I can see they did it to save money. The lid covers are not sturdy thick SS but kind of thin and will do the job but I would not say to you. QUALITY... I would say... it works but? You know? If they were thick and heavy and solid... Wow, this would be a complete amazing set but as it stands... still gets 6 stars.... or was it 7? One last thing. The BKF also works on water spots in bathrooms, porcelian, stainless steal... read the bottle... the stuff is amazing, truly and for 3 bucks... you can't go wrong. I don't work for them if anybody asks. You will see what I mean when you use it on the copper. You will see.

I absolutely love these pans!!! They cook evenly and once you learn how, and what, you should cook in them, they are amazing!First, I have learned that no one pan does it all; for frying eggs I use ceramic or nonstick, for ham and beans I prefer cast iron. With that said these pans are great for most things and go from stove top to oven brilliantly.If you goof (see photo) all it takes to clean up the inside is hot soapy water. If you really burn something badly just add warm soapy water, bring to a boil, turn off and allow to sit for 15 minutes--Easy Peezy!As for the outside, I have a gas stove and the bottoms discolor. In doing my pre-purchase research I saw a recommendation for Wrights Copper Cream which I purchased and my family loves to see the before and after cleaning with the copper cleaner (see photo) that stuff is magic! I used it to polish a 25-year-old copper tea kettle that was completely tarnished and it looks like new. Be careful though and read the directions, you should wear gloves when using the polish. I don't wear gloves but when it comes into contact with a cut it burns like you wouldn't believe!These pans do take a little bit of work in upkeep but they are not a two year and throw away set, they are made to last... so there’s always that. The handles do get warm and if you have the heat on high or for a long time they will get hot. Also, the lids get hot but you get used to working with a pot holder or a towel.I would recommend this purchase, they are good quality and well worth the purchase price. I am very happy with them!

Cooks well and evenly, if you're switching from cheap pans to these then follow the directions and be careful when first using them to get used to the new heat settings, requires less heat to get these babies going. They're unbelievably beautiful out of the box as well, but the copper plating does oxidize so they're a bit higher maintenance to keep as beautiful as they are straight out of the box.
