Cuisinart17-Piece Cookware Set, Chef's Classic Steel Collection 77-17N

I love my pots! The various sizes are great. If you heat your pots before putting food in them, the food doesn’t stick. They do heat up fast. They are easy to clean but the inside bottoms do get discolored at times. I use Bar Keepers Friend. I add a little BKF with a little water after I cleaned the pot. Just rub it around with a cloth and It shines them up like new. I have had them for months and they still look brand new. They are not the heaviest pots but do a good job. I have never made a dark roux in these pots because I have a heavy pot I have used for years to make my roux in. I think these set of stainless steel pots were reasonably priced.

This was a purchase 2 years ago. We could not be happier with the overall performance of the Cuisinart Set. What we do use we use nearly every day and you would be quite impressed to see they still look like new. We mostly use the large skillet and even if we seem to overcook something, (oops burned) cleanup has always been not a issue. If we were to do anything different it would be to purchase a smaller set, as we seldom use most of the sauce pans, skillets and never seem to use the stock pots.We would highly recommend this stainless steel cookware and buy again (can't imagine wearing these out) if we needed to replace. We have a gas stove with cast iron grates but bottom still looks good after 2 years.

As someone who loves to cook and has been on the hunt for the perfect cookware set, I am absolutely thrilled with the Cuisinart Cookware Set. This set has completely transformed my kitchen experience, and I can confidently say it's a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced chefs alike.Unmatched Quality and DurabilityThe first thing that stands out about this cookware set is its exceptional build quality. Made with 18/10 stainless steel, these pots and pans feel incredibly solid and well-made. They offer both strength and durability, and I've already noticed a significant improvement in how they conduct heat evenly. The triple-ply construction (with an aluminum core) ensures that heat is distributed quickly and uniformly, which makes cooking faster and more efficient. There’s no hot spot or uneven cooking, whether I’m simmering sauces or searing meats.Comprehensive 17-Piece SetThis set comes with everything you need to tackle any cooking task. The 17 pieces include a wide variety of saucepans, skillets, sauté pans, stockpots, and a steamer insert, which means I’m equipped for almost anything, from making delicate sauces to preparing hearty stews.Each piece in the set is highly functional, and the fact that it comes with multiple lid sizes adds a level of convenience that makes cooking even easier. I love that the lids are clear, which allows me to monitor my cooking without having to remove the lid and lose heat.Easy-to-Handle and VersatileOne of the standout features of this cookware set is the ergonomic, riveted handles. They are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, which means I never have to worry about burning my hands when I’m stirring or moving a pan. The handles also feel secure and sturdy, providing a confident grip, even when I’m transferring a heavy pot or pan from stovetop to oven. Additionally, the cookware is oven-safe up to 500°F, which is perfect for dishes that require transitioning from stovetop to oven. This versatility makes it easy to cook a wide range of meals without needing separate cookware. I’ve baked chicken, roasted vegetables, and made frittatas all in the same pans with no issues whatsoever. The non-reactive interior ensures that food won’t interact with the material, so I don’t have to worry about acidic foods like tomatoes affecting the flavor. Whether I’m making a tangy marinara sauce or a rich, creamy risotto, the flavors stay pure and unaffected.Effortless CleaningCleaning this cookware set is a breeze. The stainless steel surface resists food sticking, and most messes simply wipe off with a gentle scrub. The pans are also dishwasher-safe, though I usually hand wash them to maintain their appearance. I’ve found that they clean up quickly and easily, which makes post-cooking cleanup less of a chore. If you’re in the market for high-quality cookware that will last for years, handle a wide variety of cooking tasks, and look great on your stovetop, I cannot recommend this set highly enough. It’s truly a fantastic investment for anyone who values great cooking tools!

Like that I have 4pan sizes to select from. Like that has glass top so I can see into pan Without lifting the lid thus keeping Heat in the pan.What I Don't like is the insight about the pans was t given out with the rest of subscription. Not to exceed MED. HEAT. Items stick to bottom of the pan an not to use abrasive cleaning products. Lids inner change pans to pots ✓. I DL like the set ! Cleaning can be a Real Bore at times.

I got this on sale, and so glad I bought it! The pans are sturdy, thicker than most, no rusting, great finish, and are wonderful to cook in. I use all of them (not at once) in a household of 2, and they've elevated my cooking experience tremendously. Easy to clean; I use Sponge Mama for most things. Anything stubborn, a little steel wool takes it right off. It also helps to soak the pans after they cool down. I will not use coated pans, so these are perfect for me. The sizes and varieties of the pans are perfect for my, and I'm sure many others, cooking experiences. These are so well made, they'll outlast me! Totally recommend

Finally pulled the trigger to replace an old Circulon cookware set that was badly scratched. After hours of research, I decided this 17 piece set fit my needs best. They're just beautiful! I live the smaller doup pot and glass lids are a big plus. After watching a chef's tutorial about using the cookware and learning how to clean it- I jumped in and made soup, fried eggs and was super impressed. This set is as functional and affordable as you can get.

I was very impressed with these pots and pans. They were a dream to cook with, no sticking and easy clean up. Highly recommend them.

Two pans were stained on the inside of the pan. I was disappointed as the items were misrepresented.
