"Warranty Service is Terrible and Pans easily wear" 2010-06-16By
Ariel A. Diaz (Boston, MA USA)
I bought these and was generally happy with them until they started exhibiting significant wear on the bottom and side of the pot. I had it less than 8 months, and it has a 3 year warranty on workmanship, so I started that process.
The Warranty process is absolutely atrocious:
1 - They won't tell you over the phone whether the defective pot will quality for the actual warranty or what the specific requirements are.
2 - They make you pay for shipping in BOTH directions (ridiculous considering it is likely their defect).
3 - They don't give you a notification that they have received the pot. I had to call and I found out they have had it for over 2 weeks, and the technicians still haven't even LOOKED at it.
4 - The process takes 6-8 weeks, but they don't tell you that when you set it up.
5 - The customer support representatives on the phone are rude and seem to know very little about what's actually happening. And the hold times are terrible.
One of the reasons to buy good cookware is that they are supported by a warranty, Cuisinart needs to stop shying away from the process and step up their warranty efforts. At this point I'll never buy another Cuisinart product again.
"Faster, more even cooking" 2010-05-17By

It distributes heat so well that now I can put my stove on 5 or 6 instead of 7 to boil water and it will come to a boil in a much shorter time. Searing on the stove then moving to the oven was wonderful. It cooked much faster than my previous methods (cheap pans or baking dishes) and still managed to hold in all of the flavor and moisture. Sticking foods: if I used non-stick spray, olive oil or something of that nature I was good to go; if I didn't and food stuck, I just put a little soapy water in it, let it sit and it came off easily.
I have a full time job and I'm a student so it was really important to me that I could throw it in the dishwasher. It came out clean with no scrubbing but, as with all stainless steel, the inside did discolor a bit from water spots. This isn't at all important to me as it doesn't affect cooking performance but it did come with care instructions that say a little warm vinegar will take it out.
It's got a great weight to it. I went from cheap pots from IKEA to this so the weight was a bit of a surprise, but I like it because it's durable and the helper handles make it easily manageable. Speaking of handles, they obviously don't stay cool when placed in the oven but they were pretty good with stovetop use. They got a little warm, but not hot and I really enjoyed not having to fool with a potholder. The shorter handles (the helper handles and the ones for the stock pot) do heat up more than the longer ones so use a bit of caution.
The best surprise, for me, was that the lids from the other pieces also fit the skillets so they can be used like a saute pan. So functional!
Overall it's perfect. It's got the even heat distribution that I wanted and doesn't have the chemicals or Teflon that my husband didn't want. It was a great compromise for us. The only thing I do wish is that each of the items in the set were sold individually. It's got a lifetime warranty so if anything happens I could have it repaired or replaced, but it would be nice to have more than one of some of the pieces.

it is good, but not my perfect set.
One piece had some rust from the beginning. Stainless steel discolors after use, have to clean it with vinegar.
If used properly, doesn't stick.
"No regrets" 2010-02-10By

I bought this set 2 years ago and I have to say I don't think I could be happier. This set is incredibly durable and has suffered through my daily use and abuse and is still in amazing condition. I am a bit of a foodie and love to cook so I've used these pans for pretty much everything you can imagine and I certainly don't treat them like delicate flowers.
This set was a bit of an impulse purchase for me, I looked at a lot of sets but for no other reason than gut instinct settled on this one and I've never looked back. The cookware has excellent heat distribution and is very easy to clean. Any time I've burned something on or let something sit too long all I have to do is fill the pan with hot water let it soak and I can wipe everything away. The handles do stay cool when being used on the stove stop so no fussing with awkward pot holders.
The only thing that I might consider a drawback is that the part on the inside where the handle is attached can sometimes hold on to a little food so it needs a few extra seconds of attention when cleaning.
Otherwise highly recommended.
