Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 17-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: Cuisinart
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful set of cookware and, I think, a great value...I paid $189.99 for 17 pieces, 15 of which are pots, pans & lids and 2 inserts..for pasta and for steaming. I like that there are 2 of the same size lid. You always get 1 lid that fits 2 items in the set and I would always use them at the same time and only be able to cover 1. No worries with this set--there is 1 lid for each. Also, I did a lot of price shopping before I picked this one and it's the only brand that calls it 17-piece and gives you all cookware. Every other set I saw that was over, say, 10 pieces-- the extra was knives or plastic utensils vs pots and pans. If it was 17 pieces, 7 to 9 of them were bowls, utensils, knives, etc. Rip offs for the prices they charged. And finally..the outside is nice and smooth, not ringed or otherwise textured...makes for nice cleanup and hopefully they'll stay nice looking longer than their predecessors. The ONLY thing I'm not thrilled with is that the lid handles do get warm...even hot. The pot and pan handles don't, but the lids definitely do. But for the price and quality? I have potholders.... Otherwise I would give it 5 stars. What the heck..5 it is! Customer Review: Cook like the pros for a fraction of the price!!

I have been using this set for almost 3 weeks now. I'm very impressed with the non-stick features of this cookware. I've made several recipes and so far, not a thing has stuck to these pans. Machine dishwashing is not recommended for this set, which isn't an issue for me, but it's something to consider if you hate washing dishes by hand. The handles of this cookware do not get hot, but I've found since they're a lighter weight aluminum compared to the pan itself, it can be somewhat of a balancing act to move a filled pot. Overall, I'd definitely purchase this set again. It's a large collection of very useful sizes and the overall quality cannot be beat for the price.Customer Review: PRO: great non-stick, durable, easy clean; CON: non-stackable, sliding lids
Summary: 5 Stars
I was using Visions by Corning before this set. The only benefit to the Visions over this set is the pots and pans are stackable when you turn the lid upside down. I cannot stack this set since the lids are rounded and slide when upside down, so I have to reserve an entire 2-shelf cabinet to store these. No probelm since I have the space for them, but may be a concern if you do not. However, the non-stick feature is AMAZING. I have purchased supposed non-stick pans in the past, but they would flake off or scratch within a few months. This set is extrememly durable, and I expect this to last me a lifetime (fingers crossed). It feels heavy in your hand, and the handle does not get hot even if the pot is boiling water. I am a horrible cook, and I burn a lot of food, but this set stands up to my abuse. My pasta no longer sticks to the bottom of the pot, and the pan forgives me when I do not put enough oil in and start burning my fried chicken. Everything cleans up in just a few minutes, even when I do burn my food (I really need to learn how to cook). My only other con besides non-stackable is that you cannot tip the lid to let out steam. I cannot seem to get the lid to rest on the pot properly to vet it, and it seems to slip back in to place. Perhaps that shows how awesome the non-stick feature is!! Also, the lid vibrates a lot when I boil water, which is not a problem, just an observation. Once I learn to cook, I shouldn't have any of these issues!!!Customer Review: Cuisinart it's definately quality

The reason I decided to purchase these was simply because of the great customer service I had recieved from Cuisinart. I had purchased a frying pan and one of the 115V tines broke. I called Customer service and they sent me out a brand new pan no questions asked.
These pans are great however they are NOT dishwasher safe. The outside finish will dull (Don't ask) but I recovered it with some olive oil. They wash quite quickly and nicely. Definately non stick. Great even heat.
Customer Review: Great cookware.
