Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 14-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: Great cookware
Summary: 5 Stars
This was given as a gift. The person loved it. She is a professional cook and has enjoyed using this product. Will buy more Cuisinart Chef Classic cookware.Customer Review: Quality falling off ... beware of free offers.
Summary: 2 Stars
I have purchased several different Cuisinart items over the years and the quality of the pieces is noticeably different (and poorer) over the years. It is now made in China (what isn't) and the packaging is incredibly flimsy and cheap.
Also the last set I bought had free offers which disappeared from amazon one week after the purchase. If I hadn't cut and pasted the info when I made the purchase I would have been SOL. I am still trying to find out why Cuisinart's fulfilment center did not send the free offers, they have not replied to four emails so SOL there anyway. I noticed that some of the tags/barcodes that were supposed to be included in the redemption did not even exist anywhere on the packaging, so there was no way to comply with the terms of the redemption.
All are signs of a company going downhill rapidly so beware when purchasing Cuisinart pots and pans that it may not be up to the standards you expect, it certainly has not been what I expected.
Also be aware that any advertised free offers on amazon are not guaranteed and are no better than the company that offers them. Make sure you print or save all the info at the time of purchase because amazon can and will take it down at any time. This quite surprised me, that even following links from my account info I could not connect to the original offer information. Caveat emptor indeed.
Customer Review: Read Fine Print
Summary: 5 Stars
Love the cookware,the only problem i had was not reading the fine print which caused me to ruin the inside bottom (discoloration)of my stock pot,thank goodness it is the only pot i store in my cabinet,my others are displayed on my pot rack.I was cooking fresh collards from a friend and i always add a dash of baking soda to them in case they are bitter! After cooking them i washed the pot and the bottom was purple,pink and gray! I used the barkeepers and that did not work i was out done.I took the manual out and read it and found that it stated not to use lemon dishwasing detergent but nothing about baking soda i don't remember where i read it if it was on the box or the cuisinart web site but it says never to use baking soda in these pots.I have never owned stainless steel cookware before and figure that perhaps this review will help new users!Other than my own stupidity I give these pots 5 stars.Customer Review: Best Cookware I've Ever Used
Summary: 5 Stars
They heat quick, clean easy, and look fabulous. I highly recommend them over any of the more expensive brands. Customer Review: Good starter set
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased this set recently when I decided to replace all my non-stick cookware with stainless steel. It offers an excellent value for your money. The quality is good and the pots are beautiful. One concern is that the size of the pots is often either too small or too big for the needs of my family (2 adults, 2 six-year old girls). The pasta pot is huge. The small sauce pans are tiny. I'm happy with this purchase, but I wish they offered an in-between size. Also, I've only used my set for a short while, but the inside of most pots and pans discolored after the first use: it became dull and tarnished. I had intended to clean them in the dishwasher, but when I noticed this discoloration, I cleaned them immediately after use by hand with a detergent that didn't contain orange extract as they recommended. I couldn't get rid of this tarnish. I haven't yet tried the other cleaning products they recommend to see if that solves this problem. I just have never owned cookware (including stainless steel) that had this problem and I wish I didn't have to go through an extra step to keep this cookware looking like new.
