Amazon.com Review
Sautéing wild salmon and stirring a perfect risotto take on spiritual dimensions with this classic Cuisinart cookware. Made of professional quality 18/10 stainless steel that won't react with acidic foods, the pots and pans in this set feature solid cast handles, tight-fitting lids with drip-free rims, and a mirror finish that retains its brightness through dishwasher, freezer, broiler, and oven use up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit. For superior, even heating, an aluminum disk is encapsulated between two layers of stainless steel in each base. The set includes: 8- and 10-inch skillets, 1-1/2- and 3-quart covered saucepans, 3-1/2-quart covered sauté pan, and a 8-quart covered stockpot. Cuisinart covers the set with a limited lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri

Stain easily and hard to clean
These stain very easily and are very hard to clean. I would recommend going with a different set.

Simply not that great
Other than the fact that these pans are nice looking and cheap, there's nothing good about them. If you want pans to hang in your kitchen as an accessory and don't cook much, these are a great choice. If you actually like to cook, keep shopping. We replaced our Calphalon pans that we've had for 10+ years. I was hoping to find something that was less bulky, easier to clean and still offered high quality.

These are VERY light (which is nice for handling, but scorches your food on even the lowest setting). We do have an electric range, so perhaps it's different on gas, but it is a high end Fisher and Paykel cooktop that does function similar in heat conduction. They are also not easy to clean. We can now put them in the dishwasher (unlike our Calphalon) but usually just end up having to hand wash them because they don't come clean in the dishwasher (again, a nice dishwasher and the pan has been presoaked, etc.). Usually it's because food has been permanently affixed to the pan from the high heat.

Unfortunately, we're back to trying to find the right fit for us.

great for a starter stainless cookware set
I've used this set everyday since I received it. The skillet sears my steaks so much better than a non-stick pan! The sides do heat up more than the bottom but that's expected. I think this is great for a starter stainless cookware set.
