Cuisinart 17-Piece Cookware Set, Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard Anodized, 66-17

I purchased the 17 pc set in Feb of 2019. I use them often, as I enjoy cooking. They really are such an amazing deal. They've held up very well over time. It's about time to replace the 10" skillet, but it gets more use than any of the other pans and it's getting scratched. I feel like this is a great set of cookware. My only real complaint is that the lids are not interchangeable. Almost every pot has it's own distinct sized lid and it takes up a lot of space in the cabinet. Otherwise, I hand washed them and they've held up well.

I recently received a high-end pan as a gift from my wife, knowing how much I love cooking. She invested a significant amount of money into this, but unfortunately, we were severely disappointed. Prior to this, she had bought me a Cuisinart pan, and I can honestly say it has exceeded all expectations, just like the set of pots and pans we also own from the brand. As someone who makes a living from cooking, I highly recommend Cuisinart. Their quality and performance are consistently impressive. Thanks for making cooking great again

Nice looking heavy pans, truly non stick. These heat evenly and are very easy to clean. I see some reviews of these sets complaining that the exterior finish is coming off. This is because they put them in the dishwasher. Dishwasher detergent is very caustic and removes anodizing from aluminum. That is why the instructions clearly state to hand wash only. Not the pans fault people didn't follow instructions!

If you can pick these up for around $150 you won't be disappointed. Ergonomics are very good. They are on the light side which makes handling easy but not so light that they are fragile. Nonstick is excellent but has some scratches already after a few uses. Hasn't affected performance and is not down to the metal but not as durable as some other coatings. Lifetime warranty so I'll see if that is honored if scratches get worse. Definitely recommend wood or silicone utensils. Even plastic seems to cause small scratches. Love the rolled edges on all pieces. No more drips and running down the side of the pot when pouring like my old set with straight walls to the lip. Glass lids are nice but seem fragile. No problems with them but handle with care. A drop or hard bang would likely destroy the lids. They heat very well and evenly. Recommended by manufacturer for medium heat and that really is plenty. My gas stove goes from 1-6 and I find that 4 is the max I ever need.

I bought the 10 piece Cuisinart set about a month ago and ever since I've been expecting it to fall to pieces, burst, turn to dust, explode, vanish in thin air, etc. etc... anything that would give me a reason for the low price of 140$ which is 400$ in stores. The truth is, it's too good to be true. But it is! This is the best cookware set I have ever seen by far. Nothing will ever be able to stick to these lovely pots and pans, no matter what you do, so be ready to say goodbye to all the non-stick sprays, oil, butter and soaking and scratching. They don't even need harsh soaps for a moderate cleaning up. It is true that they can burn food, but the instructions say that these are not meant to be used at high stove-top heats anyway, use a low to mid heat and everything will turn up wonderful. They are really good for slow cooking and can also go in the oven up to 500 degrees, which is required for some food I like to make. The glass lids are useful when making rice or seeing the color of vegetables but they can spill if nor handled properly due to the design, which could certainly improve since they are, unlike the pots, not very easy to clean. My handles have never got too hot unlike my previous Faberware set. I adore the small skillet which is just the right size for a 2 egg french omlete, in general, the sizes are logical and all come in handy. It does say they are metal utensil safe, which is not exactly true since it's OK with a fork or spoon, but any hand held electronic gadget can scratch the interior a little. Also, although the dark gray outer finish is beautiful, it seems that the colour will be wearing of in time.To sum it up, if you're willing to give some extra attention to this good-looking set (drying after hand washing, preferably hanging and keeping the lids clean) this is a deal you must not miss. BTW, It arrived very quickly and was packed great by Amazon. You won't be able to use any piece in this set at high stove top heats, so get a cheap large skillet for that kind of job, give away your old set and buy this one like I did. I doubt anyone will ever regret it. I would give 4 1/2 stars if I could due to the not-so-good lid design facor. Still, I love my cookware set, will probably be using it for at least 10 years to come and recommend it fully to anybody.EDIT AFTER 6 YEARSI've just gave away this set after 6 years of daily use. So, they didn't last for 10 years as I was predicting in my initially overly psyched review, but I still think it was a great deal for the price. Now that I have more money to spend and need a more professional level cookware set, I've replaced them with stainless steel Fissler pots and pans, which in my opinion, are the best you can get for any price, anywhere.

Good quality and easy to maintain

I LOVE these pans. They are a wonderful quality. Very thick, they heat evenly. The handles stay cool and they're rivetted on so they're not going to come loose in a week. They're a sleek smooth design and look great. They are wonderfully nonstick. The ONLY drawback is that the lids get a little warm, so you'll want to use a pot holder when lifting it off.

Muy bonitas ollas y de buena calidad, superaron mis espectativas
