    Amazing Cookwear
    by Tammy, NJ
    January 5, 2011

    I've been cooking for 25 yrs. I have knew OUTSTANDING cookwear would make my job so much easier, & have my food turn out exquisite! These pots & pans make me feel like I'm cooking in Diamonds & Gold. They cook food fast & evenly, yet are very forgiving if you forget to check on something for a few minutes. I'd buy these again & again & again. They are far & beyond the best stove/stove to oven cookwear ever produced!

    This Is In My Opinion The Best S/S Cookware On The Market That Doesn't Cost $999.00 ; I Paid $249.00 ; Wonderful! Be Advised That You Really Have To Lower The Heat On These, They Cook Fast & Get Up To Temp. Very Quickly. Bar Keeper's Friend Is A Must For Proper Cleaning.

    This set was an excellent buy for the price. The set does everything and even can go straight into the oven. Clean up is a breeze as long as you follow the instuctions that come with the set. I would highly recommend this set for everyone.

    I received my shipment in a timely manner. I have used just about every piece in the set and am very pleased with the overall performance of the cookware. The only problem, (which may be for some), is that the cookware spots on the interior after initial use. Maybe it has something to do with the water here but each piece after use and cleaning has spots that appeared in the bottom on the interior. I would still recommend the cookware if you can get past that little problem.

    I finally invested in a great set of pots & pans. I have followed the directions for cleaning and have not had any problems. I did however, but the stainless cleaner becauase our water left a residue and especially when cooking with ingredients with starches it left a film. I did have to start using more oils &/or butter so the food doesn't stick, but it was very easy to clean. These also work great in the oven. This is the only set that I have found able to handle the heat.

    My First Stainless Cookware & I Love It!
    by Sandra, AL
    September 25, 2009

    I have used the no-stick coated cookwear for well over 30 years. I have always wanted to try stainless and after all these years....finally.... decided to take the plunge. I looked at different brands, and sets, and found this set online at the Betty Crocker store. I read the customer reviews and decided that this was the one I wanted. Once I decided on this brand and set I then priced shopped my local stores as well as on online and Betty Crocker had the best price for this brand and particular 17 piece set. I love this cookwear! I like how you use a low heat setting when cooking with it and I have had no problem with clean up. I do not have a dishwasher and do the dishes myself. I wash up as I cook, so as soon as I get something completed and into the serving dish, the pan goes into the sink as the manufacturer recommends. Also, I have a small kitchen and storage space is limited. This cookwear has allowed me to get rid of all of my other pots, pans and skillets and I have actually now acquired more space! A complete 17 piece set, a well known name brand, stainless, a lifetime warranty, energy saving (cooks over a low heat), easy to use and clean and at a great price ($249).....I highly recommend this set of cookwear!

    Love my new cookware!

    August 24, 2009

    Before buying a new set of cookware, we researched many brands and decided to buy the Cuisinart stainless steel set. We are very pleased with the look and perfomance of all the pots, even though the bottoms show heat spots from frying or sauteeing after cleaning. We feel that they were a great value as well!

    Excellent Cookware
    by Grace, PA

    I don't know why I put off buying stainless steel cookware. I am thrilled to pieces with this stuff. It's pretty, it's cooks well and cleaning it is so easy. Buying the set saved a ton of money but I did buy, separately, a 6-qt pot. Love having a lid for every pot and definitely like the stainless steel lids rather than the glass ones. Best money I have ever spent.

    Cookware
    by Judith, SC
    March 9, 2009

    After using Farberware for 30+ years and growing quite a collection, it was time for a replacement. I was looking for something of quality and with the pieces I was accustomed to and knew that I used over and over. I had purchased Calphalon set for my daughter a few years ago, but it was not what I wanted. I don't like nonstick coatings (perhaps due to bad experiences in the 1970s). I love this set by Cuisinart. I really wanted the larger stock pot. The pasta insert is especially great. While I have not yet used the largest skillet or the steamer, I am pleased with the weight and feel of all the other pieces and it cleans up beautifully.

    If you are looking for cookware you can't go wrong with this set!

    Wonderful product
    by Bruce, VA

    When the manufacturer reccommends that you not use metal utensils in their pots, they mean it! I accidentally forgot and used a wire whisk for less than 30 seconds, when I suddenly remembered, and immediately switched to a plastic one. Unfortunately, the damage was done. I now have some nice scratches on the finished bottom of one pan. Another word of caution, when the lid is on the pot for an extended period of time, the lid handle will get hot. Othewise, the pans work great and the finish and workmanship are truly beautiful. I am vey pleased!

    Present for Christmas for my parents
    by William, AR
    January 7, 2009

    My parents were using the cookware they received 41 years ago as a wedding gift and I thought it was time for an upgrade. They absolutely love this cookware and I still can't believe the price that I paid for it. Whether your a lifetime cook or just starting out this cookware is easy to use and well worth the price. Easy to cook with and most important very easy to clean.

    The cookware set is lovely and practical. We have really enjoyed them so far. We had a set of Farberware that had lasted us twenty years. We are delighted with our new set. It is important to read the directions, because the pans DO NOT require a high temperature to cook food well. That is something we are adjusting to...

    Just a thought...
    by Alfred, NJ
    December 14, 2008

    While having good tools is no assurance of achieving good cooking results - it can certainly help make the task of cooking somewhat easier. The Cusinart set appears to do the job. I have not had as yet occasion to use all of the cooking items. But, the ones that I have used thus far have worked farely well. One item to note is the need to understand the heating requirements when using this cookware - you just do not need as high heat that may have been necessary in using other cookware. This set really maintains and distributes the heat well when the heating is controlled properly. Second, always immediately after cooking let the cookware soak in detergent warm water before cleaning. Doing that simple step will enable very quick and thorough cleaning...

    I never have purchased a new set of cookware before until now. I am so glad I did because this is an awesome set of cookware. I researched several different brands and after reading the many happy customers' reviews about this set, I decided to give it a try. I consider myself to be a better than average everyday cook and absolutely love these pans. I follow the recommended cooking/cleaning advise and have no problems with food sticking or discoloration. They clean up easy and look amazing! Couldn't be happier with my new cookware!

    I read most of the reviews before purchasing this set. The pans do look very nice and the weight is great. Light yet durable enough for the home cook. However, the interior did not clean up well. I followed the directions but it still
