Cuisinart Classic 11.8" Induction Stainless Steel Saute Pan with Helper and Cover

Very high quality set. I absolutely love it. It's my first stainless steel set and there is a learning curve for the nonstick frying pans, but if you watch some videos and read about cooking with them you can do it easily. The handles on the pans themselves have stayed cool for me, but I did have one lid that got too hot to touch. I definitely recommend buying Barkeeper's Friend cleaner to have on hand to clean the pans with if you have tough stains, or if it gets discolored. The discoloration is not damaging to the pan and the cleaner takes it away. Otherwise I just use Dawn soap.

Complete set of stainless steel cookware for every need. Well made, nice handles that you can grip firmly and not just a knob. I had to buy new cookware for an electric ceramic cooktop after having a gas cooktop for many years. After much research, I ordered this set and am extremely pleased. I love that they are dishwasher safe, though a few pans have just a bit of discoloration on the inside bottom after washing. It does not affect cooking, so it's a minor thing. I would purchase these again and highly recommend.

My husband and I decided on this set of cookware to start married life with. I couldn't be more pleased! I haven't had the chance to use all the pieces yet, but the several I have, have been fantastic. If we need to expand our selection of cookware in the future, Cuisinart will definitely make the top of the list. Definitely recommend!

I like the measuring lines etched on the inside of the pots which eliminates looking for a measuring cup, the see thru glass lids, and the quality shine of stainless steel.

We love this set! It required us to kinda learn how to cook all over again, it only took a few days but well worth then re-teaching. Main problem we had was TOO MUCH HEAT!! low-to medium heat is all that is needed, unless boiling water of course. Once we learned to control our temp everything was non-stick. Now we never have to worry about teflon and other toxic stuff in our food and we have to break the bank to do so like ALL of the other stainless steel sets out there!! Thank You Cuisinart. Ya'll are our go to for all the other stuff we are going to replace.

Nice looking set. I like the way it feels. It's light and well made. I soon discovered that I need to learn a few things about cooking with stainless steel, but I'm finding them easier to use as I learn more. I think this set will serve me well for many years. The handles never get too hot to hold even when it's been on heat for over 30 minutes. The handles are attractive and fill comfortable to hold. They are also attached to the cookware in a way that is attractive and durable. For the money, I'm well pleased with this set and will recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a stainless steel cookware set.

I bought this set after upgrading to an induction stove in my home. While the pans do work just fine! I'm highly disappointed with is the mixed metals. I was expecting stainless steel as advertised not aluminum bonded to stainless. I would not have noticed it if, after one use they had not started pitting inside bottoms and tendency to stain black after being washed. After using a magnet to verify the dissimilar metals, i was disappointed to say the least.

I really thought I was getting some great pot set. Cuisinart is a household name and are highly recommended. But I am very disappointed I with the set. I only used it once and all the pots have started to get rust marks. I only washed them with dishwashing liquid and towel dried. I only had these for close to a month. Terrible

I've used stainless steel before and was excited for these but I was so disappointed. I had some weird black pitting in a few of them straight out of the box but thought ok. Then no matter how low the temp stuff just kept sticking and burning. I did all the proper stuff with oils but nope. Also trying to do either grilled cheese or French toast the pan will become nasty brown and you will never get it cleaned back off. I've trying cleaning it with everything and even trying boiling water. Brand new pans ruined after one use!! I'm returning mine and going back to nonnstick.
