Cuisinart French Classic Tri-Ply Stainless 13 Piece Set

We purchased the French Classic Tri-Ply Stainless Cookware 13 Piece Set. We are very pleased with the set thus far. Heavy and well made. When using the frying pans, be sure to cook on low to medium heat and also, heat the pan before adding anything to it. It will allow for easy cleaning.

Concerned about nonstick and aluminum in my current cookware with the high heat on my new gas power burner range, I returned to stainless steel. As a Christmas gift to myself I chose the Cuisinart Classic French Tri Ply cookware mainly because its high quality, produced in France and not China and the 13 piece set offered the pans I was most interested in. I've used this cookware for two months and am thoroughly impressed with the heat transfer from the bottom up the sides - I have not found it necessary to cook beyond Low-Medium burner settings. I've prepared sauces, stews, pasta, chicken and eggs and used every piece - the 4 qt French oven my favorite. They clean up beautifully and without pampering, all pieces look brand new which is important because I display my cookware on a pot rack. The outer steel finish is hard and durable and absolutely wear resistant. Unpacking the set I was taken with the substantive feel of each piece, even the lids. I'm very pleased with my decision and choice and find myself cooking again with a renewed ferver and loving my new cookware!

I love these pans! I've used Analon, Hexclad and a few others and these are my favorities by far. The reason is that they heat up faster, cook more evenly, sear meat better, are dishwasher safe and I can just pop them in the oven to finish a dish. The handles do not get hot on the stove but they do in the oven. I'm stuck with an electric stove due to where I live so heating evenly and faster is very important to me. The only thing I haven't cooked in these is eggs and I have a ceramic pan for that which is non-stick and non tephlon. My only complaint, and it's not major, is that if you burn oil in the pan, it doesn't just scrub out. However, there are plenty of ways to get the burn out, such as baking soda and vinegar or heating the pan with water and dish soap till is just scrapes clean with a spatula. I found plenty of methods on YouTube. Again, best pans I've ever had!

So far this set has been great with functional-sized pieces. It heats quickly and evenly. Clean up is so easy. Very solid, great quality, handles are secure and comfortable to use.

I bought this set as a Christmas present to myself. I am a personal chef and have used Cuisinart pans for many years.The pans cook evenly and can go from stovetop to oven. The last set that I purchased had a copper lining, this set has aluminum. Because of how well they conduct heat there is no reason to cook on a high temperature. They are heavy pans, great for making candies. I use many types of cookware and Cuisinart is one of my favorites.

I have been using this set of Cuisinart pots and pans for about one month. They are a very high quality heavy stainless steel. I use them on a GE induction range. They heat quickly and evenly and clean up easily. I have had no problem with food sticking and any spotting is easily removed with Bar Keeper leaving them looking brand new. My only complaint is the lid handles get hot.

Loved how my new set of Cuisinart set cooks my cuisine evenly. The design of all the pans is perfect and much to my liking! My older pans were great but the sides were never high enough for me. I am a serious cook and love to create and follow new recipes. Thrilled I bought this set and the price was just right!

Have had my beautiful set for a month and I love it. Still like new because I follow up the exact usage instructions, as long as you do that, your set will last forever. Ah, and yes, what a difference it makes that this is not manufactured in China! Made in France!

Very nice easy to clean and I was skeptical. Advise to read all instruction on care it helps a lot. Fairly heavy probably not a good choice for those who have weakness in upper arms and wrists. Both of us really believe our food even taste better too !!

Exemplary quality, professional look, and excellent results for cooking meals. Admittedly we have only used half of the set but expect the results to be the same for all. We do recommend buying heat diffusers for gas stoves though to preserve the integrity of the pots and pans - and giving them a wipe down with distilled vinegar after cleaning to preserve the professional appearance.
