Cuisinart Smartnest 11-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Space-Saving Nesting Design

Love this set so much!!! It stacks for convenience and space saving which works well with my drawers in the Kitchen. Quality is superb. Love this brand.

We upgraded to this stainless steel set from a nonstick set. What a difference! I can rest assured that we don't have toxic chemicals seeping into our food. The cookware cleans up easily with a quick soak and handwashing or running through the dishwasher. I love the nesting feature and the lid holder. The sizes of the pans are perfect! I highly recommend this set!

I checked several review websites in my search for new cookware to replace my non-stick and anodized aluminum cookware. This set was not only recommended but it also was quite affordable. The reviews weren't wrong. They conduct heat very quickly and feel solid in hand. I also love the way they nest but don't touch each other. You won't regret getting this set!

This cook ware is easy to cook with and keep clean.

This is the first cookware I've purchased since 1971 which was Club Aluminum. I was looking for something to approximate it in thickness and heft. I absolutely did not want non-stick as i prefer the latitude of cooking methods available without the nonstick surface. This set has proved to work well under various cooking methods with no problem. It is easy to use, clean, and store. I keep my pots and pans in a drawer so the “SmartNest” is a very much appreciated feature, as the handles do not protrude at an angle.

So far so good, heats evenly and scrubs cleanly with a little Barkeeper's Friend and a light duty OCelo sponge. Stockpot is small, 6qt and I wish it came with a pasta insert; bought a separate Cuisinart 10qt stockpot and use a stainless colander now for pasta cook/drain.

I am very pleased with my purchase of Cuisinart stainless stell cookware They are good quality, food does not stick to the pans. I have only used one pan so far to make fried eggs and consistently the eggs have come out good, I used to have hard time with it before. Also the hadles does not get hot as the pan gets hot. The pans are very easy to clean. I recommend these cooking set..

Stainless steel pots and pans are very new to me.. for once in my life i was able to afford a nice set of stainless steel. After using for about 3 months.. i have to say the learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of using and cleaning... i ly think ill ever go back to coated pans. Low heat or High. It warms quickly and retains so much heat its ridiculous.. a close 2nd to my cast iron. Clean up takes getting used to but at least you dont have to worry about scratching and its always a good stainless steel buffering away from shine. I would definitely buy again if anything happens and id recommend to anyone who wants a great char on food and effortless glide on eggs all on the same pan.

Overall, this set is what I was looking for, a stainless steel nesting pot and pan set. I think it would be nice if all of the pots were slightly larger (I've yet to use the small one) and if there were lids that worked for all of the pans, but I've been happy with it as a whole.

This set replaces an older one; the snug fitting glass lids are great. And I like the “nesting” feature for compact storage.
