Cuisinart Smartnest Hard Anodized Smartnest® Hard Anodized 11-pc Set

As a chef, I am always on the go using mix and match cookware to cook for our first responders. As a gift from my husband, he got me this set and the stainless steel set so I have plenty of matching cookware to use and can serve more men and women in the area. The first responders and I thank Cuisinart for amazing cookware that will last me. Oh and my cabinets love the stackable style and holders for the lids.

These pans are the best. They do not stick so clean up is super easy and being able to stack them is a huge bonus!

The cookware is great. I've used each of the pans. They cook well and clean up very easily. What more do you need?

This is an excellent product. I cook things like hamburgers and chicken breasts with no cooking oil, so for me it's much healthier. The trick is to not turn the heat up too high, because these pots and pans are much more efficient distributors of heat. I use a meat thermometer and look for 165 degrees. Nothing sticks to these pans. Easy to clean.

Best pot and pan that I have ever owned. Love the product.

Good Quality and worth-it price. Trusted brand with friendly price.

Cooks beautifully and cleans up great. It. Is a nice looking set for daily use.

An amazing pot set. I love this brand!! I have others products and will continue to purchase over the years!!!

I got these to replace a ceramic coated cookware set that wore out. I've had cuisinart cookware in the past, including both stainless and hard anodized non-stick, so I kinda had a sense of what to expect with these. First Impressions: Not bad for the price, but also lighter than expected. The look fine, but their actual weight does make them feel a little "cheaper" than I'd personally prefer. Again, though, the price was fair considering. The nesting function seems to work fine. I think the claims that this is some great space saver are a bit dubious- I guess if you never combined your cookware in the cabinet before, I guess its true? I did appreciate that the lids came with a vertical rack which does help with space, though my slight gripe would be the largest lid on the rack does exceed the height of my shelves currently - a minor issue though ultimately. The non-stick seems to be working great. We'll see how long it holds up. Directions cite you can use these in the dishwasher, but I'd recommend avoiding this to keep the non-stick in good shape for as long as possible. I feel like the handles are a bit... big on these? Its kind of an odd complaint, and its not a problem to the point where it impacts use. They are thicker and longer than I'd personally prefer though, and they feel hallow, which I dont *love*. Again though, certainly fair for the price point.

I like that it is light weight, so easy to lift and pour from. It heats up fast. Being stackable is a real plus. I would like to see a lid for the 10 inch skillet. I would also like to see a stream insert for the medium sized pot. Without that I have to keep an old stainless pot to steam my vegetables to avoid risking damage to your pots with my steam insert
