 Great Performance, Great Price Jun 22, 2025
I've had this set for about a year. My set was made in China. Used daily, and frequently entertain parties of 20+. I've used All Clad, etc. Cuisinart Multiclad is an EXCELLENT product. Performance is nothing short of terrific. I've had ZERO problems and highly recommend this set. For those new to stainless pans, follow the easy care instructions. There are good tips in other reviewers posts here (barkeepers friend, moderate/low heat, acidic foods should not set in the pans, etc.) Enjoy!

Glad to finally have a great cookware set! Jun 14, 2025
I have purchased several different brands and styles of tephlon cookware over the past few years. I am so excited about this new set of Stainless Steel cookware! I have had them about a month now and I really enjoy cooking with them! I am still trying to get used to using Stainless Steel fry pans, but I'm getting the hang of it.
I highly recommend these pans. I am looking forward to owning these for many, many years! They have a nice feel, clean up quickly and easily, and are quite hefty pans.

 Stainless Steel = Rust? May 25, 2025
[Update 7/13/09: I sent my rusted lid back to Cuisinart. Today I phoned them to check on the status of the warranty request. They claim the lids are not covered under the warranty and they now want $4 to mail my lid back to me. I am very disappointed with their service. Buyer beware]
I purchased this product based on the positive reviews I found on Amazon and elsewhere. My previous set of cookware was Anolon non-stick. It lasted about 6 years and I was generally pretty happy with it but I decided I wanted stainless. I originally purchased a set of All-Clad but returned it after I discovered Cuisinart Multiclad Pro at 1/3 the price. However, now that these pots are rusting I am second guessing my decision.
When the set first arrived the cookware seemed somewhat lighter than All-Clad but otherwise looked great. The first time I tried to boil water I noticed it took much longer, and I had to use a higher heat, than with my Anolon. I was a bit perplexed by this since everything in the Cuisinart instructions says to use a lower heat since it conducts so well. Apparently high heat will stain/discolor any stainless steel. But if the water won't boil the only thing to do is crank up the heat.
Other than the heating problem I have had some issues with sticking. I am sure some of this has to do that I am a novice when it comes to cooking with stainless. I am pre-heating the pan so that is not the problem. I am also experiencing a white, chalky residue in the bottom/sides of these pans. I am not sure if this has to do with the hard water in my area, the types of foods I am cooking (starchy pastas, potatoes, etc) or what. But I find myself having to frequently bust out the BKF (Bar Keepers Friend) to keep them looking clean. I guess the reality is that stainless is never going to be as easy to clean as non-stick.
However, the biggest problem I am having with this cookware is that the lids have started rusting. Most of the rust is contained to the lid handle and the area where the handle is riveted to the lid. The only logical explanation for this is that the lid is not 100% 18/10 stainless steel. I have found at least one other online reviewer who described this exact same problem. Apparently these pots used to be made in Korea but my set was made in China. I can only assume that the quality has gone down considerably in recent years vs. when the bulk of the positive reviews were written.
There is a lifetime warranty on the set so I am going to contact Cuisinart this week to see what they will do for me. If you are in the market for high-quality, lower cost stainless steel cookware you might want to try an alternative like Tramontina.

I liked the cookware set. It cooks meat well. Scrambled eggs tend to stick if you do not use enough oil in the pan. All in all I would recomend it to my friends. I think the price is real good for the quality of the product.

Happy with purchase Apr 16, 2025
After reading the concerns with nonstick (I guess I'm a little behind on news!), I decided to switch to SS. So far, I've been very happy with my decision, and extremely happy with the quality of the product. It does take a little getting used to. I found that it does make a big difference immediately after cooking, to remove the food and rinse the pan or soak if needed. I have a gas burner and must keep on medium low or low. The handles do tend to get hot if I'm cooking for a long time, but have now ordered a 5.5 quart to add to my collection! I would definitely recommend this set.
