Cuisinart 11-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set, Ceramica XT, Black, 54C-11BK

Good quality and size of the pots as I need it

First thing NEVER use Cooking Spray or EXTRA Virgin Olive Oil because they easily carbonize in your pan or pot very quickly when it is heated. The ingredients used in cooking spray are to harsh for the ceramic coating.Now on with my review:Before purchasing this set of cookwear I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews for different ceramic cookweare.I selected this set of cookware taking in consideration some of the negative reviews in which I believe people did not take the time to read the do's & don'ts. I also went online and read what kind of oils could be used and not used.Do not use anything abrasive to clean this cookwear. If you have stuck on food soak the pan or pot in warm soapy water for as long as needed.There is no need to add a lot of butter or oil to the pan or pot. Believe it or not your food will cook & brown evenly.Adding a little butter or oil helps the food not to stick and keeps a protective coating between the food & cookware.Use only silicone or plastic utensils that can be safely used on your ceramic cookware.Do Not stack your pan & pots inside one another without putting something between them or they will get scratched.Do Not use high heat with this cookwear because the heat is evenly distributed through out the pan or pot & you only need to be using med to med-high heat.I for the most part use medium heat.Do not deep fry anything in these pans or pots because you will ruin the coating. If you need to fry food use a different type of pan or pot.Now to my review. I got side tracked a little but felt that I had to write the do's & don'ts first.The cookwear was nicely packaged. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep this cookwear because my previous set were heavier, non stick Paula Dean Cookwear.The first thing that I used was the pot to cook red sauce in and was worried that the red sauce would stain the coating. To my surprise it did not stain it. Cleanup was so easy.I have cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast with very little oil and was very surprised of how nicely, evenly it cooked and browned.I cooked four eggs in one of the pans and wanted the yolks cooked all the way. I put a lid on the pan and when I took the lid off a few minutes later the yolks were cooked all the way through. The egg white wasn't even burnt on the edges.Cooking rice is great, easy cooks in no time.Cleaning this cookware is so easy and nice to do.I always wash my pan & pots with dish & warm water.Never use harsh abrasives, pads or sponges.I believe this cookware is wwll worth the money.If you take care of them properly, they will last. You for quite sometime.I hope this review was helpful.Happy cooking!!!Follow up 3 years 3 months later..I am still happy with the purchase of my cookware. They still cook and look really good!!

Love this set with reasonable price! This replace a set I had for 30+ years. Very happy with the set! Josephine Purcell

Very pretty, but I didn’t realize they are not dishwasher safe until after I unpacked them.

Very good quality.

Absolutely wonderful set for a brilliant price.

Our grandson is setting up his first apartment, and needed everything. Grandma an I took on the Kitchen and bought a starter set of items he needed to start out.This is a very nice set of cookware for the new kitchen. I especially like the ceramic non-stick coating. For him, the black exteriors fit his need for masculine appearance of the kitchen. Okay, whatever. I'm so glad that he likes them.

Don't waste your money on this cookware. The non-stick in the frying pans did not last long at all. We follow the directions to the letter. What a waste of money. Everything nowadays is garbage.
