Cuisinart 17-Piece Cookware Set, Chef's Classic Steel Collection 77-17N

Okay, so I ended up through the past couple years going through three yrs that’s 3 other sets of pots and pans (believe it or not) before I ended up with this beautiful Cuisinart stainless steel set and I have not had to look elsewhere since. Do I really need to elaborate? Okay just a few things, I can leave my pan in the sink if I want to because I have limitations towards mid day to night time which prevents me from standing for long periods of time. So if I don’t feel well enough to wash a few dishes, they don’t have to be. These pans allow that! My previous ceramic pot and pans were relentless and would not. I absolutely do not have to wait 90 seconds to let my pans heat up before use, (one of my ceramic sets required me to do this previously) My range runs very hot so that was very annoying and I didn’t feel quite safe doing so. So it took forever to get my pans to heat up on medium low heat. Not these stainless steel pans, not only do I feel so much better cooking with them, they are just as effective as anything else I’ve used (if you know how to properly cook in them). Non stick isn’t an issue for me personally but the trick is to get the pan hot enough, add a bit of butter or oil for base cooking to help with the “non stick”,(regardless you should be using x-vir. Olive oil anyway when you cook in stainless steel) and the ITEM YOU ARE COOKING, DONE ENOUGH (or to desired liking) BEFORE FLIPPING TO OTHER SIDE. That is imperative. If you try to flip the food before it’s had the opportunity to cook somewhat of a level of doneness, then that is on you, the food will be destroyed. This is a very large set of pots and pans, there’s every pan you need, even a large stock pot, I mean what more could you ask for in a set? It literally comes with everything, and I’m very satisfied with the very generous price I was able to get them at thanks to Amazon. I love them. And, you won’t be disappointed either:)

These sturdy pots and pans feel like they will last a lifetime. Had them for over 6 months and they perform like they are new. Great heat retention, a good weight, and the aluminum core allows them to heat up faster. A nice touch is that on the inside of the pots and some of the pans is a measure to see how many fl oz/ cups/ liters of liquid are in them. Very hand for soups, sauces, or cooking pasta and noodles!.

I got this on sale, and so glad I bought it! The pans are sturdy, thicker than most, no rusting, great finish, and are wonderful to cook in. I use all of them (not at once) in a household of 2, and they've elevated my cooking experience tremendously. Easy to clean; I use Sponge Mama for most things. Anything stubborn, a little steel wool takes it right off. It also helps to soak the pans after they cool down. I will not use coated pans, so these are perfect for me. The sizes and varieties of the pans are perfect for my, and I'm sure many others, cooking experiences. These are so well made, they'll outlast me! Totally recommend

I bought this set after comparing with many others not knowing if there were lids that would fit the frying pans, thinking I might have to buy some additional lids to cover them. I was pleasantly surprised that there were lids that fit included, with the exception of the smallest frying pan. They stack up beautifully to save cupboard space and the pan’s interiors are smooth. There are rivets on the inside but I don’t anticipate any issues with them. Since I bought them on black Friday it was an exceptional value! I only gave it four stars because I haven’t cooked with them yet, but I expect them to work well. Can’t wait to use them.High-quality and they look great.

Pretty good dishes. Like all stainless the get spots and discolor... But thick bottoms and good craftsmenship. Overall a good product.

I love my pots! The various sizes are great. If you heat your pots before putting food in them, the food doesn’t stick. They do heat up fast. They are easy to clean but the inside bottoms do get discolored at times. I use Bar Keepers Friend. I add a little BKF with a little water after I cleaned the pot. Just rub it around with a cloth and It shines them up like new. I have had them for months and they still look brand new. They are not the heaviest pots but do a good job. I have never made a dark roux in these pots because I have a heavy pot I have used for years to make my roux in. I think these set of stainless steel pots were reasonably priced.
