"...They also remove scorch marks on the bottom from the burners being too hot. Serious scrubbing with these made my brand new pans look new again...." Read more
"...cooking for awhile (not right away if you're using an oil), clean up is easy enough that it doesn't bother me enough to go back to non-stick...." Read more
"...However, it cannot be placed in the dishwasher, it discolors with a bluish green patina, and must be polished with Wright's copper cream or Bar..." Read more
"...Everything I've sauteed has been PERFECTION, no burning. Cleans up like a DREAM with a short soak in warm water and a little Dawn -- I can't believe..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the durability of the cookware set. Some mention that it looks really nice and appears strong, while others say that the pans are not quite as sturdy as the All Clad, it's made of lesser quality, and had arrived with a defective piece straight away. The handles and knob lids were coming apart, and there were many dings and scratches on the cookwear. The seasoning would flake off and the non-stick material peels off horribly and leaves flakes in your food.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I decided on stainless early (i.e. dishwasher safe, durable, cooktop-oven-table flexibility, no toxic coatings, etc.) and figured I would eventually pick up cast iron and non-stick pans for their more specific benefits. I also read that 18/10 stainless steel is the best. I am a ‘research first, then buy quality’ type and am willing to spend more for what I believe to be a more value-added product. The Cuisinart Chef’s Classic line was my baseline because it fit the above requirements and was a great price. Then I started researching in earnest.
I discovered that an aluminum and/or copper core that went up the entire side of the pot/pan would be an improvement over one with the conductive metal in the bottom only, which is how the Chef’s Classic line is made. I felt that this was worth the additional cost (and I was right).
My manufacturer search started with what many believe is the gold standard, All-Clad. It’s an excellent product but in the end I couldn’t justify spending the equivalent of a down payment on a car on a set of cookware. Calphalon was next and, although less expensive, they are still a lot of money. The Cuisinart multi-clad cookware line kept coming up as an alternative so I dove into researching the positives and negatives. I couldn’t find any other than that they are made in China so I dove in.
In short this cookware is amazing and has me cooking things I never thought I would try otherwise. As with anything, there is a (very) small learning curve using this cookware. I have a gas cooktop and here is what I learned. You will find all of these ‘lessons learned’ in other reviews and although they may be academic to many, I had to learn them for myself.
1. You will not have to use anything hotter than medium-low to medium unless you are boiling water. For that, medium-high is plenty hot. The pans are tremendous at heating evenly and retain heat in the entire pot/pan; cooking the food on all sides.
2. When you boil water, don’t put salt the cold water. Wait until it boils. Salt will make pits in the surface (this set of pots escaped this mistake, but my old stainless steel pot from Ik*a suffered my ignorance)
3. Use a pan that’s sized for the food you are cooking. It helps control how much oil you use, makes it easier to manipulate the food in the pan and it will cook the food faster. Bigger isn’t better.
4. Warm the pan on your cooktop without anything in it for a few minutes then flick some water droplets in it. If they skate across the surface like mercury it’s ready for the oil/butter.
5. Use just enough oil to coat the bottom and the sides an inch or so, so you can use them while you are cooking.
6. The oil is ready for food when it starts to ‘ripple’. If it starts to ripple really fast and/or starts to smoke, turn down the heat. Less is definitely more here. At this point you have basically created a non-stick surface on the skillet’s almost semi-polished finish. Pork chops, fried eggs, etc. slide around without scalding and make cleanup a breeze. I would rather add an extra 120 calories to a dish that serves four using a tablespoon of olive oil than have flakes of Teflon in my food. 40 calories is not a savings in my book, and I have to watch what I eat. I also have no desire to treat cookware with kid gloves. I did that for 17 years with the Calphalon I replaced.
7. These pans do not need to be ‘seasoned’ by baking them in the oven or on the cooktop with a high heat oil. Please, please, please know this is not necessary. I did it and found my brand new, sparkling pans covered in what only can be described as a coat of inpenetrable motor oil. Up the sides, on the handles, everywhere. I thought they were ruined. Which leads me to my research on cleanup.
8. 95% of the time dishwashing liquid and water when the pan is still a bit warm will clean it right up. Sometimes just a little warm water does the trick and the small bit of oil left on the pan makes it a little more non-stick for the next time. Cameo stainless steel cleaner and Bar Keeper’s Friend are amazing for thick layers of tough burned on food. They also remove scorch marks on the bottom from the burners being too hot. Serious scrubbing with these made my brand new pans look new again. Amazingly, no surfaces were harmed during that workout.
9. Rainbow hues and water scales (we have scaly water in Chicago) disappear with some distilled vinegar. I hear club soda does the trick too, but I use that for cocktails.
Finally, I did supplement this set with the 5 ½ qt. casserole (MCP55-30N) as I needed a larger pan. I read a review here that the casserole and saute pans are the same except the saute pan has a handle as opposed to two grips. She was right and it does make it easier to use, cleanup and store. I also won’t bother buying non-stick and cast iron pans, since I’ve mastered using this cookware. This cookware has made me a much better cook and made the whole cooking process easier.
I contemplated copper cookware, but I couldn't afford the Mauviel copper sets made in France. I have always loved 18/10 stainless. 18/0 hasn't much weight to it. I didn't want hard anodized cookware, or porcelain ceramic. I didn't want something inexpensive. Lagostina seemed it might be a great second choice. I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond simply to look at the Lagostina. For $2K, Mauviel copper cookware has a base of 2.5 mm thick. For $399.00, Lagsotina's copper set is 2.3 mm thick. I also examined the Lagostina stainless steel for $199.00 on sale. The lids seemed to wobble on the cookware. An annoyance I couldn't live with. Copper is a fabulous conductor of heat and it's beautiful. However, it cannot be placed in the dishwasher, it discolors with a bluish green patina, and must be polished with Wright's copper cream or Bar Keepers Friend, or a fresh lemon and salt to restore original color. Too much upkeep for me for everyday use.
I felt stainless steel is the way to go. Non stick is only nice if you don't cook with E.V. olive oil, or any fats. Through researching, Martha Stewart said,; 'ALL CLAD; is the greatest cookware on the planet, and it's American made.' if that's important to you. I looked at All Clad at Bed Bath& Beyond. Oh, it was lovely! The heaviest cookware. I picked up some Cuisinart MCP and held it in my hand. I was seriously impressed. I researched the weight of each of the pieces, because that matters. If you want cheap, go to Walmart. I'm not trying to knock Walmart. Martha Stewart said, "Buy what you can afford." Amazon Prime had this priced normally at $670.00 suggested retail. This entire set of Cuisinart Multi Clad Pro, 12 piece stainless steel cookware for $205.00 without sales tax. I was SOLD. It arrived in early 2018, I was thrilled! USPS delivered it to my doorstep. I couldn't even pick up the box as it's very heavy. I scooted it across the foyer, through the living room, right into my kitchen and parked it in front of my stove. I'm in love. This stuff is AMAZING!! Here's another thing that sold me quickly. I believe this is oven proof to 500 or 550 degrees. It pours nicely directly from the pieces themselves. Brilliantly designed. Remember, after FOUR years, mine still looks like the day it arrived. Bar Keepers Friend powdered cleanser/polish is your best friend. (Wear gloves.)
For the weirdos who don't know how to cook, if it sticks, you're doing it wrong. I had my 10" MCP pan on medium to cook pancakes this morning, and even on medium, it was a tad too hot for pancakes. This MCP conducts heat beautifully. I'm not using metal scouring pads on this cookware. I want it to stay beautiful. I have a green nylon scouring pad, and a stiff dishwashing brush. I want my cookware to look beautiful always, and it's dishwasher safe. I am looking forward to using the steamer insert to steam fresh veggies! The stock pot in this set is eight quarts, very ample for a pot of chicken soup or clam chowder from scratch. I love the eight inch pan, it will be great for omelettes! I sautéed chicken last night, made rice, and broccoli. This cookware set is perfect!!!! Buy what you can afford.
(Hint fo the day: You do NOT need oil to warm up a tortilla. Place a circular piece of parchment paper in your pan. It works like charm.)
