In-Depth Review
This stainless steel 7-piece cookware set from Cuisinart is absolutely our favorite. And exceptional value for the money!
Perfect for small family cooking and also makes a very appreciated gift for the new bride (or for Christmas, birthday’s etc).
We pick this as our all-around favorite set…and the reviews on Amazon absolutely agree with us – not a single negative thing is said about this set other than pertaining to the size of the pots and pans (these are smaller sized – if you want larger-sized stainless steel cookware of the same exceptional quality, get this set).
One thing we really love about this set is that the pots and pans are so well-constructed that there aren’t any ‘hot spots’ when you’re cooking. That makes our life so much easier when we do not have to worry about over-cooking – or things getting burnt.

When you first get your set and open the box, you’ll only need to pull out each piece out of the box and hold it in your hand to feel the quality and to know this stainless steel cookware is going to last you a very long time.
As for food sticking…. I haven’t had any issues with this myself, but some others have reported some issues with food sticking now and then. When in doubt, put a touch of oil in the pan when cooking things that are prone to stick on any cookware.
If, by chance, some food DOES get stuck, just put a little warm vinegar on the bottom and it will come right off.
Any reviews you read here that claim that these stainless steel pots and pans cause their food to stick are usually written by those that are new to cooking with stainless steel (ie, used to cheap non-stick cookware).
Cooking with stainless steel takes a little getting used to, but once you get used to it, you won’t go back to cooking with anything else.
Speaking of the ‘non-stick’ topic… If you’re concerned about all the nasty chemicals that are used to make traditional non-stick cookware, you can rest easy when you cook with stainless steel that you are not subjecting your family to those chemicals.
All in all, this set is near professional-grade cookware that is beautiful. These pots and pans look amazing hung from a rack in your kitchen for all to see.
