Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set Review
Bought this set as a wedding present to myself! It came with high recommendations from my MIL, and I greatly trust her judgement. Everything so far has been good--arrived very well packed, and I chose the 14 piece set because I wanted to be sure to have a lid for everything, which I do. I thought the pasta steamer and the vegetable steamer were just an extra perk, but last night I used the pasta steamer for the first time and it leaked water all over my stove. As the water boiled, it spilled out of the gap between the steamer and where it fits into the big pot. At the end of the night I had to take off all the burners and clean underneath because I had standing water there--dangerous for an electric stove. I'm not sure yet how to fix this.
But, even though they are not dishwasher safe they are VERY easy to clean! The nonstick finish ROCKS, makes cleanup an absolute breeze and greatly cuts down on use of oil and butter. Only downside is that the handles get very hot.
Overall, a good product and I like it.

Quality is an issue - B. Marsh -
Ordered this set based on earlier reviews. For a set of cookware that lists for over 0, cuisinart should be ashamed. Right out of the package there were issues - the lid on one of the pots did not fit because the rim was not round enough, and fit very loosely on another, despite the claim of snugly fitting lids. The lid for the steaming insert is useless, since the pot that the insert goes into already has a lid! Some peole might like light pans, but these have a junky feel. I'll use them for a while, but this set is probabaly going back...
REALLY PLEASED SO FAR - D. Wehmeier -
Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set
My husband and I are "shoppers". We really do our homework before purchasing anything. We had Analon cookware before. It lastest for years. We wanted to try something new and after researching many (if not all) cookware in this price range, we chose Cuisinart. We bought the 10 piece set and purchased the 12" covered killet as well. I Love It!! It cooks great (bettter than Analon) on our glass top stove. It looks really nice. Clean up is a breeze. I cook a lot and I am very pleased with this set. We "price shopped" as well. This is an incredible set of cookware for the money! I am hard on my cookware. I just stack it in the cabinet. It is handling my "abuse" quite well! I highly recommend this product. I also want to say "kudos" to Amazon. I shop a lot through them and have had to return a few items. They are so acccomodating!! Thanks for the great customer service!
DO NOT BUY!! - Claudia Stafford - Banner Elk, NC
After 3 uses, following ALL instructions Food STICKS. Eggs, meat, vegetables and don't even get me started on pancakes. Stay away from this cookware set
Check everything carefully - Misshapen pot and chipping - P. Harmon - Portland
The heft and look of these pots and pans are great. We were happy to replace out cheap, flaky, old mishmash of pots and pans. But we noticed the 3qt pot was misshapen, so much so that the lid wouldn't fit. I called Cuisinart and they said if I send it in, they would look at it and try to replace it in 4-6 WEEKS. When I called Amazon, they said they would simply send another set and have me swap out and return the problem piece(s). When I got the new set from Amazon today, less than 48-HOURS later, the 3qt pot is only slightly wonky. The lid will fit, but it will I can see through the space between the lid and the pot lip. While I am sitting here pondering whether I should send everything back and move on to another brand, I see that the first set we got has noticeable small chipping on the pot lip. It was used ONCE and was hung ONCE with the other pots and pans and already has chipping. I think I am done with Cuisinart. Kudos for Amazon customer support.
