5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!!, December 8, 2007

This review is from: Cuisinart 66-14 Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)

I am an avid home chef & treasure high-quality cookware. These are great! They are thinner (but harder) than many brands, which I truly love. Lower heat settings can be used for comparable results in other cookware, which saves energy, money, & severity of burns if the user is accident prone.

Some things to know:

1. These pans are designed to be hung on a rack. Hanging does save your cookware from a lot of those small injuries caused to them by stacking.

2. The Quantanium non-stick finish is like Teflon on steroids! I use about 1/4 the oil/butter I normally used in the older versions of Teflon. As mentioned above, a lower heat setting is also necessary. These are very easy to clean (except the stainless steel "buttons" where the handles are attached - everything sticks well there).

3. Although they say "Metal Utensil Safe", DON'T! Save the metal utensils for your cast iron & stoneware.

4. Non-stick cooking spray tends to eat finish on pans. Preserve them by washing well with soap & water as soon as they are cool. TIP: NEVER, EVER put a sizzling hot pan in water or dump cool water into it! This causes warping that basically ruins the pan. Move the pan to an unused burner & let it cool naturally before washing.

5. With the small steamer insert, never fill the pan over one inch above the bottom of the insert. With the stockpot insert, 2 inches. This can be pushed to nearly 3, but the mess from overfilling is big.

6. Enjoy & care for these pans! You won't ever have to buy replacements for them as long as you don't abuse them.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Purchase!!! I love them!!!, February 19, 2009

This review is from: Cuisinart 66-14 Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)

I purchased this 14pc set of cuisinart pots and pans, after many comparisons and shopping around. I was initially more interested in purchasing Circulon Elite, but I wasn't too happy with the sizes offered in the set. Anyway, I am extremely happy that I purchased this set instead and here's why...

The price is great! This is a high quality product! There are 14pc included and they are all in useable sizes, the only additional thing you many need is a 12"skillet, but I have been fine without one so far. The 4 quart saute pan is wonderful!!! And I absolutely love the steamer basket, that was a huge selling point for me because I steam veggies everyday! I am very impressed with everything about these pots and pans! The non-stick finish has been very durable so far, and extremely easy to clean. They cook evenly with no hot spots, etc. One important thing to note that makes this set different than most other hard anodized cookware, is that these are made with an aluminum core. So they have a hard anodized exterior and a non-stick interior, but the aluminum core makes them quite a bit lighter in weight to most other products. I consider this to be a positive thing, I don't need to break my wrist washing a pan. But if you use your pans as weapons, consider something else. =) The exterior finish is awesome, its a smooth hard anodized finish and very easy to maintain. Another review complained about the exterior, that "it looked cheap and no matter how she cleaned them they looked bad"... well, she's crazy!!! These look awesome!!! The clear lids are very helpful, although they do tend to get hot so using a rag when lifting is advisable. But handles on the pans seem to stay cool, no problem.

Anyway, if you are considering this cookware and are comparing it to more expensive brands, then save your money! You will not be disappointed with this purchase!

3.0 out of 5 stars Check everything carefully - Misshapen pot and chipping, April 21, 2010

This review is from: Cuisinart 66-14 Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized 14-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)

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.
