I rarely ever write reviews, but after a long search for a good Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Cookware Set set, feel compelled to comment. After much research I first purchased the Calphalon Tri Ply Stainless set and used them for almost a year. I was kind of stuck on having glass lids, but later I found that the glass lids really didn’t matter as much as I thought. They were easily dented along the thin stainless rim (which is sharp if you have little ones aspiring to cook). Everything stuck to these pans. I also had a major problem with condensation building in the lids and seeping out through the “seal” between lid and pan. This created stains on the outside of the pans requiring additional scrubbing, as well as a huge mess on my cooktop almost every time I cooked (4 or more days a week). Luckily, Bed Bath and Beyond has an excellent return policy, and I returned the other and purchased this Cuisinart set from them (cheaper than Amazon with 20 off coupon). What an amazing difference! Heavy duty. Great value. Look beautiful. Handles are comfortable. Not too heavy. Lids fit well (no condensation dripping over the sides of the pans), mirror stainless interiors of the pans are so nice and almost like non stick. I made eggs with a drop of oil, and they slid right out of the pan. The other set required serious scrubbing with Bar Keeper’s Friend every time . . . a real pain. The only thing I miss is a 4qt. saucepan, but could add that anytime. I’ve also made the switch to all plastic and wood utensils as to not scratch the interior, but you could use metal if you do not mind scratches. Nothing bad to say about these pans, and I saved almost $100 in returning the other more expensive set. Hope this helps anyone with their search for the perfect set of cookware. Read more… …
