Cuisinart Classic Pots & Pans Set, 10 pcs Cookware Set with Saucepans, Saute pans, & Skillets- Tapered Rims for Drip Free Pouring & Cool Grip Handles, Stainless Steel, TPS-10

The media could not be loaded. Update: 8/14/22. These cook really well. I was a little skeptical of the complaints about food sticking. Don’t believe them. It is all about technique and the user’s knowledge about cooking with stainless. The quality of the cookware is also important. The video shows that stainless is nonstick cookware.Just unpacked the cookware. I had an older set of Cuisinart cookware for many years that were not induction compatible but were excellent and performed well for many years. They would not work with our new cooktop. This set is far above my old set in quality, weight and I have no doubt performance. They are extremely well built, beautiful in their appearance and quality. I am looking forward to the first use after our new cooktop is installed and will follow up with a review.For all the negative reviews about food sticking. I have never had that problem with quality stainless steel cookware. That said, you need to know how to cook with stainless steel. Do a search for “how to cook with stainless steel.” Once you know how to control the heat and cooking process you will love cooking with stainless - they are the original non-stick cookware and will never wear out. I sold my old non-induction stainless set in a few hours for a good price. People who know the difference love quality stainless steel.

I purchased this ten piece set of stainless steel pots and pans for my husband, a retired classically trained chef, to have in our smaller second home. This set comes with glass lids which allows you to see what is cooking without lifting the lid. The pots have measurements inside with cups and liters. The pots and pans are not lightweight, have a good medium weight feel to them. We used the sauté pan to make a rack of lamb and the larger pot to make rice yesterday for Christmas dinner and they performed as expected. This makes a good starter set for a couple for a wedding gift. I vacillated between the 10 and 17 piece set but decided that the we really did not have room for the additional pieces so I went with the 10 piece. I will be adding the 12 inch skillet to the set because the skillets are a little small for bigger dinners. At this price point this is a real bargain compared to the similar All Clad, which runs for north of 1k in a price point. Overall a solid set for the money! Note - even though I am a Vine Voice, this set was a purchase and not part of that program.

I absolutely love this set. Yes, you do have to treat it differently than nonstick as other reviews have mentioned: turn pan on med-high, wait a few minutes and drop a little water in it. If it beads immediately it’s ready to cook. Add oil or butter and then what you’re cooking. Follow that and it’s pretty much non stick! Sometimes I can use just hot water to wash these pans if I make sure to use them when ready, and yes even with eggs.Also, The taste difference between this and any other pan (cast iron, aluminum and non stick) is remarkable. I didn’t even notice I was tasting my other pans until I used these and realized I was now just tasting food! It’s much cleaner. I do need a larger 12” skillet and a griddle, wish there was a set with those 2 items added. Otherwise, I am happy.

Heat distribution is good and even... but cleaning is a bit tuff... need to concentrate more on maintenance because of its beautiful look... they are my 1st cookware set in triply ss... happy to cook with it... just start using the fry pans by heating in medium flame for a couple of mins... no more seasoning required except make sure the oil sticks all over the pan before adding ingredients... yes they are designed for drip free... no discoloration yet... it's quite a heavy set... special thing is the saucepans are marked with quantity... if you love cooking just go for it... very neat and sturdy set...

I love these heavy duty pans! I was looking for stainless steel. Taking a break from the non stick. I’m not the only one who uses them and they always get scratched up. I did read all the reviews before my purchase. Did a lot of comparing of prices and brands. I follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Even kept the advice on cleaning for different things. I do warm them before adding food. They cook extremely well on lower temperatures and haven’t needed to use a high setting. I do hand wash as my preference to prolong their life. Handles do stay cool and so do the lid handles, to my surprise. I have actually baked them in the oven but of course handles are hot then. Also I use either butter or olive oil to lube before cooking as they are NOT nonstick. Extremely happy with them!

I never grew up with a good set of pans. We were poor and had a lot of mismatch sets. Never any stainless steel sets! So one of my favorite home chefs had this on her page. I did a lot of research and read about the cons of getting stainless steel. So many reviews were negative. Well I’ve had mine for about 3 months and I’ll never go back to cheap pans!!! These are a super nice mid tier set. I have zero experience with steel and this was super easy. I haven’t had any issues, no sticking of food whatsoever! I even made chicken tenders in it and the seasons stuck to the pan. It was so easy to clean up. I can’t believe anybody said they had terrible issues with the pan. Nothing sticks so far and I cook a big meal every Sunday, multiple meals throughout the week and had no prior experience. Get these pans and watch a YouTube video! Glad I finally upgraded and didn’t let my inexperience keep me from some amazing hardware!!!
