Cuisinart SmartNest Stainless Steel 11-Pc. Cookware Set

Stainless steel pots and pans are very new to me.. for once in my life i was able to afford a nice set of stainless steel. After using for about 3 months.. i have to say the learning curve is steep but once you get the hang of using and cleaning... i ly think ill ever go back to coated pans. Low heat or High. It warms quickly and retains so much heat its ridiculous.. a close 2nd to my cast iron. Clean up takes getting used to but at least you dont have to worry about scratching and its always a good stainless steel buffering away from shine. I would definitely buy again if anything happens and id recommend to anyone who wants a great char on food and effortless glide on eggs all on the same pan.

This is the worse cooking set I've ever had. The first specification says "HIGH PERFORMANCE STAINLESS Stainless steel cooking surface does not discolor, react with food,...." Food sticks often and easily in the pans. The pans stained/discolored after the first few uses. I even considered keeping the fire at a low level due to the fact that they're steel so it heats up quicker than non-stick coated pans, but same result. I regret getting rid of my non-stick Farberware, which I WILL be purchasing again.

Got these for Christmas and it was missing the large pot.

This set replaces an older one; the snug fitting glass lids are great. And I like the “nesting” feature for compact storage.

Love this set so much!!! It stacks for convenience and space saving which works well with my drawers in the Kitchen. Quality is superb. Love this brand.

This cook ware is easy to cook with and keep clean.

I checked several review websites in my search for new cookware to replace my non-stick and anodized aluminum cookware. This set was not only recommended but it also was quite affordable. The reviews weren’t wrong. They conduct heat very quickly and feel solid in hand. I also love the way they nest but don’t touch each other. You won’t regret getting this set!

We upgraded to this stainless steel set from a nonstick set. What a difference! I can rest assured that we don't have toxic chemicals seeping into our food. The cookware cleans up easily with a quick soak and handwashing or running through the dishwasher. I love the nesting feature and the lid holder. The sizes of the pans are perfect! I highly recommend this set!

I've had these knives about a month now and have been enjoying them so far. The built in sharpener is great and the quality is very nice. I like the angle of the knife block so it fits nicely under any cabinet. My only gripe is there is an empty knife slot. The intention is for us to buy another knife to put in it separate from the kit. I wish there was an option to add on the additional knife with the full block purchase or pick a block with fewer slots so it doesn't feel like something is missing. The additional bread knife they suggest is also out of stock and apparently has been for awhile. Just feels like a trick and I would have considered a different block had I known.

This is a good set of pots and pans. They heat evenly, even on an old coil electric stovetop, and clean up nicely. And the stacking feature is great--that's what compelled me to buy them. Also love the little lid rack, very handy! HOWEVER, you don't get lids for all the pieces--the two smaller pans have no matching lid and the lids that go with the pots don't fit them, like an old set I had did. That's unfortunate and I didn't realize it. I'm curious if those are available to purchase additionally? I'd be interested in that.
