I was looking for a cookware set that was safe and didn't have chemicals from teflon. I feel I got a great deal for what I paid. I have to say that I usually have to clean the saute pans by hand with a "green" SOS pad. My dishwasher isn't the problem, as it is new and well rated. So, if your planning on purchasing this set plan on cleaning some of the pans by hand. When you clean them they clean up easily. I have no regrets for purchasing this item.

I LOVE this set! The quickness and the evenness of heating is remarkable. They may not be non-stick, but having worked with metal for over a quarter century I was able to wet-sand the inside of the saute/fry pans to 2500 grit, and, with a little oil, they are just wonderful. I highly recommend this set for anyone, like myself, who truly enjoys preparing food.

I researched for a cookware set a lot. I wanted to get the most for my money since I was on a budget. I came across this set after reading a lot of reviews that for the most part were very helpful. I decided to buy this set based upon what I have read about them. I have had this set for a month now.If you are looking to buy an expensive set don't even bother. This set is great. I cook every night with this set and haven't found anything to complain about. They cook very evenly, durable, clean up is very easy and they look great. I have had no problems with this set at all and if you are familiar with cooking with stainless steel I believe you will enjoy this set as much as I do and for the money you can't go wrong. Amazon was good as always.

We have had a RevereWare set for about 10 years and it was falling apart. I searched and found the Cuisinart 14 piece Chef's Choice set fit our needs. My wife wanted an all stainless set, but was hesitant with all the talk about difficult clean-up and burning of food. That couldn't be further from the truth with this set. We have used it every day for about a month now and have not come across any issues with clean-up or buring of food. I use a gas range and have no problem with heat control or having to use "half" the heat setting like other reviews suggest. We do plan ahead when moving from a boil to a simmer, as it takes time for the pan to cool down. Every pot I have ever used gets water spots from boiling with hard water and this is not a sore spot with me. The ONLY concern I have is that the set is made in CHINA and was not aware of this at the time of purchase. I am requesting that Cuisinart send me a written warranty that covers MATERIALS and NOT just workmanship. It has been quite evident from recent news items that CHINA has had an established history using/manufacturing with toxic chemicals (melamine in baby formula and lead paint in childrens toys for example). I hope that Cuisinart is assuring that the stainless being used is actually stainless and not a toxic brew with other heavy metals. I would reccomend this set to those who would like a good stainless set at a good price.

Actually, I bought this set for my son. He has become interested in cooking lately especially after drooling over the food network shows. (who doesn't?) He loves his new cookware, it is cuisinart quality and should provide many years of enjoyment. A big plus is that the set has a steamer insert, a must as far as I'm concerned. It is a very nice set.Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless-Steel 14-Piece Cookware Set
