Love it, love it, love it. After much research, I picked this set of cookware, and I do love it. Some of the other reviewers were right about a few things...my handles can get hot if I'm not careful and the pans are more difficult to clean to keep that bright shine. But it's still fabulous stuff. I wish I had more cupboard space because they are getting scratches from being stacked so tight in my cupboard. But that's life. Love the pans though. I'll have them forever.

LOVE IT - first ever stainless steel cookware and so far it has been great. Easy to clean, use Bon Ami if I have too, but soak it after every use. Highly recommend it:)

I purchased the 12 piece set after months of reading reviews. I really wanted All Clad but who can afford it, I wanted a once and forever set of cookware to last me my remaining days, I am a 64 year old wannabe cook. I love the set, everything that I have cooked has turned out great and have ordered additional pieces. Clean up is super and whatever doesn't come clean, Barkeepers Friend takes care of. One problem has come up. I have only used my 8 quart stock 4 times. Light colored spots have appeared on the bottom of the inside, I have tried to clean them with Barkeepers but that doesn't do anything. Is it possible that the stainless steel layer is coming off and I am seeing the aluminum core. If so is this going to cause problems with acid foods like tomato sauces?

First, let me say Amazon is nothing short of amazing in shipping this item. I ordered it in the morning June 3, and received it in perhaps less than 24 hours later on June 4. That's as close to instant gratification as you can get. Thanks Amazon.
I do like the pots and the basic good clad quality. They heat evenly but I've noticed I have to crank up the heat on the sauce pan to get water to boil. I was expecting thing to heat up quicker, but I haven't noticed much of a difference from the 18/10 I've been using. I'm not giving it 5 stars because as another reviewer noted, I'm getting white spots in the bottom of one of the sauce pans after the very first use. (Tried BarKeepers Friend to no avail.) It also appears that another spot is starting to form after the second use, it looks like it spreads with every use. They're just permanent white stains--weird. I've been cooking potatoes and rice in the pan. Not sure what this is but when you start buying high-end cookware, you expect a certain level of quality. I'm buying these instead of getting the 14-piece All-Clad set I've always wanted because of all the favorable feedback and the price. But I'm now reconsidering that decision. Especially after hearing what one reviewer said about her ordeal with Cuisinart, in which she had white spots forming on one of her pots and said after 3 months of Cuisinart having her pot, it had not even been opened and then once opened it was returned to her and not replaced. They told her she would have to replace the pot. I do not want to go through such an ordeal and having a missing sauce pan as well. I plan on contacting them and asking them what they will do about it and if the matter will be handled swiftly. I'll come back to update you on what happens. White spots seem to me to be a problem with workmanship and/or defective materials. And obviously it's something that is being duplicated in the manufacturing of the pots. They should replace it. I only used them to cook in and I haven't got a clue to why this would happen except that it's a defect.
If we are buying high-end cookware, we are perfectionists and spotty pots are unacceptable and Cuisinart should honor their warranty. We will see.
**UPDATE**
I called Cuisinart and was told to return the sauce pan to them and they will have it evaluated and "IF" there is a defect they will send a replacement. They said it would take 4-6 weeks. They also informed me of the "Limited Lifetime Warranty." They even suggested that I send the set back to Amazon--at my expense of course. You won't get the feeling it's important to them to try to accommodate you or make you happy. Hmmm. I purchased a KitchenAid Blender from Amazon 3 years ago and didn't really use it much. I realized (and this was just last week--it was purchased in 2007) it was not working properly and immediately thought, oh shoot, guess I'll have to start looking for another one even though I never really used it much at all. I called KitchenAid and told them it wasn't working, gave them the serial number and they shipped me a brand new one that day, which arrived the same day as my Cuisinart set. Cuisinart could learn a thing or two from KitchenAid for branding customer loyalty. Boy was I pleased and surprised. It works great. Now that leaves an impression.
I've decided, it's not worth the hassle and the price of shipping (both ways Cuisinart told me), or the wait and being without my pot. Come on, they should be much, much more accommodating to their customers and get me out a replacement right away. Well, now, I'm not going to buy all the additional pieces from Cuisinart. I'm still in love with All-Clad and will purchase additional pieces from them. Might as well go with the product I fell in love with since I ain't getting no love from Cuisinart. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder but I'll just keep my spotty potty by Cuisinart anyway.

Upgraded from a cuisinart non-stick set to this set and after one month we are still liking it. Good shipping times from the seller.
