I bought these about a month ago, after long months of research (it's hard to find a good set at this price!). I am very happy with them. First of all, they look gorgeous, which is an unexpected treat. Secondly, they cook beautifully as long as you never, never use them on any heat higher than medium high. I can actually sauté most things on medium with these pans. I do have to use enough cooking oil, and keep stirring--but this set is are not non-stick, and any stainless steel would be the same. If anything sticks or burns on, I use some powdered Bon Ami, recommended by the man where we bought the set.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE them! They are heat sensitive but as long as you read the pamphlet that comes with it you'll know what settings to use to make sure your food doesn't get scorched, but that's how it is with any stainless steel pans. I would definitely recommend!

I got this set for Christmas, so I've had some time to use the cookware. For a stainless steel set at this price, it looks and feels like a more expensive set. They are visually appealing with nice elegant curves and a nice polished finish yet very sturdy and well built. They have a very solid feel in the hand and I will expect them to last for many years. I've always liked the quality of Cuisinart products and this set is no different. The aluminum base that is sandwiched in between the steel at the base makes for very even heat distribution. Cleanup with these are easy, I use Bon Ami to get off stubborn burned on food. I would not put these in the dishwasher, they can get small scratches and ruin the nice finish of the outside of the cookware. Overall you can't go wrong with a cookware set of this quality at this price.

I just bought this set a week ago. After using 2 of the pans for the first time, food scorched on medium -low heat. This left food stuck to the bottom of the pans. It was next to impossible to get the pans clean! I soaked them in hot water, scraped with a silicone scraper, and ran them through the dishwasher. What was left was horrible black ash-looking coating inside the pan. IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN!
