Cuisinart Stainless Cookware Sets, easy for use every day

By Mel Harrington


I have had many problems in the past with my cookware. Residue would still stick to the bottom, even after washing, the metal would char and bend badly, and lids wouldn't fit after a few years. I never had those problems with my basic Cuisinart Stainless Cookware Set. I bought this set because I badly needed a new one. My previous set was dying out pretty fast; I was getting weird food cooking with the old set. But times are hard, and I was on a strict budget. I couldn't spend more than $150 for an entire new set. I knew this seemed like an impossible thing, but I found a set for only $110. I knew that was a steal.

I didn't know so much of this brand at the time, and I was basically looking for something to use every day. Since I was on a tight budget, I saw that this set had potential because it looked classy. When I brought it home and tried it out, it really surprised me. I used to think that because it was light weight, it wouldn't last so long. But, I have been using the same set everyday for all my meals, and it's been 5 years since I first bought them. They still are as durable as they were the first day I got them.

The Cuisinart stainless cookware set I bought is made out of 18% chromium and 10% nickel. This may sound a bit technical, but basically it means that overall, it is a good conductor of heat. This is the best combination you can make for stainless steel. I can definitely guarantee that. I don't have a problem at all with the heat for my cooking, I keep it low and it heats my food fast and evenly. The heat is so well distributed that I can cook pancakes on my pans with no problems at all! The investment for this set is so worth it.

After eating, it can be such a chore to clean the pots and pans you used for cooking your meal. I don't have that problem with my Cuisinart Stainless Cookware. What I do is, right after transferring my food into a serving dish, I immediately mix water and dishwashing liquid into the pots and pans that I've used and I let it simmer while our family eats. By the time we're gone, the residue in the cookware has already washed off as well. Then, I simply put the cookware, along with our used plates, in the dishwasher. Luckily, they are very dishwasher safe, so it doesn't cause a problem.

5 years can be a long time for a cookware set. However, this is not true if you find a good enough set. The Cuisinart set I had purchased has proven to be consistent, even over time. The quality has never changed, the heat still distributes evenly, when I get it out of the dishwasher, it almost looks as good as new! The handles are still intact, unlike with the kinds that are of less quality. I'm ready to test these babies out for the next 15 to 20 years to see if this is true!
