Review: BEST PANS EVER - We upgraded our old tephlon pans and couldn't be happier. Cuisinart is a brand you can trust and perform beautifully. They are heavy bottom pans that conduct heat well, wash well and don't scratch. Very high quality, Buy them!!
Review: You'll become Gordon Ramsay - As someone who loves to cook and has been on the hunt for the perfect cookware set, I am absolutely thrilled with the Cuisinart Cookware Set. This set has completely transformed my kitchen experience, and I can confidently say it's a fantastic choice for both beginners and experienced chefs alike. Unmatched Quality and Durability The first thing that stands out about this cookware set is its exceptional build quality. Made with 18/10 stainless steel, these pots and pans feel incredibly solid and well-made. They offer both strength and durability, and I've already noticed a significant improvement in how they conduct heat evenly. The triple-ply construction (with an aluminum core) ensures that heat is distributed quickly and uniformly, which makes cooking faster and more efficient. There’s no hot spot or uneven cooking, whether I’m simmering sauces or searing meats. Comprehensive 17-Piece Set This set comes with everything you need to tackle any cooking task. The 17 pieces include a wide variety of saucepans, skillets, sauté pans, stockpots, and a steamer insert, which means I’m equipped for almost anything, from making delicate sauces to preparing hearty stews. Each piece in the set is highly functional, and the fact that it comes with multiple lid sizes adds a level of convenience that makes cooking even easier. I love that the lids are clear, which allows me to monitor my cooking without having to remove the lid and lose heat. Easy-to-Handle and Versatile One of the standout features of this cookware set is the ergonomic, riveted handles. They are designed to stay cool on the stovetop, which means I never have to worry about burning my hands when I’m stirring or moving a pan. The handles also feel secure and sturdy, providing a confident grip, even when I’m transferring a heavy pot or pan from stovetop to oven. Additionally, the cookware is oven-safe up to 500°F, which is perfect for dishes that require transitioning from stovetop to oven. This versatility makes it easy to cook a wide range of meals without needing separate cookware. I’ve baked chicken, roasted vegetables, and made frittatas all in the same pans with no issues whatsoever. The non-reactive interior ensures that food won’t interact with the material, so I don’t have to worry about acidic foods like tomatoes affecting the flavor. Whether I’m making a tangy marinara sauce or a rich, creamy risotto, the flavors stay pure and unaffected. Effortless Cleaning Cleaning this cookware set is a breeze. The stainless steel surface resists food sticking, and most messes simply wipe off with a gentle scrub. The pans are also dishwasher-safe, though I usually hand wash them to maintain their appearance. I’ve found that they clean up quickly and easily, which makes post-cooking cleanup less of a chore. If you’re in the market for high-quality cookware that will last for years, handle a wide variety of cooking tasks, and look great on your stovetop, I cannot recommend this set highly enough. It’s truly a fantastic investment for anyone who values great cooking tools!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this set 18/10?**
A: SKH .. PART 2 OF 2  ..  Cuisinart 77-17N - is set 18/10?
This is an enlightening article.   Copyright © 2013-2016 CenturyLife.Org  ...   Link:  https://www.centurylife.org/in-depth-product-review-cuisinart-multiclad-pro-aka-mcp-or-multiclad-professional-tri-ply-professional-stainless-steel-12-inch-skillet-30-cm-frying-pan/
-----------------
Sometime around 2010 Cuisinart stopped advertising Multiclad  Pro (MCP) as SAE 304 (18/8 or 18/10 stainless steel; the 18 refers to 18% chromium, and the 8-10% refers to 8-10% nickel). Amazon still hasn’t updated their product description; it still says 18/10 there.   I contacted Cuisinart for clarification, but they wouldn’t tell me exactly what stainless grade they use now.
Note 1:   As an aside, many companies that advertise 18/10 stainless use something more like 18/8.3 stainless and round way up to 18/10.
Note 2:   18/8 or 18/10 stainless is strong and rust-resistant, which is why high-end cookware usually uses it
Note 3:   we can be fairly confident that Cuisinart is using at least SAE 202/204 (18/4) stainless in Multiclad Pro, since MCP is Cuisinart’s highest-end product line, and the interior of MCP is not strongly magnetic
Note 4:   almost all stainless steel cookware made today (including All-Clad  -and-  Cuisinart Multiclad Pro) is made with a bottom-most layer of SAE 400-series (18/0) stainless in order to be induction-compatible. That’s because the addition of small amounts of nickel in stainless makes the steel less magnetic, so you can’t use 18/4, or 18/8, or 18/10 stainless on the bottom and still be induction-compatible
Note 5:   18/0 is still fairly rust-resistant–it survives dishwashers without rusting–but try to avoid letting your stainless pots sit in puddles of water for days on end.
Note 6:   note that the rivets on Cuisinart MCP have stainless interior caps, but the exterior is aluminum, so if you clean the rivets a lot (especially if you run MCP through the dishwasher a lot), the outside part of the rivets will look less shiny. The dullness is purely cosmetic.

**Q: Can they really be used on an induction stovetop? I had a set that looked similar a few years ago, Cuisinart said it would work on induction, but -no**
A: Yes, they work on induction stoves.

**Q: Is it Triply?**
A: The Cuisinart Chef's Classic line is not triply. It has an aluminum core in the base, but the sides are just stainless steel.

**Q: how does it fare for cooking bacon in it?**
A: It works beautifully! Even cooking surface and cleans up easily.
Highly recommend it!!

THESE TAKE SPECIAL CLEANING. I have no problem with food sticking, they look and feel awesome, nice and heavy gauge metal. What looks like water stains are left after cleaning. They do not scrub out unless you use Bar Keepers cleanser when cleaning or vinegar after cleaning. gave it a 5 hoping others will see input to make a decision that works for them.
