Cuisinart 10-pc. Chef's Classic Nonstick Hard Anodized Cookware Set  Product Reviews

"I've had this cookware for 3 years. Loved it until this last year when the frying pans stopped doing their job. I always washed them by hand w/ nothing harsher than a scrubbee sponge made for non-stick surfaces. Always use medium to low heat and remove them from the burner as soon as I turn the burner off. I store them in my cabinet w/ foam sheeting to protect them from getting scratched! Use utensils for non-stick, etc. Haven't been able to make an omelette in them for almost a year now, even w/ lightly oiling the pan!. Everything sticks and I'm lucky if a one-egg omelette turns out to be 1/2 scrambled egg by the time it gets to the plate. I purchased these because of the Cuisinart reputation and Lifetime Warranty figuring if they're warrantying it for a lifetime, Cuisinart has to have faith in the quality of their product. I'm going to put it to the test this week and see what happens, if they back it up and I'll report back here. (BTW this is the first time I've ever felt called to write a product review.)"

"This is a great set at an even better price.You can see these at most Bed, Bath and Beyond stores for 400$."

"I researched lots of different pans before deciding to purchase this set and I have been very happy with them so far. They have a good weight and feel, they are well made and cook food superbly. Cleaning is also a breeze as the food comes off without having to scrub or soak. If you take good care of these then they will last a long time, but that does mean hand washing and not stacking the pots inside each other, a bit of a hastle, but worth it for such a good set."

"Heavy enough for good heat distribution but not so heavy that it's an effort to lift them from a burner. Nice handles. Non-stick wipes clean easily but durability is not known."
