Q: Can you cook on induction stove?????

A: Yes, you can definitely cook on an induction stove and they work great. I bought this set to go with my new induction stove and I can boil a pot of water in under 2 minutes! I highly recommend this set of pots and pans. Enjoy!

Q: Is this 100% stainless steel or is there any other aluminum or other metals in it. Also what are cleaning instructions/products?

A: Strictly speaking, steel is an a alloy and contains multiple types of metal. Stainless steel itself is iron, carbon, chromium, and sometimes a bit of nickel. That's not the pan, that's metallurgy. If you're asking about the construction of the pots/pans, read on: The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro line is is what is known as Triple Ply or Tri-Clad Stainless. This is the "good" type of stainless steel cookware. This type of cookware is Stainless Steel on the inner and outer surface, with an internal layer of Aluminum which is not exposed to your food. That Stainless inner surface helps the internal create a smooth, durable, non-toxic cook surface, the internal Aluminum helps to hold heat in and distribute it evenly through the entire body to create predictable, even heating even on the sides of the pot/pan; the outer surface is 18/10 type Stainless which is a reliable, durable, shell and is induction-ready. These typically survive 400-550 degree ovens, and some of the premium options are broiler proof (I don't think this set is) There are cheaper stainless pans that only have a disc of Aluminum in the base just bonded on with more stainless to keep it clean. If you see one you'll know right away -- they have a big ugly seam around the bottom of the pan, and the sides will be very thin. Those cheap pans are prone to getting dinged up over time, but more importantly they lack the ability to heat your food evenly, and you'll often end up with burnt food and discoloration on the walls of the pan. Burning these too hot for too long or putting them in an oven above 300-400 degrees may damage the integrity of these lesser pans or the bonded disc. Cuisinart's cheaper Chefs' Classic lineup, for example, is this lower-quality type of cookware. The cheap-cheapest junk pans are just a low-quality thin stainless plate with a handle, no internal layer, no heat management or reinforcement -- good for a camping trip but not much else. Look away for a second and you'll burn your dinner. You'll see these at the dollar store or the $3 pots at the grocery store. I have yet to receive my delivery yet, but this MultiClad Pro package has been in the top-three in terms of bang-for-buck and reliability, and I am looking forward to it. AllClad brand is the best in the world but their cheapest set starts at $600-$1000 -- those will last a lifetime if you can afford it, but if you're like me you can get the Cuisinart MultiClad set to fill the kitchen, and slowly replace them with AllClad. AS ALWAYS: READ YOUR INSTRUCTIONS and don't blame the pan if you ruin it.

Learn to use your tools, and these will be great.
Heads up before the review: The 7 piece is a waste of money, and the 10 piece is NOT THE SAME PRODUCT, it is an odd online bundle or holiday special that should not be compared to the actual MCP lineup. I'm not going to leave a long *review*; instead I'm going to start by telling you what people do wrong: A) They don't read the directions. B) They don't take time to adjust to a new tool. C) They don't treat the product correctly. My solutions: A) The instructions tell you how to prepare, clean, and maintain the product. They talk about safe temperatures, staining, cleaning, discoloration, scratches, and how to deal with them, and lengthen the life of your product. You'll have these pans for decades -- good multiply stainless cookware can last a lifetime. Don't use metal utensils if you are worried about scratches, probably ever; and definitely not if you buy non-stick instead, and DISCARD IT if non-stick flakes off. B) Use it for a few days or weeks, depending on your skill level -- if every pan you buy is junk, you're probably not as proficient in the kitchen as you think. Learn how hot your burners get, learn to cook with a thermometer, and what temperature your food needs to be to be safe to eat, and pleasant to eat. Food will stick, that's okay, it's called find and it's used for making sauces -- it also comes off super easy with a small amount of liquid added to a warm pan. It's okay to mess up, don't blame this pan. C) You have to preheat the pan on Medium or Medium High, when the pan is hot you may add some fat... Butter, or oil are best, but cooking spray is okay you're using stainless. You should not use spray on non-stick. You should not put fat in a cold pan, because it will burn before the pan is hot enough to cook food. Pros: + Very happy with my MultiClad Pro MCP12N set. Not sure I'll use the steamer often, but I love how versatile the set is. + Good to at least 500° in oven, much better than inferior disk-bottom pans and cheap non-stick which shouldn't be ovened at all. + Easy to clean with a brush and detergent, some vinegar takes care of the rainbow stains, a blue scrubby takes care of any really stuck food, and some Barkeeper's Friend on the scrubby takes care of the white mineral deposits. Cons: - Never like rivets inside the pan. Hard to scrape down sides, and stuff gets cooked into the rivets (easy enough to clean, but inconvenient). - Could pour better. Flared edges are a benefit, but dribbles if you ease off. - The lids are a bit odd -- they are a bit tough to rest cracked, and you need to keep a plate handy to set them down on since they don't have a lip, and will be too hot to flip over without burning yourself.

Love this set
I wanted to switch from Teflon but was nervous about everything sticking. I researched for a while on how to properly cook with stainless and the best sets out there. Alot of sets look like they have a plate attached to the bottom where these do not. It is enclosed in the bottom of the pan instead of looking like it's just attached. These are similar to the top of the line brand All Clad. And based on reviews I've read they are very comparable considering the price difference. Most reviewer's noted that water did boil faster with all clad and all clad cleaned a bit easier. This set ranked neck and neck so I took a chance and OMG nothing sticks if I keep the heat low and they r beautiful and well constructed. I anticipate having these for years. I almost went for the all clad on sale but glad I didn't. For the price difference I just can't see them being that much better when these are so great. I wish I would have switched sooner. Best Buy also has the best price on this set that I could find excluding another large internet retailer. I would order from a company u trust because some reviews from another retailer may be receiving fakes. If you take the 12 inch out of the box and set on medium heat and it immediately warps , u have a defect or a fake. This pan is so thick and heavy no way it would warp before food was even added and this was a common complaint. Really reconmend this set and best buy!!

Superb quality!
These pots and pans are exactly what I wanted. The quality is excellent! I feel much more confident cooking with them, that my food will be free of unwanted chemicals. They are a little heavy, so I have to be careful with my glass top stove. But, I appreciate the construction and believe the weight is part of the good quality. They came sooner than expected, so I was very happy.
