Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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!!

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.

Had these for a couple of months now and couldn't be happier. They are heavy, but I expected that. Bottoms are perfectly flat and heat very evenly. Wish the lids were see through and it doesn't come with a pasta insert, only a veggie steamer. So far the stainless is holding up well and looks great.

Bought this set to use with my new induction range. I am so pleased with the quality of the cookware as they are well made. When I received the stove I hadn't received my cookware yet so I borrowed a couple pans to test it. They were induction ready pans but kind of light so some of the pans did not work with the induction. These are heavy duty and even the smallest sauce pan works on any burner.

I bought these after using Teflon for years. There is definitely a learning curve associated with stainless steel, but this set is as forgiving as Stainless Steel can be. It definitely takes a while to get warmed up, but once it's there, the heat is uniform. Clean up is also a lot easier than I was worried that it would be. Overall, very happy with the move to stainless steel.

Bought these to use with my new range so I didn't scratch the glass top. The quality is amazing and they are actually really easy to use/clean after reading all of the tips on what to do/not do. Highly recommend!

I am very pleased with this set of pots. I have only ever owned the less expensive, and usually non-stick variety of, cookware so it is such a pleasure to cook with this set. I love the even heating and how nicely the lids fit. I did have to get used to setting the temp a little lower when using these because they don't require as much heat. They do take longer to heat up but distribute the heat so evenly. I have two cons, food does tend to stick to the bottom even at lower temps. I like to cook eggs over easy and I have had a hard time getting those to cook without sticking regardless of whether I use butter, margarine, or spray oil. The sticking of food then requires more effort when cleaning. The other con is cleaning in general. They definitely require more effort to get the inside bottom clean. I did purchase a recommended cleaner, Barkeepers Friend, but have yet to try it. Overall I find this set to be very well made and a great value for money especially when compared to other comparable quality brands.

I am actually mad it took me this long to buy these. I feel like this may be the last purchase of pots and pans ill ever have to make.

We used Best Buy's price matching guarantee to get a great deal on this set. It is a very high end, great quality set of pots. We have a gas stove and these heat very quickly!

I have been looking for a while to replace my old pots from 1982. So far these pots are durable and clean up well. I would recommend buying.

I purchased this set to replace my old commercial grade Calphlone pots (I had purchased back in the early 1990’s when they were still manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, USA, not China-lol). Now that I’m older I didnt want to invest in All-Clad (great pots&pans) so, after much research I chose this set of Cuisinart & they have not been a disappointment. I would recommend this set to friends & family if uou want an alternative to All-Clad.

Great pans. Heat very evenly and are very sturdy. Fiat set of stainless I’ve owned and it is very easy to use and clean.

So far I haven’t had any issues with this set and I’ve had them for quite a while. They’re easy to clean and look great. They hold up so much better than any other set I’ve used!

Doesn't take much storage space. Much easier to clean than some. Heats up quick. Cooks evenly. The pots heat quickly and boil evenly.

Purchased these after our last set of pans got old and ruined. These pans work great. They heat evenly and with a little oil the food did not stick to the skillet. I mainly was checking to see if the handles get hot. Happy to say that they did not get hot. We got these at a good price and happy we did. We didn’t see the need to spend extra hundreds of dollars on the well- known high end brands.

Have only used pans once with steamer since purchase and very happy with them so far. Great deal as they were on sale.

Definitely a learning curve if you are switching from teflon. These bad boys are heavy. And cooking on stainless takes a little practice to not end up with a burnt stuck mess. Use the oil, preheat, and fiddle with your burners till you get it right.

We love these pans on our new induction stove. Easy to clean and always look shiny. Nice weight.

I've used these every single day now for 8 months & still in love with these pots & pans. Truly, they've been a dream to cook with and I've had some very good & expensive brands I've used in the past. These match those in quality in every area for fraction of the price I'd paid in the past.
