I researched stainless steel cookware sets for almost a year. I had non-stick for quite a few years, but decided I didn't want to use non-stick anymore because of so many unanswered questions and debate about the safety of non-stick. I was a little nervous to change to having all stainless in my set because I thought it would be miserable to clean, but not with this set! I have had the Cuisinart 12 quart stockpot for years and though it is not multiclad, I LOVE it! I finally got around to looking for a complete set of cookware and I don't know what took me so long to finally buy this set. It's wonderful! Cooks evenly and is very easy to clean. It is well worth the extra money for the multiclad. They are the perfect weight... not too heavy, but very sturdy and very well designed. I highly recommend this cookware for those who love to cook on high quality cookware, but do not want to spend the money on brands like All-Clad or Viking. The only addition I plan on adding in the near future is the 5 1/2 quart Cuisinart Multiclad Pro saute pan with helper handle. Do yourself a favor and purchase this set. You'll wonder what took you so long also!

I've had this set for about a year. My set was made in China. Used daily, and frequently entertain parties of 20+. I've used All Clad, etc. Cuisinart Multiclad is an EXCELLENT product. Performance is nothing short of terrific. I've had ZERO problems and highly recommend this set. For those new to stainless pans, follow the easy care instructions. There are good tips in other reviewers posts here (barkeepers friend, moderate/low heat, acidic foods should not set in the pans, etc.) Enjoy!

I have purchased several different brands and styles of tephlon cookware over the past few years. I am so excited about this new set of Stainless Steel cookware! I have had them about a month now and I really enjoy cooking with them! I am still trying to get used to using Stainless Steel fry pans, but I'm getting the hang of it.
I highly recommend these pans. I am looking forward to owning these for many, many years! They have a nice feel, clean up quickly and easily, and are quite hefty pans.

[Update 7/24/09: I received a new lid today along with a bill for $4 for shipping. The weird thing is that this lid is different than all my others. It is noticeably heavier with a larger handle and different rivets. Did they redesign them since I purchased back in April? Was it due to a defect? I really wish Cuisinart would simply replace all my lids.]
[Update 7/13/09: I sent my rusted lid back to Cuisinart. Today I phoned them to check on the status of the warranty request. They claim the lids are not covered under the warranty and they now want $4 to mail my lid back to me. I am very disappointed with their service. Buyer beware]
I purchased this product based on the positive reviews I found on Amazon and elsewhere. My previous set of cookware was Anolon non-stick. It lasted about 6 years and I was generally pretty happy with it but I decided I wanted stainless. I originally purchased a set of All-Clad but returned it after I discovered Cuisinart Multiclad Pro at 1/3 the price. However, now that these pots are rusting I am second guessing my decision.
When the set first arrived the cookware seemed somewhat lighter than All-Clad but otherwise looked great. The first time I tried to boil water I noticed it took much longer, and I had to use a higher heat, than with my Anolon. I was a bit perplexed by this since everything in the Cuisinart instructions says to use a lower heat since it conducts so well. Apparently high heat will stain/discolor any stainless steel. But if the water won't boil the only thing to do is crank up the heat.
Other than the heating problem I have had some issues with sticking. I am sure some of this has to do that I am a novice when it comes to cooking with stainless. I am pre-heating the pan so that is not the problem. I am also experiencing a white, chalky residue in the bottom/sides of these pans. I am not sure if this has to do with the hard water in my area, the types of foods I am cooking (starchy pastas, potatoes, etc) or what. But I find myself having to frequently bust out the BKF (Bar Keepers Friend) to keep them looking clean. I guess the reality is that stainless is never going to be as easy to clean as non-stick.
However, the biggest problem I am having with this cookware is that the lids have started rusting. Most of the rust is contained to the lid handle and the area where the handle is riveted to the lid. The only logical explanation for this is that the lid is not 100% 18/10 stainless steel. I have found at least one other online reviewer who described this exact same problem. Apparently these pots used to be made in Korea but my set was made in China. I can only assume that the quality has gone down considerably in recent years vs. when the bulk of the positive reviews were written.
There is a lifetime warranty on the set so I am going to contact Cuisinart this week to see what they will do for me. If you are in the market for high-quality, lower cost stainless steel cookware you might want to try an alternative like Tramontina.

I liked the cookware set. It cooks meat well. Scrambled eggs tend to stick if you do not use enough oil in the pan. All in all I would recomend it to my friends. I think the price is real good for the quality of the product.
