I bought this product and wanted to rate it because this is DEFINITELY NOT a 5 * rated product as the other reviewers have given. I own a Chef’s Classic Stainless 14-Piece set and the quality of this set is worse that the 14-Piece set. The attached aluminum plate in the bottom for even heating is thinner. The overall product is made of thinner stainless steel. I’m giving a 1 * to bring the overall rating down however it can be a 2* product.

I started purchasing the Cuisinart Chef’s Classic series last year because I purchased a parrot companion to live with me and I read from several sources that fumes released from cooking with non-stick coated cookware was extremely toxic, actually causes death, to birds although undetected by humans. I am so glad to find such a wonderful line of cookware at a very affordable price, especially since I was replacing all of my new non-stick (brand to remain undisclosed, but I will say not cheap)cookware I had purchased only 2 months prior to my parrot. I’m glad I read Cuisinart’s care instructions because it is very easy to clean and it’s a year later and all of the pieces I have purchased still look like new. My only regret is that I didn’t buy the complete set like the 17 pc one to start with.Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless 17-Piece Cookware Set
And now my bird and I are healthy and happy thanks to Cuisinart.

Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Multi-Purpose Pot is an excellent purchase. Have used it to make soups and chili and other one pot meals. Even distribution of heat and cleanup is a breeze. Looking forward to purchasing other Chef’s Classic items in the future.

Ok, I use this pan to make the most divine goat milk fudge from scratch, on a glass top stove…not an easy feat for sure. A decadently smooth batch with perfect set is all about the pan, even temperatures, and lots of stirring. (Lots and lots of Stirring!)
I have tried quite a few stainless steel pots/pans; some very expensive some mid-range, and none have produced results as nice as this pan.
First- this pan’s curved sides and attachment angle to the bottom make for easier stirring with less hand fatigue and also eliminates small missed stir area edges like on straight sided pans. This is important because sugar crystal buildup happens where your spoon tip can’t reach or get into on every stir swipe and the crystals ruin the smoothness of the fudge.
Second- the bottom heats completely even (on my stove anyway) and distributes the heat up the sides evenly too. Just as important, once removed from the heating element the pan cools quicker than other pans and this makes for better incorporation of added ingredients with a thicker set up.
This pan is light and has a very smooth bottom. The brand name imprint on the bottom doesn’t affect the smoothness, like on other stainless steel pans. As I’m stirring in one direction, I can easily spin the pan in the opposite direction on my glass top. It’s balanced well, stays in place while I’m doing this, and glides effortlessly.
Yeah, I know… not supposed to spin or slide pans on glass cook tops and normally I don’t.
Third- Because of the lighter weight of this pan, as compared to other stainless steel, it’s easier to pour the fudge out into the awaiting pans. This is never an easy thing to do, but the pan’s lighter weight is helpful, especially with a large batch of fudge. The tapered rim also helps for a smooth pour.
Fourth- it cleans up like a dream.

This is just what I was looking for. I know another reviewer didn’t like it, but as long as you read the directions first you can’t go wrong with this pot. Have used it on the range and in the oven with great results. The size and the glass lid are my favorite things about it. Cleans up easily. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.
