Cuisinart 12-Piece MultiClad Pro Triple Ply Stainless Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Set, Cookware Set Compatible with Induction, Electric, Gas Cooktops, Cool Grip Handles, Oven Safe to 500°F, Silver

I cook for a larger crowd regularly, and I had come to the point of needing a few extra pieces to complement my All-Clad d5 set. However, I was not prepared to pay All-Clad prices a second time round... so I decided to go for this set, which was less for the set than the All-Clad stockpot alone. To be honest, I only realized that there was a 7 piece set after receiving this one, and maybe that was lucky, as I would have ordered the smaller set had I seen it before... but now I am happy to have the 12 set. So, comparing the two sets... - Yes, the All-Clad is better quality. Sturdier, heavier, easier to clean. But, the difference is small, and at this stage, I am not sure it's $600 better. - Once you learn how to cook with stainless steel, both sets perform beautifully. For everyday cooking, I am not seeing much difference between the two. - The Cuisinart one still cleans nicely, even though it might take a bit more soaking for burned-on food. It reacts very nicely to Bar Keeper's friend for more difficult stains. - The shiny inside surface makes me nervous for scratches, but no evidence of such yet. I am sure they will eventually appear, but, honestly, I don't care as much. - The lids are much lighter than the All-Clad ones. Not sure that it matters though. - Compared to my other set, this one seems to have less surface and more height, making it more appropriate if I am cooking smaller quantities - I find myself reaching for it if I am cooking for 1 or 2 people. - It's beautiful. Happy to see it hanging on my rack. The different sizes are the main reason I am happy I ended up buying the 12 piece set, as it gives me more flexibility in choosing the appropriate size for the job at hand. I would think that the Cuisinart version is possibly better than the All-Clad if you are routinely cooking for 1-2 people; the All-Clad may be better if cooking for 3-4. Not that either set couldn't handle any amount of people in that range. For myself, I see that I am reaching for what I thought was going to be my backup set more often than I thought I would. And, even though I can tell the All-Clad is better quality, the difference is not such that would impact my day-to-day cooking. Of course, longevity (my All-Clad set is close to 10 years old with no signs of wear) remains to be seen.

I bought this set along with a few additional pieces back in 2009. This set has held up wonderfully. I cook a lot, a whole lot! I’ve cooked countless meals for my family (including 2 hungry boy teens, husband, friends and family) with this cookware. It performs fantastic! Food does not stick and it’s easy to clean. It holds temperature perfectly. When my college age son, who is in grad school wanted a good set of pots and pans this year for Christmas, I was amazed this was still available! The exact same set was for sale in 2025. He was excited to get such a great set! I feel it will truly last him a lifetime. I also like that I can give him some of the extra pieces I bought years ago to match. .The exact set. That says a lot about the quality and popularity! These pots have been thrown into the cabinet and not pampered. No dents. No defects. Still work perfectly after all these years. My daughter in law cleaned them up really nice (bottoms of all pans get discolored over time). They looked like brand new. Light scratches inside from years of cooking but that doesn’t affect the performance. I don’t baby my pans. They are workhorses in my kitchen. If these seem a little expensive, keep watching the price or wait until Prime Days/Black Friday. I’m just thrilled they still make this set and I could gift a new set to my son! I will probably be gifting another set to my other son next year. Great job Cuisinart! 10/10 A+++

wonderful product! cooks like a dream, easy cleanup, heats levels are outstanding,and comes complete with lids that fit many configurations

This is my first "real" cookware set, and one that I am expecting will last me for *many* years. This is an upgrade from a non-stick aluminum set that I had previously. That set worked well enough, but after a number of years the coating was coming off and dents were starting to pile up. The first thing I noticed about the Multiclad Pro set is that the pots are beautiful. They have really excellent design that I find myself admiring every time I use them. The next thing I noticed is that they are much heavier than their aluminum equivalents, though not unwieldy. They have a nice, solid heft that gives the impression they will resist daily use and the occasional knock very well. Leaving behind the Teflon coating, I was a little concerned that food would stick more and that the pots would be harder to clean. Neither one has been a problem. The evenness of the heating has kept me from burning anything significantly, and the smooth surface doesn't appear to give food a chance to stick. The only issue I've had with cleaning has been some discoloration that stays behind after cooking starches like rice or pasta. I cleaned that off by letting it soak with a mixture of water and white vinegar, and then it came off pretty easily. The only thing holding me back from giving 5 stars is that the 8-quart stock pot came with a bit of layer separation along one edge. It was fairly subtle, and I didn't notice it for a few weeks, but Amazon replaced it quickly. The replacement was flawless, and no further issues have come up. Since it was only one piece of the set, and the replacement was fine, this suggests to me that the separation issue isn't that common. Still, when you get a new set you would do well to inspect the edges to ensure that there is no separation between the layers. If there is, get a replacement within the return window. The last thing to think about with this set is which pots you actually need. As a single person, I don't use the 3.5 quart sauté pan, and I use a cast iron frying pan instead of the excellent frying pans that come with this set. I did get an extra 2 quart saucepan (from the same Multiclad Pro collection), though, because I find the 3 quart pan to be too large for some of my common uses. And since I intend to be using these for many years to come, I expect I will grow into using the remaining pieces as well. Over all, a great cooking set!

As expected, the item arrived as posted

Hermosos, excelentes en todos los aspectos

Firstly, I’ve given this cookware set a 5 out of 5 based on ‘best value’ not ‘best quality’. Secondly, I place considerably more trust in reviews from America's Test Kitchen (ATK) / CenturyLife.Org than most user reviews. Similarly, I expect readers of this review to treat it on a ‘for information only’ basis. In a nut-shell the Cuisinart MCP-12N Multiclad Pro Stainless Steel 12 x piece cookware set is a Chinese made equivalent of the USA made 3D All-Clad range. A great comparison review was written by CentryLife. The only addition I can make to their review is that the sides of the Cuisinart fry pans/skillets are noticeably steeper than that or the All-Clad, as seen in the picture (All-Clad 3D left / Cuisinart right). As noted in the ATK review of 12” skillets, these steeper sides may be detrimental under some circumstances. These two fry pans are comparable in almost every other respect, aside from cost. The Cuisinart Multiclad Pro saucepans do show watermarks more than the All-Clad, these can be removed with Barkeepers Friend. The entire 12 x piece Cuisinart MCP-12N set was only $20 more than my 1 x Demeyere Proline Frying Pan, so my expectations are adjusted accordingly. I believe the performance gap between Demeyere and All-Clad is significantly more than the gap between All-Clad and Cuisinart. High quality workhorse skillets can be purchased at a later date, if required. The Cuisinart set is worth it for the saucepans and stockpot alone, the skillets are an entry point bonus.

The Cuisinart MCP-12N Multiclad Pro cookware set was carefully packaged and delivered quickly. The pots and pans feel heavy and sturdy, indicating great quality. I haven’t used them yet, but my first impression is very positive. Thanks to the seller for the careful shipping!

Funciona muy bien, la gente que se queja porque se pegan las cosas, es porque no lo sabe usar, debe ser a fuego medio y siempre usar aceite ya que no son de teflon. Me gusta que el fondo está integrado en una sola pieza lo cual lo hace duradero las tapas también son de acero. Si lo recomiendo.
