Cuisinart Contour Stainless 13-Piece Cookware Set,Silver

Beautiful cookware set. Cleans great in the dishwasher. Learning curve as these are not nonstick and the lid handles get hot.Overall pleased with the product.

I have to say, after reading some of the reviews I was a little scared to buy the set. I have 47 years cooking experience for a family of 6. I also have a Contour 12" fry pan my fiance bought for me & I have had no problems with it, in fact I love this fry pan! So I took the plunge & bought the Contour set! My set came & they were just beautiful! Not a scratch or dent to be found anywhere. I have cooked everything in them with no problems (sticking, cleaning etc.) no marks , discoloration or pitting like some people have complained about. Handles & lid handles are fine, don't get hot enough for use of oven mitts. I have cooked tomato sauce & meatballs & let them simmer on the stove & have no sticking what so ever.The instructions are very clear about cooking temps. & cleaning process. I take a lot of pride in my cooking & how my pots & pans look. Cleaning is quick & simple. No more time to clean than any non stick set.No scrubbing needed! And they look beautiful. As good as new! Please Do Not let the negative reviews deter you from ordering these pots & pans, I love mine & I am sure you will Not be disappointed in this purchase! Just remember: Read the instructions & you will NOT have any problems, A few old hints: lower heat & heat the pan a little before putting oil or butter in the pan & everything will cook fine. Cooking with s.s. is different than non stick pans. And if something does stick,( old hint) put on stove with water & boil for a couple mins. & it will come right out & Bar Keepers Friend will become YOUR BEST FRIEND. It takes 2 seconds to use & saves on dish soap! Also if you find shadows of what you cooked in the pan, use about 1/8 th cup of vinegar to a cup or 2 of water & boil on stove & shadows will disappear like magic!I only saw a shadow once & never again! Also make sure you dry the pans well, I use a microfiber cloth & they shine like new! LOVE MY POTS & PANS! Wish you all luck with them. I have had an excellent experience with mine! 1 more thing, my fiance said he paid big bucks in the store for 1 12" pan, so i found the price on Amazon to be very good as well.

I'm used to using non-stick cookware, but I wanted to veer away from chemicals in my cookware, so I went with stainless this time. I've used stainless cookware previously and had a hard time cooking some things (like fried eggs) and a hard time cleaning them too. I haven't had that issue with this set. I've used this set for two weeks, and I haven't had any issues cleaning them, and have used them to fry eggs on multiple occasions. They do take a little getting used to after using non-stick cookware for so long, but I'm very happy I've made the switch. This is such a beautiful set, I love the shape of this cookware. The only complaint I have about them, is that you can't stack them. On some cookware sets, you can turn the lids upside down over the pot, and this will create a stable enough surface to set another pot on top of it. This is not the case with this set. If you put the lids upside down over these pots, they'll slide around a lot and aren't a stable enough surface for another pot. So, if you're short on space in your kitchen and want to stack these, I recommend getting a lid rack. I also did notice some discoloration in the interior of the pots after use (kind of an oxidized look to the metal), but the exterior still looks beautiful.

These are excellent quality and exquisite to look at. And the cook good too!:-)Handles are firmly secured, and lids fit perfect. Although I haven't used the all, the one I have used have very good heat distribution. The pasta pot that fits into the 8 qt is fantastic. Makes it much easier to cook and drain.Note these are not non-stick and require cleaning! Bu that is cool. The high buff gloss makes that much easier.

This cookware is beautiful. But it is very easy for food to stick, no matter what I do. I have followed the instructions and suggestions that came with it, don’t use high heat, don’t use nonstick spray. It also says don’t use anything abrasive to clean or dishwasher detergent with lemon or stainless utensils. I was surprised at how many picky instructions there were. After just a few uses the bottom of the skillet is cloudy. So overall I’m disappointed. I researched and tried to make a good decision for usability and economy. I don’t think this cookware is going to last like my previous set, which was Farberware that took me through 35 years of daily use and came out of the dishwasher shiny and clean. Also the handles get too hot to handle being used on the stovetop. You will have to keep a potholder handy, which if your not accustomed to will get you!

Our family loves to cook and this stainless steel cookware will definitely help out! Couldn't ask for better skillets, pots and pans. Healthier way to cook! Lifetime warranty. Get 'em now folks!!!

These pans are wonderful for those switching to nontoxic pans. The stainless steel is easy to clean and easily nonstick with the right amount of oil.

The media could not be loaded. I’m pleasantly surprised, threw out all my toxic pots & pans. As long you know how to cook with stainless steel your food won’t stick.
