Summary: Wonderful set of cookware!
Comment: I just purchased this set of cookware today after researching and reading a lot of reviews. I just cannot afford to buy a set of All-Clad and I see a lot of reviewers here said this set is every bit as good as All-Clad so I decided to go with this set. These pans are absolutely gorgeous! They also cook very well. I used the pans for the first time for dinner this evening and made one mistake. Never add salt to a pan of water before it boils. It left my 3 quart saucepan with white spots on the bottom inside of the pan that will not come off. I have since read different sources online that say salt will do this to stainless steel and to never add salt to a pot of water before it comes to a boil. The saucepan is not ruined, it just isn't spotless like it was before...it left between 6-8 small white spots on the bottom interior of the pan. It won't affect the performance of the pan, and it does not appear to be at all pitted. This set of cookware is very heavy duty and extremely well made. To the reviewer who said the handles broke off their cookware...did you drive a tank over it? I cannot see any way under normal usage how the handles could come off these pans! They are not merely welded on, they are RIVETED on. They are very sturdy! I am very satisfied with my purchase and plan to add additional pieces to my set.

Summary: Wonderful!!
Comment: This is my first set of stainless cookware. I LOVE IT!! They are so easy to cook with. It took me a minute or two to turn down the burners and cook at a lower temperature than what I used to, but once I did....every thing has turned out so tasty! If you are thinking about getting rid of those nasty teflon pots and pans that are all scratched up this cookware set is perfect!!

Summary: Set for life!!!... Now induction ready...
Comment: I picked up this set when the price dropped to 210 for only a day. It was pointed out to me by someone on the Amazon message boards and I'm VERY grateful. The outer box was seriously damaged and taped, but the inner box and contents were fine. That might be why they let it go at the lower price. They may not have wanted to risk sending a damaged set to someone who paid a premium price for premium cookware, or they just didn't like how the packaging looked.
The set is beautiful... Everything I hoped it would be. Just as thick and heavy as my mom's heirloom steel clad / alluminum set. I was a little awed by opening the box and unwrapping the pieces one by one. I kept thinking... WOW!!! The picture really doesn't do this set justice. If you wanted to be picky, the lids seem just a little thin, but sturdy enough and they fit very well. The stainless has a very slightly darker look to it than the stainless on my mom's heirloom set. The stainless is probably not quite the same quality, but surprisingly close for this day and age. I'm still amazed at what I got for what I paid and have no real complaints at all. The set does seem like it will last more than one generation. Because of this, I like that the lids aren't glass. If they were, one might break... say 15 years down the road... and a replacement might not be available. The stainless lids should last the life of the set.
I have found all the sizes in this set to be very useful compared to what comes in some other sets. This is one of the few sets you'd have no problem cooking for a small family with, without adding additional pieces. You can make a good amount of food in the 3-quart and 8-quart pots and the good-sized 3 1/2 quart saute pan can also be used for just about anything that could be made in a pot or a pan. I'll probably add the 4-quart saucepan or 6-quart pot just in case. I can't decide...
I grew up using 3-ply aluminum / stainless cookware... I've had no problems cooking with this set or keeping it clean. It is performing pretty much as expected. I did get some discoloration spots once from boiling water on high (plenty of water). The spots came off by themselves the next time I used, soaked and washed the saucepan, but that never happened with my mother's old aluminum / stainless clad. It seems my suspicion that the stainless isn't quite the same quality as on my mom's vintage set was correct. I'll have to keep the heat down a bit. Whether or not the stainless is of slightly higher quality on any other brand of cookware made today... I do not know.
I also wanted to add that I keep reading the Cuisinart Multi-Clad Pro can't be used on induction cooktops. Mine says on the box that it can be used on induction cooktops and every piece is stamped "induction ready" on the bottom. It's possible they have just made this change to Multi-Clad Pro.
EDIT: The additional piece I added to my set must have been older stock and it is not stamped "induction ready". Although, it seems to be identical in construction to the other pieces and the stainless does seem to be equally magnetic. I'm not sure if Multiclad Pro has been induction ready all along and it just wasn't advertised... or there has been some change made to the cookware I can't detect.

Summary: For the price, wonderful pans
Comment: There's not a lot to add to all the good things already said about this product. These are wonderful pans for the price.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Pan Handles fell off after only 5 years
Comment: I have always loved these pans until the handle welds failed. Cuisinart wants me to mail them the pots and lids at my expense, they will determine who is at fault, then they will charge me to mail the pans back. Oh yeah, and they said that the lids are not under warranty - despite that there is the exact problem with the lid handle... so I have a stockpot with only one handle, and a lid for another pan with no handle and the company wants me to be out $40 in postage costs to determine if they are at fault.... I am kind of pissed, as I purchased this "quality" set to last my lifetime .

A shining example of kitchen competence, this set includes everything you need for great cooking. The special multiclad construction bonds brilliantly polished 18/10 stainless steel to a core of pure aluminum for the fastest, most even heat distribution. Professional stainless covers with drip-free rims seal in flavors and nutrients, while the generously sized cool-grip handles provide handling safety. Limited lifetime warranty.
