Cuisinart – MultiClad Pro 12-Piece Cookware Set – Steel

Had these for a couple of months now and couldn’t be happier. They are heavy, but I expected that. Bottoms are perfectly flat and heat very evenly. Wish the lids were see through and it doesn’t come with a pasta insert, only a veggie steamer. So far the stainless is holding up well and looks great.

This cooking set is ideal for prepare just about any meal under the sun it’s light,estheticaly pleasing and easy to clean

Very heavy duty, cooks evenly , cleans up really easy

The pots cook well and clean easily but I still question if I could of gotten the same quality in a less expensive pot.

i love these pot & pans easy to clean also got the hanging rack

Good pots and pans to cook on. Food doesn’t stick on it very easily, but if it does, SOS pads work great in it. Scratches easily though.

Good price for good pans. I didn’t want to spend a fortune on good, decent pans. I plan to add to the set I bought.

The pans are a good looking set of pans and have cleaned up well after use. They have cooked up the food as expected.

Bought these for my daughter and she loves them. Excellent price on this item.

Definitely a learning curve if you are switching from teflon. These bad boys are heavy. And cooking on stainless takes a little practice to not end up with a burnt stuck mess.

Use the oil, preheat, and fiddle with your burners till you get it right.

Purchased these after our last set of pans got old and ruined. These pans work great. They heat evenly and with a little oil the food did not stick to the skillet. I mainly was checking to see if the handles get hot. Happy to say that they did not get hot.

We got these at a good price and happy we did. We didn’t see the need to spend extra hundreds of dollars on the well- known high end brands.

I bought these after using Teflon for years. There is definitely a learning curve associated with stainless steel, but this set is as forgiving as Stainless Steel can be. It definitely takes a while to get warmed up, but once it’s there, the heat is uniform. Clean up is also a lot easier than I was worried that it would be. Overall, very happy with the move to stainless steel.

Doesn’t take much storage space. Much easier to clean than some.
Heats up quick. Cooks evenly. The pots heat quickly and boil evenly.

Heads up before the review: The 7 piece is a waste of money, and the 10 piece is NOT THE SAME PRODUCT, it is an odd online bundle or holiday special that should not be compared to the actual MCP lineup.

I’m not going to leave a long *review*; instead I’m going to start by telling you what people do wrong:

A) They don’t read the directions.
B) They don’t take time to adjust to a new tool.
C) They don’t treat the product correctly.

My solutions:

A) The instructions tell you how to prepare, clean, and maintain the product. They talk about safe temperatures, staining, cleaning, discoloration, scratches, and how to deal with them, and lengthen the life of your product. You’ll have these pans for decades — good multiply stainless cookware can last a lifetime. Don’t use metal utensils if you are worried about scratches, probably ever; and definitely not if you buy non-stick instead, and DISCARD IT if non-stick flakes off.

B) Use it for a few days or weeks, depending on your skill level — if every pan you buy is junk, you’re probably not as proficient in the kitchen as you think. Learn how hot your burners get, learn to cook with a thermometer, and what temperature your food needs to be to be safe to eat, and pleasant to eat. Food will stick, that’s okay, it’s called find and it’s used for making sauces — it also comes off super easy with a small amount of liquid added to a warm pan. It’s okay to mess up, don’t blame this pan.

C) You have to preheat the pan on Medium or Medium High, when the pan is hot you may add some fat… Butter, or oil are best, but cooking spray is okay you’re using stainless. You should not use spray on non-stick. You should not put fat in a cold pan, because it will burn before the pan is hot enough to cook food.

Pros:
+ Very happy with my MultiClad Pro MCP12N set. Not sure I’ll use the steamer often, but I love how versatile the set is.
+ Good to at least 500° in oven, much better than inferior disk-bottom pans and cheap non-stick which shouldn’t be ovened at all.
+ Easy to clean with a brush and detergent, some vinegar takes care of the rainbow stains, a blue scrubby takes care of any really stuck food, and some Barkeeper’s Friend on the scrubby takes care of the white mineral deposits.

Cons:
– Never like rivets inside the pan. Hard to scrape down sides, and stuff gets cooked into the rivets (easy enough to clean, but inconvenient).
– Could pour better. Flared edges are a benefit, but dribbles if you ease off.
– The lids are a bit odd — they are a bit tough to rest cracked, and you need to keep a plate handy to set them down on since they don’t have a lip, and will be too hot to flip over without burning yourself.

Not very satisfied with this product consider how much I paid for it. The frying pans are NOT nonstick like advertised. When you make eggs in them regardless of how much butter or oil you put the eggs will still stick.

They’re great. Easy to use. Love the look. No complaints

I’ve used these every single day now for 8 months & still in love with these pots & pans. Truly, they’ve been a dream to cook with and I’ve had some very good & expensive brands I’ve used in the past. These match those in quality in every area for fraction of the price I’d paid in the past.

I am very pleased with this set of pots. I have only ever owned the less expensive, and usually non-stick variety of, cookware so it is such a pleasure to cook with this set. I love the even heating and how nicely the lids fit. I did have to get used to setting the temp a little lower when using these because they don’t require as much heat. They do take longer to heat up but distribute the heat so evenly. I have two cons, food does tend to stick to the bottom even at lower temps. I like to cook eggs over easy and I have had a hard time getting those to cook without sticking regardless of whether I use butter, margarine, or spray oil. The sticking of food then requires more effort when cleaning. The other con is cleaning in general. They definitely require more effort to get the inside bottom clean. I did purchase a recommended cleaner, Barkeepers Friend, but have yet to try it.
Overall I find this set to be very well made and a great value for money especially when compared to other comparable quality brands.

My first stainless steel set and it’s amazing to use.

I was looking for some budget friendly choices for a stainless steel set. The quality of the product and prompt delivery make this review 5/5.

Great and easy to clean nothing a little baking soda cant remove… really wanted cookware without the chemical nonsense and this is it

A gift to myself moving into my apartment for the first time. This set is beautiful ASF! Quality is amazing and I absolutely love the sleek silver finish.

Bought these to use with my new range so I didn’t scratch the glass top. The quality is amazing and they are actually really easy to use/clean after reading all of the tips on what to do/not do. Highly recommend!
