" ... I like these pans as well as my old All Clad pans. ... "
" ... I did the egg test. ... Melted butter Added egg cooked to perfection(over easy! ... "
" ... Also yes these are not non stick pans and some reviewers were quite upset but what really helps is if you let the pan get hot first before you add oil or butter and that really minimizes sticking, It has for me. ... "
" ... Cuisinart is top of the line in all it's appliances large or small ... "
" ... Good quality, easy clean, food cooks evenly, had to buy non stick fry pans for eggs and some other foods. ... "
" ... looks good and cooks great ... "
" ... The small sauce pan is big enough to boil eggs, to give you an idea. ... "
" ... Level your stove so oil will sit evenly in the pan. ... They still seem to cook well. ... No issue with the pots or smaller pans. ... "

" ... Dishwasher safe, but I think we’ve only hand washed these. ... "
" ... I was a little apprehensive about going with stainless but have found it to be amazingly easy to clean, even when food does stick and, one can actually 'cure' your pan to make it 'less-sticky'. ... "
" ... Easy to clean, just actually read the pamplet that comes with them. ... "
" ... As an unexpected bonus, the glass top on our electric stove stays a lot cleaner . ... "
" ... Then I need to soak the pan for like 2 hours so I can clean it properly. ... "
" ... They clean up very nicely with a sponge & baking soda. ... "
" ... I can't 100% comment on it being drip free as I always have a paper towel or something handy to wipe the edge. ... "
" ... I absolutely love the pots and pans, they are Very durable, they clean up so nice. ... "

" ... Heats very evenly and is beautiful. ... "
" ... Allows you to just focus on the food and not have to worry about nonstick toxins from using high heat and scratching the nonstick coating. ... "
" ... If you set the lid ajar the heat will push it up and in place. ... Nothing like having a great set that gives even heat. ... "
" ... Heats very quickly. ... But for what I want, a great set of pots and pans which heat evenly and quickly, these are GREAT. ... "
" ... I particularly like how they distribute heat evenly. ... "
" ... I have a flat electric stovetop, and the lower quality pots I had just took ages to heat up - boiling water for pasta was such a chore. ... "
" ... - SUPER heat conductivity. ... - The lid handles will heat up, so keep a mitt handy for checking on your food. ... "
" ... The preheating took some getting used to but over all my food cooks quicker and tastes better. ... "

" ... I used 1-2 table spoons of white vinegar and that got all the spots out and even helped speed up the soaking process, actually with the vinegar there really isnt a soaking process. ... "

" ... They heat up relatively quick and evenly and are very easy to clean after a quick soak. ... "
" ... One last thing, make sure to always heat up the pan dry before you add your oil/fat to cook with, it helps tremendously with sticking. ... "
