Cuisinart French Classic Tri-Ply Stainless 13 Piece Set

Concerned about nonstick and aluminum in my current cookware with the high heat on my new gas power burner range, I returned to stainless steel. As a Christmas gift to myself I chose the Cuisinart Classic French Tri Ply cookware mainly because its high quality, produced in France and not China and the 13 piece set offered the pans I was most interested in. I've used this cookware for two months and am thoroughly impressed with the heat transfer from the bottom up the sides - I have not found it necessary to cook beyond Low-Medium burner settings. I've prepared sauces, stews, pasta, chicken and eggs and used every piece - the 4 qt French oven my favorite. They clean up beautifully and without pampering, all pieces look brand new which is important because I display my cookware on a pot rack. The outer steel finish is hard and durable and absolutely wear resistant. Unpacking the set I was taken with the substantive feel of each piece, even the lids. I'm very pleased with my decision and choice and find myself cooking again with a renewed ferver and loving my new cookware!
