"Great Pan and Love the Glass Lid" 2010-07-24
By Cityhopper
I was going to buy a second Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 3-Quart Chef's Pan with Cover and decided to go with the 5-1/2 Quart pan. I am glad I did. The size is perfect and I find just has versatile as the Chef's Pan. It's light weight and I love the two handle grips.

Given the price, I have no complaints of this pan and hope to use it for a long time.

"use it everyday with no problems" 2010-05-14
By T. Nguyen (Houston, TX)
Owned this item for last year or so. Use it everyday to make pasta sauce, fry chicken, saute, stir fry, poach, steam, etc. Everything cooks super well with medium to low heat. Sturdy weight but isn't too heavy like other pots. The light weight really helps when I have to hand wash this pot. Stainless steel means that food will stick, but that is called fond or "the good stuff" that enhances sauces and makes the meal better. After cooking your item, if you want sauce to accompany your meal, use a little stock (beef or chicken) in the pot at the same heat level. Bring to boil and the "stuck" pieces or bits at the bottom of the pot will be released and will beautifully flavor your food. Which makes clean up a breeze with soap and hot water. You can use the same method with water if you don't want to make sauce but want to clean those stuck pieces or bits. No elbow grease required. Use Bar Keeper's Friend to make the stainless steel shine like new. Buy with no regrets.

"great for soup" 2010-04-20
By Christina (NY, NY)
This pot is great for making soup. I love the bowl shape! It is easy to work with & cooks beautifully. So happy with this I bought a second one (at amazing price of $23) for my mom.

-edit: I forgot to mention that I use it on ceramic glass top & it works perfectly (heats quickly & evenly).

"shape good, spots bad" 2010-03-08
By scottfeldstein (waukesha, WI United States)
If you're worried about the unusual shape being a problem, forget about it. Any concern I had about the non-vertical sides making this pot tippy proved unfounded. it's as good at boiling pasta as it is simmering soup. I have, however, noticed small spots forming on the bottom (inside) of the pot. These could not be removed with barkeeper's friend. They're very small and I'm not too worried about it. But I know other reviewers have noted it and returned the item.

"great pots" 2010-07-02
By srj (Florida, USA)
I love these Cuisinart Chef's Classic pots. After 50 years of marriage, I decided to buy new pots and am not sorry. I threw out my old, dented copper-bottom Revere pots and just love these new ones. I clean them in the dishwasher and they look great.

"This is not 18/10 stainless steel!" 2010-04-20
By Jae Bum Kim
I thought this is 18/10 stainless steel. But it's not!

All the units under the chef's classic from the Cuisinart have the 18/10 mark on their bottom.

But ths doesn't have it. I checked Macy's website. And it doesn't say this pot is 18/10.

If I purchased it from Macy's, I would return it.

"A Solid Stock Pot" 2010-03-22
By Tim Allen (CHICAGO, IL, US)
This 6qt. stock pot, as it should be named, works well for it's purpose. For the price it is probably the best pot you will get. The stainless steel, as with all of cuisinarts chef's classic line, do show spots after cooking if your water is not soft, but is easily cleaned with bar keepers friend or equivilant. This is really only seen when cooking pasta. It holds temperature well, and when used properly, has very minimal sticking. By far one of the best and most successfull features on the entire line of pots and pans is the dripless rim. When pouring out sauce, water, or whatever you may be cooking, nothing gets dripped and then burned onto the sides of the exterior. Helps to keep your pots in good condition and clean. The lid also fits the 10 skillet so makes good for being universal. Would recommend this pot and the entire line of cuisinart cookware to anyone who wants good quality, and best of all affordable cookware.

"Good but not great" 2010-02-28
By K.K. D'Orque (Ohio)
I bought this for the size - six quarts - and the modest price. This is lighter weight than I was expecting and it seems to take overly long to bring water to a boil. I suspect the stainless aspect of it won't hold up well in the long haul. The first time I used it I brought water to a boil and then threw in a tablespoon of salt -- and immediately little black spots developed on the bottom of the pan. The black disappeared after washing the pan but little light color spots are still visible even after a good polishing with Bar Keepers Friend. I have a $260 dollar 8 quart All-Clad pot that I absolutely adore and this pot does not hold up well to that one in comparison. On the other hand, this puppy was just a fraction of the price of the All-Clad-- so I'd call it serviceable for the price.

I tend to make large quantities of soups and stews so a well made 12 quart pot comes in handy. The Pasta/Steamer insert makes cooking pasta or steaming a large batch of vegetables a snap, too. Cuisinart knows cooking so you can't go wrong with any of their stuff.

"An essential item for every kitchen" 2010-03-12
By John Huntington (Palm Beach, Florida)
I recently purchased the stainless steel 4-piece 12-quart pasta/steamer set and I don't know how I managed without one. This is an essential tool for every cook. I shopped several high-end department stores for a 12-quart steamer/pasta set and did not find any with the same quality as this one from Cuisinart. Besides the fact that the others were not stainless steel throughout, the price at the department stores were twice what I paid for this one. If you want quality, stainless steel, price and good looks, I certainly urge you to buy this one. 5 Stars plus!!

"Do not buy this from Kitchen Gallery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 2010-01-11
By D (United States)
I ordered this pot, Green Gourmet, item number GG66-24.

Kitchen Gallery shipped me a completely different pot. They sent me a Chef's classic Model 666-24. The coating on the pan is not Green Gourmet. Green Gourmet has a "ceramic" coating. The pot they sent me has a "quantanium" coating.

I did not get what I ordered.

I have other pans that are Green gourmet and I'm very happy with them.

Amazon should not allow Kitchen Gallery to fulfill orders anymore. They are crooks.

"A good pot" 2009-10-26
By Stuart|Anne (Seattle, WA)
Most of our pots are Chantal. We're quite happy with them, but whenever I drop one the enamel chips off a little and exposes the steel. Having done this one too many times, my wife got me one of these Cuisinart pots as a replacement. I'm happy with it - it works quite well. The inner non-stick surface seems to be very non-stick. We've only used it about a half dozen times, so I can't guarantee that the non-stick will hold up in the long term, but it has worked quite well so far.

One thing that I still like better about the Chantal pots are they glass lids that let me see through without lifting. The Cuisinart lid is metal and must be lifted for peeks inside.

"Great non-stick attributes so far" 2009-09-05
By Terry Dact El (California)
I've had several of the Cuisinart GreenGourmet frying pans that are great at first but had to be exchanged when they started to stick. When they stick, they are awful, much worse than Teflon ever was. Even though they didn't start to flake like Teflon can, they became unusable. I had the same disappointing results with another "green" line, the Greenpan Thermolon sold on Home Shopping Network. They tell you to season these kinds of pans by coating them in vegetable oil and putting them in a 300 degree oven for an hour but that did absolutely no good.

So far so good with this stock pot though, I've had it for three months now. I use it quite often for soups, stews and curries and it has been wonderful - no sticking and cleanup is a breeze. It looks very high quality and the size is perfect. I was actually replacing a 5 quart stockpot and was worried it would be too big but it is tall and narrow instead of short and squat so it actually takes up less room on the stove-top.

"Quality stockpot, great price" 2010-06-02
By B. Winstead (San Antonio, TX)
After researching stockpots, and seeing the great ratings for the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro line, I decided not to spend the extra money to buy the All-Clad stockpot. This was not an easy decision, because the rest of my cookware is All-Clad and I love it. For a piece that would be used more seldom than most of the other pieces, I decided to try the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro. The stockpot has a nice, heavy feel to it, and has been used to make soup, chili, stew. I've boiled chicken, ham bones, turkey carcasses, and through it all, have been thrilled with the quality. The lid is a little lighter weight than the pot, but that doesn't bother me, as I don't need a heavy lid. For the price, this is truly a bargain. Now if money were no object, would I have purchased the All-Clad over the Cuisinart Multiclad?...maybe.

I like the fact that this pot has aluminum up the sides as well as on the bottom. It worked great when I made turkey soup from the day before's turkey carcass. The pot is very strong and solid. The lid looks a bit thinner, but seems fairly sturdy as well. I'd buy it again, as it is a great deal for the money.

"A Best Buy" 2010-03-01
By Jeffrey L. Patten (Tucson, AZ)
I'm a bargain hunter and I always look to buy the best quality I can afford for the lowest price I can find. In the February issue of "Cook's Illustrated", the America's Test Kitchen folk did an equipment review on Stock pots. They recommend a 12 quart size as being most universally useful, and that was what they tested. Unfortunately, the Cuisinart Multi-Clad wasn't one of those tested, but I think the results of what they did test speaks volumes. Their winner was All-Clad and I quote " . . . didn't have a single flaw - except a price tag over $300". Their "Best Buy" was the Cuisinart Chef's Classic, and again I quote "Very similar to All-Clad - except with a price tag well under $100". The Cuisinart Multi-Clad offers virtually the same features as All-Clad, with the aluminum core extending up the sides of the pot to provide more even heating, but like the Chef's Classic, with a price under $100. Getting top of the line features for mid-level pricing makes for a best buy in my opinion.

"Cuisinart stock pot" 2009-11-15
By Sora
I purchased this pot to replace a 35 year old La Crueset 12 quart enameled cast iron pot. I use it mainly to put up preserves, and fruit butters. The enamel on the old pot had finally started to crack and peel off. Desparatly needed a new pot. Found this one on Amazon for an amazing price. I already have a Cuisinart set with a 7 quart the largest. So this one complements the team. It's much lighter and easier to clean and deal with than the old La Crueset. I love it.

"Quality is missing" 2009-10-23
By Pop (New York)
I bought this pot and a few others in the set as a cheaper alternative to my All-Clad set. After a few uses, I see a lot of corrosion around the rivets, and bottom of pot. I know stainless steel can't rust, but something is strange with these pots. Maybe it will come off with bar keepers friend or the like, but I don't have this problem with my All-Clad collection. I still use them, but perhaps they are not using 18/10 stainless, but rather a cheaper 18/0 or 18/8 stainless which are more susceptible to corrosion. After all, what's the quality control in china?
