Our take on the Cuisinart Chef's Classic Cookware Set 17 pcs

This is a 17-piece stainless steel set built around an aluminum core sandwiched in the base, so heat spreads evenly on gas, electric and induction cooktops. It covers most of a kitchen: three saucepans, two casseroles, four pans, a steamer insert and seven glass lids, all oven-safe to 500°F and dishwasher-safe. Against clad-all-over rivals like All-Clad or Tramontina's tri-ply lines, the sandwich bottom heats the base well but the sides are single-ply, which matters for browning and simmering at the edges. It suits cooks who want broad coverage and induction compatibility without paying for full multi-ply construction.

Pros
  • Aluminum-core sandwich base heats evenly and works on induction
  • 17 pieces cover saucepans, skillets, casseroles and a steamer
  • Oven-safe to 500°F with stainless loop handles and glass lids
  • Dishwasher-safe and includes measuring marks inside the pans
  • Tapered rims pour cleanly; lids fit tightly
Cons
  • Sides are single-ply, so edges brown and simmer less evenly than the base
  • Stainless interiors need preheating and fat to avoid sticking
  • Glass lids and bare steel handles get hot; handles have no silicone grip
  • Large footprint takes serious cabinet space
  • Not fully clad like premium tri-ply sets

What reviewers say

Owners generally rate the set as solid value for a starter or mid-range kitchen, praising even heating on the base and the induction-ready build. Common complaints center on food sticking to the uncoated stainless and on the lighter, single-ply sides compared with fully clad cookware.

What people mention
  • Heat distributionPraisedOwners say the sandwich base heats evenly and holds temperature well on induction and gas.
  • StickingCriticisedReviewers report food sticking to the stainless interior unless they preheat and use enough oil.
  • BuildMixedThe base feels substantial, but owners note the sides are thinner than fully clad pans.
  • HandlesCriticisedStainless loop handles and lids get hot, so potholders are needed.
  • Piece countPraisedBuyers like that the set covers saucepans, skillets, casseroles and a steamer in one purchase.
  • StorageCriticisedThe 17 pieces and seven lids take up a lot of cabinet space.

Questions and answers

Is this set induction compatible?
Yes. The magnetic stainless steel sandwich base works on induction, gas, electric coil and smooth-top ranges.
Can the pans go in the oven?
Yes, the cookware is oven-safe to 500°F. The glass lids are not meant for broiler use.
Are the pans dishwasher safe?
Cuisinart lists them as dishwasher safe, though hand washing keeps the stainless finish brighter over time.
What is included in the 17 pieces?
Three saucepans, two casseroles, four pans or skillets, a steamer insert and seven glass lids.
How does it compare with fully clad sets?
The base is multi-layer but the sides are single-ply, so it heats less evenly at the edges than tri-ply cookware such as All-Clad.
Does food stick to the stainless interior?
Uncoated stainless needs preheating and oil or butter. With that technique it releases food reasonably well.
