Cuisinart Multiclad Cookware

Cuisinart Multiclad cookware is both elegant and contemporary. Cuisinart has designed this line specifically for the professional home chef. The attractive brushed exterior looks nice on the stove and on the table, while the mirror-polished interior offers a non-reactive surface that releases food easily.

The aluminum base is sandwiched between stainless steel, offering a quick, even heating surface. This cookware is perfect for steaming vegetables, making crepes, hamburgers or braising meats. The stockpot is perfect for soup or stew. Stainless steel browns roux perfectly for sauces.

The pans switch easily from the stove to the oven when needed. They are well-balanced. The lids are interchangeable, and even fit the skillets.

Positive Features

Cuisinart Multiclad cookware is easy to clean and can even be placed in the dishwasher without worry. Even if food sticks, it can be removed with a few easy tricks. The pans distribute heat very evenly with no hot spots. For the best results, cook at lower temperatures with the Cuisinart Multiclad cookware.

The price is very reasonable for such high quality cookware. Many customers have compared it favorably to All-Clad. The 18/10 stainless steel is durable and looks good enough to hang in plain sight. The handle has a nice groove to fit your thumb and finger to make controlling pouring easier. A convenient recessed part of the lid allows steam to escape.

Bar Keepers Friend is a good cleanser to use to keep your stainless steel looking its best.

Considerations

Cuisinart Multiclad cookware can be a bit heavy until you get used to handling it. You need to remember to turn down the heat on your burners, since the heat is conducted so well. Cooking on high heats may cause discoloration.

The lids may be a tad thin, but they work well. Adding salt before liquid is boiling in a pan may cause pitting. Since this is consumer-caused, this is not covered in the warranty. Food can stick if enough oil or spray is not used, especially eggs.
