Cuisinart 12-Piece MultiClad Pro Triple Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Heat Surround Technology, Cool Grip Handles, Oven Safe to 500°F, MCPS-12N, Silver

I bought this set along with a few additional pieces back in 2009. This set has held up wonderfully. I cook a lot, a whole lot! I’ve cooked countless meals for my family (including 2 hungry boy teens, husband, friends and family) with this cookware. It performs fantastic! Food does not stick and it’s easy to clean. It holds temperature perfectly. When my college age son, who is in grad school wanted a good set of pots and pans this year for Christmas, I was amazed this was still available! The exact same set was for sale in 2025. He was excited to get such a great set! I feel it will truly last him a lifetime. I also like that I can give him some of the extra pieces I bought years ago to match. .The exact set. That says a lot about the quality and popularity! These pots have been thrown into the cabinet and not pampered. No dents. No defects. Still work perfectly after all these years. My daughter in law cleaned them up really nice (bottoms of all pans get discolored over time). They looked like brand new. Light scratches inside from years of cooking but that doesn’t affect the performance. I don’t baby my pans. They are workhorses in my kitchen. If these seem a little expensive, keep watching the price or wait until Prime Days/Black Friday. I’m just thrilled they still make this set and I could gift a new set to my son! I will probably be gifting another set to my other son next year. Great job Cuisinart! 10/10 A+++

I love these! I have been using them for about three months no problems at all, they are durable. They maintain heat consistently and very well and they clean up great. If you see other reviews that knock stainless steel cookware don’t pay attention - at least with these you get Cuisinart quality and a really good “grown-up auditing” set of cookware. This isn’t you’re cheap Teflon $30 pack from the Arkansas superstore, you need to read a little bit about how to use them, but it’s not rocket science. I did crust one up pretty good but I soaked it in hot water for 20 minutes, a little bit of barkeepers’s friend and a scrub daddy and the thing was squeaky-clean and shiny in less than a minute with very little elbow grease. If you’re in the market to switch to stainless steel this is a great set.

I chose this set mostly because of the reviews and from looking at what All-Clad's product/price was compared to Cuisinart's. There is no way I could be any happier with a stainless steel set of cookware! The product is hefty without being heavyweight, balanced in hand, heats very quickly, uses less than half of heat setting to what I use on cast iron or all aluminum. 1. Used the 2 quart pan and steamer to do green beans. Brought the water to boil on 6, (you could do this on 4 if you give it another minute or so) added beans, reduced heat to 1 for 20 minutes...perfect! Clean up...there was a little cloudiness in the steamer, used vingar and it cleared right up, the pot had the slight water mark, I used vingar but it did not clear up, used Cerama Bryte (my stovetop cleaner) and it removed it wonderfully. 2. Used the 10 in fry pan to sautee onions. I used 3 T of olive oil and let heat on #4 for couple of minutes until I could see the oil movement, added onions. Reduced heat to 3 to cook. There was residue stuck to pan but instant removal with soap and water! No cloudness in pan. 3.In 1 1/2 quart pan boiled potatotes. Cooked on 1 again after using 4 to bring to boil.The usual ring around the pan and cloudness in pan. Washed with soap and water then used Cerama Bryte to remove water ring and haze. Barkeepers or vingar both left some ring residue. The Cerama Bryte will remove....you can see the sliver haze on the paper towel when you use the CB. CB works great on the ceramic stovetop when foam won't remove as long as the spot is not deep burned, then I have to use Barkeeper's Friend and it does the job! 4. Used the small fry pan to scramble eggs. Used 2T corn oil on #4 when oil started to bubble poured in eggs, turned down heat to 3 and scrambled. Geeze I had to look to see if it was coated with telflon!! They did not stick and slide right out of the pan. I am using a new GE ceramic top stove to do this, so some burners on other models could not be as hot and need to be set on 4 or whatever to do actual cooking. Main thing is HEAT THE PAN before you put the food in to cook. Do not over heat either or it will grab spots and stick. I did read not to heat to hot or pan could warp. Also do not heat pan very long while empty. 5.Used the deep fry pan to cook smothered steak...yum!! Again brought heat up to #6 with 1/4 cup of oil. Rolled steak in flour and seasoned, placed in pan and reduced heat to 3 or 4 and browned side well then flipped over using silicone spatula and did same to other side, be sure it's well browned before trying to flip or coating will stick to pan, now add 2 cups or more of water and let simmer with lid on at lowest setting (just so there is a slight boil) and cook for an hour or until tender. Add more water as needed and thicken if desired with flour in water, then add to pan. Pour over hot Pillsbury biscuits (frozen kind) and chow down. Clean up was a breeze again. Soap and water and for some reason no cloudness.....maybe because the heat was turned down low and stayed low!? Do not use metal utensils unless you don't mind scratches. Note: I do the All American Cooking so these have and will get a work out!! AND to think I HATED stainless steel all these years! I always cooked on a coil stove and everything stuck tight! I spent some time reading reviews on how ever one was cooking so knew what to do and it worked! Can only say buy these if you want a great set of cookware and a price that is great. All-Clad is just unreal on their prices (not knocking their product just if you have more money than you know what to do with buy) and the reviews are no better than for this set and this product is made the SAME as the high price All-Clad....and these are all clad (meaning they have the aluminum core on bottom and sides. Just be sure to check the weight of the set you are buying, that will let you know what quality you are getting. These are 21.7 lbs, with the shipping weight being 28.2 lbs. Weights on the box! Amazon also listed the weights. Received in good packing condition and fast shipping service. Love Amazon!

As expected, the item arrived as posted

Hermosos, excelentes en todos los aspectos

Firstly, I’ve given this cookware set a 5 out of 5 based on ‘best value’ not ‘best quality’. Secondly, I place considerably more trust in reviews from America's Test Kitchen (ATK) / CenturyLife.Org than most user reviews. Similarly, I expect readers of this review to treat it on a ‘for information only’ basis. In a nut-shell the Cuisinart MCP-12N Multiclad Pro Stainless Steel 12 x piece cookware set is a Chinese made equivalent of the USA made 3D All-Clad range. A great comparison review was written by CentryLife. The only addition I can make to their review is that the sides of the Cuisinart fry pans/skillets are noticeably steeper than that or the All-Clad, as seen in the picture (All-Clad 3D left / Cuisinart right). As noted in the ATK review of 12” skillets, these steeper sides may be detrimental under some circumstances. These two fry pans are comparable in almost every other respect, aside from cost. The Cuisinart Multiclad Pro saucepans do show watermarks more than the All-Clad, these can be removed with Barkeepers Friend. The entire 12 x piece Cuisinart MCP-12N set was only $20 more than my 1 x Demeyere Proline Frying Pan, so my expectations are adjusted accordingly. I believe the performance gap between Demeyere and All-Clad is significantly more than the gap between All-Clad and Cuisinart. High quality workhorse skillets can be purchased at a later date, if required. The Cuisinart set is worth it for the saucepans and stockpot alone, the skillets are an entry point bonus.

The Cuisinart MCP-12N Multiclad Pro cookware set was carefully packaged and delivered quickly. The pots and pans feel heavy and sturdy, indicating great quality. I haven’t used them yet, but my first impression is very positive. Thanks to the seller for the careful shipping!

Funciona muy bien, la gente que se queja porque se pegan las cosas, es porque no lo sabe usar, debe ser a fuego medio y siempre usar aceite ya que no son de teflon. Me gusta que el fondo está integrado en una sola pieza lo cual lo hace duradero las tapas también son de acero. Si lo recomiendo.
