Questions & Answers
I needed a 3 quart pot to replace a worn out Revere Ware pot, so I purchased one. This is the most frequently used size for me. It's ideal for boiling potatoes because I can fit at least 2 to 3 pounds in it. I've used it to make small batches of chili and spaghetti sauce as well. The following items are on my shopping list: 4 qt, 4 qt, 4 qt, 4 qt, 4 qt, 4 qt, , 2 qt. 1 1/2 gallon, 1 1/2 gallon, 1 1/2 gallon, 1 1/2 gallon, 1 1/2 gall I'm just throwing it out there in case anyone wants to help me finish my wish list! ) In all seriousness, it's a fantastic pot that I'll keep (and use on a regular basis) for many years.
Whether the pan's contents are simmering or rapidly boiling, the handle remains cool. For balance, the handle is of a good proportional length. The weight of the pan and its contents is the more important consideration - It is not recommended for people who have wrist problems because it is quite heavy to handle one-handed. handed. I like how evenly this pan cooks (it's now my go-to fudge pan), but it would be much better if it weren't so heavy.
These pans were compared to those made by All Clad. I read a lot of chef reviews, and the majority of them said the Cuisinart pans were just as good as, if not better than, the All Clad pans.

clad. This 4qt gem is characterized by its excellent utility. When awarding the Tramontina pan the best bang for the buck, ATK did not test this pan. The "Chef Classic" was used by ATK, but it is not a full triathlon. The pan is clad, but it only has a layered base. I ordered both this and the Tramontina pans to compare to the All-Clad All-Clad All-Clad All-Clad All-Clad All-Cla I already have the Clad. br>br>I chose the Cuisinart for a variety of reasons. br>br>It's a lot nicer than the All-Stars version. Clad or Tramontinabr>The handle isn't as large and "clumsy" as the Tramontina,br>but the All-Inclusive is. The Clad pan has a tapered thin handle that makes controlling heavy ingredients much more difficult than the Cuisinart. br>While the Cuisinart has a pouring lip, the All-Clad pan does not. Clad is not one of them. The All-Star's lack of a lip distinguishes it from the competition. Clad is a sloppy annoyance that is nearly useless in a busy kitchen. br>The Tramontina lip is huge and ridiculous looking, but it does not seal better or serve any other functional purpose. br>The Cuisinarts' corners are just as easy to reach with a whisk as my All-Clad. Clad. This was one of ATK's test criteria. br>I already own an entire set of Cuisinart Chef Classic pans, so the lids are all interchangeable. br>I've had my Chef Classic pans since before Cuisinart began producing Multiclad pans. Apart from the sides becoming extremely hot, similar to a commercial black steel pan, which can scorch cream-based products, based ingredients if you don't know what you're doing (as suggested by ATK) I've had no complaints. br>The Cuisinart performs EXACTLY AS WELL AS THE ALL-IN-ONE. clad, and it is less expensive than the other two pans. br>br>The Tramontina gets one point. It has a helper handle that made emptying the contents of the pans into a colander or down the drain a breeze. In these situations, I found that an oven glove or pot holder worked well with all pans, as even the helper handle on a gas stove became very hot. br>br>Final note: Is there anyone out there who wants to buy my used All-Star? I need clad pans so I can go out and buy the entire Cuisinart Multiclad Pro set. and still be able to afford a new dishwasher?.
They have a concave shape and a downward bow. When it comes to glass top stoves, only the outermost edges make contact. I got back to you right away.
UPDATE. AFTER SIX MONTHS OF USE, IT HAS BEEN PITTED. So far, I'm a big fan of this pot. Beautiful construction, even heat distribution, and a good size; cleans up easily, even crusty remnants come off easily. Excellent value for money and excellent quality. Full Clad aluminum cookware is my favorite, and it's half the price of the more expensive All Clad cookware. br>NOTE: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED. 04/10/19. I've had this pot for about 6 months and only recently noticed that the inside bottom has pitted! After spending more than $50, I was extremely dissatisfied. I'd rather spend more money on AllClad because I know they'll last a lifetime. The rating has been reduced to two stars.
I purchased the 4-pack. I needed a larger-capacity saucepot, so I got a quart saucepot. than- I didn't want to use a full stockpot so I used a standard saucepot instead. br>br>The pot itself is quite nice, heating up quickly and evenly. br>br>However, because of its size, it is a little heavier than a standard saucepot, especially when filled with water. Two pounds are added to your weight by that extra quart of water. There is no helper grip on the opposite side of the handle. It takes two hands to pick up the entire pot, and the existing handle is a bit narrow. br>br>However, because leverage exists, gripping the handle very close to the pot makes it easier to lift and maneuver the pot. Although the manufacturer claims that this handle does not distribute heat, the handle's base is right next to the stovetop. The handle's base gets quite warm! To grip it, you'll need to use a potholder. If you want to lift the pot and pour it out, you'll need two hands in potholders (or one hand in potholder and the other hand on the first hand). br>br>All right, let's get started. Grips near the pot with two hands if you have a chunky potholder. This isn't at all comfortable. All it needs is a grip loop on the opposite side of the handle, and possibly a heat-resistant handle. resistant in close proximity to the pot This pot would be significantly improved if the design was adjusted to account for this. br>br>I'm keeping it because it's the only 4-star restaurant in the area. There's a quart saucepot on the market that doesn't cost a fortune and doesn't have a terrible lid (this one's lid is light, but at least it's not glass!). However, this is a clumsy pot if you aren't very strong.
new pots! I had used Farberware for 20 years, but after reading their reviews, I was concerned that "they just didn't make 'em like they used to," so I looked into Cuisinart, knowing the brand was reputable, and I'm glad I did. The 2 quart, 4 quart, and 6 quart pots were purchased by me. My previous set consisted of 1, 2, and 3, as well as a 6-quart soup and stew pot. I was worried that the 4 quart would be too large, but it turns out that I can now boil potatoes without them boiling over. I was also concerned that the handle on the lid would become hot, but it does not. I am overjoyed!.
It's been five years, and it's still going strong! A true find for any home cook, and I believe a professional would appreciate its versatility and durability. For more information, see OldProChef's excellent review. br>br>I've abused this pan to the point where I've accidentally left it on a hot coil burner (both empty and full) too many times to count. What can I say, I'm the mom of a rambunctious toddler! But (with a little Bar Keepers Friend), this pan always cleans up nicely. I just soaked it today, and it gleams almost as brightly as it did when I first took it out of the package. It does have some minor nicks and scratches from my husband and I using metal utensils on it (as I previously stated, we're tough on cookware in this house) as well as a so-called "crack" in the middle. Scratch-free scrub pad (or Lodge plastic scrapers, which we use to clean cookware) But, despite its appearance, it's in good working order and cooks up a treat! br>br>I'm thinking about getting a smaller one (2 qt?). ) and perhaps a third (bigger? ) size if the need arose, but we're attempting to live a minimalist lifestyle, so I doubt we'd have more than two. But they're so good that I can see why you'd want to! I'm also taking a look at the steamer insert to see if it'll fit in this pan. We currently use a stainless steel colander/strainer, but I'd like to figure out how much more vegetables the steamer could hold. Again, it's a unitasker, but it's such a nice-looking one that would go well with the pan that I might not mind.
