Cooks shopping for midweight stainless-steel cookware at a mid-range price may well have found their match with this cookware set from Cuisinart. The set comes equipped to handle the most common cooking tasks and includes an 8-quart covered stockpot, a 3-quart covered saucepan, a 1-1/2-quart covered saucepan, and a 10-inch skillet. As part of Cuisinart's Chef's Classic line of cookware, all pieces are made of 18/10 stainless steel that has been polished to a brilliant mirror finish and that won't react to acidic foods. An inner core of aluminum ensures that foods heat quickly and evenly. The stainless-steel handles on this cookware stay cool on the stovetop and the matching 18/10 mirror-polished stainless-steel lids have dripless rims. All cookware in Cuisinart's Chef's Classic line is oven-safe up to 550 degrees Fahrenheit and is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
