Very happy with our new cookware set, the nicest set we have ever owned. We recently put in a new ceramic cooktop, and decided we needed to also step up our pots and pans. Did quite a bit of research and the Cuisinart  Multiclad  was widely singled out for high performance at a great value. The learning curve for cooking with stainless has been relatively easy, just need to practice patience and remember that lower temperatures get the job done with this set. Cleanup has been easy and Barkeepers Friend has become just that, our friend. It is keeping the set looking  shiney new. Next purchase will be a rack to hang them on. They are too nice to hide in a cabinet, need to display all that beauty.
