We purchased this set in December 2017 to replace a 17 year old set of non-stick cookware.  The appeal of this set was that it was stainless steel and PFAS free.  We have followed the manufacturer’s instructions for cooking by using medium heat and the set performs well.  However, when it comes time to clean them, it is very difficult to remove any food remnants left behind.  We have tried soaking them and using non-abrasive sponges and cloths as recommended by Cuisinart, but they do not do the job.  The only way to get them clean is with an SOS pad.  Even then, the pots and pans don’t look clean when they are actually clean.  Overall, I probably would get a different set next time.
