Have any of you considered the multi-ply set from Cuisinart and Cooks Standard? If so, what made you choose Emeril? I'm having trouble deciding!

Preferred the glass lids and super-comfortable handles of the Emeril. Hubby and I are both control freaks who like to see the food cooking.Already owned one open-stock Emeril piece and one open-stock of the Cuisinart (which we just used tonight -- it's nice too).

The description, price and reviews. I compared many different brands before purchasing Emeril. I also went to BB&B; and took a look at them and settled on Emeril. I am very pleased and convinced that I made the right choice.

Check "Americas Test Kitchen" on YouTube and you will see why Emerils is the best buy.

I originally started my search after looking at the stainless cookware by Wolfgang Puck. However, after reading the reviews for "celebrity cookware" (not good), I considered Caphalon and Cuisinart. I have not heard of Tramotina. I made my decision based on cost and the online reviews. I am very pleased with my decision to go with Cooks Standard.

jorge did you buy chef secret 22 piece and you recieve a heavy gauge? i was going to buy nie but i want to make sure if i am getting the same or not. i saw a picture here saying 12 ply and surgical stainless steel so i assume that i am getting the same quality.

Calphalon has numerous quality sets priced at Good, Better, Best prices. I'm sure Costco is providing a very good set for a GREAT price. Try getting the model #'s to compare the specifics on the internet.

The main difference is that it is "multiclad" or "ply"which means its polished stainless steel with an aluminum core for the faster heating and even heat distribution. It's also heavy duty, thicker and stronger...most all of my cookware is clad stainless (All Clad & Cuisinart) Regular stainless does not have a core and will not have the same cooking advantages and may not last as long.

My first Cuisinart was a classic 7 cup - I had it for several years and gave it to a daughter when I later upgraded to a 11 cup model. It was nice, but really too large. My latest/current Cuisinart is a 7-cup and the size is perfect for me. I have several disks and use it all the time. However, if you like to create breads or pizza crusts I would say go for the 9-cup model, but for general home kitchen usage the 7 cup processor works best for me.

I think the answer you need to hear is YES. However, the heating mechanics involve a lot more than stainless vs copper. These will heat up and retain heat just as well as the Emeril copper pans (no appreciable difference). They can heat differently than the typical triple-clad or multi-ply copper pots and pans (and in my opinion, better--particularly with glass-top ranges)

Cooks Illustrated rated the Kitchen Aide higher.The word on the latest generation of Cuisinarts is NOT that great.You might also look into the French made Magimix. I've heard it is great but I've only seen it in catalogs & it looks like it has a rather LARGE footprint.

I'm not sure what this question is about. The Cuisinart MultiClad Pro line is VERY good quality, seems to be 18/10 quality, both in the weight and the quality of stainless steel. I have a whole line of the MultiClad Pro. The lesser-priced line below the MultiClad Pro isn't NEARLY the quality, Stay away from it. Marianne

The Price was my determining factor. Cuisinart is a good brand. The pans work very well on my flat top range, I am very pleased for most of my cooking. But...Frying eggs is a mess. Never had this problem with my ages old revere ware...but this set...no matter what the eggs stick in the fry pans.

I really depends on what you are cooking, or for how many, or do you freeze leftovers. I think the 6 quart isi the best for all three. I think this cuisinart size is best because of the options that it gives you. You can cook for one or a party.

I don't know if all of their cookware is three ply. Here's the link to the All-Clad website: http://www.all-clad.com/ I'm sure you'll find the answer there!

I have two of the Matfer Bourgeat Exoglass Pelton spatulas. I just read the reviews for the Mercer Cutlery Hell'e Tool Spatula. Although both look similar and have somewhat identical descriptions, the Matfer is very flexible and thin. You can pick up the most delicate cookie with it or slide it under a fried egg without breaking the yolk. I read a review that said the Mercer one was very stiff and rigid. Neither of my Matfer are stiff nor are they rigid. My guess would be that they are probably not the same but that is JMHO...and since there is such a price difference...my gut feeling is that the other might be a similar look but it will not be as thin or as flexible. Once again just my opinion. I love the Matfer; my first one is years old and it looks brand new. It is probably my favorite kitchen tool since it feels good in my hand and it always works for those delicate foods that need flipping or gently removing from a pan or tray. It is thin and flexible along the edges but it is also sturdy enough for flipping a burger. Hope this helps you decide!

Hello. If you can afford the 3, get it...if the other might be too small, why take a chance? You'll be able to use it more! By the way, ALL-CLAD "rocks"! You'll never be sorry for selecting that maker!!! Professional cook-ware!

In general Cuisinart triple-ply cookware is triple ply on bottom and sides. This provides better heating and cooking. Chef's classic is triple ply only on the bottom, the sides are only stainless. But in a steamer I don't think this matters as much as in a saucepan.

Gee, Terry, I really don't know where my documents related to the cookware set is...sorry. But, what I would do is go to the Cuisinart website to find out or Google it. I wish I could help you out. MK

I have not used the triple-ply but the Simply Calphalon I got for my daughter is great! It has the aluminum core which I like because it heats more evenly. She absolutely loves this set.
