Can you tell me more about this pan? I read that the less expensive line of Cuisinart pots (i.e. chef's classic) had a fairly sharp edge along the top rim of the pan...one that might eventually harm the vinyl racks in the dishwasher. Is this true with these pots? Hope an owner of these pots is reading this and can tell me. thanks Can you tell me more about this pan?

I have a Cuisinart Multiclad 6 quart pot, and it's edge is slightly flared--its not at a hard 90 degree edge like my All Clad pots. I haven't had a problem with the AC edges ruining my dishwasher racks, and I don't think the CCC would do so either. But its sort of moot with the CMC, isn't it?

Same here. I have most of the Multiclad line, including this pan and the edge is not sharp. Don't be afraid to buy it. It's worth it.

To BC & VP: The only stainless skillet I recently bought was the Cuisinart 722-36H Chef's Classic.. The whole trick to preventing food from sticking is not to have the pan too hot. Also - have a bottle of Bar Keepers Friend on hand for thorough cleaning. Really works. The pan will look like new. Good luck.

I have a ceramic topped stove and we just received this pan so I haven't used it. There are several warnings in the pamphlet included with the pan regarding ceramic topped stoves. It states that "overheating or allowing (porcelain enamel) to boil dry can make these pans fuse to the surface of the glass top ranges, requiring the replacement of the glass cook top". My husband says to "go for it", but I do worry about the heat required to stir fry. The pan rated highly, but I am a little worried.

The only thing I know is that according to the cuisinart website you cannot use metal utensils with the multi-clad pro line. Also the set comes with smaller size pans that aren't applicable to daily use for a family. The classic is supposed to be lighter in weight and supposedly doesn't conduct great as evenly. But I do not have personal experience with these pans to give you my opinion.

I have a ceramic cooktop and it didn't affect the cooktop. However, anything above medium heat did sage the pot. There is now fine cracking along the bottom edge, about an half inch above the bottom along the side. Not a huge visual blemish, but noticeable. I had contacted the manufacturer and asked if it would be safe and they said it would. I'm considering a return if the problem worsens at the next use. I will say they were very helpful the first contact and i don't anticipate problems. Might just be my unit? Hope this helps!

Sorry, I don't know. It doesn't say anywhere on any of the pots I've purchased in this set, I just looked. Might the info be available from Cuisinart or from a retailer? Good luck. I do really like this line of pots/pans. I have four sizes, use them daily, and would recommend them highly.

I don't find the bottom of this cookware sharp at all. It has a design but I wouldn't say it is sharp. I use it on my glass cook top and it has not harmed. I have used iron skillets on it also and it has not hurt it. I find the glass tops very durable and this cookware is very nice.

No, it is not. I made that mistake with my first piece. It won't hurt the actual cookware but the outside finish would be ruined. I'm still using the piece I washed, and other than not looking as good as the others, it works just fine. On the good side, these are the easiest pots and pans to clean. Even the most stuck on things easily come off. It has not been an inconvenience at all not being able to put them in the dishwasher.

I don't know how "new" you mean. I bought mine in March 2013 and it seems fine. Glass may inspire a user to be more delicate (as it should) than if you were using plastic or stainless steel. But my pot has been WONDERFUL. No aluminum and no BPA. How come it was so hard to find the only pot that meets those requirements. If you are wobbling check out your surface to see if it's level. Or try it in a different location.

this is a great pan. i have many pots & pans but i use this one the most. i use only a moderate flame under the pan on a gas stove. i find that i dont need to crank up the flame & they warn you not to. with or without the lid...it is a super pan.!! enjoythe pan comes with precise directions for how hot in the oven.if you go to the cuisinart site & look at the pan they give the all the info.

I got mine in 2011 and still about the same in 2015.It all depends on care and how you utilize the pot to cook. Higher temperatures are a no-no for this type of nonsticks. The same goes for the use of metal utensils. The other part of longevity goes to how you care for your pot when carrying out cleaning. What products and devices you employ to clean it have a great impact on the surfaces (inside and out).The one thing to always keep in mind, is never to use metal utensils! Never use abrasive devices to clean it. Be gentle with the pot, even as it looks sturdy and strong, it's also quite possible to dent it and damage it.

I would not purchase this pot, after one use the inside bottom pitted and it never made it to the dishwasher, I had to return it for a refund because they already replaced the first one because of pitting. Hope this help.

Thanks so much Silvergirl for the information on the drip pan. I bought one yesterday for $6.00 at a thrift store. It's a shame the drip pan along with shipping, will run me about $20.00 but from what I've read, it should be worth it.

I bought this pot as a replacement for one that I gave away from my original Farberware cook set that is over 25 years old...you can't kill it! The original was made in the USA and appears to be clad a little differently on the bottom than this one that is now made in China. The handles are of a different material although they can be used in the oven up to 350 degrees although I always cover the handles in foil. When I knock on the bottom of this pot, the sound is substantial. It doesn't have that tinny sound that cheap cookware has. While it may not be the finest cookware on the market, it is a very good pot that does not scorch. Imprinted on the bottom is Durable Stainless Steel, Impact Bonded. Also, I don't give it any special treatment. I just throw it in the dishwasher. Hope this helps.

Not sure what you mean about a "wrapped" handle. My oldest one has the gold handle. I doesn't look sloppily attached. On my newer one I opted for the plastic handle - not as attractive, but it doesn't get as hot and even though the gold is more beautiful, I was going for function over style. They both work great, but do yourself a favor and do not use the handle to unscrew the pot - it's not designed for that and will likely eventually break off. These are the best stainless stovetop pots I've been able to find and have been using them daily and exclusively for about seven years now. I've tried others over the years, but always return them and come back to the Vev. Not sure what you mean about a "wrapped" handle. My oldest one has the gold handle.

I just spoke with Cuisinart, and got some good info. First off, thank you, Swidgen, for noticing that the 10S comes with a flat lid whereas the 2007N doesn't - - Cuisinart confirmed this. (For those who don't know, the flat lid comes in handy when making things like hummus or pesto, that don't need the push-chute). Also, the additional weight of the 10S is due to a 600w motor, compared to a 500w motor in the 2007N. Knowing this, will get the 10S, especially since it will sit next to my white Vitamix, and they will make a perfect-looking pair. :-)
