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.

Yes I did .... I purchased the Scanpan 6.5 stockpot a number of years ago. (This was shortly after I purchased a number of other Swiss Diamond cook pots ... I'll get back to that point before I finish.)The Sanpan stock I referred too showed sign of the interior finish peeling off after only several months use. That pot NEVER was washed in dishwasher, it was hand washed from day one.So yes I did call Scanpan customer service, (that was when they had a toll free number and you could speak to some one who spoke English fluently.FORGET Snapan!

I am definitely having an issue with the coating. I have submitted a question to Circulon for a replacement. My pans were bought Dec 2nd, 2013. The main problem i've had is with -- of all the pans -- the stockpot, which we use mostly for boiling things, sauces, soups. The coating seems to be coming off more and more, and it isn't inside the grooves, it is on top. We do use metal utensils, but you are supposed to be able to use that.. and it's not like we are frying in the pan (though, again, it says metal utensil safe). I'm wondering if we somehow got a bad batch, as so many people seem to say the coating stay. I am definitely having an issue with the coating.

I'm thinking about ordering this cookware. I read one review saying that it scratched the cooktop. Has anyone else had this happen?

I believe this model had a titanium lining on the inside of the pot. I would expect the harsh detergents in a dishwasher would cause this lining to wear and the performance of the pot would suffer. I always handwash all of my pot and pans actually.

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.

I have two of their pans and they work well (I use low to medium heat, let the pan air cool, rinse & wipe, no soap.) If you read the reviews, Cuisinart's "lifetime" warranty seems to expire between taking it out of the box and putting it on the burner. Frankly, it's a crapshoot. For $19 it's not worth the hassle dealing with a company with low ethical standards. Write a 1 star review AND complain to Amazon Customer Service. I'd also comment on YELP. Irresponsible companies need to be held to account!

I am used to these excellent pots since 30 years, while I lived in France. At the time they were very ordinary and cheap ones. Now they are expensive. French and Dutch oven seem to me marketing names for America, in France they are just Cocotte de chez le Creuset, see in Amazon.fr below, anyways the one that I bought as a present (my 30 year old one is still perfect) was much cheaper at Amazon than elsewhere. http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&url=search-alias%3Dkitchen&field-keywords=le%20creuset&sprefix=le+creuset%2Caps%2C291 .

Sorry to hear about that, R. But it could be okay still. My pot has discolored also, and has what looks like bubbles in the finish on the inside bottom. It hasn't effected performance or taste. I would just clean it out good and try it...I'm sure you have by now. Let us know how it went.

Sorry--I just saw this inquiry (was traveling abroad). I never used the product--returned it immediately upon inspecting saw how very shoddy construction was. I is supposed to be cast iron--dishwasher would cause it to rust. These products are found in Asian markets--considerably more $$ but heavy and has deeper drip pan to prevent flare ups. Save your $, this product is JUNK. I see it at thrift ($1 stores) for $5 to 6 dollars...

I am looking for a non-stick skillet in the 12-inch range. I am all for the Earth friendly options, but most importantly, it must sit flat on a glass top range. The skillet that I am retiring is a Cooks Tools from Belk. It has served admirably for three years, but now the non-stick is breaking down. At this point, it is worthless for frying eggs and it is only going to get worse. I am statisfied with the Cook's Tools from Belk, three years for a non-stick pan that gets used on a daily basis is very good, but Cook's Tool doesn't seem to have a comparable pan in their current lineup. Does anyone know of a largish skillet with a lid that won't worp? Basically, I need some thing with a thick multiclad bottom.

This is only a wild guess, but I imagine it's the labor that goes into the finish. I bought the less expensive for my husband last Christmas (he loves to cook) and have been very satisfied. We use Barkeeper's Friend to polish it up now and then and it looks great. He has a few pieces of the more expensive type, but other than a small difference in weight, I can't tell any difference in the cooking ability. If you are a real gourmet chef, you probably won't be happy with any but the most expensive cookware. However, if you are like most of us, the less expensive will serve you well for many years. :) This is only a wild guess, but I imagine it's the labor that goes into the finish.

I chose Cuisinart because the lids seem to seal better and I am more familiar with that brand name. In the reviews, a lot of people compared Cuisinart to the more expensive All Clad cookware.

It sounds like your pan warped in the middle like my old, less expensive one did. This is a much better quality than the others are. Weighs more and has a different interior surfacing. This one is FLAT and should stay that way, too.

I have some of my Farberware pots for over 50yrs. I still use them and the only time food burns is when I have the heating setting too high and I forget the pot on the stove! If you may do the same, in cleaning the pot,pour some white vinager and let it stand and the pot will look like new!! Just purchased a 3qt pot and love it!! Jeanne

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 picked this model specifically because it didn't have the Teflon coating. I wanted the ability to scrub aggressively if needed. (Burnt on cheese being the possibility) Past experience has taught me that even being gentle with Teflon it will flake. This may not be the right model, mine is #FPSTFN7710. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do!!
