Anyone out there know if there is a difference between this set and the Cuisinart 77-7 Chef's Classic Stainless 7-Piece Cookware Set?

I have the multi-clad set. I believe the difference is that the aluminum core extends up the sides of the pan with the multi-clad, whereas the chef's Classic has aluminum only on the bottom. Multi-clad pros: more even heating. Cons: higher price and heavy. Hope that 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 wondered about that myself and contacted Swissmar in NY. I asked if there was a product hierarchy and was told that there are no quality "basic vs. premium" differences. The differences are color (stainless, red, or black) size (4 or 8 trays), and whether the grill top is granite or stainless. Hope it helps.

Never heard of those brands. I chose Cuisinart because I've had 2 food processors that were good and I took a chance on their name. For the most part I'm happy with my choice, saucepans are good but everything sticks to the frying pans. Not sure if this is typical of SS. I had heard they weren't supposed to stick if heated enough but no matter what I try, everything sticks so I hardly use the frying pans. They are sturdy and heavy, though. Good luck.

Im sorry. Can't help you there. I have the regular set and love it. Some of the pans i have used for 15 years and some just the little over a year.

essentially the difference is both sets are stainless steel inside, but the less expensive one has a brushed aluminum surface. The more expensive one is stainless on the outside too.

I'm not really sure, but Quisinart mentions certain cookware sets as "Green Gourmet." When I bought the one I have I don't remember that phrase being used. It might be best to contact Cuisinart or research your question online.

I don't know the difference. However I ordred a similar set that was in stock and amazon canceled the order because it is not really available. Good luck

They are much heavier than your normal stainless. I had Farberware pots and there is a big difference but the cooking and clean up is much better.

Yes. But I wouldn't buy anything from Cuisinart - their stuff is way too high-priced & overrated!! This cookware sucks, and so does their warranty. Buy Calphalon

I actually own both models with lid and without. I have use both of them extensively and they are both perfect, they clean beautifully and stay shiny and new looking with an occasional scub with "Bar Keepers Friend" cleaner. Whom ever claimed that they had warping issues should seek replacement, I have a kitchen full of All Clad pots and pans and have never had a single issue. Hope his helps with your decision!ps: The difference between the one with lid is a different handle, otherwise the body is identical.

The "N" edition is the same cookware. The only difference I can see is the seller.

They fit both. You can use them interchangeably. This is an EXCELLENT set of cookware!

They are both 8 Qt, so one must have a heavier gauge stainless steel, or maybe it has the what is it called, no-scratch interior which may be a heavier pot. The one I bought had the black no scratch interior and is very heavy...I did not like it, but it was too much trouble to send it back. I prefer the stainless steel interior.

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.
