Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart MCP-7 MultiClad Pro Stainless-Steel Cookware 7-Piece Cookware SetCustomer Review: Best cookware value I've found Summary: 5 Stars
Based on many favorable reviews all over the web, I took the plunge and purchased the 7-piece set of Cuisinart MultiClad Pro + 2 open stock casserole pans. Almost 30 years ago, my mother bought me a beautiful set of Belgique Gourmet cookware (made in Belgium). It's a great set, I'm still using it and it's still going strong, but the present-day Belgique cookware is not nearly the same quality as what I have. So why did I want to purchase another set of cookware? I have 3 daughters still living at home who will soon move out and need cookware. I'd like to pass the Belgique to one of them and have a new set for myself.
This set consists of the following:
1.5 Qt. saucepan with lid
3 Qt. saucepan with lid
8 Qt. stockpot with lid (NOT 6 Qt. as incorrectly stated by one reviewer)
10" skillet
I also considered other clad cookware brands, including All-Clad. Cuisinart MultiClad Pro seems to be the way to go. Although made in China, the Cuisinart MultiClad Pro appears to be very well made and it's doubtful to me that the Chinese can really mess up on this type of product... particularly for a big-name company like Cuisinart that has a reputation to uphold. Had the All-Clad not been so high-priced, I probably would have purchased it just to buy a "made in the USA" product. However, I'm not convinced that All-Clad is worth the price, and Cuisinart MultiClad Pro is much more afforable. For this reason, I decided to give Cuisinart a go. I can't wait to try the cookware and see how it compares to my beloved Belgique! I will update this review once I've actually used it.
Update: I'm very happy with this set. It's everything it's advertised to be; love the way it performs (my cooktop is gas) and how easy it is to keep clean. Also, it's attractive. I know this is a subjective personal preference, but isn't everything? IMHO, the All-Clad cookware is overpriced and not as attractive. For the $167.45 price I paid, I'm extremely happy!
Also, FWIW, I own other Cuisinart cookware and appliances, and they are all great. I have no reason to believe that this cookware set will not live up to the quality and performance I've come to expect from Cuisinart. I just ordered the 6-quart stock pot, which I found for under $65 with free shipping. With prices like this, I can't find any justification to buy All-Clad or any other similarly priced high-end cookware. I may be wrong (there's always that possibility), but I think this Cuisinart MultiClad Pro cookware is all I need. I'm not a professional chef or anything; just a wife and mom who loves to cook tasty meals from scratch.
