Based on my experience I would not recommend. Sadly the joy did not last. The inside chamber, around the edge, the material is wearing off. I cleaned it several times thinking it was just coffee grains stuck but it kept getting worse. Also, the knob, I did not find anywhere in the product specifications whether it was plastic or glass, however it’s clear coating has become opaque. I also tried to clean it off with soap and twisting in a paper towel to the chamber, even tried baking soda and vinegar, after several attempts it is still Burt opaque.
I’m in the middle of a new recipe which suggest you brown the chicken, add additional ingredients, then add the pan to the oven to continue cooking. I wasn’t sure if this pan could be added to the oven, but remembered I bought it through cuisinartoutlets.com, so I headed over to look up the old order, then check the description. That’s when I saw I purchased this last September. It’s already been a year? I’ve been using this probably 4 to 5 times a week for an entire year and it’s still just like new! Look at that surface! I’ve never had a non-stick pan last this long before, especially one I wash in the dishwasher! And yes, it is oven safe. If I have the same good fortune with this new recipe, dear husband will be a happy boy tonight ;-)
The paint on these bowls is flaking off with very little use. I thought at first it was my mistake for putting one of them in the dishwasher so I didn’t do that to the other two at all. All of the bowls are suffering paint flake. I can literally scape off the paint with my thumbnail. I thought with a name like Cuisinart the quality would be at least decent. This is unacceptable for a food service bowl to have paint chopping off with less than two months of service. For reference: the large bowl was only washed once in a dishwasher and the other two bowls have only been hand washed.
I was super excited to see sponges made from silicone. I’ve used them for a while now and I can say they feel nice but they leave my dishes with food still on them. It is good for frying pans and other baking dishes that need a soft sponge but if you have used a bowl for bread or other dough, this sponge will not clean thoroughly.
Cooking wise this casserole is just fine. It browns and braises as it should. It's serviceable bargain alternative to the higher priced brands. The matte finish stained on the first use and I can't get it clean. The cover finish also chipped in three places on its first use. My opinion is that there is a durability problem with the finish, as many reviewers have stated. It has a distressed, vintage look. All in all, I'd pick a plain cast iron dutch oven over this one, or spend the money on a Staub or Le Creuset with a glossy finish.
I bought this product based on the serious eats review of stock pots. I thought I would be buying it for life and it would be worth the investment. It is an excellent stock pot. The thick bottom lets you develop a nice fond without burning food. The wide handles are nice too. However the bottom quickly developed tiny pock marks. I was concerned but figured it was a minor aesthetic detail. However now the pock marks are beginning to rust. It’s barely two months old. I cook carefully with it on induction. Maybe it’s a manufacturers defect and not typical?
My husband bought me a caraway set, I love them but they so heavy and it came with only one sauce pan. This set, multiple sauce pans and a bigger fry pan! Plus, the non scratch surface is better, like, I didn't even have to add butter to caramelize onion! Love them and wish I would've bought sooner! Oh yea, the utensils that come with it are fantastic, better than any silicone ones I've bought in the past. I'll have to look and see if I can order those alone!
After reordering I got the unit I really needed. Hint if you need a replacement , order from the number on the cutter and not from the model number of the chopper unit. The number is on the top flat edge of the blade housing. (See pic, if I can load it) after returning the 1st part I found this number on the blade and received this unit. I have had this chopper for a long time , over 4 years, the old blade housing cracked and although it still worked I felt it best to replace. I’ll also say I was really Surprised how muncher sharper the new blade is, I know that’s to be expected , but it also showed how dull the old blade is. I’ll replace this one sooner. Good buy I recommend , a bit expensive .
Good quality product at a good price. Perfect for drying hair quickly without damaging. Easy to use and the diffuser helps not make my hair all messy
Broken cornor....no pieces within packing material
It's a good product, which saves space, but I don't know if it's firm or not. I give it 4 stars because it's just installed. When I move in, how about trying to bear the load? Update again! If there is no problem with the load, it is worth 5 stars!
The design is ok just like others. However, I was totally disappointed with the performance. It doesn’t cook evenly on both sides. The bottom side (after turned) cook worse than the top side. You will end up with 1 crispy side and 1 soggy side. See my pictures below. I bought it in Costco and will return it. I’ll look for another one.
Out with my three year old Rachel Ray pan, and in with this sexy beauty. Bought at steep discount because of tiny scratch on rim at top of pic. Someone elses pickiness is my gain, and Im grateful to cuisinartoutlets.com as well...
The knives are really good.. Color print makes them attractive..
This device is dangerous! It exploded on me, scalding my hands. Had my face been closer, or my long-sleeved hoodie not been on, I would have been severely burned. The safety increases if small children were close by. The design is flawed as well. Recall this unit, redesigned it, or eliminate it from your line.
