I don't know why there are reviews showing sets without riveted handles but I received the set I purchased. The MCP-12N 12 Piece set by Cuisinart, the handles are riveted onto all of the pots, pans, and lids. I will updated this review after more use but so far so good. The quality is great, the pots and pans seem to be made very well. I used the saute pan to cook green beans in oil with shaved almonds and the 3 Qt saucepan to cook mac-n-cheese for our dinner the day that I received the set. Both worked great and were very easy to clean. I will say that this would be a 5 start review if cuisinartoutlets.com had placed the OEM packaging into another box for shipping. The product box was damaged and I am surprised that the bottom didn't give out as it had started to come undone. Nothing seemed damaged but I can see how others are receiving sets that are damaged. If I didn't have as hidden a front stoop as I do this set could have easily been stolen due to it being shipped in the OEM packaging. I don't see the cost of a box and a few airpacks to keep the inner box from shifting being more expensive than having to replace a damaged or stolen 12 piece set.
Worked great for 4 months. Always hand washed, never put in dishwasher. Started to stain after 4 months. Nonstick stopped after 6 months. Tried everything from lemon juice to baking soda with vinegar to Bar Keeper’s helper (which did help a little, but barely). Nothing worked. Will not buy again.
I like nothing about it after the space set fell apart
La verdad los cuchillos son muy buenos 5 estrellas para ellos. Sin embargo la primera vez que los recibí tuve que devolverlos porque recibí dos cuchillos iguales como se muestra en la foto, para la segunda ocasión los cuchillos llegaron bien pero no me gusto que cuisinartoutlets.com no resguardara el producto en una caja adicional conservando así la privacidad. Todo el mundo podía saber que eran unos cuchillos así que 1 estrella en servicio de empaquetado. Se supone que debe estar resguardado.
I want to start this review by stating that I haven’t used a drip coffee maker in years. I am what people describe as a “coffee snob.” I grew up drinking the traditional Mr. Coffee-style drip brew that my parents were happy with and wasn’t happy with the plastic taste and lack of flavor that came with each cup, even though they always bought the “really nice” models. I can’t stand drinking coffee from restaurants or even mainstream coffee shops, as they still lack the flavor and taste that I want with my coffee. I’m also less than impressed with Keurig coffee and other single-serve brewing systems. For years, as a result of these tastes, I initially made pour-over coffee, then transitioned to the French press method as the best, richest, and full-bodied coffee that I’ve ever had, and I only use certain brands/types of coffee. It’s one of the few things I splurge on. Then I bought a house with a septic and no garbage disposal. And my coffee grounds became a Big Problem with my husband due to concerns about clogging the system – which is valid – not to mention that now we have room for guests, running out to Dunkin Donuts to get a box of coffee for them has become inconvenient, since people don’t want to wait 15 minutes for me to slowly brew them cups of coffee. All things considered, I decided I had to finally bite the bullet and procure an automatic coffee maker. I did a lot of research on the SCAA approved coffee makers since I didn’t want to compromise my taste. After reading about how the heart-attack-inducingly-expensive Technivorm requires “stirring the grinds” in order for even water dispersal (I mean, who wants to babysit the coffee if you’re getting an automatic machine? For me that totally defeats the point), I turned my attention to the second best recommended coffee maker that was far more affordable, the Bonavita. I saved up and purchased one only to find that it felt flimsy and the carafe leaked buckets, retaining liquid inside the upper lid, no matter what I did. Back to the drawing board. I looked at all of the other SCAA certified coffee makers and kept coming back to this Cuisinart PurePrecision Pour Over brewer. It looked very new, was a fairly reasonable price, and the top reviewer notes that he has compared it to the other certified coffee makers and prefers it, which gave me some reassurance. I had a bit of trepidation since there wasn’t a lot of feedback or reviews online since this model is so relatively new, but decided I would give it a shot. The design is very sleek. It looks great in our kitchen – my husband, who doesn’t drink coffee, even commented that it has become a statement piece on our counter. (Photo attached; glass foggy as it was just cleaned with hot water.) The coffee maker looks and feels sturdy, with an impressive display and simple controls that make programming it easy. You set the auto-on time and can also set an auto-off time for the heating pad beneath the glass carafe. I found it interesting that the device comes with a charcoal filter designed to improve the water’s taste should the owner not utilize a water filter on their own. As I use ZeroWater filter pitchers, I probably will not replace the filter when the time comes as I consider it unnecessary. Since other reviewers noted that the steel carafe has leaking issues, as well as the Bonavita I had tried, I chose the glass carafe. I don’t care about heat retention because I pour my coffee immediately into my Zojirushi thermos and go to work in the morning, which keeps the coffee piping hot. What matters to me is whether or not the carafe leaks when I pour from it. And this one does not. If heat retention is a concern, increasing the amount of time prior to the auto-off is probably good idea. I can say that the coffee brewed by this machine is as hot as when I boil water to French press, and I’ve been satisfied by the temperature. As I am the sole coffee drinker in my household, I make about 4 cups and use 2 scoops of coffee per cup. While this is below the recommended flavor amount for the machine (Cuisinart recommends making at least 6 cups for best flavor), I still thoroughly enjoy the coffee made. It is strong and full-bodied, rich. I have used up to coarse coffee and have no problems with it. The one thing I will note - there is almost an imperceptible burr to the flavor of the coffee with this coffee maker that is not there, is smoother, when it is prepared with the French press method, but it is so negligible a difference that it can be overlooked in favor of the time savings and ease of clean-up that comes with this machine. In conclusion, I highly recommend this coffee maker. It produces the best coffee that I have ever tasted from an automatic/drip machine and I am happy with my purchase. I am awarding this product 5 stars and, in my opinion, it is deserving of its SCAA certification. If something should happen or my satisfaction changes, I will update this review. ::UPDATE MARCH 2018:: This coffee maker still works like it is brand new. I'm still very impressed with it and still love it. I have experienced no issues with water fog or the display dimming, and I periodically clean it out by doing a vinegar/water flush until the water runs clear. I use it every day and have no regrets about my purchase. And, since apparently there is someone on this site attempting to cast doubt on this review and that of the other top reviewer, I can affirm here that I was not given a discount on this product, I was not paid to do this review, I was not asked by the company to do a review, and I have not received any subsequent discounts or perks from doing this review. I am simply a lover of coffee.
The product itself is fine, however 2 of them were leaking/open. I'd assume it happened while getting banged around in transit? Since there's no way to be sure, I had to toss them. The other 2 were perfect, and tasted normal 😋
This is our second percolator cover to break in less than one year. The plastic knob at the top is fragile and breaks at the base. The cover is half the cost of the percolator and will fail. Poor design, poor quality cover.
Cuisinart is frankly the only waffle maker that has ever worked perfectly for my cornmeal yeasted waffles! You have to have a heat setting! Most waffle makers just steam your waffles, these are crispy perfection!
This is a good replacement for my broken carafe. I believe it is better than the original. Pourability was good , and did not leak. It fit perfect .
This is probably the best non-stick pan you can get at this price point—especially from a trusted brand like Cuisinart. It’s super lightweight, making it easy on the hands, and the build quality is excellent. The size is just right for everyday cooking—perfect for sautéing, deep frying, or boiling. It heats up quickly and distributes heat evenly, which means faster, more consistent cooking without hot spots. Food cooks thoroughly and efficiently every time. It’s also very easy to clean, and dishwasher safe, which adds to the convenience. I always keep an extra one on hand as a backup because I love it that much. For the quality, price, and performance, you can’t go wrong with this pan!
These 'funnels' essentially allow you to fill the espresso water tank (or any other coffee maker for that matter) without having to move the machine or detach the water reservoir. Many of us have our espresso machines on a counter top tucked under a cabinet. That makes refilling the water reservoir a bit cumbersome. These funnels transport the filling location off to the side or front of the machine where it is more readily accessed. They work. My only problem with these particular ones is that they are made of rubber. I thought they were going to be hard plastic, which I would have liked better. But these things smell really strongly of new rubber, and I don't know how long that smell will last. But I am not going to use them on the espresso machine until that smell goes away. If it ever does.
Took a chance and purchased used. Obviously as the picture of the shows. Was a bit nervous opening. Once I did, inside was beautiful, like new! PRO'S: - The cord - It easily retracts into the base. - The lid - Unlike the Cuisinart Elemental, with the Core models the lid easily locks into place. The Elementals lid must have been designed by someone who never cooks because it’s unnecessarily complicated, serious pain to deal with! Returned that model. - Power - Bigger IS better. Watts DO matter. Tried a Kitchenaid, but the lame 250watts was pathetic. Started using this Cuisinart Core day 1 and it has a powerful motor (950w), love it. Has power needed for making ground beef, chopping nuts - zero issues! There's no dough blade included. But please see Pic, experts actually don't recommend them! 😉 Had an older Cuisinart for years and it was a true workhorse. Unfortunately that model is no longer made. This is the closest to it, with the added benefit of having additional accessories available. Thank you cuisinartoutlets.com for the great deal ($50 bucks)!!!
Got a set of your kitchen knives for Valentines Day, really nice and I liked them. Today I had placed one on kitchen counter. It fell to floor and broke? It wasn't thrown, I am 75 and my pitching arm is gone, just accidently knocked to floor. Very disappointed! Their Customer Service is impossible to reach,
Received this steamer in the beginning of the month and used it twice- this third time wasn’t the charm— it was a disaster. Completely melted. Had I known this, I would have purchased a glass or ceramic steamer. Just wasted my money!
I needed to upgrade my kitchen knives, and I am so glad I found these. I bought these about 11 months ago and they still look and feel like new, still very sharp. Each knife has a sturdy protective cover which is great for protecting your hands when rummaging around in your kitchen drawers. Knives are strong and do not bend when cutting through hard items like watermelon or winter squash. I would certainly buy again.
