@Wizrd I just checked the online site and it does say this meaning it’s probably OK. It looks like a light-duty set but pretty good for the price; if I needed more cookware (which I don’t, because I’ve been buying a lot lately) this would be a good buy.
FOR USE ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS
Please consult your induction stovetop manual for information on use. Please always center the cooking vessel on the burner for optimal
performance.
@hchavers I was going to say, I volunteer as tribute. But I forgot the landlord is upgrading my kitchen right now. Ripped out the old electric stove b/c it was a pos put in a gas cooktop and said the oven will be in a couple months. She also gave me a really big toaster oven to use in the mean time. (i’m that boomer that gives you their life story when you ask how they are doing)
@hchavers@jcarb94@Kyeh I dunno, not only might the “natural gas”/methane bill be passed on, the cheap and dirty “landlord specials” these days are all methane too, with a strong planned obsolescence effect on both the appliances and the infrastructure since people expect methane to be phased out within a decade or two.
When I analyzed what should get installed into tenants’ kitchens, the cost-agnostic “doing it right” option meant a nice electric stovetop with a convection oven, along with whatever electrical work is required to upgrade circuits (which is something that should be getting done anyways for EV charging, heat pumps, etc.).
By contrast, the cheapest short-term option for the landlord (e.g. a “landlord special”) was a gas range. Indeed, such would often be purchased for properties planned to be torn down in a few years for redevelopment. It’s bad for tenants in two ways: (1) it emits unhealthy indoor pollution, especially for children, and (2) when passed onto the tenant, it’s likely to become increasingly expensive as distribution infrastructure ages (higher costs spread across fewer customers) and pollution taxes come into play.
So I don’t interpret buying a gas range for a tenant as a “nice” thing. I’d only wish them on my enemies.

I’ve had a (natural) gas stove for decades and I much prefer it to electric; no kids in the house so I’ll take my chances; I think the bad effects are more common for people who cook at restaurants using high gas flames for stir-frying and such. I’ve never heard of indoor methane stoves.
@hchavers@jcarb94@Kyeh@Lynnerizer Sorry to inform you that “natural gas” is just the sales term for methane - with some additives and impurities, I guess.
Your incorrect about it being occupational. There are many reliable sources on the health effects; “natural gas” stoves are to blame for the development of thousands of childhood asthma cases, and their effect on indoor air is easily verified for yourself with some investment into it.
This is a good set! Do yourself a favor and buy this if you don’t already have decent cookware. You’ll appreciate using it for decades into the future.
Bought a very similar set (Cuisinart SmartNest) a few months back to replace some aging nonstick cookware. Echoing what everyone else is saying - high quality, no more danger of the coating flaking off, and definitely a learning curve with the stainless steel. Barkeepers Friend is your friend to clean these. Would strongly recommend if you’re on the fence.
What I want to buy (at the same price) is the person who will use these these pots and pans to cook for me as I hate to cook (which is also likely why my original Faberware pots and pans are in good shape).
Cuisinart is decent stuff, certainly at this price point. I replaced most with anodized All-Clad… but I’ve now fallen in love with Woll and Hexclad.
This is important because the other half of this house demands that pots and pans look new after every meal. There is no carbon build-up allowed on anything to make steel pans ‘nonstick’. For years the Revere-ware was finished with Barkeeper’s Friend to make it pretty.
The Woll especially is ‘Nonstick’ but allows for metal utensils and is worth the expense. The Hexclad, I’m still not convinced but love the stippled texture of the pan when washing it.
But again… if this is your budget for cookware… it’s a great deal and you should jump on it.
I was about to purchase the Cuisinart 11-Piece Chef’s Classic Pro Stainless Cookware, but checked first to see if this was stainless steel. It’s not. It’s aluminum. Only the handles are stainless steel. You’re selling Model: 76I-11, which is aluminum. The Cuisinart 11-Piece Cookware Set, Chef’s Classic Stainless Steel Collection Model: 77-11G, is shown on Amazon.com. This one is stainless steel.

I wonder if the help would like a new set.
Hopefully these won’t be panned in the reviews.

First time in a while there has been cookware here that works on Induction too.
@pmarin Well technically it says it is “Safe for induction” not that it works with induction. /S

@pmarin @Wizrd I suppose if it doesn’t get hot on induction, it will be really safe.
Who’s gonna be the first person to put these in the oven and burn their hands on the always cool helper handles?

@AySz88 @hchavers @jcarb94 @Kyeh
Say what…?
@hchavers @jcarb94 dear boomer - please keep telling your stories. when you’re long gone your stories will live on to point the way.
@hchavers I’m not worried… I have a Thanos oven mitt from Lootbox I got years ago… and I’m wanting to try it out.
@hchavers @jcarb94 @Kyeh @Lynnerizer
Okay now that I’ve had my coffee…

Have a similar set. Bought them over 10 years back. They’re great - can’t go wrong with steel!

I noticed the Amazon link was for the Cuisinart 77-11G instead of the 76I-11 that is being sold here, so I went to the Cuisinart website and found the 77-11G which also has very decent reviews: https://www.cuisinart.com/shopping/cookware/cookware-sets/77-11g/
We have had this set for years. It’s great.

I just wanted to say, that Georgia Red comment in the description slayed it.
