I'm a fan of multiclad cookware, the kind that takes heat conductive aluminum and surrounds it with easy to maintain stainless steel. Professional cooks swear by it, but I'm just a home cook, and didn't even know about until a few years ago while watching America's Test Kitchen. This popular PBS series tests kitchenware, and reports their recommendations via their TV show, as well as 2 different magazines they publish. All-Clad cookware has always ranked up there as the best, but at a high price!
Fortunately for us middle class working stiffs, other cookware manufactures have picked up on the multiclad concept and have been producing their own versions. Enter Cuisinart's MultiClad Pro line.
This particular item takes all the benefits of multiclad and gives us a reasonably priced alternative. Compared to the All Clad Stainless Steel 9-Piece Cookware Set at a price tag of over $650, you are getting a real bargain here.
This cookware is beautiful, with stunning luster, and solidly constructed. It goes from oven to table with no problems, and looks stunning. The lids fit nicely, and the curved lip allows for pouring that resists clinging to the side of the pot. They are very very easy to maintain. Personally, I hand wash all my high end cookware, so I cannot comment on whether it's dishwasher safe. If you do hand wash (and you should....just sayin'), use Bar Keepers Friend® Cleanser & Polish: 12 OZ and a non abrasive sponge to keep that amazing shine. Looks great hanging from the pot rack!
I give the product 5 stars, for it's durability, construction, looks, and ease of cleaning. I love this Cuisinart Line and highly recommend it.

I don't see the spotting that others have reported. A bit of white lime but that is not the fault of the cookware. Noticed that these are bit more expensive than other sets. Perhaps they are of a better quality. So far I'm very happy with them.Best Deals for Cuisinart MCP-7N MultiClad Pro Stainless-Steel Cookware 7-Piece
I was worried about sticking and the bottoms turning yucky. All of the teflon pans I have have darker stained bottoms but these pans after a few months of use still look brand new. I have had a few things stick but after soaking for 5 minutes with a cap full of vinegar it comes right off. I wish I had made the switch years ago!Honest reviews on Cuisinart MCP-7N MultiClad Pro Stainless-Steel Cookware 7-Piece

This is nicer than what I used cooking in a restaurant kitchen, at a reasonable price. This set still looks almost new after after several years, and I expect it to last the rest of my lifetime. The secret is that I use Barkeep's Friend to polish off burned-on crap every few months, to keep that nearly-new look. Try that with nonstick cookware, I dare you!Heat: these heat fast and evenly. They're not as thick as All Clad, but I like this because it makes them more responsive to heat.
Durability: this things are built to last, they take a beating and keep on going. I've even used one to hammer nails, in a pinch!
Finish: personally, I like the brushed exterior/mirrored interrior, but I will note that the mirror finish will become scratched up as you use and scrub it. However, it still makes the pan clean easily; not as easy as nonstick, but close. The finish has not showed any signs of discoloration or rusting yet. As with all stainless cookware, it will need periodic polishing.
Features: flared lip makes it easy to pour from pots, handles and balance are just about right. My only complaint is the steel lids: the handles are not *quite* tall enough to keep fingers off the hot surface, and I prefer tempered glass lids, so I can see the insides. But I'm still pretty happy with this overall.
Overall: *VERY* happy with my MultiClad Pro cookware. The 7 piece set has exactly the pieces & sizes I use and nothing I don't. Tip: use can use the bottom of the stockpot in place of a deep skillet, for satueeing. Combine this set with this nonstick frying pan, and you have all the cookware you need: http://smile.amazon.com/Bakers-Chefs-Nonstick-Restaurant-Fry/dp/B0024NOY3U/ref=pd_sim_sbs_k_1
