After buying a set of these for my daughter, decided to purchase a set for myself. Now I'm wishing I had tried hers first. I hand wash all of my cookware, but after washing the lids of these pans, the water remains in the edges of the outer rim of the lids. Even after setting them on edge to drip dry, and hand drying them, the water is impossible to get out. A fair amount remains in the lid, and the only way to get the water out is to insert the edge of a paper towel repeatedly around the rim. And who wants to do that every time they wash the pans? The outside seems to stain easily, and the handles on the lids get hot, as there is no rubberized cushion on the handle that the higher end cookware offers. Wishing I had done a little more research...

The finish on the pots and pans does not last. Even if you follow the instructions, medium heat, hand wash, the exterior finish will turn chalky and eventually wear off to bare metal. Don't waste your money if you care what your cookware looks like.

I am still getting use to these pots and pans. I had my Farberware set for over 25 years. The Cuisinart set cooks evenly and quickly. Downside is lids and handles get hot so I always have to remember to use a hot pad.

Honest reviews on Cuisinart 64-13 Contour Hard Anodized 13-Piece Cookware Set

Hard Anodized Aluminum Cookware

The handles are comfortable, and it cooks as can be expected. Yes It cooks evenly, and they are not cumbersome.

Pros: They where priced well.

Cons: The Tops could be better; however I don't believe any Cookware manufacturer is making actual good tops, that are both functional, and ergonomic. So they are all about the same. You know with the little hole in the top for draining, or steam release, or whatever.

The interior of this cookware is very satisfactory. The lids slide off too easily. The handles, where they attach to the pan, collect food and grime that cannot be removed. The exterior of the pans scratches easily, even with careful, gentle hand washing, just by allowing the pans to touch each other in the same cupboard. The exterior stains very quickly and becomes unsightly after a few uses. Even a special $15 hard anodized cookware cleaner we bought from Bed Bath and Beyond does not remove the stains. So, your cookware looks very old and worn out in just a few months.
