"We have a winner!"

"Read why this set is rated the best stainless steel cookware set on the internet"
 

More than a year ago we were contacted by a reader who needed some help with purchasing a set of stainless steel cookware. This person didn’t just want any old cookware – they wanted the best they could get for their money – they just didn’t know where to start.

 

Now we don’t sell cookware ourselves – we research the products and pass the information on to you, the consumer. So we were able to assist our reader by providing unbiased recommendations based on what we knew at the time.

 

Some time later, this person contacted us to say she considered our recommendations but went with a completely different cookware set which she was so pleased with that she had to tell us all about it. In fact, she was  more than pleased, she was ecstatic!

Our mistake…

At the time we were researching brands like All Clad and Calphalon and really hadn’t much to do with the cookware she was recommending and even though she raved about it, we didn’t take too much notice and just brushed it off as one person’s opinion.

 

How wrong were we! We had been focusing on what we thought were the best cookware brands and totally missed this jewel in the crown.

"All Clad Quality Without the All Clad Price"

It was only until recently that we finally got around to looking into this cookware in more detail and confirmed what the hundreds of reviewers from all over the internet were saying – that this was, as one reader put it, “All Clad quality without the All Clad price tag”.

Now at this point you're probably wondering what brand of cookware I am talking about but bear with me as before you go racing off to buy it you need to know a few vital facts.

 

Don't worry...there are only 3 quick and easy things you need to know but without this important information you may get sidetracked and spot a cheaper brand and think that will do the job. But believe me when I say that cheap cookware is cheap for a reason.

 

IMPORTANT: Don’t skip this next bit as without it you could be wasting money on your next cookware purchase...

3 Vital Facts You Need to Know Before You Choose Your Next Stainless Steel Cookware Set

• 
  Before you even consider buying a stainless steel cookware set make sure you know the 3 important points below. Learn them well as this knowledge will not only ensure that you buy the best cookware possible but you also get the best bang for your buck.
   

• 		Buy stainless steel cookware that has either an aluminium or copper core…or both! Stainless steel looks good and is strong and durable but it really doesn’t cut it when it comes to good heat retention. This is where aluminum or copper comes into play. Both of these metals ensure that foods cook evenly without those annoying hot spots. Plus when you turn that dial to change the temperature on your stove top, the cookware responds rapidly to temperature changes.
  		Ensure the aluminium or copper runs up the sides of the pans A lot of stainless steel cookware on the market today only includes a layer of aluminum or copper in the base of the pot or pan. This is good but what is even better is when the aluminium/copper runs up the sides of the pan. When you see this you know you are looking at quality cookware.
  		Ensure the stainless steel is 18/10 Stainless steel is an alloy which means it is made up of a number of different metals. Two of these metals are chromium and nickel. The 18 refers to the percentage of chromium and the 10 refers to the percentage of nickel. Both of these metals ensure that the steel is ‘stainless’. In other words, that it doesn’t rust or scratch easily and that it maintains strength and durability. The higher these numbers the better the metal. You might see 18/8 cookware however 18/10 is better.

  
  What else do you need to know?
  
  Of course there are other things to consider when buying stainless steel such as ensuring it is dishwasher safe, oven and broiler safe, that it has strong riveted handles and it has lids that fit securely.
  
  We Knew That We Had a Winner!!
  
  So what is the cookware set that our reader raved about so long ago?... I almost feel like a drum roll would be appropriate here but let's not stall any longer. The cookware set she was referring to is the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless-Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set.

   

  This set has all the attributes spoken about above and more. But not only that, this cookware set is consistently given a 5 star rating by consumers on the net. In fact, the lowest overall rating we have ever seen for this set is 4.5 stars. We knew then that we were on to a winner!

 

Let's Take a Look in More Detail

 

First of all this set meets all of the criteria as set out above ie. it is made from 18/10 stainless steel and has an aluminum core that runs up the sides of each pot or pan but lets take a closer look at some of its other features.
