About - Cuisinart Chef's Classic Non-Stick 66-7

The Cuisinart Chef's Classic Non-Stick 66-7 is part of the kitchen cookware test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, cookware models like the Chef's Classic Non-Stick 66-7 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Set (pieces):
Each set includes at least a saucepan, a frying pan, and a stockpot. Lids are typically counted as separate components in a set.

Cooking evenness:
Cooking evenness reflects the ability of frying pans to turn out evenly browned pancakes on a gas range.

Nonstick durability:
To assess nonstick durability, we intentionally abraded frying-pan surfaces with steel wool until the coating was worn through or up to 2,000 strokes. Scoring for finishes that were still intact at 2,000 strokes reflects reduced nonstick performance.
About This Brand

Never another Cuisinart anything!

Pros
Cons
Non-stick coating peels
Best Uses
Comment:
I thought that a non-stick cooking surface meant that the food would release easily, not the actual coating on the pan! I was so embarrassed when I gave a wedding gift of Cuisinart, only to have the bride give it back shortly after the wedding. The non-stick coating was peeling off in sheets. Cuisinart's customer service was less than helpful and when I asked to speak to a manager, they just disconnected me. I will never again buy anything made by Cuisinart!

Cuisinart disappoints
12/9/2011
Pros
Cons
Coating breaks down
Non-stick breaks down
Stains easily
Best Uses
Comment:
After 2-3 months, non-stick coating stained and began to break-down. Cuisinart provided no satisfaction to my Warranty request, as i am a CA resident and they are supposed to bear the cost of shipping in my state. Deaf ears-They say, We changed the warranty.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
