About - Cuisinart Green Gourmet

The Cuisinart Green Gourmet is part of the kitchen cookware test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, cookware models like the Green Gourmet 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

These are sold in Bloomingdale's, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Macy's, specialty stores and numerous online retailers.

Comment:
I use this product to cook eggs of every variety -- especially omelets and fried (over-light, thank you). As with all stainless steel cookware, the secret is to use coconut oil (much less likely to burn) and low-to-medium-high heat. Using butter, EVOO in combination with high heat guarantees a burned skillet, or at least a hard clean-up. I would buy this product again, and no, I don't work for the company.

Comment:
Have used Cuisinart Green Gourmet cookware almost every day for over one year to cook many types of foods. Non-stick surface still looks and works almost like new; very good non-stick qualities. Very easy to use and clean. Healthy qualities of non-stick coating was significant factor in buying this product.

More than six months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
