Summary:This Cuisinart nonstick 7pc set is made from hard anodized aluminium • Has glass lids.
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.

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.

Comment:
We have had one of these pans for about two years. Food sticks to the pan in normal use and when you try to clean it the non-stick coating flakes off. Now the pan is unsafe and will be thrown away.
