Cuisinart Preferred Pan 4-Pc Set

I’m in love with this pan. I’m a pretty big fan of cuisinart anyway but I go for stainless steel cookware 99% of the time. I wanted some to steam foods bc of the collapsible steamer is just a nuisance to clean and deal with. After searching a long while I decided to try this bc I love the green and thought it was a good size. It’s a great size for our bigger family. Holds 4 large chicken breasts. Plenty of broccoli and carrots (not at the same time as the chicken). And ample dumplings!!! Dumplings are so much better if they’re steamed and then fried separately (I swear!). You can easily put in a piece of parchment paper to keep things from sticking but with most meat and veggies it’s not necessary. I really love how easy it is to clean. Obviously the pan is simple but the steamer cleaned effortlessly whether you hand wash it or put it in the dishwasher. As for the pot, it’s a ceramic nonstick so if you go anything over medium heat then it’ll lost it’s no stick virtues. And handwash that only and don’t dare touch metal on it. Just in case you want to make it last. I will say the only downfall to this pot is the pour spouts BECAUSE I got this specifically for steaming the pour spouts let out a large amount of steam and allow for the bubbles to run out and over the pan. But then again if you want the pour spouts the. They’re a good design. I’ll also add that you can put in quite a bit of water to steam u see the steamer. It sets up off the pan about an inch. I can steam continuously for 30 minutes and there’s still a lot of water to keep going if need be. The lid fits flawlessly even with the steamer I sert (but obviously not the pour spouts. And it’s pretty heavy and absolutely durable through and through. I’ll eventually test other things in it but haven’t so far. I love the spatula. It has a nice long handle and is very durable. I hadn’t realized it fits to the lid but I also don’t need it to either.
