Review on 🍲 Cuisinart MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 2-Quart Saucepan with Lid by Carta Gutierrez

I was looking for a stainless steel pot set to replace my very old Magnalite aluminum set which was badly pitted. I wanted fully clad stainless steel cookware. I looked at All-Clad Stainless, Cuisinart Multiclad Pro, Calphalon Triply, and Tramontina Triply. I wanted the folded edge to make casting easier to eliminate all-clad and tramontina records. Not sure which of the other two I wanted, I bought one each of the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro and Calphalon Triply Stainless to test. After using each of them about half a dozen times, I was pleased with the performance of both. Neither seems to have a significant performance advantage over the other. Both heated evenly, were solidly built, and were easy to lift and pour. None of the handles get too hot when cooking, even if the tomato sauce is simmering for hours. The Cuisinart's grip was warmer than the Calphalon, but not by much. I found Calphalon to make cleaning foods that stick to the surface a little easier. However, this was negated by the presence of a third grip rivet that needed cleaning. In essence, performance was the same for both lines. For those who care about the look of their cookware, the Cuisinart Multiclad line has a matte finish. Calphalon Triple polished to a high gloss. I liked both because I don't care that much about how they look. I chose Cuisinart pans for several reasons: lids, pan sizes, and price. I like Cuisinart metal lids more than Calphalon glass lids. I don't understand the advantages of glass lids. They won't withstand higher temperatures than metal, can shatter if dropped or hit, and fog up with use so you still can't see what's in the pot. Cuisinart frying pans are available in 1.5, 2, 3 and 4 liter sizes. This is perfect for my needs. Calphalon was available in 1, 1.5, 2.5, and 4.5 quart sizes. I really wanted something in the 3-3.5 liter range as I use that a lot, but Calphalon doesn't have it. They make a 3 quart saucepan, but I don't need a dished bottom. Cuisinart Multiclad pans are about 50% cheaper than Calphalon Triply pans. Since they worked equally well, the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro seemed like the best fit for my needs.
