Review on Cuisinart GG 12 GreenGourmet Hard Anodized Nonstick by Jessica Rae

I bought these because they received high ratings in consumer reports and because I've started to trust the Cuisinart name. Never. They were fantastic for the first few months. I have followed all care instructions (hand washed every time). At 9 months I didn't even want to use them because it was so painful. A year later I started looking around for new sets and bought a couple of pans to decide as they are completely useless. The last set I bought from Target lasted at least a few years before becoming a problem. And it was less than half the price. I was hoping that my fall was an accident but having seen the reviews when I came to write this I don't think it was. Stay away from this set - it just isn't worth the disappointment. What happened to the Cuisinart I loved?
