Customer Reviews

The Cuisinart 77-412 Chef’s Classic Stainless Steel pasta and steamer set was awarded 4.5 out of a possible 5 stars in the field of customer satisfaction. Most customers felt the items were constructed very well and were a great value. One customer owns a set of All-Clad stainless steel pots and pans but was unable to afford to purchase the All-Clad stainless stock pot. They purchased the Cuisinart instead and said the quality is comparable to the more than $300 All-Clad version. The units were easy to clean and the stainless stays shiny and bright.

Customers were thrilled with how evenly the stock pot cooked their meals and how much longer the food stayed hot. Customers felt the strainer and steamer were a breeze to use and easily made healthy quality pasta meals for the whole family.

There were very few negative comments on these items. One customer stated that they love Cuisinart and only felt that buying through Amazon was not saving money, however since that post Amazon.com lowered the price of the 4- piece set. Another customer claims that after a few months they started to see rust on the top rim of the pasta strainer. This seems to be an isolated incident and Cuisinart was willing to replace the unit.

Recommendation

The Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Stainless Steel set is made of high grade stainless steel. It is very easy to clean and makes cooking and steaming a breeze. The triple layer technology cooks food evenly and keeps meals hotter longer. Cuisinart 77-412 set is very reasonably priced and is hundreds less than similarly made stainless sets. Cuisinart 77-412 4-piece pasta/steamer set is a great buy.
