Handle melted
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in December ‘25. Loved it until I put in the oven at 350% for 30 minutes. Went to take it out by the handle and came very close to dropping it cause the handle had melted/broken while cooking.

We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Cuisinart Preferred Pan 4-Pc Set. The cookware is intended to perform as expected when used according to the care and use instructions, and a handle melting or breaking during normal oven use is certainly not the experience we want for our consumers. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901097605 so we can gather additional details and assist with available options. Thank you for bringing this to our attention; your feedback has been shared with our team, and we appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Cuisinart All purpose pan
The pan is great to cook all types of food; however, I am having trouble with the handle of the lid keeps coming loose and constantly needs tightening. I would give this pan a 3/5 rating because of the annoyance of retightening the screw on the lid.

We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the overall performance of the Cuisinart® Preferred Pan Set, though we understand your concern with the lid handle becoming loose. For best results, we recommend periodically checking and tightening the screw, and ensuring it’s securely fastened before each use, as regular heating and cooling can sometimes cause loosening over time. If the issue persists, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us improve future models.

Preferred Pan Pros & Cons
I ordered two sets; one for me and one for a gift. The best things about the pan are the generous size and the helper handle. But, I was dismayed to read the brochure which warned against using any metal utensils or putting it in the oven for longer than 20 minutes. I would not have bought these if I had know that information beforehand.

Great cookware
I like the set except you cannot get a seal bc of the pour spouts. Way too much steam escapes

Beautiful pan for daily use
This pan is large enough to cook for a family and special enough to make me feel like a 4-star chef! All materials are of the highest quality and the included spatula is perfect for the increased pan depth. The pan allows for easy and near-perfect frying, stewing, stir frying or steaming. I use this pan near daily, and so will you.

Ceramic cooking pot
This Cuisinart ceramic pot is superb. No sticking. Very easily cleaned. I can use it as a pot in making lentils or meat dishes, and at the same time it makes a great omelette. It’s remarkably convenient and versatile. I am very satisfied and happy for this purchase.

This perfect steamer makes the perfect mash potatoes and anything else. A must have in all kitchens plus beautiful color selection. Slow cooker is No.1 and Preferred Pan is No. 2. Cuisinart deserves a medal for innovation and bringing enjoyment to all cooks.

Now my FAVORITE pan!
This Is my daily “go to” pan for everything! Browning meat, steaming veggies, homemade apple-pear sauce…what doesn’t this pan do? I would love a smaller version of this exact pan.

Preferred Pan 4-Pc Set does not disappoint!
I bought this on a whim because I don't currently have any non-stick cookware --- all stainless or cast iron. I've read so much hype about the benefits ceramic non-stick I thought I'd give it a try. I trust the Cuisinart brand and found the Preferred Pan 4-Pc Set for a reasonable price. I have certainly not been disappointed. Even heating, truly non-stick and cleanup couldn't be easier. It's fast becoming my go-to pan in the kitchen. The pan, strainer, lid, spatula combination is a great and versatile way to try the product for a number of uses. It has outperformed my expectations. I higly recommend this product!

The perfect size
A worthy replacement for my old 5qt Cuisinart pan of the same form. With a bit of luck I’ll get many years of use from this as well.
