Unable to remove black spots from bottom of pan. Only the 3rd time the pan has been used.

We’re sorry to hear about the black spots forming on your pan, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. These spots can sometimes occur from high heat or mineral buildup, and soaking the pan in warm soapy water followed by a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive cleaner can often help remove them. If the issue continues, please contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-726-0190 so we can assist you further.

This is the first time I have chosen Cuisinart . I LOVE IT !!!! IT IS SUCH A BEAUTIFULLY MADE PAN. For many years I used another stainless steel company's pans. They just are not the same quality that they use to be. CUISINART IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION !!!!! Please keep carrying Cuisinart !!!!! BEST PURCHASE I HAVE MADE IN A VERY LONG TIME !!!!!!

Do not buy
Horrible, after one use the metal pitted and while using it to cook with it kept making snapping sounds, as though it could take the heat of simply boiling water. Will be returning.

Perfect tbh
Was worried at first as I saw some mixed reviews from here & other places but turns out some ppl aren't using it at the approprate temps as to why the staining can happen. Also depends on how you clean it, still looks exactly the way I bought it & use it 5 days out of the week so yay haha

Glass top not safe bad quality
This is what happened the first time I used my brand new Cuisinart sauce pan. The glass top does not have a vent, which was probably my first clue that something was wrong. I put it on the pot with the heat turned off, so my food could cool down. I did not have it on the pot while my food was cooking. This is what happened. Horrible! Shame on you, Cuisinart I thought you were a quality brand!

Worst pan I've owned
This is an incredibly cheaply-made item, IMO. The shiny steel cooking surface has already acquired multiple pits after 7 weeks use. It seems like a thin foil on top of a black base metal. I mostly use this to boil water and cook from that (oatmeal, pasta, etc.). I have used soft (blue) sponges and cloths, not yellow sponges or steel wool. It's cheap, as such pans go, but seems really cheap in quality. Laughable! Bush-League Psych-out stuff!

It’s an ok pan. After just a handful of cooks with the pan and hand washing it. The pan has stayed looking unclean with a metal white residue.

Kitchen Staple
The pot is a great size to have in a well-stocked kitchen. A workhorse along with the 3 quart. It’s sturdy, sits flat, and heats quickly. The lid stays put, and I like this brand.

Waste of money - stains after 1 use
I boiled water one time and it immediately had stains and marks that I can’t get rid of. Also, the handle doesn’t stay cool like it says it does.

Not safe not good
Burned my dinner and pot burned to a crisp in less than 10 min on low heat boiling some millet in a light veggie soup. Threw the pot away. Before I did reached out to the cuisinart team for lifetime warranty and well there’s no lifetime warranty, jokes on me

What spots??
Don't know what the other reviews are about as I have no "black spots" after boiling water, just the usual little white mineral residue that is common when boiling water in ANY container. Cleans easily with a green pad. If you don't put the handle over direct heat it stays safe to handle. Sounds like others may be burning their food, a common error when cooking at too high temps. I have no issues with my Cuisinart cookware.
