I have bought and used the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro 12 Piece Set and have no complaints. But this is not entirely about how great the set is but more of my desire to share my findings on cooking in stainless steel cookware.
Firstly, I did not set out to buy that particular set knowing about Cuisinart products beforehand. I was doing my research on the benefits of cooking in stainless steel cookware when I discovered not only the advantages but also HOW to go about choosing a reliable stainless steel set that lasts.
The 18/10 Rule
In my quest to look for that “perfect” match, I stumbled upon something called the 18/10 rule in stainless steel cookware. For some of us who probably learn about this the first time, allow me to explain.
Now, as you may already know, stainless steel is made up of an alloy, or a mixture of metals. Two of these metals are chromium and nickel. So if you see 18/10, the number 18 refers to the composition of chromium and yes, 10 refers to the percentage of nickel.
So in laymen’s terms, what does that mean to you ?
Firstly, the presence of these two metals are crucial in ensuring the durability (or the stainless steel-ness, if you will) of the cookware. With the Cuisinart multiclad pro 12 piece, this is not an issue as the set fulfills this criteria.
How about the 18/10 composition? Yep, that too. In other words, you are really looking at a very strong, reliable set.
And let me add a little more on the 18/10 rule in that the higher composition signifies increased sturdiness. For instance, 18/10 is better than 18/8, which you might spot in other cookware.
Of course there are other criteria to look for when buying a stainless steel cookware set, like whether there is aluminum core incorporated up its sides. But I thought I share this piece of information because it’s kind of new to me … and I thought it might benefit you too.
