Cuisinart 12-Pc Clad Induction Cookware Set

The main reason that we bought this cook set was to use on an induction type cooktop. Yes, they do work. No, they do not work well. We had previously used a Chantal cook set where one pot cost more than this entire 12 piece collection. I don't think the Chantal cookware was worth the money because the finish was not durable and the handles had a tendency to keep falling off. It did however heat extremely well on an induction cooktop. Not so with the Cuisinart. We are used to being able to fill a pot with 4 quarts of water and have it boiling in a matter of minutes. With the Cuisinart, even on full power,, 15 minutes later we still only had a few bubbles here and there. It got so frustrating, we ended up getting out one of our old-fashioned enameled steel pans, starting from scratch again and having fully cooked pasta while we were still waiting for the Cuisinart to come to a full rolling boil. These are probably a very acceptable set of pots and pans for a gas stove or for a standard resistance type electric stove but I would strongly recommend against purchasing them for an induction cooktop.
