Advantages

In general, stainless steel is not a very good conductor of heat. With your average stainless steel cookware set, your cooking time may be extended. However, the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro's aluminum core which is placed between two layers of stainless steel solves this problem. With this set, simply preheat the pans at medium heat - there is no need to use high heat for cooking.
Another benefit of this set is that the handles do not get overly hot while cooking. The handles were also ergonomically designed, making it easier to shake, flip and move the pans. No shaky handles to worry about either - they are riveted tightly to the cookware, elimating the risk for serious injury.
The Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro is dishwater safe so cleaning up is a breeze. If you prefer to wash the pots and pans by hand, you only need to use dishwashing detergent, hot water, and a good sponge. Stuck on food comes right off and stains are removed completely - leaving you with a sparkling clean, new-looking pan every time.
The lids are also interchangeable - and they can be used to cover the skillet. A unique feature is the rolled edges of the pots and pans, which prevent liquids and sauces from pouring down the sides. You can also use this cookware inside the oven because it is oven safe up to 500 degrees fahrenheit. The set t is also safe to use on induction ranges.
What's more, the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro looks perfect in your modern kitchen because of its classy, elegant brushed exterior.
What Others Say
Most consumers who have used the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro rate it at 5 stars. However, there are a few who have problems with food sticking to the pans. This seems to be an exception, not the rule. There are others who complain about the handle lids rusting or receiving cookware sets that do not have smooth finishes. Again, these are not common experiences, and perhaps those who have complained more likely got bad stock, than anything else.
Conclusion
With all the advantages that the Cuisinart MCP-12 MultiClad Pro Stainless Steel 12-piece Cookware Set offers, it is proving to be a better cookware than its non-stick counterparts. Stainless steel cookware is more durable and more versatile. Because the pans are oven safe, you can even use the pans for roasting. And you'll never have to worry about non-stick coating peeling off and getting into your food.

| Tips for Better Food Processing | | | Food size: Always cut large pieces of food into smaller pieces of even size -- about 1/2 an inch -- to produce a uniform chop. | 
Chop and Grind Function |
| | Bowl fill: Do not overload the work bowl; processed food should not reach more than two-thirds of the way up the work bowl. Please note: because of the powerful motor, it is recommended to use one hand to support the chopper/grinder during operation. |
| | Chop vs. Grind: Use the Chop function for chopping, pureeing and mixing. It is the right choice, for example, for chopping soft, fragile food such as herbs, celery, onions, garlic and most cheeses. It is also the right choice for pureeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise, and mixing salad dressing. Use the Grind function for grinding spices, and for chopping hard foods such as peppercorns, seeds, chocolate and nuts. |
| | Pulse vs. Continuous-hold: Pulsing is best when you are using the chop function. Two or three pulses are often enough. Be sure to check the food frequently to prevent over processing. If you over-process, you are likely to get a watery paste instead of a fine chop. A continuous-hold is best when you are using the grind function. Depending on the food, you may have to operate the unit for several seconds to achieve the desired results -- or as long as 20 seconds for some seeds. When operating in continuous-hold, use a pulse action every 10 seconds to allow food to drop to the bottom of the work bowl. This provides more consistent results. Never operate the unit continuously for longer than one minute at a time. |
| | Adding liquid: You can add liquids such as water, oil or flavoring while the machine is running. For example, you might want to add oil when making mayonnaise or salad dressing, or you could add vanilla or alcohol when making frozen yogurt. Pour the liquid through one of the two openings in the cover. Please note: only add liquid through one opening at a time. The other opening must be left unobstructed to allow air to escape. If both opening are blocked, liquid cannot flow smoothly into the bowl. |
| | Removing food from the sides of the bowl: Occasionally food will stick to the sides of the bowl as you process. Stop the machine to clear the food away. Once the blade has stopped, remove the cover and use the included spatula to scrape the food from the sides of the bowl back into the center. Do not put hands into bowl unless unit is unplugged. |
| Quick Start Guide | - Place the work bowl firmly on the motor base. Opening the at the back of the bowl must face column at the back of the Chopper/Grinder. Turn bowl counterclockwise to lock in place.
- Insert the blade assembly. Carefully pick up the blade by its hub and place on the center stem until it drops to the bottom of the stem. Firmly push to lock the blade into position. NEVER TOUCH THE BLADE ITSELF AND NOTE THE BLADE IS NOT PERMANENTLY LOCKED.
- Place food in the work bowl. Be sure the food is cut into small pieces, and the bowl is not overloaded.
- Lock the cover into position.
- Press the appropriate Chop or Grind control, depending on the food you are processing.
- When you have finished processing the food, stop the machine by releasing the control button.
- ONCE THE BLADE STOPS MOVING, unplug the unit.
- Remove cover and work bowl
- Turn work bowl cover clockwise to remove.
- Turn work bowl clockwise to unlock and lift lid off base.
Note: thicker ingredients can be removed while work bowl is still on base.
- To remove liquids and sauces from bowl: simply pour ingredients out of work bowl. The convenient BladeLock System keeps the blade safely in place.
- To remove thicker ingredients from bowl: Carefully remove the blade assembly by holding the handle on the top of the sheath and gently pulling up to disengage blade lock. Remove food with spatula.
Tips: Always process foods in order, from dry to wet, to avoid having to clean bowl and blade between each task. Never operate the Cuisinart Elite Collection Chopper/Grinder without ingredients in the work bowl.

The BladeLock System |
| Cleaning and Storage | | | To simplify cleaning, rinse the work bowl, cover, and blade immediately after each use. Wash blade assembly, work bowl, cover, and spatula in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry. Use caution when washing the blade. | 
Make Hummus in Minutes |
| | Avoid leaving the blade in soapy water where it may disappear from sight. The work bowl, cover, blade assembly, and spatula can be washed on the top rack of a dishwasher. Wipe the motor base clean with a damp sponge or cloth. Dry it immediately. Never submerge the motor base or plug in water or other liquid. |
| | The Cuisinart Elite Collection Chopper/Grinder stores neatly on the countertop in a minimum of space. When it is not in use, be sure to leave it unplugged. The hidden cord storage underneath the motor base will help to keep excess cord off the countertop. Store the unit assembled to prevent loss of parts. Store the blades out of reach of children. |
