Question 1

is it induction ready

Accepted Answer

Since it specifically says "Induction-ready" in the description AND if you buy it "sold by Amazon" you should be getting 100% back Including shipping, just mark "Product not as listed" or nonfunctional.

Question 2

Are these pots and pans non-stick?

Accepted Answer

No, I went with stainless because non-stick is being linked to cancer.

Question 3

Do the lids fit well enough to create a seal when steaming?

Accepted Answer

NO! I have a steamer pot that is 25 years old that doesn't allow ANY air to escape and I can typically steam hard veggies (potatoes, cauliflower, etc...) in 10-12 minutes.  I needed a set with a new steamer because mine is finally, sadly, in need of replacement. I was excited to use my new Cuisinart set, and started dinner for the first time, thinking I could steam as usual.  Instead, it took 35 MINUTES to steam some cauliflower!!!!  If the heat was too low, it didn't steam.  If the heat was too high, half of the steam escaped from both the lid, and the underneath pot! I called Cuisinart and got the run around. They sent a replacement lid, which was the wrong size, and they also couldn't even locate this particular set in their computer. When they found it on a separate website, the lid size said it was 18 cm, which it is not, hence they sent the wrong size lid. They had no idea how to find the correct size, or how to replace it, and would not replace the pot.  DO NOT buy this set for 2 reasons...the steamer is horrible if you're used to a good steamer, and Cuisinart's customer service people hung up on me. I never leave reviews, but felt inclined to protect other people from this product.  Good luck!

Question 4

can this set be used on an induction cooktop?

Accepted Answer

On the Cuisinart website it clearly states that this set is induction ready!  All of the Cuisinart Chef's Classic pots and pans are induction ready from what I've seen on their website.
