From The Manufacturer
Go green without sacrificing taste thanks to Cuisinart’s GreenGourmet cookware set. The set consists of a skillet, a covered fry pan, a covered small sauce pan, a covered large sauce pan, a covered everyday pan, a covered dutch oven, and a steamer insert. Containing all the basic kitchen essentials, the set is made of anodized hard aluminum and uses a ceramic-based, eco-friendly nonstick coating. The handles are made of 70% recycled steel, while the packaging is made of recycled materials and printed using soy-based inks. Because the set is hard anodized, heat is diffused evenly, eliminating hot spots and improving flavor. Oven safe to 500 degrees F, each piece is PTFE/PFOA and petroleum free.

What reviewers didn't like
No stockpot. Handles get hot while cooking.
Didn’t brown steak evenly. Scorched tomato sauce. Handles are riveted, making them trickier to clean.
Average durability for ceramic is often 6-24 months. Not suitable for use with induction stoves. Some of the dishes (wok, stock pot, dutch oven) don't really benefit by being nonstick and you could find them in other materials for a similar price.
Doesn’t stack well for storage. Doesn’t include a large skillet.
Hand cleaning only. Metal utensils can damage its interior.
Not dishwasher safe. Only use ceramic-safe utensils.
This set might not perform as well as before after a year of use. Not effective while cooking large meals.
