Best praise vs top criticism for Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless Steel
“The two you mentioned, Tramontina and Cuisinart, are both pretty affordable. Why not buy those? I use my Tramontina 12" pan a few times a week and love it.”
“Without that copper disc it's just a pure stainless pot. Pure stainless has pretty terrible thermal conductivity so I would only use this for boiling water or soup kinda. Later versions of Revere Ware didn't really use a lot of copper, so while you could try to salvage this somehow you'd be better off with a decent [replacement](https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-8919-14-Professional-Stainless-Saucepan/dp/B00NAU8VYY/) from [Cuisinart](https://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-MCP19-16N-MultiClad-Stainless-Saucepan/dp/B009P48324/) or other quality brands. Avoiding waste is good, but getting a new pot probably is best for this situation.”
