The Cuisinart 77-11G Chef’s Classic Cookware Set is made from stainless steel. However, you should not let the materials fool you as this cookware set has been polished to look like a mirror. With its mirror-like finish, this cookware set adds beauty to your kitchen. Along with looking aesthetic, it also functions well to make your cooking experience the best one.
