What brand do you like for stainless? Is Cuisinart any good?

I currently have the Demeyere Atlantis and it is arguably one of the gold standards of stainless cookware with simply stellar performance. It really shines with induction, which can have a tendency to be hard on cookware.

The Multi-Clad Pro (MCP) and the Professional Series are both good products. The MCP is fully clad, whereas the Professional Series uses a disc design (the Chef's Classic uses a disc design as well, but it is not as good of a design as the Professional Series). Tramontina Tri-ply Clad is also good on the entry level of stainless.

However, I would strongly recommend considering All-Clad because it is a step up in manufacturing quality compared to Cuisinart and Tramontina, and they currently have crazy good deals on factory seconds at https://homeandcooksales.com/ . These are factory-direct sales of cookware with damaged packaging (for a discount) or cosmetic imperfections (for a huge discount). I had All-Clad before getting my Demeyere I highly recommend them.

If you are flexible on pricing, I would also recommend looking at the Demeyere Industry and Demeyere Atlantis.
