This is an enlightening article.   Copyright © 2013-2016 CenturyLife.Org  ...   Link:  https://www.centurylife.org/in-depth-product-review-cuisinart-multiclad-pro-aka-mcp-or-multiclad-professional-tri-ply-professional-stainless-steel-12-inch-skillet-30-cm-frying-pan/
-----------------
Sometime around 2010 Cuisinart stopped advertising Multiclad  Pro (MCP) as SAE 304 (18/8 or 18/10 stainless steel; the 18 refers to 18% chromium, and the 8-10% refers to 8-10% nickel). Amazon still hasn’t updated their product description; it still says 18/10 there.   I contacted Cuisinart for clarification, but they wouldn’t tell me exactly what stainless grade they use now.
Note 1:   As an aside, many companies that advertise 18/10 stainless use something more like 18/8.3 stainless and round way up to 18/10.
Note 2:   18/8 or 18/10 stainless is strong and rust-resistant, which is why high-end cookware usually uses it
Note 3:   we can be fairly confident that Cuisinart is using at least SAE 202/204 (18/4) stainless in Multiclad Pro, since MCP is Cuisinart’s highest-end product line, and the interior of MCP is not strongly magnetic
Note 4:   almost all stainless steel cookware made today (including All-Clad  -and-  Cuisinart Multiclad Pro) is made with a bottom-most layer of SAE 400-series (18/0) stainless in order to be induction-compatible. That’s because the addition of small amounts of nickel in stainless makes the steel less magnetic, so you can’t use 18/4, or 18/8, or 18/10 stainless on the bottom and still be induction-compatible
Note 5:   18/0 is still fairly rust-resistant–it survives dishwashers without rusting–but try to avoid letting your stainless pots sit in puddles of water for days on end.
Note 6:   note that the rivets on Cuisinart MCP have stainless interior caps, but the exterior is aluminum, so if you clean the rivets a lot (especially if you run MCP through the dishwasher a lot), the outside part of the rivets will look less shiny. The dullness is purely cosmetic.

Question 2

Can they really be used on an induction stovetop? I had a set that looked similar a few years ago, Cuisinart said it would work on induction, but -no

Accepted Answer

Yes, they work on induction stoves.

Question 3

Is it Triply?

Accepted Answer

The Cuisinart Chef's Classic line is not triply. It has an aluminum core in the base, but the sides are just stainless steel.

Question 4

how does it fare for cooking bacon in it?

Accepted Answer

It works beautifully! Even cooking surface and cleans up easily.
Highly recommend it!!
