What is the difference between the 9 and 12 piece set? Can't tell from the photos. Get an extra pot??

You need to click on the 12-piece or 9-piece button to show the picture...the 12 piece set has "blanching" equipment...small pot with a lid and an additional perforated "double-boiler" like insert that can easily remove items from the boiling bath, as well as add new items to the boiling bath.

i actually own both. the difference, i believe is in their shape. the cheaper one has a wider circumference and lower height. this, i find, lends itself to cooking vegetables, such as ratatouille, while the other is better for dishes in which you do not want the sauce to evaporate too quickly. the smaller diameter helps in that. i was once trying to cook something in the wider flatter pot and the recipe started with making the sauce. as the pot was wide and a larger portion of it exposed to the heat, the sauce burnt rather than cooked evenly as it would have in the other pot. i enjoy both of the pots, as well as the many others i own, but have learnt through trial and error when to use each pot. i hope tho is helpful.

Not sure what you are asking. Mine has a diameter of only 6 inches. An 8 cup pot with a 11-inch diameter would look more like a skillet, wouldn't it? If you're looking for something else, I'm sorry.

I'm thinking the 12 set has a bigger variety but I LOVE the 8 piece set that next time I would try the 12 piece. I actually wish I had the 12 piece for the small price & good quality

The upper couple inches are 8 inches in diameter. Then the lower majority of the pot is 9 inches in diameter.

The big pot is tall and smaller around which is a good choice for things like corn on the cob and such. The others are regular sizes. These pots are ok. Not real thrilled with them. I like my stainless ones better and they were a lot cheaper!

We have the 12 in. set. There is a "pot" that contains the water that you boil, and a lid, and then two tiers of equal depth (about 3 inches) which can be put into the "pot". Don't know about the other sizes.

The pot is 12 inches across and 9 inches deep. Love it! This does not include the lid and handles on side of pot.

Mine had the special bottom on the 4 quart only but both pots seem to be fairly non-stick. I use the 4 quart for oil free sauteing and browning with a quick final pressure cook. The eight quart I use for beans and steaming larger items like artichoke or squash. Great set. Highly recommend!

I bought 2 sets, 10 piece and 12 piece. The 10 piece shown here my daughter has. It doesn't have but 1 frying pan which is the 8 inch. The 12 piece I have had 2 frying pans with it but no steamer so I ordered me one. Steamer is a basket that goes inside one of the pots. Its behind the utensils. A Dutch Oven is the one right in the front. They are good for using to make roast with potatoes and carrots , stews, or casseroles in the oven. The lid fits down tightly and the food cooks slow and evenly in the oven. We both love our cookware. It cooks great and cleans up great. Couldn't ask for better cookware and the price is excellent.

When I ordered this item back in August, it came up Farberware. I think the previous answer from another buyer may be the answer you seek. The only difference for me was that my original pot was made in the USA and this newer one (replacement) is made in China.

The 12 inch fry pan has more flared sides and will be easier for eggs and the like. The 11" saute pan is better for stews and similar items but you can cook everything, including eggs in it. Just get a spatula with a curved handle. Aside from the size, go for the one you will be using most.

The tallest pot one could use would be 12" but this screen tapers down to 9". The width of the item would be the width of a pan that could be used.

Sorry, I don't know. It doesn't say anywhere on any of the pots I've purchased in this set, I just looked. Might the info be available from Cuisinart or from a retailer? Good luck. I do really like this line of pots/pans. I have four sizes, use them daily, and would recommend them highly.

Sorry it took a while to answer but everything was in German so I had to make conversions which are approximate. The set includes the following: 6 quart pot with lid 4 quart skillet with lid 3 quart pot with lid which also is a double boiler bottom. So there is a double boiler top and a steamer top for the 3 quart pot. 1 quart pan with a single handle with lid 1 quart pan with double handle This set of pots and pans is very heavy(7 layer construction) and I am very pleased with my set. I hope this helps Mrs Yoder. There where two or three miscellaneous items also included

Hmm....I honestly had not seen that there are 2. We purchased the 8 quart, but have decided it's is a bit small for some of the stews and soups we make so we plan to purchase the 12 quart at a later date. Honestly, if I had seen the 7 lb. stockpot, I would have still purchased the 5 lb. one because I have very small hands!Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
