I hesitated on buying new pans - it seems so mundane. I have been using the same old pans for 25 years now, and decided to treat myself to something special. I had bought one of these pans a year ago at Macy's and the prices kept me from buying more. I saw these on Amazon felt the pull to get them. I LOVE these pans!!! They cook so evenly, and are so easy to clean! I don't know why I waited so long to upgrade!

We bought these pans a little over one month ago. So far we really love them. Not only do they look great, they cook evenly and are really easy to clean up. The sizes of the pans in this set was just right for us also. We really love the covered saute pan. I spent a lot of time searching online for the right set, at the right price. We got a great deal on this set at Amazon. I would highly recommend these pans and can not thing of anything negative to add.

These pots are wonderful. They look good and cook great. Would definitely buy again.

I bought theses pans after reading about all of the Calphalon and every other -on. I didn't want to spend a fortune and figured these would last longer now that the last of the kids is about out of the house, since I can take better care of the pans if I'm the only one cooking with them. These pans are beautiful and the handles feel awesome in your hands. These are definitely pretty enough to hang from a rack. Even though they have the durable non-stick interior, I have noticed some slight surface scratches from a spoons, and I am making an effort to use nylon, wood or silicone utensils. Another reviewer stated she put them in the dishwasher, although a lot of these pans say they should be hand washed. They are SO easy to clean up, I just quickly hand wash them, swipe a towel around them and put them away. If you do get dark spots on the outside bottom of the pan from something burned on, a little Bon Ami on a damp rag removes it and it leaves the finish perfect!

I loved these so much I even did a search for another of the 3-qt. pans because we use it so much!! Found one on eBay, and it was 3-qt., but when I got it, it was shorter and a little wider...I think they called it a saucier. This was even better because they all still stack well since the two pans aren't identical dimensions. This set sells on eBay for well over $200, so this is a buy, although I had my set sitting in my shopping cart for so long while I made up my mind, the price had gone down every time I looked at it and I got them even way cheaper than this!!

Couldn't be happier! Buy them...you'll love them!

I've had these pans for years and I still love them. The handles are ergo friendly for easy pickup by anyone. More importantly - they are VERY affordable. They have survived the dishwasher for years and still look new. If I need something heavier - I go with what the pros use (vollrath) and continue to save money.

I have been using these now for about 3 weeks. They work great and look very nice. I cooked gravy in one and, normally, it takes forever to clean. Other than the rivets (normal sticking point) it cleaned up in about 30 seconds. Very nice set. The lids site nicely. The only complaint is storage is a bit tricky for where I store them and the large looping lid handles makes it harder to store but that is more of a nitpick and not a complaint on how they work.

I ordered these pans 1 year ago, and used them for the first 6 months no problem. Cooks evenly, cleans easily (literally just rinsed the residue off in the sink). It still looked like new. Earlier this year I got lazy and careless:

Not Dishwasher Safe - I've been running cycles through the dishwasher, with mild detergent. However, the pans have entirely lost the outside color/coating, and are now a faded grey.

Interior is Not Scratch Resistant - Do not use steel wool to wash the inside, the first time I used them the scratches were probably so minor I couldn't see them. But as time wears on the tiny scratches begin to chip into larger ones, eventually the entire layer falls off.

High quality Teflon is still Teflon. Treat it like delicate glass, hand-wash with soft sponges, and the set will probably last you a lifetime. Otherwise you'll be needing a new set in a year.

I had used the same old stuff forever. Nothing wrong with it but....when I saw this set on sale I decided what the heck. And I LOVE it. If you are the main cook and bottle washer in your family, you are worth the extra investment in good cookware. I did keep some of my old for back up as this is more of a starter set, but I know if you try it you'll love it.

Bought this set for $99 on a lightening deal. Primarily wanted the a couple of the saucepans and the 8 qt. stockpot (for those times a 6 qt., which is the usual size in sets like these, just isn't quite big enough). Figured I could use or give away the pieces that unnecessarily duplicate my existing set of hard anodized cookware. Am very impressed with the quality of these pans. Seems just as well made as my existing set (which was much pricier). Far exceeded my expectations. Would be great starter set or an addition to existing sets.

I like the set, in general, but the large skillet warped under normal use. I don't use extremely high temps to cook with, nor do I put the pans in the dishwasher. Now when I put the skillet on the stove, it spins like a top. Other than that, this is a good set. No issues with the teflon coating. I guess you get what you pay for in a $100 set of pans.
