Bought for the design, staying for the quality I bought these for the unique space saving design because my kitchen is a little light on storage. But I'm STAYING for the ridiculous quality! Honestly, highest quality cookware I've ever owned. Really nice details from the etched measurements inside to the choice of welds over rivets. A++

Big and Beautiful This cookware was thoughtfully crafted featuring its stackable convenience, removable handles and collapsing lid handles. Cooking performance is great in the oven but stove top I found the browning pan much larger than the burners so heat distribution was a bit uneven. Overall this is beautiful cookware but it’s size and weight is a bit daunting for myself as a single person. Stackware would be a great investment for large entertaining groups, families or professional use.

New smaller kitchen The kitchen in our new, super energy-efficient home has less cabinet space than the prior one. It also has a super efficient induction stove. The Ensembl cookware occupied a lot less space. Ensemble replaced a decades old and much loved All-Clad set successfully. It's attractive stainless steel and my wife now loves induction cooking.

sturdy, stackable for serious cooking but cumbersome for smaller spaces I really love how sturdy and stackable the set is. However, they aren’t ideal for smaller spaces . These would be great for prepping huge amounts of food for many people on a special occasion, but they quality of being large and heavy makes them not ideal for single people, couples living in small condos or apartments, or everyday cooking. Some of the pans hang over the side of my stove and encroach on the other burner area so I can’t use all the burners i need to to prep certain dishes . I think if you made a smaller set it would be a real hit. Personally, I prefer my more light weight pots and pans for everyday cooking. But having to store many set of pots and pans defeats the purpose of having stackwear intended for decluttering, organizing, efficiency and a minimalist lifestyle. I’m sad I gave my old pots pans away when I got the Stackware. I had high hopes for these.

Strong! Slight delay in delivery, but nothing terrible. The pans are “built”. Like crazy high quality. But….. they are huge.
