Functional & Beautiful Investment I pre-purchased the full set of Stackware and it was worth the wait. The set is gorgeous – but also heavy, super luxe and heats evenly with no hot spots. The laser-welded handles eliminate obtrusive rivets to cook/clean around. The clear glass lids lay flat and stack well, and the removable handles let me maximize my stovetop space and afford a cool-touch surface when it's time to relocate from the burner. The set nests together on one shelf – and aside from my cast iron, stand on their own as everything needed to get any job done. In a world where I’m cooking frequent, healthy and creative meals from home, Stackware has made my daily kitchen time more enjoyable and my cabinets less cluttered – does it get any better for a city-dweller?

Get ready to burn yourself repeatedly Get ready to burn yourself repeatedly. The worst designed lid handles possilble! And what is up with the size of the fry pans... this is not M.A.S.H unit... I am not cooking for a platoon. I have never seen cookware on that scale! I thought maybe I had shrunk instantly to half my size! It works beutifully with my induction cook top! I only use the small and medium sauce pan and nothing else - because the stock pot, and fry pans are ridiculous in size. If you are paying by the pound, you sure get your money's worth because these beasts are heavy. If you want enormous pans that are built to outlast your grandkids... you might like these. Just stock up on burn ointment, due to the horrible design of the lids. This is definitely form OVER function.

Great cookware! I have been really impressed with the Stack. Performance is excellent, as I had already expected from the product specifications. What I didn't expect to enjoy so much was the generous size of the pans. They are great for a family or group meal situation. I should also note that the detachable handle feels remarkably secure. Once they are in hand, you can shake or pour from the pan without concern. They are clearly well-engineered and durable.

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.

Disappointed in return policy! … I recently purchased a set of pots and pans on 12/29. They were received within a week. They were well packed and nicely presented - considering the price of the set they should be! We unpacked them to check out the stacking capability which is very nice. I used the smallest pot to boil water and was very surprised after one use how easily they become “scarred”…yes I know they can be cleaned with bar keepers. A couple of points - they are heavy! Seniors beware the removable handle is easy to use but if you don’t the metal pot “rings” get very hot. - requires two pot holders if you don’t use the handle. The pots are also very large scale. I realize they need to be to be stackable but the smallest is not your normal small saucepan nor are the frying pans at the bottom of the stack! After all of this I realized this set was not for us and I reached out to the vendor to return the set (at least all but the one pot that I used)! They are telling me that nothing is returnable since I used the one pot! Their site says you can return unused items but it doesn’t say - that applies to an entire set if you only use one part of a set! Had I known this I would have purchased one pot to test it out then decide if I want the rest (149 vs 1k) - so beware! They seem to apply the return policy at their discretion! By the way - the communication is all through email. No one answers the phone and voice messages are not returned! For this reason I am giving them a one star!
