Likely long-lasting, but hard to clean I haven't used all the pots and pans yet, but I have enjoyed them. They are heavy and I imagine they will last a long time. However, water, soap and scum gets into the lids under the handle and along the edge, which is very difficult to clean.

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.

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?

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++
