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.

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++

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.

Repeat experience as good as the first This was my second order because I really love the cookware and wanted to gift it. My first set is over 2 years old and it still is shiny and cooks like a dream. I got a second set as a gift and my friends love it too. Customer service is always helpful and were able to ship an order as a priority before Christmas. Highly recommend!

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.
