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.

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.

ENSEMBL's products address so many of… ENSEMBL's products address so many of the pain points of other cookware. The pans' large size makes it easy to cook large portions evenly. The detachable handles make it easy to stack the pots and pans in my drying rack, cabinets and fridge. The set also looks amazing: elegant, original and playful.

Very good quality Very good quality. Like the detachable handles and fold down handles and like the markings for quantity held. Don like that several are way too big, larger than standard.

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?
