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.

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

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.

Beauty and Brawn in a Bitty Bit o' Space! Truly beautiful, well-made cookware! Had a hard time choosing my color but ultimately went with the navy blue... so pretty! Cooks like a dream with even heating (no hot spots) and high sides so no spillage. Solidly built. Amazing how much space I regained in my cabinets! Absolutely genius!

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.
