Are these heavier? Some of the drip pans are tinny, and don't last very long.

The pans are fairly sturdy, but certainly not the heavy duty chrome I remember from decades ago. They do fit flawlessly, but the main shortcoming is that the finish gets discolored if you heat the coil on the highest setting. For the price, I think they are a good deal. And I have a back-up set to put in place if I want to impress relatives and friends with a pristine range top.

When I first got my set, they seemed to be a bit shiny, possibly a light finish. It quickly wore off after a few uses. The handles are still shiny though.

I can't find any reference to metal content, but it is a little heavier than the 2 qt. Cuisinart I have. I needed pots with the heavy clad bottoms for my glass top stove, and these are perfect. I now have a pretty complete set. I've found the handles get a little warm, but not really hot. Check first, of course.

They are not as heavy as say a steel or cast iron skillet. I use them on an electric stove and have no trouble at all. It is a nice set of pans. Hope this helps.

They aren't heavy, just bulky. So, you lose a lot of the dexterity of your fingers, which was the whole reason I bought them for. It's easier to use silicone pot holders.

They do request you not use high temps. It holds temps well. We don't use high temps for cooking. I don't think the pans are overly heavy.

They are light and easy to use. My husband loves non stick pans since he is the cook but we also have Cuisinart stainless steel pots and pans that I love and use often. Light and easy to clean.

They don't weigh any more than other brands but I have found with the ones I purchased all leak water from the bottom. I used tap water straight from the well as they instruct and they still leak. Try Kenmore or some other brand. They are cheaper and hold up better.

They are not particularly lightweight, as one would expect from good cookware. But they're not cast iron, either. I use mine on a propane stove on my boat and it's great. Space is at a premium so small size was important to me. I recommend this set without reservation.

Hi Jacqueline,That's a matter of individual perspective. I would not think that they're much heavier than a regular coffee mug - if at all. And they are certainly not fragile. I don't think anyone will notice a difference in weight. ENJOY!

They are incredibly thick, I'd say even "commercial" thickness. Now this doesn't mean baking for a few days in a blast furnace won't do it, but I think you'd be surprised how heavyweight they really are.

The cookware has a matt finish. Is it a heavy well that is relavent to what. It's lighter than lets say a cast iron pan. But heavy enough. They are well made and look good. So go for it. Happy cooking

I too am unsure of the exact thickness of the pans. They have a good weight to them, but not incredibly heavy. All of my food cooks evenly and I do not experience "hot spots" in the pans, no food has burnt and they are wonderful with non stick. Clean up is always easy, no hard scrubbing needed even on the messiest foods. I would recommend these for anyone wanting a nice set of pots and pans :)

No, they are pretty light weight. They are used in our vacation rental, so I have only used a few times. However, they cook great & do wash well in the dishwasher. Happy cooking!

I don't believe so, but I returned them because we had kitchen remodeling to do and I was concerned about caring for them. My recollection is that the stainless were lighter, but both are lovely.

No they are not, the base of the pans from the set are thicker, this just have a thinner coating. I havent gotten my induction cooktop yet, so cant tell if they work

They are not heavy like cast iron. More like a good quality metal pan. I've used them for over a year now and am well satisfied.
