I looked over the specs because I was curious, however there is no rated specification for weight of items placed on this unit. I will say this thing is built like a tank, I used it every day...its amazing.

The heaviest item I've put on it was probably around 5 lbs (a pot full or chili). I can't imagine that weight would cause any damage to it. it's a good little burner and well worth the price. Good luck!

They are very specific about NOT using this on glasstop cookstove a due to the weight

The 59 pounds must be a typo. While I can't provide an exact weight for the can, I'd estimate that it weighs no more than 15 pounds empty.

The bottom of the pot has extra cladding that gives it some weight. The top is the same as the sides of the pan. it has a rim to keep it in position but no extra weight. The tops handle gets hot before the pot handles. I've used this pot several times a week for a long time and I still love it.

For what it's worth, I homebrew with a bayou classic 1046 142 quart pot as a brew kettle (it's significantly heavy when empty). Although I had bricks in place, apparently much of my weight was on the burner. It flexed on me after running high heat for quite some time and roughly 25 gallons of wort in it. The bricks picked up and supported the weight. I now use cinder blocks positioned around it to support the pot and make sure it is up off the burner. Just be careful. If you're worried, get some extra support and set your mind at ease.

Praj; I have not put anything that big on mine. I would wonder about the weight aspect. I have used large fry pans and cast iron but nothing that big. this cooktop is great so give it a try .... I would .....

We use a 6 qt. steel pot, nearly full, with no problem. Also a large cast iron skillet. I can't imagine that a heavy weight would damage it, unless dropped on it. About the heat settings: it is geared for fast heating of lots of water. For anything else, including frying, anything above 3 is too hot. Simmer is "1". The larger the pan the higher the setting can be as the energy is spread over a larger area.

The specs list the max weight per shelf as 90lbs. It's a very sturdy shelving unit, so pots and pans (cast iron or not) will not prove to be an issue.

weight may be the problem when filled with water it could break the stove top

Per the user manual it states the maximum user weight is 300 pounds; 600 pounds total including the user and the added weight.

This is the first set of Cuisinart cookware I bought. So I can not tell you about relative weights. But it's worth the price if you are looking for real non stick cookware. It is the best I have ever used. If I had more room I would get more pans in the series.

I have several that I use to hold pots and pans. One holds two large Corning Ware roasting pans that weigh a total of 12.5 pounds. I have others holding dinnerware that weighs at least as much. Have had no problem with any of them.

does not weigh 19 pounds, less than 5 pounds. Good typical skillet, don't know if it can be used on a glass ceramic cooktop.

About 20 lbs. But it is a superb wok with very even heat. I give it 10 out of 10.

I am not positive but the weight of the pots and pans are the best I have ever used. I have purchased 4 additional sets for gifts. For the money you will not find a better product
