are these pans heavy

They are not "heavy" like cast iron, but feel solid and the large pan handles better if you use both hands.

They are a good weight, comparable to other gourmet type tri-ply pans ( such as Calphalon)

Can't tell but, these pans are nice and heavy. They just discolor if u put them in the dishwasher.....but beside that, I love the size and how sturdy they are. I use them pretty much.

no, they are heavy and do not move. I cook on a gas range with grating and it's great. I love this cookware! Nice and heavy with heavy glass tops. And there is plenty of cookware. You only need this set.

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 :)

If you don't like heavy pans, look for something else. Without the lid I estimate this pans weighs something close to 2.5 lbs. Most of the weight is in the handle and with the added weight of the lid and what ever it is you're preparing, this pan can be quite a handful. Other than the weight issue these pans have performed fantastically and I love cooking with them!

The pans are not heavy but lose their lustre very soon. They look old before they actually are. Hope this helps

If you equate heaviness with quality then that they are. Though not 'burdensome heavy' to make them difficult to handle. Not knowing what you term 'heavy' I can certainly say they are not light. Another thing to know, they do not take to microwaving well. I found that with overuse they can become wavy at the outer edge. I simply don't microwave them. Overall, very happy with the product.

They are weighted. Are they solid? That's a good question. They are not cheaply made, I'm happy with the set. I've seen more expensive that I didn't like as much.

They're pretty heavy, but not as heavy as cast iron. They work great on gas burners.

Yes, they are. I have not had a problem. I am not sure about the weight but they are heavy enough.

It seems like it is solid. It certainly is heavy. I really like the set. They clean well in the dishwasher. I use them for everyday use.

They are not as heavy as cast iron. As for "too light", that's for you to decide, as you've given an entirely subjective question. They should work with all cooking heat sources. I got them for induction, but they work fine on the electric range as well.

I love these pans they are a very comfortable weight. The bottoms do have some weight to them because they are thick but certainly nothing like the cast iron cookware. I really bought them because they work on a induction cooktop stove which I recently purchased.

I don't really know how to respond to that without being objective but I would say that they have their weight to them without being too heavy. (And with this I am referring to the larger pieces.) I would tell you that if you are interested in this set, I've owned mine for 8 months now and they still look brand new and I use these pretty much every day. Hope this helps.

They're not particularly lightweight but I wouldn't say they are unusually heavy. To me, they're just the same heaviness of your average larger-sized mug. They're not any weightier than the other mugs in my cupboard.

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.
