Feb 2015; often weight of cookware changes over the years; cost-cutting measures, company acquisitions? Cookware same weight now?

Bruce, I have no idea where you got those prices. The 12 piece set sells at Sear's for $219.99 right now so your numbers seem high. I paid about $160 before taxes for my 10 piece set, wish I'd got the 12 piece. This cookware isn't magic but it is good, I love using it, highly recommended with the understanding, make the pans hot before adding the food. Good luck

Calphalon is not as heavy as cast iron pots but just as durable. Nonstick quality is the same besides outrageous price of cast iron dutch oven pots. Good luck!!

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.

The "N" edition is the same cookware. The only difference I can see is the seller.

My mother got a set of Revere copper-bottomed pots and pans when she married in 1945. When I married in the 1970s, she thought she was giving me the same set. The saucepans are so light that the weight of the handles makes them fall right off the stove when they are empty. This happened to my mom once when she was visiting me and using my cookware. She was startled and saddened that that's what she had bought me. If you can find a set that dates to the 1940s at an auction, on-line auction site, yard sale, etc., you will really have something, but steer clear of the newer sets.

Thanks for the info! I broke my old 1 1/2 quart corningware -- and didn't realize the new stuff wasn't safe on the stove top. Why did they change a good thing?

Besides the fact that my basic Unison set cost $799? I wish I knew because my Unison coating has peeled and the pans have warped at heats of MEDIUM and lower!!! Caution on ANY Calphalon!

I have a few Farberware stainless pans from the 1950's and also a few from 2011. I can see no difference in them except that the comparable sizes are slightly different. And also, now some of the skillets are offered with a teflon interior. The newer versions come with a see-through lid which I much enjoy! I can say, my 1950's pans have withstood the test of time! The older ones definitely don't look "old"!

It's on Amazon. 18/10 Gorham is an excellent brand. I worked in their market research dept and am aware of what is meant by "weight." It has nothing to do with how much the flatware weighs; it is the percentage of certain elements used in the manufacture of the stainless. 18/10 is a better weight.

I got mine in 2011 and still about the same in 2015.It all depends on care and how you utilize the pot to cook. Higher temperatures are a no-no for this type of nonsticks. The same goes for the use of metal utensils. The other part of longevity goes to how you care for your pot when carrying out cleaning. What products and devices you employ to clean it have a great impact on the surfaces (inside and out).The one thing to always keep in mind, is never to use metal utensils! Never use abrasive devices to clean it. Be gentle with the pot, even as it looks sturdy and strong, it's also quite possible to dent it and damage it.

depends on the piece. larger pots have a heavy bottom for even cooking. had mine for at least 40 years, wouldn't haveanything else (I've tried a few along the way) After all these years, I still think Farberware is the best. Don't know about the new (non-stick) skillets.

We loved our original set so much we added to it this year.It wears well and just looks better with time. Our newer set is not quite as heavy(18/10 weight as the original (18/8 but is close- Reed & Barton no longer carries the heavier weight. Definitely worth the cost- jut be sure to check the description. we sent one set back as it a newer version with a small change to the pattern. grooves appear to be stamped and didn't have the depth or go all the way around utensil.

You will have to ask the supplier at the time of sale I suspect. As they rotate their stock these values may change.

I don't think so...I have a set from my wedding 16 years ago and it is marked "18/10 stainless" on the handles. These new ones are just marked "stainless steel" and have a bit of a lighter weight than the older ones. Not a significant difference from the old ones though and the pattern is exactly the same.
