Just how heavy are these pans? Please, can someone weigh the pan(s)? Would they be difficult for Mom with arthritis to lift?

Pan is very heavy. I love the pan but my husband has to help me with it frequently. As a result of carpal tunnel problems I don't have the strength in my wrists to handle it.

yes, they can be a bit hard to turn. My mom had arthritis I her hands, too. She would have difficulty with theses knobs.

I would not consider them heavy. Cast Iron is much heavier but cheap alumium is lighter. To me, they are just right.

This pan is a nice solid pan. It weighs more than your less expensive aluminum pans weigh but that is because it is made very well. I have the whole set and I love these pans. The pan you have in question is a much safer pan because it has an additional grab handle on the other side of the long handle. It makes it much easier to lift the pan with the food inside thus giving you even leverage. I think it will be okay to get for anyone who is still cooking meals. You can always return the pan if she has a hard time with it. You probably may want to keep it for yourself.

No. I have osteo-arthritis in my hands and these are light enough for me to handle comfortably.I think the covers are heavier than the pots/pans! But they are fine too. Good luck!

These mugs are very heavy... They are too heavy for my mother who has extreme arthritis in her hands! I use mine for hot beverages, soups and stews and they wash up very easily.

You are so kind to respond. The pans look terrific! I'm considering them for my niece who is setting up a household while she attends graduate school. I'm in charge of making her kitchen wonderful to keep her on-track to graduation. I think these are perfect. Thank you.

I wouldn't call them heavy. They have the weight of stone wear. They aren't particularly light either. If you need a lightweight dish a thin China or corelle brand dishes may be best

Hi K, all I know is that they are the best pans I have ever had. The handles are great and they are completely non stick. Take care, J

You would have to push them on an angle for them to scratch a pan. They have a nice weight. I think I got more than what I paid for . I would buy them again!

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.

They aren't heavy. As for size I'm not sure why people are saying they're "too small".... It really depends on what you want to use them for. I bought them for ice cream and I think they're the perfect size for a normal serving.

Hello Roxann....no they are not heavy at all. Very sturdy. There is a heaviness in this regards as a quality product.

I couldn't use my wall scale to weigh the plates, but I bought the set because of its weight - I have bad arthritis in my thumbs and hands and I wanted something nice and durable, but not too heavy. I would say the weight is in the medium range - not really heavy, but not as light as fine bone china.

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.

Don't know exact weight (they are in our home in TN) but I suffer from arthritis and have no problem using them.
