Are they heavy pans, with a thick bottom?

They have some heft but are not heavy like my 10" iron skillet. The bottom thickness is totally adequate for frying eggs, potatoes, or a grilled cheese sandwich without burning. The quality is very good.

They are not lightweight. They are great, nesting, durable and substantial stainless steel. I bought a set for my 31 foot fishing boat. They take up little space and include all pans that I need to cook with and I am a foodie.

It does have a heavy bottom. The sides are neither thick nor thin, just standard sturdy for a cookpot.

I believe they are heavy in a "good way". They feel very solid, not cheap at all. I use them every day and am very satisfied with the way they cook. I am not good at estimating weight....but as I said, to me they feel very solid.

Yes they are. One warning, however... Water takes FOREVER to boil in these pots. Wonderfully heavy pans but not terribly heat conductive. Plan on lots of extra time to cook your meal.

i personally think it would be too heavy. I did a BBQ and was glad to use the pans the bbq place gave me. They were thicker. But you can buy a better tray to use with this set. I am still glad I bought the set.

Yes...flat bottom and heavy gauge stainless. I bought these as gifts and it is better than my AllClad pan.

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.

Yes. So far the coating has held up very well, but they are lightweight pans as you would expect, so definitely not as thick of nonstick coating as other types of kitchen pans.

Substancial. Not heavy as in cast iron, but not as light as aluminum. foods would not readily burn on the bottom. I think they are good quality and I am a cook! M

These are a good heavy skillet. Sides aren't quite the right angle but nice. The handles are heavy. Hope that answers your question.

Depends on what you think is thick. My old set was a cheap aluminum and was decades old. These are a dream compared to them and I think they are plenty thick bottomed. Also you can always get your money back if you don't like them. But I think you will!!

They are quite big and heavy. I do love them but they are hard to store. I use them a lot as a round platter. Also they need to be placed on a slant in the dishwasher. Even so the set I feel is very nice, I love them but can't say my family feels the same way :)

Please note that these pans are THE best but Yes they are heavy and if your mama has difficulty picking up a frying pan with one hand then Circulon is too heavy for her.
