Are any pans included in this unit? Is the heat source the heat from the food (no electricity, etc)?.

Sort of. The heat needs to be much lower than you think. You need a generous spray of PAM. I am still figuring out the whole temperature issue. We have an electric stove. I preheat the pan with the heat on about 3 (lower heat). Spray with Pam when heated & add egg. Then I turn off heat because my husband likes them over medium. There's enough heat to cook it perfectly. But don't be stingy with the spray PAM.

Nope, sorry. :(I put in an induction cooktop, not thinking about the pans. Had to stop using my calaphalon and buy some new ones. Now, we're back to gas. I would gladly give up my calaphalon to go back to induction!

Hi, I did not pay attention to that, what is for sure, the pan's handle heat very easy because it does not have any plastic cover. Other thing is I saw the same cookware in $400 in a retail store.

No, but the lids were available and pretty cheap (I find it easier to just use AL foil though). Love these pans, use them all the time.

The small pans I ordered "Gourmet Chef Induction Ready", would not heat at all. When I inquired from the Vendor, I was advised to contact the manufacturer. Since I had no idea who the manufacturer was, I donated them to SPCA.

Mine didn't. I picked this set because I too didn't want any with a nonstick coating. The pots and frying pan are all metal.

No, but the temp is not as advertised. I ended up throwing it out a long time ago and buying a commercial grade fryer. More money but worth the investment.

No. There are vents but they are pre-made. They are small, you could plug them with something. The quality of the cookware is excellent overall though.

I think it has electric heating elements, but you should just contact customer service, they're very knowledgeable

Yes, there is a plastic insert that you put the food into to heat it. It is dishwasher safe and easy to clean.

it has a temp display; however what it shows is the temp that you have set it to. Not a display of the pan or food temp. Hope that helps you! It is a great device. Dave

Been in use for months....I've no complaints. Burning food is a result of not controlling the heat not the pan.
