are these pans lighter than the multiclad pro stainless steel pans?

I don't believe so, but I returned them because we had kitchen remodeling to do and I was concerned about caring for them. My recollection is that the stainless were lighter, but both are lovely.

Yes, they are, i have both commercial & amazon purchases. they are the same weight and durability. like any non-stick they will wear/scratch over time and how used. i highly recomend and do purchase them for my kids as they move out of the house!

The rivets are stainless and do not corrode. The Cuisinart Multiclad Pro products are very. very good, I highly recommend them. But stick with the Multiclad Pro, the lower priced Cusinart products are good, but not this good.

The only thing I know is that according to the cuisinart website you cannot use metal utensils with the multi-clad pro line. Also the set comes with smaller size pans that aren't applicable to daily use for a family. The classic is supposed to be lighter in weight and supposedly doesn't conduct great as evenly. But I do not have personal experience with these pans to give you my opinion.

The most obvious difference is that the French Classic Line is manufactured in France, while the MultiClad Pro line is manufactured in China. I can attest to the quality of the French Classic cookware as being outstanding. I have yet to find any multi-clad cookware manufactured in China that looks or performs as well over time.

light weight compared to my other pans. Durable and I really use them frequently

I have the multi-clad set. I believe the difference is that the aluminum core extends up the sides of the pan with the multi-clad, whereas the chef's Classic has aluminum only on the bottom. Multi-clad pros: more even heating. Cons: higher price and heavy. Hope that helps.

I think the answer you need to hear is YES. However, the heating mechanics involve a lot more than stainless vs copper. These will heat up and retain heat just as well as the Emeril copper pans (no appreciable difference). They can heat differently than the typical triple-clad or multi-ply copper pots and pans (and in my opinion, better--particularly with glass-top ranges)

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.

All my pans and pots are stainless steel. Cooking at times for someone else in her house using her non stick coated cookware I would just guess that they weigh about the same. The contemporary stainless steel is maybe a touch lighter. Easy to lift, but heavy enough for pot roast and easy to clean.

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.

Matte finish with a metallic glow ! weight is perfect for me feels like the weight of good stainless without the sticking of food. I really love these pans. I wish that they had more open stock of sizes . You'll enjoy cooking and clean up.

They are not as heavy as our Fiestaware, nor are they as durable. They are lighter than most stoneware-tupe sets I have owned in the past. They are beautiful.

no,it is very light to me,better than those heavy pan sets you see in the stores that have the designer names,although,those sets are very good,but high priced to me and they are very heavy very good quality if you are cooking many meals every day.But for normal home use , the Farberware set is the way to go.

The pans are very light. An additional benefit with my arthritis. Just have to remember to keep heat low as liquids are absorbed/cooked off very quickly.

They are light and easy to use. My husband loves non stick pans since he is the cook but we also have Cuisinart stainless steel pots and pans that I love and use often. Light and easy to clean.
