Is this cookware set heavy?

no they are not heavy like some aluminum clad, they are very similar to sets from the 70's

I'm not sure what constitutes "heavy..." It seems the same weight as any other pots and pans I've used; the same as my old T-Fal teflon pots and pans. I can tell you that when I'm filling up the larger saucepan with water, it does become heavy and difficult to hold because of the shape and size of the handle. My old T-Fals had straight and thick handles, these are thinner and curved. I also find I have to use a potholder (for cushioning) and two hands when I want to use a strainer to dump water out of my pasta. This could also be because the saucepan holds more water than my old ones used to. If you're asking if they're flimsy... no, they are nice and sturdy. Hope that was some help, at least.

No, Farberware is user friendly. I consider cast iron pots and pans heavy,but not Farberware. I use mine every day! Its all I've ever used in my 42 years of marriage.

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.

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.

It is not so cumbersome that it feels heavy when using the pieces, but, yes, they are a heavier set. I have not had any bending with any of the pieces. They are still beautiful after many months of every day use. I love them, and will order another set soon.

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.

Heavier than my old Revere ware but a delight to cook with. Comparable to Calphalon weight. Hope this helps.

Hi Kathy, I don't find the dishes to be heavy. I had stoneware before that was very heavy but these seem to be the same weight as a normal dish....not as light as Corelle though. Hope this helps. Lisa

Absolutely! This is great quality cookware with wonderful heat distribution. Not lightweight, by any stretch of the imagination. Would be wonderful for a small kitchen with very little storage space, because it all nests together, even the extra colander basket and non-stick saute skillet. The only reason they are not in my indoor kitchen is that I use primarily 12 inch skillets to cook on a daily basis, to allow for more volume. I can definitely recommend this set for household use. You may need an extra handle, if it's your only cookware.

It is a nice, heavy weight. My previous set was heavier by a little bit, but it was a $300.00 set in the 1970's, and this one can definitely compare well. I am very pleased with it.

Yes, they are, as a set, heavy. The individual bowls are fairly thick and durable but not unusually heavy. I've dropped a couple and no breakage. Very solid.

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.

Not sure exactly, but it's not light - all the flatware is solid and heavy, except the butter knives which are hollow but still balanced. I'd say a couple pounds at least.

No, it really is pretty light, nothing like a heavy cast iron skillet. I use the wok at least twice a week and the way it conducts heat makes it well worth the extra price. I highly recommend it.

not at all. but then I use this on the induction stove, so I don't know if that makes a difference. But this has been one of the best quality pans I've bought in a long time without weighing a ton. Everything I've cooked in it so far has come out perfect and it's easy to clean.

This is not a cast iron pan, so if it is just the pan, it is not too heavy: however, it does have a large capacity so the pan can be very heavy and you may need someone to remove it for you. I do like the pan and use it regularly, but my family is large, so it's a good fit.

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

I like this cookware because it's less toxic to cook with and I live at a higher elevation which requires me to see into the cookware with ease. It is slightly heavier than other pots and pans but I like the weight. Good luck.

It is heavier than non stick. But not as heavy as traditional cast iron. I would say weight is not that much an issue

Not heavy at all but definitely has weight. I love this entire set but the salad bowls are like serving bowls.
