Are these pans better suited for one person or a family of 4 like mine? I cook large meals for the holidays so my pans need to be suited for this.

These are average sized pans. They are not top quality but they do the job. I paid 58.00 for my set and I'd say that this was a deal for them. They are lighter weight and non stick. I would definitely say these are for a young couple just starting out. You'd probably want to get something a little more heavy duty for your family. Just my opinion:)

Maybe you should buy a 11 pieces set. I have a family of 4 just like you and it suits well. However in some occasions I feel like I needed at least one piece more.

This is Ken over at Nurturing Planet. I cannot say for sure that you will find the mitts perfect for you. I have had a very few ladies with very small hands say that they love the mitts, but that they find them unwieldy, and have returned them. I would say that if anyone else will use them besides you, then you will find them a very good compromise for a "multiple person" kitchen. I would suggest you try them. Returns are not a problem, and you can get all your money back if they just don't work well for you. Looking forward to your decision. :)

In my experience they handle high heat cooking better than cast iron pans (I own these as well). They are much less likely to scorch.

Get the 6 quart if you cook for a family. I got the 4 quart and it's just enough for my husband and I with a little left over for lunch the next day.

Yes. They are quite flexible and provide protection from the heat of the pan. It's possible that you might want to double them up depending how hot the pan is.

I used these for individual chicken pot pies and individual meat pies. I had a small casual dinner party and served individual chicken pot pies that night. These were perfect. Some of the ladies even commented on the pans saying they were a perfect size and where did I find them. Leftover pies are easy to reheat. They hold two average soup ladle of filling. Hope this helps you make your decision.

I wouldn't call it a fit. They will sit just inside the rim of the saute pans and I have used them this way.

These pans are very well made. I do not use them as heavily as you will be, but I think that, compared to other pans I have used, I would trust these to hold up to heavy use. other pans feel much more flimsy than these. Hope this helps!

Well, my sister is the one that bakes. She makes her cakes in a regular house oven and they are perfect. But she also uses some ingredients and other methods with this pans that she won't share. Sorry if it wasnt much help.

I think they would. I use them for home baking, but I bought them because they are good and heavy. And they definitely have heft to them. they're the nicest pans I have, and well worth the price.

I have used the pans. It was fun using these. One problem is the cake will make 4 (2) layer cakes. You get 4 pans and will have to make these in 2 batches unless you buy another set of pans. The recipe calls for a regular cake mix and you just split the batter between the pans. Glad I bought them. It's a little different for me.

Yes they should.You may have to fix 2 pans to feed 40 people. I have made a pineapple casserole and carried it with me and reheated it. Can not put in oven over 400 degrees.I bake casseroles and cakes in mine all the time.Of course you can not put the lid in the oven. Hope this helps.

I use the as occasional pans. I have had these for years and have not had any problems of the sort.

We have had these pans for a few months, I think they are great. They don't stick, and are very easy to clean. The only thing is, you are suppose to hand wash them. Other than that, I think they are a lot better than Teflon. Expensive but worth it.

Yes great. You can do 8 at one time. Just DO NOT use anything but a metal spatula and cook over low heat. The griddle gets very hot.
