Does the contemporary stainless steel pans weigh the same as the same size in the contemporary with non stick coating?

This pan is about the same weight, maybe a little lighter to handle. I bought this pan for my 80 year old Mother. She still has to cook or bake everyday. She wanted a nice pan that she could use on the stove top and in the oven. I 1st bought her a cheaper one. She did not know the cost of either pan. She hated the 1st pan. When she received this one, she started using it immediately. She is able to lift and carry it, and no longer worries about dropping pans with one handle. I am very pleased that she uses it as much as she does, and I am glad she likes it. You will not be sorry to have this awesome pot in your kitchen.

I believe it depends on the thickness of the pan. If it is the same thickness, the coating does not weigh much. This pan is not tri-ply so it does not weigh as much.

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.

They are close enough in weight that I don't think you would notice the difference if you held one in each hand.

The pans are not heavy but lose their lustre very soon. They look old before they actually are. Hope this helps

I have a few Farberware stainless pans from the 1950's and also a few from 2011. I can see no difference in them except that the comparable sizes are slightly different. And also, now some of the skillets are offered with a teflon interior. The newer versions come with a see-through lid which I much enjoy! I can say, my 1950's pans have withstood the test of time! The older ones definitely don't look "old"!

No, they are not non-stick pans. They are good quality stainless interiors. Because I like to brown certain foods at higher heats (something we are warned not to do in non-stick pans) I chose these pans. They are the best, most lightweight pans I have ever owned. And, though I have not had them long, I am extremely pleased with my purchase! Good Luck!

These pans are not a heavy duty stainless steel. The bottoms are flat, but same thickness as the rest of the pan. They work well for my everyday cooking.I like how easy they are to clean and don't worry about scratching. I hope this helps with your decision whether to buy or not.

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.

Hello, they're basically the same item. They both have the " full release " system a d are both hard anodized. The ones I have are brown and do far holding up pretty good. I got a few scratches here and there nothing major tho to effect the non stick. Please, ask any other questions you want. Take care, Paul

I have the 12-inch, and it isn't as heavy as an All-Clad, so that leaves it as a medium-weight, relative to other pans. Of significance though, is the handle, which by its design, makes this a well-balanced pan, so in any size, the pan wouldn't "feel" heavy.

No they are different . BUT I LOVE them best set of pand heat even and cook quick. So easy to clean !!! I do not like the tops for cleaning as well but the pans are easy. I do recommend this set.

I believe so they have the non stick coating on top of it though. They are not heavy if that's what you r getting at. If you want to check them out I know Walmart carries them and so does target hut they don't sell them in a big set like this.

Not positive but, If they're not the same they're almost exact. Love,love, love them! I spray letter with non stick cooking spray first and they come out so easily :-)

They used the same pictures as the 10.5" version because it looks identical to the 12.5" pan. The pan you receive should be the 12.5" model if it says so in the description. The 10.5" pan can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/T-fal-C8390564-Performance-Stainless-10-5-Inch/dp/B002HWRUF2/ref=pd_cart_recs2

I love these pans they are a very comfortable weight. The bottoms do have some weight to them because they are thick but certainly nothing like the cast iron cookware. I really bought them because they work on a induction cooktop stove which I recently purchased.

I was assured on the online environmental store MightyNest that they are solid 18/0 stainless steel and when they say "premium stainless steel coating" they are just trying to reassure that there's no Teflon or other non stick coatings on it.

I use non stick utensils to keep the coating in good shape. These pans are a great purchase.

Weight is light but not flimsy. I think you will be happy with them. I weighed the largest skillet just now. It's almost 3 pounds. Larger sauce pan is 2 1/2 pounds. Does that help?

Yes. That is a mistake. The pan is not at all that heavy. These pans are one of my best kitchen investments. I highly recommend them. And it makes me feel much safer to know that I am not adding any chemicals like teflon to my foods.
