How good is this set when compared with calphalon or cuisinart stainless steel cookware. In terms of quality, yrs of usage and anything else you fee

I bought the set to use in our RV because of the storage capability. I used it for 6 months while in Alaska and found it to be excellent and plan to buy another for our boat when we start cruising next winter. I have used Magma grills on the boat for over 20 years and knew the quality of their products and that is the deciding factor for choosing the cookware. I own a set of Cuisinart and like it too but you have to have a lot of space to store it. The Magma products are excellent and I highly recommend them.

I don't know if I can make an adequate direct comparison. My primary reason for purchasing this set was the very low space profile. I use this as the cookset on our (very cramped) sail boat. The detachable handles are a plus. I've only had the set for a one (?2) seasons but it seems very solidly built.

I have had the set for about a year now and use it for the RV that we bought. We have a Cuisinart stainless set for our home and it's very comparable. The nice thing is that it packs nicely since all the pots nest in each other and the detachable handles too! A much better buy than another set that I had seen.

I don't have experience to compare it with other high rated stainless steel, but I love this set. It is heavy duty and cleans up nicely. My favorite thing about this set is the way it stores so compactly in my storage space challenged kitchen.

I find it high quality stainless steel, no rust for me, oxidation with stainless is unheard of, what have you cooked or done with your cooker?

A lifetime guarantee. This All-Clad set would hold up in a restaurant kitchen. I have been totally satisfied with how evenly the pans heat and how easily they clean up. Also the lids are stainless steel too. It's ok to cook with them in the oven if the recipe calls for it.

Never heard of those brands. I chose Cuisinart because I've had 2 food processors that were good and I took a chance on their name. For the most part I'm happy with my choice, saucepans are good but everything sticks to the frying pans. Not sure if this is typical of SS. I had heard they weren't supposed to stick if heated enough but no matter what I try, everything sticks so I hardly use the frying pans. They are sturdy and heavy, though. Good luck.

Hi Mary. Unfortunately I have a gas range. However I will say that they are good pots and pans. The heat very evenly. They did discolor a bit however my dad said this is pretty typical for stainless steel. Overall a good set. Not sure about induction stoves though.

It's a much better product. It's like the difference between an average set and an elite set. Both are calphalon but one is far superior. I'd note though that nothing comes without issues. I love my unison set but it's a hassel to use it at times since the seal on the lids is so ...minimal.. I'm tired of steam leaking through the lids. This set also scratches very easily if you dont baby it. Make sure you oil it very often too otherwise it gets very dull looking. Very high maintenance set but it preforms well.

I'm not sure how the copper hard anodized will hold up because I've only had them a short time. However, I bought them to replace another set of comparable (though non-copper bottomed) Analon non-stick pots and pans and they held up _great_ for eight years of hard use. (I only replaced them because they went with the ex!) I anticipate the same for these.

Sorry, I bought the set as a gift for my son, I am not sure. It is very high quality cookware.

I had to toss my old copper-bottomed Revere Ware (warped, which I didn't notice on a non-glass top stove), and my grandmother's cast iron cookware (uneven on the outside). I now have a Cuisinart stainless steel set (copper in-between stainless), and use the Circulon Contempo pans for things like eggs (or when I just want an easy clean-up). They both work (the concentric ridges are inside the pan, not outside), with the Circulon being easier to clean, but slower to warm up, and Cuisinart being much more elegant to cook with. I have had the Circulon pans for about three years, with light use - they don't have a scratch on the, to my surprise (I don't use metal utensils with them, and I usually use a little oil).

What do you think? They're under a hundred and fifty bucks. I'm concerned about where my cookware is made too, and preferably I'd buy a $$$$ set that's made in USA that is "investment quality." However, I'm young, and money doesn't grow on trees, so right now I'd have to pick what's the best bang for the bucks.FYI: Consumer report rates this set higher than any other in the the uncoated cookware category. It's ranked higher than the made in USA brands.... something to consider.

I have had mine for well over a year and have no problems with the non stick quality. My husband is hard on my cookware and these have held up great. And they regularly go in my dishwasher!

The quality of this set is excellent including handles and lids. The only thing I struggle with is how heavy these pots are but they cook fantastic and worth the weight.

I bought this set of cookware and it's the best set I've ever owned. Lifetime warranty for original purchaser and has Vapor seal. It is absolutely the best quality I've ever owned. I just purchased an additional set for my nephew as a wedding gift. I show it off to guests like a new BMW. amy
