Is difficult to remove your cookware from the hooks? Seems to me that unless the pans were very widely spaced apart it would be hard to take one off without banging against other pans. Thanks!

It takes a little effort to move some of the pans around to get at the one pan you want, BUT it is significantly easier (and quieter) to get at a specific pan than it is without the Glideware Cookware Organizer.

No, its very easy. I love my glideware. I am ordering another one for my broom closet.

It's not difficult to remove other than you sometimes have to hold the hook. Yes, you may touch the other pans but they are not tight together. Don't think you are going to get your pans tight like staking them. See the picture with the lids - I only have 5 pans w/lids and it's full.

I don't think so. You just lift a little to get the pan or pot off. There is contact but it's not like banging.

You should be able to, there isn't a hole like on the infinite series of cookware, but there is a small nook on the underside at the tip that a hook would be able to catch on. I don't see it being as stable as handles with holes though. Check closely on the first stock photo. Zoom in near the upper left on the tip of the pan handle that is upside down.

No, the hooks I received with mine would not handle double stacking. The hooks are kind of cheap and move around easily; somewhat difficult to reach and try to hook a pan on. Suggest purchasing a higher quality hook. The rack is very nice.

I have an electric stove. I have no slipping or sliding and these tops are very similar to the gas grates. Can you stir without holding the pan? I don't know, I always am holding the pan. My answer would be as long as you are holding the pan they are great. I have had my set for several months and I would buy them again in a heartbeat...

I have multiple rolling pins, mixers, meat cleaver, and so many other kitchen tools that are extremely heavy, all hanging on mine. I wouldn't hesitate to hang my iron cookware on there if the urge hit me. And who knows? One of these days, it just might!

personally I think they are separate but the best damn pan I have, you will love it...heavy metal equals product cooking fast and I do have to say I have greased to make removal easier no problem and they clean easily

Lisa...I've never had to season any of my 3 skillets before use. I really like these skillets. Don't get them too hot. No need to do that. They distribute heat very evenly. After cooking something such as scrambled eggs, you may need to soak the pan briefly in hot, soapy water and use a teflon pad to get any residual food off. Some people report difficulty with this, but I follow the manufacturer's instructions and have never had any trouble getting any of my skillets back to a "brand new" condition as far as cleanliness. Best, Susan

We own a whole set of these. Never had that problem as long as you don't grab the handle too close to the base(pan)

The pans are excellent! They can be stacked or nested. I usually stack mine. I love that they don't allow any sticking. Superb choice for pans!

I had the same poor experience. Kept trying different things for months. Different heat, different oils, adding oil after the pan heated, etc. etc. After rubbing the skin off my finger for the 4th time trying to clean the stuck-on stuff off (even AFTER soaking all night) I figured it just wasn't worth it.

Im sorry. Can't help you there. I have the regular set and love it. Some of the pans i have used for 15 years and some just the little over a year.

Inside or outside of the pan? I've used FARBERWARE Cookware for many years and never had a problem as described. I scrub my stubborn stains with Barkeepers Friend, works every time!

You need to use a soft cloth or soft brush (Oxo has one designed for Teflon pans). Stack them with paper towel in between or better yet don't stack them at all. I've had mine a year, no scratches and easily the best set we've ever had. Just treat them nicely and they will last. Only wish the mid size pot was a little bit bigger, but overall a great buy.

The pans aren't non-stick surfaced, so they're not that easy, but like good quality stainless steel they do come clean with a little soaking or with a mild scouring pad. Try Barkeepers Friend cleaning powder which is terrific stuff---better cleaning stainless than Ajax or Comet or Bon Ami. Overall the pans have been great. Recommended.

Cleaning is not difficult. I always hand wash it however, I have not tried to use the dishwasher. It cleans easily. I actually have two pans - one at my primary home and one at a second home. I made the mistake of leaving one of them on the cooktop with the burner left on after cooking french toast. It damaged the pan in a way that browned the cook surface. I cannot get it cleaned back to the original look, but I see that as a problem I caused - not the manufacturer. The burned pan still works perfectly fine - it just doesn't look as nice as a new pan.

Are you using any type of cooking spray- if so, stop and clean pan well. These are made NOT to use sprays. Rinsing extremely well with as hot of water as possible after washing with soapy water is a must. I would very lightly "grease pain with butter", but very lightly. This may prevent further sticking. Hope this helps. I've not had any trouble so far.

I didn't find it particularly difficult to get the labels off. Just slip your finger nails underneath the label to remove it. If you find it particularly tough, try running hot water over the label to remove it and make sure to always wash with soap all cooking items before cooking with them. Good luck!
