How do these pots & pans feel as far as weight goes? Are they really light likeMainstays 10-Piece Non-stick Cookware Set? Those are too light.

As described, the cookware is high quality professional, not light weight at all. My wife uses them on an induction range. Her only complaint is that the handles are not insulated.

I really like the weight, not too heavy and not too light; they are just right.

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.

They are fairly heavy. They have however started loosing the non stick stuff even though guarenteed not to.

Hello!they are not to heavy in my opinion and i'm really weak lol. They are definitely good quality and they aren't too light to feel cheap but not too heavy that is hard to manipulate them while cooking or doing dishes. I hope it helps!

They are not as heavy as our Fiestaware, nor are they as durable. They are lighter than most stoneware-tupe sets I have owned in the past. They are beautiful.

They aren't very heavy, but they certainly are not too light. I would say they are just normal weight for dishes. I love mine.

I'm not sure what planet you all are from? Maybe some place where gravity is 2X that of Earth? So these might feel "light" to you, but I've got news for you, they are not extra light. They weigh about a pound each. The description even says that. I just got mine and they are really nice looking and solid, but they are NOT light. I've done multiple hikes in the past with other, more expensive poles that ARE light. Having said that, I'll give these a try since they appear solid and I was too cheap to buy the more expensive, LIGHT ones.

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

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 would say they are more light weight, but not too light. I have a set of heavier ones from Costco and these are lighter than those. For basic cooking they would be fine, but might be prone to denting if used harshly.

Also, I have been very happy with my cookware. While the copper on the side does seem questionable, the weighted bottom of the pots and pans cook very evenly and well and I find them good quality. I clean them with Bar Keepers Friend and I put paper towels between each pot to protect them from scraping when in the cupboard.

I would say more lightweight- I am surprised how much I like them. Not overly expensive but seem to be the right sizes for mixes and recipes. I have some stoneware bowls that weigh a ton- these are easy to manage.

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.

This pan is a great pan for one pot dinners. It is not an overly hot pan, so it can stand adding several ingredients over time. The pan is fairly lightweight, we both have wrist weaknesses, and it is easy to move around. The lid does add some weight to the pan because it is a metal rimmed heat resistant glass. The double handle adds more stability for carrying and dump transfer. We have bought several of these and they are all still going strong. So yes this pan should be light enough for the situation described and heavy enough to not be to hot to use to cook.

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:)

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.

No. I have osteo-arthritis in my hands and these are light enough for me to handle comfortably.I think the covers are heavier than the pots/pans! But they are fine too. Good luck!

I don't have a scale at home. but, feels like the same weight as lodge 12" pan, or even lighter. This wok is not heavy.

They are lightweight. I caution you on the shipping, I ordered 3 sets and 2 of them were broken, 1 set I keep as it was the small plate, the other set was broken to pieces. Good luck!

Definitely not too light, but maybe 25% lighter than cast iron at the same size. Work great on gas burners. Unfortunately, the non-stick property of the ceramic surface does seem to fade over time. I primarily use my cast iron these days, though these still work fine with some oil...
