how thick is is the aluminum construction of these pans?

The pans are not flimsy in the least. They are very strong, and seem to be very good quality so far.

The dimensions of this pans is 18.75″ H x 12.25″ W x 6.5″ D, 9.5 lbs. But according to the reviews, these are of great quality and surely will last for years.

I only checked them out before giving them to my mom as a gift. Seemed solid.

If the question you really want answered is are these pans as heavy as others that are offered at slightly higher prices then it is no. These pans are a bit thinner than most of the other commercial pans that I have used. I do not use them in a rough manner but have had the corners bend a couple of times. The lids warp for a time when exposed to higher temps but will eventually flatten out. These would likely be apperpo for light duty but over the long term will fall short of satisfaction... Mine did.

Yes, we have had this set for over a year now and we cook just about every day. The pans have held up well and the lids fit. I will say they aluminum is "thin" and by that I mean it can dent if you really slam it or jam it up against another pan. But to date we only have one dented piece and it didn't adversely chip the coating.

The pan is aluminum and is coated with Teflon. They are very heavy pans and do a fine job of cooking. We use a little olive oil in them, even tho they are Teflon. We are very satisfied with them. The main object is to not get them too hot, just like any other pan.

Do you mean thick? They are as big as the heating plate, but about an inch thick.

It's plain solid through anodized aluminum. There is no better quality pan out there. Top of the line. I've owned everal expensive and not so expensive"name brand" sets of pans and this by far my favorite! I've been a chef in and out of the restaurant business for 22 years and have had lots of opportunity to try all kinds of pans before purchasing for myself. I don't think you would be disapointed.

Maybe a quarter of an inch thick. I have a marble countertop that I'm very protective of and the work great to set hot pans straight from the stovetop or oven on.

They do not say. They are not cast iron. They feel heavier and sturdier than aluminum, but they are coated with "Calphalon" top and bottom so there is no visual of the metal. My guess would be steel, but that's just a guess.

I believe they at 3/8 of an inch thick. They are quite heavy and substantial. I used them in my Master bathroom, and it turned out beautifully.

It's a great quality pan with even hear dispersion. I would say it's definitelu thicker than most. I know what you mean and it is not one of the thin bottom pans

They have some heft but are not heavy like my 10" iron skillet. The bottom thickness is totally adequate for frying eggs, potatoes, or a grilled cheese sandwich without burning. The quality is very good.

We use these to put under hot pans when we camp. They are about 3/8" thick and we are on our second year of use. We have been quite happy with them. They would break, of course, if subjected to stress as they are cork, but for a hot pad, they are great. We are so glad we have them. Hope this helps.

Sorry, don't know. The pans don't say but I like them very much. They are good quality.

I would say they are at least 1/8 inch thick maybe a bit more. Sturdy knife that holds up well. I actually take off the cord which will fray and grind down the nub that holds the cord in place. Cheapest thrower out there that is heavy enough for me.

The panels are a composite and are thin but strong. So I'd say about 1/8" thick but they are braced between metal cross pieces.

They aren't very thick and are small, 6 1/2", but the pan is non-stick which is why I bought it.

They are aluminum. They are more than big enough for baked potatoes. They are 4 1/4 in deep
