These are not heavy bottomed pot and pans; they are light weight but not cheap in their construction. Heats evenly and cleans easily. The lid handles do get hot, which is something I didn't have to contend with on my previous set (brief learning curve there). The dishwasher seems to dull the exterior finish, but doesn't affect the cooking surface. I've used these a little more than a month. Overall I'm pleased.

After bargaining with my daughter that if I bought them a new set of pots and pans they'd throw out the mishmash of junk they currently had I was on a quest for the best bang for my buck and I bought this 15pc set in Gray... it's really nice and fairly heavy which gives me the confidence of knowing they'll enjoy using it for a long time.

This is a beautiful set, but not what I wanted. Not dishwasher safe. Handles were cool to touch but lid handles required an oven mitt. There was no very small saucepan, but a lot of large pieces for a large family... too many for me and not the right size for 1 or 2 people.

Very nice set of cookware and lids. Heats up fast and cooks hotter than what we are used to. Just watch your heat with these. Have used them to saute meat, then go directly with lid into a 350 degree oven. Worked just fine. We haven't put them into the dishwasher (ours is broken), but they clean up nice when washed by hand.

Good price!

I love my new pots and pans! They are beautiful and functional. I love how the smaller three pots' lids have built-in strainers! There is a great variety of sizes, although my old set had a 1 quart size that I miss. (This set starts at 2 qt.) I don't think you could find as many pots and pans anywhere else for this price, and these are good-quality on top of it! I cook daily and am looking forward to many years of using these in my kitchen!

I purchased because of the glowing review on Consumer's Report website. Arrived in great shape due to excellent packaging. Inspected every piece closely, all in perfect condition. I'm favorably impressed so far. I've used the fry pans a couple of times. I liked the metal handles, they stay cool to the touch while cooking. The frying pans performed well. Really like the lids with the colander function built in to the rim of the lids. The 6 lids interchange with all other pieces except the smallest fry pan, so virtually every container has a lid that fits. I like that feature too. Love the oven safe feature while remembering the temperature limit for the pans and 100 degree lower temp limit for the lids. Durability over time is important to me, so that element of this review will have to wait for a while. The pans say safe for dishwasher but recommend hand washing. I think there is more risk for physical damage by hand washing, so I will be cleaning this cookware set in my dishwasher .

Heavy set. Follow instructions to season. Works great. Well pleased.

One of the skillets came damaged and Sams will not address the issue with even a call back

So far so good, bought for me and as Christmas gifts. Good Quality for the price
