Having used nonstick cookware forever I was a little nervous in switching to stainless steel but.....I'm so glad I did!!! I absolutely love this brand!! It is very sturdy and quite heavier than others. Love it's shine, the size of the individual pots, and the cute lids! it's a stunning set at that! it took me awhile to get used to the preheating and no longer use of cooking spray, but at least now I can scrub them clean and not have to worry about scratching teflon. The price was fantastic!!

A nice assortment of sizes, superb quality and easy to clean. Very substantially built. They stand up well in comparison to any other quality stainless steel pans.

This pan set replaced a Cephelon non-stick pan set. My wife and I were getting a bit aprehensive about the flaking of the coating and I decided to get this stainless set. I really wanted copper bottoms, but for what I was willing to spend, it seemed like anything with copper was just a coating, not actual copper. Once I settled on this set, I ordered and waited a bit longer than the Two Day Prime shipping. Once I actually received the pans. I was pleased with the fit and finish. They are sturdy and feel good in the hand. I am a very hands on cook who likes to flip and swirl as opposed to just stirring. The handles stay cool and the pans are weighted nicely so they don't tip to the handle while on the stove. The pans heat quickly and stay hot, which is good when you pick them up to toss the veggies around a bit. I read a tip in another review about letting the pans heat before cooking to close off the pores on the cooking surface to avoid sticking. So far so good on that front. The pans do discolor a bit with cooking, but as long as they don't mess with the flavor I could care less. If I had wanted display pots, I would have bought copper and a hanging rack. I am also sure a little Bartenders Helper or whatever that cleaner is, will shine things right back up if I ever care to use it.3 year update: These pans are still going strong. There are some scratches at the bottom of the pan from using metal implements to stir food, but there is no staining, burned in residues, or any other discoloration. The handles are still firmly attached and the pan lid handles are the same way. This is one of the best pan purchases, besides my cast iron skillet, that I have made.7 year update: These pots and pans have been through the ringer and are still holding up beautifully. They are just as sturdy as the first day I got them and the finish is still shiny. All the handles are firm and the lids are as solid as ever. My wife has burned I don't know how many eggs into the smaller frying pan and they come out easily with a little soak. I will probably end up using these pans forever as I am a firm believer in if it isn't broke, don't fix it methodology.

I wanted and expected so much for this to be a 5-star review. I bought my first Duxtop pan 3 years ago to use for making tea. I wanted something inexpensive that I could scour, as needed, with Barkeeper's Friend and this fit the bill. I was very surprised with the quality of that first pan and it has become my go-to stove-top 3qt pot and I use it for far more than tea.I have a 30 year-old copper-bottom stainless set that I love and I bought a Cuisinart French Classic set here on Amazon that I like a lot. The problem with the Cuisinart is that the pots all have straight sides and tops, no curve for pouring so they always drip. Not a huge problem but it adds cleaning time. So when I wanted another tri-ply set for my new induction stove, I immediately looked at the Duxtop. The price on the Duxtop set was about 35% lower than I've seen Duxtop sets up to now so, based on my experience with that first pot, I ordered two of the 9-piece sets - it was that great of a price.Then came the gotcha. These pans are "ok" pans but not nearly the quality of the older pan. The handles have been modified, thinner, lighter, more pointed (pokey when gripping) etc. Though these are sold to US consumers, they're laser etched with liters inside rather than quarts, etc. Just in general, I don't love them the way I love that original Duxtop.If you need an inexpensive stainless, tri-ply, pan set for induction tops, this will definitely fill the bill but the overall design and quality has gone down so that is disappointing.

Great set. High quality. I love these pans. I'll never go back to the TOXIC nonstick pans.

We bought this 7 years ago when we changed to induction range and are used daily and they still look great like new.

I am very pleased with these pots and pans! They are a pleasure to cook with and they clean up very easily! That's a blessing!

I was really looking forward to receiving these pots/pans and honestly, I've never been so disappointed. I'd like to consider myself a bit "snobby" when it comes to cooking/ cooking appliances and these really don't do it for me. I recently moved into a new condo that has one of those True Induction stove tops and its the worst thing ever. To be fair maybe the pans wouldn't be so awful if I didn't have this type of stovetop, however, I bought them because the had pretty good reviews for magnetic cookware which is what you need to cook on a True Induction stovetop. I truly hate my stovetop. It cooks way too fast even on (what it considers) low heat. I usually have to cook things on 1 or 2 just because if you cook anything on higher heat it will burn it and stick to the pans! Even on 1 or 2 heat things still stick to the pans! Really badly! I use olive oil or butter and yes, food still sticks. The only thing that these pots/pans do well is boil water. And I mean only water! Don't try to make soup, it will stick, don't try to cook chicken, it will stick, and be sure you don't fry anything, the food will never come off the pan! I wouldn't recommend purchasing these. Again, it could just be an extremely terrible combo; the True Induction cooktop with these pots/pans but they seem pretty bad even just on their own.
