Best fry pans ever! Works perfectly with induction range!
Nicest pans I've ever owed. Work perfectly on my Fridgidare induction range, I mention my range brand because I've noticed there may be differences as to how they, or any similar pans, might work depending on range. Cook perfectly and evenly, ultimate non-stick, and clean up with a quick wipe! Just read and follow the instructions that come with them! Word of advice from using other similar pans, never, ever, use any heat setting above medium high on fry pans! Would buy these again and highly recommend!

Now my go-to set of pans
I received this set of three Kitchen Academy Hard Anodized Non Stick Frying Pans and took a couple of days to test them out and I am happy to report that while I can't predict how well they will hold up, they have definitely passed my tests of cooking eggs, and even a huge batch of caramelized onions. I started the onions as I normally do at a medium high heat in the largest (11") pan and they passed with flying colors. The pans seem to heat evenly and cook that way and while the onions regularly will take me an hour to cook, this time it was only about 40 minutes for them to receive just the right color and caramelization. I was able to quickly turn the heat down to a medium and then medium low level to keep the onions from burning and I think they turned out great. They are not nearly as heavy as some of my other sets of pans, but they certainly maintained the heat well. That was 5 large onions that I managed to pile high in the pan, but as those of you who cook know, it only takes a few minutes before the onions quickly soften and reduce in size. Of course there was no sticking to the pan with this batch of onions using just a couple of tablespoons of olive oil and butter unlike the cast iron I would normally use and they still taste as delicious. So while these are lightweight and very functional, they may not be the cream of the crop but they are a fraction of the price and would make an excellent gift to people just starting out on their journey. My initial reaction to opening the box these came in was that they are VERY lightweight. From that then you might surmise I was starting a judgement maybe less impressive than was fair, but these deserve a much better rap than what most lightweight pans get from me. The quality shows in every aspect EXCEPT the weight. I guess I have spent a lifetime expecting good pans to be hefty. But these exude quality in workmanship and materials in every way. I have spent now just over a month cooking with all three and have been surprisingly impressed at how well they cook, brown, sear, and most importantly how well they clean up. The handles do not get hot and the only scrubbing I had to do was when I was sloppy and needed to scrub the sides and even the bottom. That stainless steel bottom is supposedly good for induction cooking, but I do not have the requisite cooktop to test that out. One other aspect that might have lead me to think they were not going to be as impressive as some other cookware was price. These are absolutely priced at the low end of the scale, but don't let that dissuade you from purchasing them. I am now relying entirely on this set of pans and have never looked back at some of those other, more expensive name brand sets sitting on my shelf. I can easily recommend these to even the pickiest cooks.

Good value!
This is an attractive, well-priced set. It looks nice in our kitchen where we typically have one pan out on the stove due to frequent use. These are solid pans that heat well on our gas stove and are not showing signs of sticking. I have not tested them above medium heat.I’m going to give this four stars because, with regular use, none of these seem to hold up for more than a year or so. I follow all of the instructions but they seem designed to fail. If these surpass that, I will update my review.

Beautiful and EASY to clean!
These pans are beautiful, with a high-gloss coating and gorgeous silver handles, but they work well too, so it's not just about their beauty.These pans distribute heat well and the non-stick surface means I use less oil too, which I really appreciate. Also, these fit my hand well and clean up BEAUTIFULLY! But, just as with other non-stick cookware, I'll be careful not to use metal tools that can scratch the coating. But that's not a problem, since just a simple swipe is all it usually takes to clean the pan, inside and out! And even though I initially had some concern about the beautiful metal handles, I was pleasantly surprised to find they do not conduct heat so they remained relatively cool to the touch on the stove.Overall, these are beautiful, practical, seem durable and are a good value, all things considered.

Great set of 3 nonstick pans
This set of 3 nonstick pans is a good set. There are 3 different sizes, a small pan, medium pan and a larger pan. They are well made with the nonstick and the handles are screwed in not glued. I like the color of the pans, black, so they won’t burn like my other white ones with high heat. Although you’re not supposed to use high heat with these non-stick pans.These pans have a preset easy clean up with gentle wiping down with a paper towel or cloth. Or you can put some water in it and lightly simmer the water and it will make it so much easier to clean. This is a great set of nonstick pans.

Good for low heat
These are decent light-weight frypans. I've used them on my Duxtop induction heater for eggs and omelets several times with good results. Eggs are evenly cooked and slide right off. Clean-up is simple.Unfortunately, on one occasion when I was making pancakes at medium heat (5/10), I overcooked and the finish on the pan was permanently marred. I've done this before on my other, heavier nonstick pans and suffered no negative consequences other than a very dark pancake, so I question how durable the finish might be.

Beautiful....but
These pans are beautiful and heavy. True nonstick, no oil required pans.Unfortunately that's where the magic ended for me. These did NOT do well on my glass stove top. I read thr care instructions tot he letter and was surE to use as low a heat setting as possible for the dish I was making (kale LOL). Sadly, even if I could overlook the poor heat distribution, the pan started to scorch on the bottom. I guess I can also add that they are very easy to clean but do NOT put them in the dishwasher per the instructions.For the cost these just weren't worth it for me. May work better for those with more conventional cook tops.
