Awesome set. BUY them!
Needs instructions for handle. Figured it out, but it would have been handy to have an instruction card or paper. To attach set over edge of pan and move lever to lock position. Easy part. To remove. Move lever to unlock position. Click right button. Click left button. Practice before using a time or two. Its easy and simple, but intuitivetively I wanted to press both at the same time or hold them pressed in and nothing happened. You will hear the right side unlockas an audible and tactile click. Then press the left side quickly and spring mechanism pops the handle open. So there are two latches inside handle and must be released in order. I assume its a safety feature. They need to inform us denser customers how to operate it. Or link a YT video. Very nice pan set. Quality, heavy duty aluminum. Nice looking non-stick coating. How well it performs over time is yet to be seen. On unboxing I was impressed. Downsizing and got this set to conserve space and expected a cheaper quality set. Was pleasantly surprised. I expect it to perform comparably with similar pans that have attached handles and cost more at Walmart or other large retailers like Target. I have only boiled water and made Wonton soup so far with it. It boiled the water faster than other pans and once the water came back to a simmer after adding the frozen wontons, I only simmered for a minute and the residual heat finshed them. They hold the heat very well. Took a bit to cool down enough to put leftovers in the fridge. They give you a silicone trivet mat for a reason. Use it. I am very happy to get such a nice cookware set for such a good price. As long as you treat the cookware right, as with any non-stick cookware, it should last a long time. The bonus is it costs less than a comparable set and the handles detach so it can store in a smaller space and be more versatile. The frying pans do not come with lids. Test your current lids for fit before tossing or donating them. I sometimes want to braise meats and need a lid for the frying pans. Only con with the set, besides no handle instruction. Lucky for me I have not made it to the charity thrift store yet. Update! Buy these pans. I have since been putting them to the test. Passed every one. Eggs, cheese, etc. The non-stick is really non-stick. If it only lasts a while it's OK as they are not expensive. However, it seems well bonded so, I figure it should last a good long while. Love them.
