Good buy well made highly recommended
Purchased these for use with my new induction range. The pots are great but it’s been an adjustment using the new pots and the induction range. Overall the weight of the pans is very nice, they’re not cheaply made. Had to read up on how to clean burnt on food and after following instructions, the frypan came clean.

Good starter s/s pans but don't expect them to be heavy duty.
We are removing all of our teflon pans because it's just not good to cook on them knowing what we know with chemically coated pans..etc. Especially if they are chipped/scratched.I didn't want to dive into $1k+ s/s pans yet only because that's a big jump when you are used to non stick pans...I will say comparing this with a current s/s Viking pan, these ARE considerably lighter/thinner. So they do not retain heat nearly as well. But again, you are getting an entire set for half of what one pan would normally cost...Some of the lids seem to have rough edges and not nearly as rounded as they should be...I think this is a good STARTER s/s set to realize you either like s/s or you want something else like cast iron before dropping a large amount of money for pots/pans.

5 stars, because I feel like a 5 star chef with this new cook set by Sur La Table!
So loving this stainless cook set. We have been wanting to replace our previous set of cookware, because it’s been a few years since we had a new set, and the old set was worse for wear, (which I guess it’s a good thing because they were very “loved”.) Since I like to try new brands every so often, I was intrigued to try this brand. So far I am very pleased.This set appeals to me because it comes with a saute pan, something my old set never had, but something we have been finding we have been needing. It comes with a very nice sized saute pan which can do three functions (at least for us) as a deep fry pan, a shallow pot, or saute pan, so very happy about having one of these because it opens up our world a little bit more, doing triple duty, so it is actually my most used piece. The pot and pan handles have a “y” shaped handle which helps keep handles cooler. (All except the Dutch Oven pot of course, because those handles are like a typical Dutch Oven “U” shape by design, which you need that shape to handle and better support the weight safely the larger quantities of food which you may need to drain, etc, ) The Dutch Oven pot is perfect for my chili and soup recipes. (I like making a lot at once, so this size is super practical for my larger “one pot” family meals.)All the pots and pans are easy to cook with, lighter, but yet more sturdy than my previous cookware. The pots and pans are slightly deeper than my previous set, and much better for recipes with lots of stirring, as the sides prevent spilling better than my previous set.The lids fit nicely on their corresponding pots. (As an FYI, 2 do not have pan lids.) The lids have steam holes, which is very handy when boiling different foods.I have a gas stove, and these pans help distribute heat, cooking everything evenly. I cooked pub burgers the other day, which always seem to take forever to cook, and they cooked much more quickly, thoroughly, and evenly than with my old set. With my old set I had to constantly flip, stir, etc to make sure things would cook evenly, and even move the pot periodically to distribute heat better, but not the case with these! I used different burners with different BTU’s and the results were the same, all the heat is across the board even.The stainless steel is high quality, and happy there are no toxic nonstick coatings with this set. They do need a little TLC after cooking certain foods, but good pots and pans always do, so I am okay with that. I use an eco-friendly soap on these, and it works well, so happy with these! The manufacturer recommends that these are hand wash only, but I hand wash all my pots and pans anyways. (I am the dishwasher in our house, LOL!)A good set of pots and pans are an investment, so I am happy we got these, and they are totally worth it, because the food just seems to cook more efficiently and taste better than they did before. I would definitely consider getting more pieces from this brand due to the quality we have been enjoying, after getting this set! Love that this set makes me feel like a 5 star chef these days.

Very Useful Kitchen Cookware Set
This cookware set is made with quality stainless steel. The pans, pots, and see through glass covers combine to make cooking easier for me, and I get great results. I have used many coated pans and pots in the past, which have worked, but I have to be careful not to scratch the coated surfaces, and they do wear out over time. I really like this stainless steel set because I don't have to worry about damaging coatings. These stainless steel items are easy to clean up, dishwasher safe, and they can be used in ovens. I like that these items all have an aluminum base attached to the bottom of the pans, this helps spread the heat more evenly. The manufacturer warns not to use cooking spray and recommends oils and butter only. This works for me because I have seen the damage that cooking sprays have done to my coated pans, and now I stick to using virgin olive oil and butter. The handles on the pans are firmly attached and they are little longer than I am used too; they take up a bit more space in my cabinets. This cookware set is working well for me and I recommend it to you.
