Having been on the business end of countless cooking vessels, the first thing I will say is I dislike handles with rivets protruding into the inside of the pan. I have not seen any riveted pans that are NSF certified, due to bacteria/food being difficult to clean, especially with dishwasher-only process. There's no good reason not to weld the handles, or attaching hardware, other than maybe being cheaper? It's nice to use a spatula and cleanly swipe the inside of the pan to get what you're cooking off the sides....rivets prevent that. The removable handle(s) are a nice touch. I have never had any issues with the nuts or attachment process. Maybe some people did but could be a defect in the threads, or overtightening. Put a drop of oil on the threads before tightening, and lift the handle up and down while final-tightening, which allows a completely solid connection, which I have never had loosen. BTW, the thread is a 5mmx.8mm common metric thread, so if you lose a nut (they give you extras) you can buy them on amazon. Some pans have the handle permanently welded to the pan but I like the removable feature, allowing storage in tight areas, or I sometimes keep it off and use the pan like a pie pan to bake with, and the handle being off, makes it less cumbersome in the oven. If you make skillet-browned cornbread, this works almost as well as a cast iron skillet. There are no lids with this but the price is great, and you can buy lids, or if you're like me, you already have lids that fit these saute pans. The lip of these pans are flared out, making pouring liquid/stew/etc out clean with no drips down the side of the pan. I measured temperatures across the bottom of the pan while heating on an induction cooktop. The temperature was very uniform across the interior, and the magnetic coupling to the induction coils was very efficient, indicating a good magnetic stainless steel used in the mfg process. To season the pan, I use either coconut oil, or avacado oil (not spray oil, as the lecithin used for release agent will break down under high heat). So heat the pan to around 400F (after first cleaning it), then wipe the oil to coat the pan's inside with a paper towel and oven mitten(s). This will greatly reduce sticking. So to recap, great pan, flat bottom, great handle and attachment hardware, easy to clean and use. Price is also very good for high quality pans. I've cooked several meals, cornbread, and desserts with them, and am still happy with my purchase! Read more

Great quality pan. Cooks well, heat spreads quickly and evenly however, oil did not create a film around the pan. I've used the pan around three times now, and I just let a little water sit in it for a while to get off the residue and it cleaned well. I've used the pan to fry and to make chilli. Handle does not heat up. I should have bought the one with the cover, it's a big pan, none of my other pan covers fit. Read more

I love this skillet, but it's so heavy. I've had it a week and used it once. It seem very durable and heavy duty, and I love that it has a flat bottom, so it stays flat on the burner, AND it has higher sloped sides, if I want to toss for a quick saute. It's the saute that's difficult because it's so heavy. I'm considering returning it. UPDATE: I did end up keeping it. It's heavy, but I got used to it. It's a great pan. Love that it has a lid and a flat, solid bottom. Read more

I bought this bad boy during Black Friday and I've been using it continuously since. I was a non-stick user before and this guy was my first stainless steel pan, so there was definitely a learning curve, but my oh my did it pay off! I don't even reach for my cast iron skillet anymore because this pan does everything! It's super wide, so I can brown a ton of food and it browns really well! It's also got sides tall enough for making curries or stews. I can cook like three days worth of food in it. It's also super easy to clean as the inside is a continuous surface with no screws or crannies where food can get stuck in. I've burnt stuff on this and Barkeeper's Friend + Scrub Daddy took it right off with no scratches! This is such a good multi use pan and very durable. It's also very affordable compared to the Made-In or other popular brands. FYI: It doesn't come with a lid, so you'll need to buy one yourself. Read more

Best pots and pans brand I have ever purchased myself. Been using for 6 months. Have never owned stainless steel pots and pans before. This is the absolute easiest cleaning stuff. Cooks beautifully. I have no Idea why someone didn't tell me about this amazing product 30 years ago. Teflon suck compared to this. Read more

I bought this set hoping to upgrade my daily cooking gear, and while the pans themselves heat up evenly and sear meat beautifully, the experience hasn't been perfect. The 12-inch skillet is a workhorse in my kitchen for big family meals, and I appreciate the sturdy tri-ply construction which feels very durable. However, I have to point out a significant issue with the "stay cool" handles: they get dangerously hot if you're cooking for more than ten minutes, especially near the body of the pan. I've had to make sure I always have a potholder nearby, which defeats the purpose of the design claim. For the price, they are decent stainless steel pans that cook food well, but the handle design definitely needs improvement for safety. Read more
