LEGEND COOKWARE 5-Ply Stainless Steel 3-Quart Sauce Pan with Lid - Induction Compatible Oven Safe 800 F -

I've waited a while to write a review to make sure I have used these pans to get a good feel of what I like and don't like. I've primary owned All-Clad--5ply anodized and copper clad cookware. I believe the Legend pans are every bit as good and better in many ways. The copper core pans are exceptional at heating quickly, heating evenly and cooking perfectly. The handles of the Legend are nearly perfect. They are long enough to offer good leverage (the pans are heavy!), but it's the shape of the handle that's exceptional. The thumbprint like indent along the handle fits your hand perfectly and makes picking them up feel so stable. The collection of pans included in the set is perfect. They cover all the needed sizes for any kind of cooking and the fry pans are BIG--in a wonderful way. They are deep as well making it easy to cook a variety of food from pan fried foods to braised meats. The inside of the stock pots are etched with volume measurements which makes for a convenient way to judge the amount of liquid. They stock pots seemed a first a bit small, but they are larger than they seem at first and the selection of 4 sizes has covered just about all areas I typically need. I have no problem having 5-6 pans going at any one time and the variety of sizes is great for fitting the pans all across the induction cooktop. The stockpot/soup pot is HUGE. Its really deep but doesn't have an overly large footprint, so it works great for larger quantities of liquid without taking up too much real estate. These pans have been phenomenal on my induction cooktop. They heat up very quickly and I've never had such even heating(in part due to the nature of induction, but also due to the copper core). The personally think they are aesthetically more pleasing that most of the cookware out there and with 3 handle color choices, its easy to pick the look you are going for. I felt like I took a bit of chance buying a unknown/less known brand of cookware, but I'm THRILLED with the performance of these pans. I've catered and regularly cook for dinner parties as well as family gatherings, and these pans and wonderful in everyday use. The large set has everything I need. I couldn't be more impressed.

I have been cooking for over 50 years and these are by far the best pots and pans I have ever cooked with. They have a beautiful finish, they heat evenly and clean up easily. I've owned just about every brand of cookware out there and I can say, without reservation, these are the best you can buy without having to break the bank. The price of this set is not cheap, but the quality far exceeds the price point, even at twice the cost. I thoroughly searched the internet, read every review and took a long time to finally decide on which set to purchase and I am happy that I chose Legend. I have been using them for several weeks now and I have no complaints or negative comments. I am so very pleased with this purchase that I highly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their current pots and pans or to someone just starting the cooking adventure. I must be honest and admit that when I ordered these, I was somewhat skeptical. However I am truly pleased with my purchase and Legend customer service. Legend Cookware is a small company that seems to be dedicated to making sure they present you with unsurpassed service and reliability. Happy Cooking! Read more

This is a set of stainless steel copper core cookware that I purchased to replace a nonstick set that I have had to replace twice in the last 8 years. I cannot tell you how happy I am with this purchase! The pans are beautiful and heavyweight. I used them as directed by heating the pan prior to adding the oil. It was immediately noticeable that the chicken cooked quicker an more evenly than my previous pans. I love to cook and I am so looking forward to continuing to use this wonderful set. Also, the customer service is absolutely incredible! If you are in the market for new cookware, I don’t think you would be disappointed with this set! Additional note....4 months later with daily use on several pieces and I am still loving this set! Still looks brand new, cooks evenly and cleans up beautifully. I highly recommend these pans!

Very high quality and work well. As is likely the case with all five-ply cookware, these are very heavy and difficult to hold for my wife with arthritis. They work very well with our induction stove. Read more

These Pans are the best. I got mine In and did wash with warm water and a little soap. First thing I did was fry some eggs in the 10 inch fry pan. I let it heat up on a little less than medium heat for about 1.5 minutes, added a couple of pads of butter, waited for it to melt and put in the eggs. They did not stick and slid around in the pan. This is the best results of any stainless steel pan I have ever used. The pans are heavy and very well made. I did a lot of research before picking a set to buy and these were the best bang for your buck in my opinion. I'm glad I made the purchase. Read more

We bought this stainless copper core cookware to use with our new induction stove. It is not only beautiful but it is great to cook with. I especially like the large deep skillets that give a large surface to brown meat and it’s deep enough to add other ingredients such as sauces. I have found this cookware is perfect with our induction stove. I did not leave a review when we first purchased the cookware because I wanted to get used to cooking on the induction stove with the cookware so I could give an honest review. I have found it is best to not cook with the burners on high unattended. This is probably a combination of the stove and cookware. I recommend this set of cookware for it’s beauty, durability, and performance. Read more
