Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was pleasantly surprised by this set.While it's not super heavy stainless, it's definitely not flimsy either.The walls of the pans are substantial and every pan in the set has a weighted bottom.Pyrex has incorporated some innovative features in this set that make it stand out.Overall, I think it's a great set, especially for the price. The combination of pans in this set make it a perfect starter or replacement set.
Positives
*The handles are silicone covered making them easier to grip and less likely to burn the cook.Even the 6 qt pan has silicone grips on the bottom side of the handles.
*The unique feature that allows the lids to be perched on the pans prevents the frustrating drip of water all over the stove and reduces the risk of burns from steam.
*All of the pans have pour spouts, making it easier to drain or pour the contents.
*Even with the pour spouts, the lids can adequately seal the pans when positioned correctly.
*The pans and lids are a good weight, not flimsy and thin.
*All pans have a weighted bottom layer allowing them to heat evenly and prevent hot spots and warping.
*The lid handles make it easy to grip and are not likely to burn cooks or slip from hands.
*The silicone handle covers provide a non-slip spoon rest for frequently stirred dishes.
*Measurements inside every pan.
*Clear size information and care instructions on the bottom of each pan.
*Sizes and measurements are both standard and metric.
Negatives
*Only oven safe to 350 degrees, but the pans in this set are not really the type of pans that most people would use in a hotter oven anyway.
*The great handles on the lids also mean they can't be easily stacked for storage as some lids can.The set might take up more cabinet space than some because of them.
*The skillets are non-stick.Although they work beautifully now, it's been my experience that no non-stick pans remain so for more than two or three years.
Followup after more use
The innovative feature that allows you to hang the lid on the pans is actually more trouble than the dripping condensation issue of normal lids.
If your pot contains much food, the lid will touch or dip into the food when hung on the pot wall and create more of a mess than condensation would have.
The lids handles are easy grip and not likely to slip out of your hands, but for all practical purposes, the hanging feature will rarely be used.
