After looking, reading reviews, shopping at stores we just kept coming back to these pots and pans. We were between these and Cuisinart and Calphalon. I have no regret at all purchasing these. Love the look of them. Love the glass lids. Nice taller handles on lids so you dont burn your fingers. I like the measurement markings in pans-note: it is in metric! Nice durable handles on pans. When cooking it seems to be even heating in pans. I have found they are easy to clean. When done cooking I just put hot water in them and leave in sink until we are done eating and then wash. They are heavy but that's what I wanted. I have a gas stove and didnt want pans that would warp. For me its a sense of security that they are heavy duty. I also like the the bottom of the pans are flat not rounded because of my gas stove burner grates. I have had other pans that would rock and tip because they weren't flat. I did purchase the bar keepers friend cleaner. I have used it only a few times to clean the gas/heat marks off bottom-which isn't every time. Know how to cook on stainless! - dont start off on high heat! I have no problems with food sticking. I have no problems with getting pans clean. I did read some reviews about sticking/burning and all I can think of is these people must not know hiw to cook with stainless. Watch some youtube videos. It's not like cooking on teflon but isn't the reason we buy these pans is to not deal with teflon peeling/leaching in our food? Yes stainless takes a little more time to learn care for but don't compare apples to oranges. Also, the packaging was very good. Tightly packed and no damaged pieces at all. All in all, I give five stars, more than happy. Highly recommend.

The most common complaint is that fried foods stick to the skillets. Of course it will, if you don't season them! Like cast iron, these stainless steel skillets must be seasoned prior to use to make them non-stick. Like magic: Pre-heat the skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add enough oil to coat the bottom. Continue to heat for about 6 minutes until the oil smokes. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Pour out the oil and wipe with a paper towel. You now have a non stick pan. After use only wipe clean with a paper towel. Do not use soap and water. If you do, just re-season the pan. Use like any non-stick skillet: Maybe a light spray of PAM or a little bit of oil.

We just received this item and they have a very nice look to them. We have used them once so far for scrambled eggs. The pan was preheated and we wiped it with olive oil. We cook our eggs on a lower temperature. They did not burn but it took a little work to get the pan clean, but it wasn't bad. This was to be expected. The three star rating comes from the medium sauce pan had a couple of scratches on the inside bottom and the size of the large frying pan was disappointing. It is a 10" fry pan with only 7" of cooking surface. We had a 10" caphalon with our old set and it was at least 8" in terms of cooking surface. We expected it to be bigger I guess. The other point that I didn't pay attention to is the measurement marks but they are not etched but some sort of overlay and they are only in metric. The lids seem awfully light for a supposed higher end product. Overall, we are happy enough with them not to return until we get to use them more. It is a great looking set and looks and feels like good quality. We also love the large sauté pan. I'm not sure how much difference it makes when the cladding is only on the bottom and not up the sides (like All Clad). We didn't want to spend twice the price for All Clad, so we tried to go to the next price point. We looked at this and one of the cuisinarts. The cuisinart had a mirrored finish and didn't have glass lids. Keep in mind this says 17 pieces but in fact it counts the 3 cooks utensils as part of the 17. The meat and potatoes of this set is that it's 7 pieces of cookware. We are currently at 3 stars until we have time to find out how well these items produce over time.

I moved into my new house with my new Electrolux Induction cook-top and was super excited when I ordered the Duxtop pans, after reading great reviews, I was super excited when they arrived. The pans are BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Exactly as described and more impressive in person than online pictures. I love everything about them in appearance and weight. The handles fit perfectly in my hands.
I had read in other online reviews that a HORRIBLE buzzing/vibrating sound fills the kitchen when using these pans with Electrolux induction cook-top. I was very worried because I did not read that until after I had purchased the pans and was waiting on their arrival. The very first time I used the pans a Horrible buzzing/ vibrating sound filled my kitchen, I was immediately disappointed. I then lifted the pan off the cook-top and the noise stopped, I put the pot back on the cook-top and the buzzing started again. Then a thought crossed my mind to wipe the bottom of the pan with a microfiber cloth and the cook-top itself. I did this and there was no buzzing. The cook-top and the pans need to be clean and free of debris before use in order to prevent buzzing sound.

The pans can be a little difficult to clean, but as someone who went to culinary school these are a top quality pan. This is a beautiful set and perfect for someone who is looking for a Stainless-Steel set.

Been very happy so far. I decided to go with these, with some trepidation, after using All Clad and Calphalon in the past - the attraction was primarily the lower cost. They feel substantial and seem well constructed. I've had none of the problems mentioned in other reviews here at Amazon: lids fit well, no discoloration even after washing in the dishwasher. I also like the pasta basket, which I hadn't used before. I am following the manufacturer's advice and not using excessively high heat (my range is gas) to avoid damaging the pans.

I plan to update this review if I encounter any unexpected problems in the future.
