They are a little heavier than I anticipated with much of the weight in the handle. Aside from the weight, they are excellent thus far. I got these for my in-laws as they were in need of some non-stick, quality, non-toxic pans. In the short time they have had them, they're utilized a lot and holding up great. Non-stick coating works great, no scratches thus far, and heats quick and evenly! Calphalon is my go-to.
