The aesthetic of these pans is second to none in my opinion. They are robust, stack nicely and the lids do position to create a small air gap if required (someone stated otherwise, that is in correct).If you're reading this you're probably already pretty set on these pans as they're best on the market and at 340 quid if memory serves, the set of 5 is outstanding value. All-Clad is a competitor but they dont stock well in the UK. My chief criticisms (if i must) are as follows:This set contains a 26cm diameter deep casserole (which is a thing of beauty), i wish the Le Creuset range had a few larger (deep) pans than this. They have a 30cm shallow casserole which i bought seperately,

Very pleased with this purchase, the pans conduct heat well and look good. I'm confident they will stand up to many years use.I particularly like the attention to detail - the pouring edge is exactly right; the handles are comfortable; and the pans are well balanced which disguises their weight (they are not "heavy" but weigh more than the capsule base and non-stick alternatives).I have a couple of comments - not quite criticisms but something you should be aware of...- The short helper handles and the lid handles do get hotter than you might expect so you need to keep a cloth to hand.- The volume markings inside the pan are only inked on the surface and if you use an abrasive scourer you will scratch them away (as I discovered after a couple of days).

I bought the three pan set exactly one year ago. Here are pictures of the pans today, after a year of use. I use the middle sized one almost every day, and the other two four or five times a week. They are always cleaned in the dishwasher on a normal cycle. As you can see, there are some scuffs from usage, but overall they are still in very good condition.I was initially concerned about not getting non-stick pans as I usually had done before. However, these are a joy to use. The only issue with marks - I once let some oil heat up for too long in one pan and it made a yellow stain. However, it went after a few runs through the dishwasher as I used the pan again with the stain.They retain heat very well,

These pans are absolutely superb. They come extremely well packaged and when you remove each one it instantly lets you know that it's top quality. Each pan is suprisingly heavy yet very well balanced so they aren't cumbersome but it's worth knowing if you have weak hands or wrists although there is a solid handle on the front of each pan so you have two points of lifting.The handles are attached by large stainless steel rivets that look over engineered so inspire further confidence.One major attraction for me is that the pans do not have any hollow components, I have othe pots and pans, some extremely expensive, that have hollow handles and when you pull them out of the dishwasher the handles empty rancid dishwasher water over all the clean dishes.

Bought these as a gift as I have had a set for many years after they were initially launched at the Good Food Show. I previously had Prestige stainless steel copper bottomed pans which don't even begin to compare. These pans are lighter than the cast iron Le Creuset range though reassuringly weighty. This is a high activity kitchen & the pans are used every day. They are still as good as new. I have over the years had several 'events' which led to a burned pan (my fault!!!) and convinced that the pan was ruined. However after a soak and a scrub the following morning they always come up like new. The gift was for a family member who had grown up with these pans and wanted to use them in their own kitchen.I'm happy to see that over the years,

Great pans, I love them so far (only had them a few weeks) - the heat distribution is good, they’re heavy, but because of the double handle design, they’re balanced and the weight isn’t difficult to manage. The insides do get scratched if mashing potatoes with a metal masher, but that’s to be expected I guess. They clean up really easily (we’ve been careful not to use any metal scourers or things that would affect the surface too much and cause things to stick).My one gripe, like others have said, is the annoying lids that slip badly when you’re trying to angle them to simmer with a gap. However, we found an easy workaround... as shown in the photos. Given the price of the pans,

Top quality, and not as heavy as I expected. I am removing PTFE (non-stick) from the kitchen as it fails slowly on saucepans, quickly on bakeware.These pans *are* expensive, but they only need to last twice or thrice as long as the ones they are replacing (Circulon, 3 years) to be cheaper. I reckon they will manage that.They look good too. Not sure how important that is.The insides of the pans are a single piece of stainless steel with rounded 'corners' - so easy to clean.They have simple lids that just sit on top of the pan. This may seem less secure, and I am not sure that 'tight fitting' is a fair description. However, the lids, (and the pans in general) have very few joins to trap food,

I purchased these saucepans as I have a new ceramic hob cooker that I can't use my existing saucepans on.They were well packaged and arrived promptly as is usually the case with anything purchased from Amazon. They cook very well, and on low heat most of the time. There is a 'however' here though - the largest pan (20cm) and the mid pan (18cm) have both become discoloured and marked inside. The smaller of the two, I was advised by Le Creuset to wipe with lemon juice and sure enough the marking disappeared. The largest pan though, appears to be getting worse. I've contacted Le Creuset who want to inspect the pan (I did send them digital images of them). I've stuck RIGIDLY to the recommendations of how to use and clean these pans,

I thought long and hard about spending this much money on a set of pans but they are worth every penny.My step daughter hit the nail on the head when she said that using quality equipment makes the job easier and more enjoyable and in the case of these pans she was spot on.A nice range of sizes and I find I end up using the smaller pots instead of saucepans as can go from hob to oven to keep things hot for later.Lids are all great, well designed and little content running down the pot sides (not making a mess)When buying the set a considerable saving is made over individual items.The set is not available in the UK from Le Creuset and comes from Germany.

I've known LeCreuset for several years now, more than 8 I think as we do have outlet were we live. I own few non-stick coated pans and a 24cm non-stick coated stew pot (received replacement) for few years now and experienced few issues mainly that they do do scratch after a while although we have had been very careful using them. I've decided its time for a different ones LeCreuset produces. My husband (a fan of stainless steel and mashed potatoes!) will definitely use these beauties. Every one from the set ticks all our requirements re sizes. We are still to experience to cook with stainless steel lids as the non-stick range were/are sold with the glass lids. Excellent service,

These plans look and feel quality inside and out. Real heft to them, which is a nice change compared to the cheap low quality high street stuff made in vadt quantities. Replaced a 5yr old set of non stick pans which were losing their coating. These are a much healthier choice, no nasty non stick chemicals, and they're built to last a lifetime.We have a 5 ply saute pan from Made In and these look and feel so much better, despite only being 3 ply. Easily cleaned with a soft cloth and fairy liquid.Note - these conduct heat really well, our electric ceramic hob is probably a little too much for them on full power. We never really need to go past power level 7 for a good sear, 5 medium heat,

I'm an Engineer, I design stuff for a living. As such I tend to be very critical about product design and products that are poorly designed and rubbish quality - ask my girlfriend, I bore her senseless with geeky rants on a regular basis.I love Le Creuset's 3-ply stainless range because it's well designed, understated, very well made, and will clearly last for many years. These pans have the heavy, substantial feel of a quality item, and if you're mostly concerned with function and ergonomic design, and want something that is very good at the actual job of cooking, then the 3-ply range is highly recommended.If you're more interested in trendy lifestyle statements,

Got these over other pans based on reviews and so far they are great. New induction hob forced a change so read plenty of feedback was about to get procook but found dented lids on sale so change to these.They are expensive but you do tend to keep pans for a long time.Only disappointment was the frying pan exchanged before use due to tiny bumps on none stick surface, this was done so will see how we go. I have read a number of people have had issues with these when the Teflon peels off.Work brilliantly with an induction hob which has a very controllable heat level, before this you would have never got me off gas now I wouldn't want to go back.So far I love cooking with them,

These pans are, as expected from Le Creuset, a solid piece of equipment, well built and a feel of quality.For induction hobs, they perform superbly - the lids fit well and so simmering vegetables takes less water and really do taste better. Cooking thick sauces is now so much easier and requires less stirring as there are no appreciable hot-spots. This also means that they are really easy to clean without harsh scrubbing.A feature that I really like is that when you need to stir the contents during cooking, the handle on the lid is large enough to slide over the pan handle when the lid is turned upside down, saving putting it down on a worksurface - a little thing but really convenient!In summary,

Plus:- very well designed, well balanced- excellent quality- heavy and stable- the second handle is extremely useful and large enough- stainless steel = healthy cooking- they heat very well and quick- perfect and very useful dimensionsMinus:- they do stick. I tried some rice with milk, stirring from time to time and it was sticking to the bottom ... but at least not burning and smoking, so it didn't change the taste.- they loose their shine inside after some usage- the priceI would definitely recommend them and I do not regret buying them. I found them to be the basic sauce pans in your kitchen. Even if they stick a bit,
