How heavy are these? Do they feel as heavy as cast iron? Or do they feel "too light"? And will they work on gas burners as well as induction?

The Zwilling TruClad line is heavier than the other Zwilling lines. Pans weigh similar to what an All-Clad or ScanPan pan of the same size/configuration weighs. Much less than cast iron, but not at all "too light." BTW, the other Zwilling lines are fine, but I don't think as good. The TruClad pans we have, the non-stick skillets and the regular pots, are GREAT!!! It's close, but I think the nonstick skillets are better than All-Clad and as good as the top of line ScanPan (we have all three - different houses). Our experience is they work very well on gas, and they work very well on induction. The Zwilling TruClad line is heavier than the other Zwilling lines.

This is truly a stainless steel pan with a non stick ceramic coating. So, it's heavier than aluminum junk but solid. It'll work great on gas but I'd keep it at medium heat.

Definitely not too light, but maybe 25% lighter than cast iron at the same size. Work great on gas burners. Unfortunately, the non-stick property of the ceramic surface does seem to fade over time. I primarily use my cast iron these days, though these still work fine with some oil...

They are not as heavy as cast iron. As for "too light", that's for you to decide, as you've given an entirely subjective question. They should work with all cooking heat sources. I got them for induction, but they work fine on the electric range as well.

I have the 8" and it's about as heavy as I want. I love the pan and use it almost totally for 2 eggs in the morning. I did find that it really heats up HOT so you have to watch things and turn it way down. I do wipe a tiny bit of butter on the pan daily...don't know if it's necessary.I am in the country and only have propane so natural gas would also be fine.

Feels substantial enough -- something in between all-clad and cheap aluminum. Using on gas burners with no problems.

They're pretty heavy, but not as heavy as cast iron. They work great on gas burners.

They are a heavy pan and so not feel cheaply made at all. I use them on a gas burner. No issues the first few months then good started to stick to the non-stick surface.

The company says yes to gas, electric and induction. We use ours on a glass top induction and they are great. Have also used them on our propane camp stove with no issues. Be carful sliding any pan around on the glass tops, you can get scratches.

Absolutely yes. We just moved to a house with an induction stove, had a gas stove for twenty years and all we had was cast iron. I miss the gas stove, but these are TERRIFIC. Wish they had a larger one, but we are very happy with these. No scratches, even heat, clean easily. I would be surprised if you regret this purchase.

No heavier than any other pans! They are well made! I have them hanging from little brass hooks over my kitchen sink! Weight is relative to the person lifting them but in my opinion they are not heavy! Hope this helps. CDK

how much do they weigh? do you mean? I haven't weighed them, but they are pretty heavy. great pots. I love mine. I got mine at a thrift shop used though for real good deal, but they are great and so much healthier than metal pots and pans. get them. just don't pour cold water in them if they are hot from the stove, you will probably crack them. and don't drop them when they are full either.. but that's common sense. so to answer your question I don't know the exact weight, but they are heavy enough not thin and light weight

I use them on my gas stove. You will find that the handles get hot. Good Luck!

Yes they work great on a gas stove. We have used them for 20years and just bought this set to expand ours and replace one that was just worn out (after 20years of heavy use). Highly recommended!

I have been using them on an electric range however I have friends who use the same pots and pans on open gas burners with no problems. As is typical of gas cooking (which by the way I much prefer) there will be eventual discoloration on the bottoms of the cookware which is not uncommon with gas.

no, they are heavy and do not move. I cook on a gas range with grating and it's great. I love this cookware! Nice and heavy with heavy glass tops. And there is plenty of cookware. You only need this set.

Yes they have some weight They are great to cook on, just remember to heat them up just like you would your grill

not sure but they are all quite heavy.................great pans.......heat like cast iron ..... I also use them on my weber gas grill

They sure are, and work very well. The only issue I have is that they "squeal". I have a GE Profile induction cooktop, but that really shouldn't make any difference. I can hear the cookware, it's like a high pitched buzz, or squeal. It's not really that loud or obnoxious, but it is strange the first time you hear it! The pans are super durable, the non-stick is holding up well, and they heat evenly and quickly. A great deal in my opinion!

Yes, that's why I bought them. I am really happy with them. I cook with induction most of the time. I am sure you will like this set; I do. Kevin

These work beautifully on electric, gas and induction ranges. Haven't tried them on an outdoor grill though. I love mine.

I'm not sure, but they are NOT heavy at all. I've got lightweight things on them, but they would probably hold a light skillet or a small pitcher. I've seen that people have cast iron on them, but they seem a little too light, to me, for that.

i love these!! nice & heavy, cook evenly on my glass top stove ~ clean up great. wash great in dishwasher. I have no idea whether they are this that and the other "free"....probably you should check with the company on that.

I have an electric stove and they work great. Hopefully someone with a gas stove will also answer. With the electric they cook like other pots but they do hold the heat and it is an even heat that is not always with electric. Therefore I like these better.
