Is this cookware heavy? Getting older and want something little lighter in weight than the calphalon set I am now using. Thanks.

The pans are not heavy but lose their lustre very soon. They look old before they actually are. Hope this helps

Hi! That was one of the reasons I wanted new cookware as well! This is not heavy which makes cooking so much easier! This is the best set of cookware I have ever owned!

it depends. As an older person one of your concerns should be bone density. given that, one way to improve bone density is to lift weights. I do not think the pans are heavy. i am 52 years old. perhaps you could look at it as a way to lift weights without having to go to the gym!

They're pretty heavy. The small 2qt pan weighs almost 2 lbs with out the lid. The lid adds another 12 oz. 3 qt is a little over 2 1/2 lbs without the lid, the 10 inch skillet is almost 3 lbs. I've had mine for 7+ years and I still use at least one almost daily. Love them.

Yes, our dishes are fairly heavy too. It does require some thoughtful stacking sometimes, but we're still very happy with it. As for heavy pots, we tend to let those dry separately, on the stovetop or we just dry them immediately.

This pan is a nice solid pan. It weighs more than your less expensive aluminum pans weigh but that is because it is made very well. I have the whole set and I love these pans. The pan you have in question is a much safer pan because it has an additional grab handle on the other side of the long handle. It makes it much easier to lift the pan with the food inside thus giving you even leverage. I think it will be okay to get for anyone who is still cooking meals. You can always return the pan if she has a hard time with it. You probably may want to keep it for yourself.

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

Sorry. I have no idea. I didn't know there were different grades. It seems plenty heavy enough. I read several years ago that there may be a connection to using aluminum and alzimers so I have changed to all stainless steel cookware.

The cookware has a matt finish. Is it a heavy well that is relavent to what. It's lighter than lets say a cast iron pan. But heavy enough. They are well made and look good. So go for it. Happy cooking

Hi.. I do not know what its weight is. the lid is very light of course, being aluminum. The bottom/cooking pan part is steel so its not lightweight--its also not near as heavy as cast iron. I have carpal tunnel and use it quite easily but it is something I need to draw close to my body when washing and moving off the stove. so it has some weight just not a lot. It is heavy enough to make really good surface for even cooking. I love it, we use ours, I got 2 of my kids their own for Christmas this year too and they also love it. hope that helps.

I believe so. It is heavier than usual (this is my first set of good cookware in my life & I'm almost 60). It has a flat smooth stainless steel bottom.

No, Farberware is user friendly. I consider cast iron pots and pans heavy,but not Farberware. I use mine every day! Its all I've ever used in my 42 years of marriage.

Not that heavy. I replaced one recently and it's not as heavy as the original. However, I'm still happy with the pan. It's just not quite as good as the first one I bought.

Not very heavy. I am nearly 70 years old and suffer with weak hands and wrists, but never have any problems lifting or moving the pressure cooker even when filled to capacity.I can highly recommend it for use by a pensioner

Its not too heavy, about the same as a Calphalon wok. But it had some spots of discoloration after a few uses, I ended up returning it for that reason.

Heavy is a subjective term. It's sold in stores. Go check it out. The ceramic pot is the majority of the weight of this slow cooker. The metal base has handles on it. I would leave it in the base if you have to move it for serving. It will protect whatever surface you have it on from the heat of the pot.

Yes. That is a mistake. The pan is not at all that heavy. These pans are one of my best kitchen investments. I highly recommend them. And it makes me feel much safer to know that I am not adding any chemicals like teflon to my foods.

I weighed ours on our bathroom scale 3 times...7#. Definitely not light-weight, but speaks well for the even heating of the cookware.

It's a great quality pot with a solid bottom. I would say not too heavy but not light either. I use mine on an induction stove.
