I'm looking for something that is not too heavy. Are these lighter weight than stoneware?

These are lighter than other stoneware, but they are a little noisy putting away. If I were 75 years old, I would get something lighter.

I think they are lighter than most stoneware on the market. We have been very happy with these so far. Very durable and no problems in the dish washer.

A little. I got white ones and am very happy with them except for the bowls. Very good salad bowls. Lousy soup bowls...not deep at all.

I have the Vanilla Rice set, and I think they are just right. Lighter than stoneware, but feel substantial in the hand. They are not fragile dishes. I have pretty serious Arthritis in my neck, shoulders, and hands, and I have no trouble with them.

no they are not heavy like some aluminum clad, they are very similar to sets from the 70's

Hi there, I think they are stoneware- heavier and a little more durable than ceramic, but some folks refer to them as ceramic. I hope my answer helps!

Hi: I am really not an expert but I do have some basic knowledge through my own personal research over the years due to my own awareness of what materials I am cooking my food in. Stoneware is simply a clay type of material and completely safe. Ceramic has a different type of finish. Stoneware is more clay type base but both of those are great to cook in. There are no safety standards based on my research. Actually it is highly recommended.

They are lightweight. If you want more of a heavyweight bowl you might want to check out the OXO bowls, however I don't believe they come with "lids" like these do.

I would say they are more light weight, but not too light. I have a set of heavier ones from Costco and these are lighter than those. For basic cooking they would be fine, but might be prone to denting if used harshly.

They are like stoneware. Heavier than corelle...definitely breakable. It's a nice quality.

These pots are aluminum without weighted bottoms. They are not by any means lightweight, but neither are they "heavy weight". I do have a problem with pots sliding on my stove top grates, but that is due to the grates more than the pots. If that's a principal concern for you you should look at pots and pans with thick heat disbursement bottoms. For the price I am very happy with the quality and performance of this set.

Yes... By CorningWare... Stoneware... Is sturdy for everyday use. Not white-white, tho.More of a creamy white. Am happy with purchase.

They are not heavy. I don't think they are any better than any other knife.

I have the black ones. They are stoneware. I ordered from Amazon, and was extremely disappointed that they were not bone china. That said, a million trips through the dishwasher, and they still look brand new. Well made, but NOT bone china.

It will be personal reference really. This set has a medium/average weight in the hand. There are heavier sets but personally for me its too much and not needed. This set is also on sale right now too. I'm going to order another so I will have an 8 pc setting. A suggestion for you is to go to a better store and feel flatware and compare how they weigh and feel in your hands to really know.

I don't know the weight but they are heavy. Needed lighter weight and chose Corelleware and really like them.

No, the dishes are not heavy. The longer I have them, the more I like them.
