How heavy are these pans? My mom wants a nice set of cookware but requests something that isn't too heavy to pick up or hang.

Heavier than my old Revere ware but a delight to cook with. Comparable to Calphalon weight. Hope this helps.

Weight is light but not flimsy. I think you will be happy with them. I weighed the largest skillet just now. It's almost 3 pounds. Larger sauce pan is 2 1/2 pounds. Does that help?

I think your mom will love this set I purchased circlulon products before and I love the fact that the pots cook well and are lightweight. She should not have a problem with them . The only problem I have with them is keeping up with which one of my children borrowed them and forgot to return it

They are a little heavy because good pans are heavy. These pans are the best and worth every penny. I bought just a few for my mom, mother in-law, & both if my daughters last year for Christmas and now all 4 of them are asking for more this year. I've have Emeril's pans, Caphalon pans & T-Fal pans, among others, and Circulon is by far the best pans!

Considering the quality of this set they're not too heavy. Excellent set. I've had them for over a year and the mrs loves them. Obviously the larger pots weigh more but that's to be expected.

Please note that these pans are THE best but Yes they are heavy and if your mama has difficulty picking up a frying pan with one hand then Circulon is too heavy for her.

They are not too heavy, about your typical nonstick cookware weight. My mom owns these and she doesn't have any problems with them being too heavy to handle. I hope this helps!

This pan is about the same weight, maybe a little lighter to handle. I bought this pan for my 80 year old Mother. She still has to cook or bake everyday. She wanted a nice pan that she could use on the stove top and in the oven. I 1st bought her a cheaper one. She did not know the cost of either pan. She hated the 1st pan. When she received this one, she started using it immediately. She is able to lift and carry it, and no longer worries about dropping pans with one handle. I am very pleased that she uses it as much as she does, and I am glad she likes it. You will not be sorry to have this awesome pot in your kitchen.

If you don't like heavy pans, look for something else. Without the lid I estimate this pans weighs something close to 2.5 lbs. Most of the weight is in the handle and with the added weight of the lid and what ever it is you're preparing, this pan can be quite a handful. Other than the weight issue these pans have performed fantastically and I love cooking with them!

Mine aren't heavy either - just well made. Have used them for cheesecakes, mostly, for a long, long time.

I wouldn't call them heavy. They have the weight of stone wear. They aren't particularly light either. If you need a lightweight dish a thin China or corelle brand dishes may be best

They are not as heavy as say a steel or cast iron skillet. I use them on an electric stove and have no trouble at all. It is a nice set of pans. Hope this helps.

I don't really know how to respond to that without being objective but I would say that they have their weight to them without being too heavy. (And with this I am referring to the larger pieces.) I would tell you that if you are interested in this set, I've owned mine for 8 months now and they still look brand new and I use these pretty much every day. Hope this helps.

I have several that I use to hold pots and pans. One holds two large Corning Ware roasting pans that weigh a total of 12.5 pounds. I have others holding dinnerware that weighs at least as much. Have had no problem with any of them.

They are heavy. Not at all like Corelle. Less than Fiestaware though. I hope this is helpful.

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!

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.

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.

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.

the thickness of the bottom of the pots is not tooooo thick. they have a nice weight to them, but they are not too heavy. I have a flat top stove and I haven't tried cooking on gas with them. They are perfect. I cook a lot. I have burned stuff on them (my negligence) and they clean up great. I was making caramel with sugar. I BURNED SUGARD, A WHOLE CUP. the pots came out clean. I washed them by hand and it wasn't hard to clean up. I love these. I use them everyday. I'm buying another set soon for my daughter.

they are not heavy like cast or anything I would say medium weight and I gotta say best pans I have ever used or owned still as good as the day I bought them the only regret you will have is you didn't buy them sooner :)

I believe they are heavy in a "good way". They feel very solid, not cheap at all. I use them every day and am very satisfied with the way they cook. I am not good at estimating weight....but as I said, to me they feel very solid.

They are weighted. Are they solid? That's a good question. They are not cheaply made, I'm happy with the set. I've seen more expensive that I didn't like as much.
