LEGEND COOKWARE 3 Ply Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Set | 11-Piece w/Glass Lids, Non-Toxic, Induction, Oven Safe | Best 18/8 Full Clad, Premium Kitchen Cooking, Chef Quality | PFOA, PTFE & PFOS Free

I waited a few months before writing this review because I wanted to test the pots and pans first. I purchased the 11-piece set in January, and I couldn’t be more pleased. This is my first stainless steel cookware set (I finally parted ways with my old non-stick set), and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with the quality. Not only are these pots and pans beautifully designed, but they’re also solidly constructed and feel very durable. The packaging was excellent — each item came with protective cardboard inserts and wrapped in soft cloth sleeves, which I really appreciated.Before using the set, I followed the recommended cleaning instructions and I’ve had no issues with food sticking. Cleaning has been incredibly easy — just warm water, soap, and a non-abrasive sponge (or sometimes even just a paper towel). On the rare occasions when something left a stain or slight discoloration, a small amount of Bar Keepers Friend brought everything back to looking brand new.I make sure to preheat the pans as advised, and they heat evenly on my gas stove. The handles are ergonomic and don’t get too hot to the touch, and while the pieces have a nice heft to them, they’re not overly heavy or cumbersome.The variety of pot sizes in the set is great, though I do wish a 2-quart saucepan had been included — hopefully that might be added in the future (maybe even as a piece that can be purchased separately).Overall, I’m thrilled with this set and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality stainless steel cookware at a very reasonable price point. As a bonus, the owner personally reaches out after purchase, which is a thoughtful and refreshing touch.

I searched far and wide to find this set. There are many sets out there that are cheaper (and less quality because of it) and many sets with fewer pieces, but quantity doesn't always beat quality. And looks aren't everything either. Some sets are beautiful, but they just don't last after much use.Far too many people of all kinds of products will review things as soon as they open the box and then never return to give their honest opinion.Well I have been using this set thoroughly, heavily, frequently, and I am so grateful to Legend that I can say easily that these are the best pans I've ever used in my life. The heat conductivity of the copper, the durability of the stainless steel, the evenness of cooking across the pan even if heat is touching just the edge. The beautiful lids are not glass which is a huge plus, the handles are extremely ergonomic. Everything I've cooked so far, chicken, steak, salmon, veggies, even eggs have been great.It takes some getting used to for those used to your average nonstick pans. Everything will need a little olive oil before cooking, and heat those pans before putting anything on there. Then it will be nonstick, but without the harmful chemicals.My set came with gold handles (probably brass?) and although it doesn't have any practical reason for being that way, I personally greatly appreciate the way it stands out from my old sets. The other legend cookware colors are equally as useful. It makes no difference other than it's pretty, so get whichever set you like. But stick with Legend because they do several versions of the clad technology that can suit any and every household.You really get more than what you pay for here. A set like this should be $2000 dollars. I feel like I'm stealing, and customer service is amazingly nice about it. They had a sale on their website and let me use that same deal on amazon. It doesn't get any better than that. I use these pans, I know now that they are exactly what they advertise.Keep in mind I have two warnings-- clean them exactly as they instruct, but I use barkeepers or baking soda, or boiled vinegar to keep them shiny clean and mirror polished. You can put them in the dishwasher but I want to treat my pans with some respect. They deserve it. These will last a lifetime if you do. But they are also a bit heavy, so if you are elderly, it may become more difficult to use frequently. It's just a fact of heavy metals.Durable, unharmful stainless steel, easy to clean if you do it smartly(!) Beautiful, and MAKES GOOD FOOD, WHAT ELSE MATTERS?I don't know but I was just so sick of buying my annual nonstick set for them to accumulate scratches and permanent burn marks and warping (I didn't go that crazy but it still happens). This set is more than worth the cost when you consider you won't have to buy anything else for a long time, and you get one of every pan you will need along with a plethora of lids. Go for it!!!!

So I did a lot of research before ordering this set. I’ve seen reviews about sticking and them not being as great and others saying they were wonderful. Well after using them a couple times since I got them I’ve loved them so far. This is the first set of stainless steel pans I’ve had. I also got barkeepers friend to use on them and they looked new again after I washed them. I let them cook to room temp ad it suggested and then washed them and dried them and I did not notice any water marks or discoloration to them. I made noodles, cheese sauce and grilled cheese and had no problems with any of it sticking. After the cheese sauce I just let it soak a little and it came out easy with the rougher side of the sponge. I would have to say they are definitely worth the cost and are very sturdy. Also never knew that stainless steel would heat a lot faster and it heated evenly too. I am never going to use non stick pans again lol. The only thing I wish is that the set had another sauce pan and 12 inch frying pan and it would have been perfect! Which if I would have bought the 5 ply set by them it did have more but it was out of my budget.
