Magma 7 Piece Gourmet Nesting Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Induction Compatible, Oven Safe to 500°F - Suitable for All Stovetops, Removable Handles, Black

Wanted to wait a few months before writing a review. My wife and I live aboard (mostly) on our boat and use these pans on a daily basis. We are foodies and are learning how to cook on our boat and have been able to make most of our favorite dishes. Anything we haven't been able to make aren't due to the pans, but rather the limitations of a galley versus gourmet kitchen.I'll start with Cons as they are fewer:Cons:VERY heavy. Storing these pans needs some planning, lifting from behind things or if it can drop needs to be addressed.Handles are heavy and break if they fall.Handle stowage inside the pots (as shipped) isn't a good idea, they fall out all the time and they actually dented one of the pans. We stow in a drawer.Heavy, we have a glass topped electric range on our boat so it poses a risk of cracking the top if put down hard. Weight may help in heavy seas as the weight is all at the bottom.Pros:VERY nice pots to cook with.Heavy duty everyday use pans.Nice lip on the pans to keep spillage at a minimum but still have a pan (versus a pot).We also got the colander, good design and we actually boil pasta in the colander to make draining safer and easier.They hold up well to heavy use, we actually use our Kenyon electric grill to cook things like bacon and use these pans on the grill to keep the bacon grease contained and they are holding up no problem.All in all, we are very happy with this purchase. If you have an RV, Boat, or small kitchen and need space with great pans these are a good choice. The footprint that they take up is very reasonable and they clean up very easily.

After reading the reviews, I purchased this seven piece Ceramica non-stick induction set six months ago for our new RV. We cook a lot and I find that good tools make life easier by performing well consistently and thus are usually worth the investment. (Proved to be true when we recently rented a house on VRBO for a vacation and the cheap kitchen tools and pans were a nightmare to use, food stuck & burned.) The Magma pans work so well that I took them out of the RV to use in my home kitchen when we're not traveling. I have good cookware but these perform as well or better, weigh less, clean up faster and take up less space because of how they store. We cook daily meals plus make daily dog food for our aging German Shepherd so this set gets heavy use. At that pace we have used and trashed one large sauté pan every six months, even top expensive brands. This Ceramica non-stick coating has held up so much better that I am back to buy the larger ten piece set for daily home use, plus the colander & the stir fry pan. I like that the base heats quickly and evenly, giving a good sear, and the pan edges are no drip. I thought I would prefer my glass lids over these (they are stainless steel) but I have come to prefer these; they fit well, weigh less and clean up faster than my glass and ceramic coated cast iron lids. I like that the pot handles are sturdy, easy to attach & stay secure. We accidentally placed a pan so a handle jutted out over a pilot light - it got really but it didn't sustain damage.I bought the induction capable set because we will use a portable induction cooktop during our upcoming kitchen remodel, but I can't comment on that yet since I have so far only used these on propane and natural gas burners.Hey Magma! Please make a square or oblong ceramica non-stick griddle (multi burner?) for separate purchase. It would be great if the handle could attach & if the sides were a couple inches high so we could make baked pancakes, cakes, & casserole style dishes on stovetop or in oven. I use the large round pot for it now, but square pieces are easier (thus less messy) for my kids to handle. I know it doesn't stack like the other pieces, but I have a cheap square one with rounded corners (maybe 8-10" square) and when the Magma set is bungeed closed it just fits inside the cheapie pan on an extra of your grey pads to cushion against scratches. If the bungee cord were longer could it secure diagonally underneath that and up over the round pot set? I'm not the only mom who would buy it.Thank you for great products!

These pans are really quite beautiful, well made, work very well on an inductive cooktop. They nest together, and come with two handles that clip onto the pot into a bracket on the SIDE of the pot A few years ago I purchased a very similar set called Galleyware. My biggest dislike of the Galleyware set was that the handles clipped onto the top edge of the pot which caused the pot's lid to not seat correctly. Part of the lid would rest on the handle creating too big of a space between the pot and lid. We purchased a small RV and I moved the Galleryware set to the RV, and purchased this Magma set for our home base. The Magma set is a little heavier, but I love its even cooking, the way the lids set on the pots, the TWO handles, and the small storage footprint in my tiny kitchen. This set is pricey, but a great one-time investment to me and my kitchen. I also had some Amazon points to use with my purchase, and I believe this pan set was worth every penny.
