I had purchased these pans to replace a set of Farberware Milenium cookware. I am more than pleased with this set and the way they do keep the heat regulated well and clean up easy.

The price for value proposition is certainly met for this set. Though, I would have liked a lid for the fying pans. The quality is what I was looking for and the Made in the USA aspect is what we should be looking for. I'll buy more pieces in the near future.

Perhaps the quality problem I had with the 10 piece Marcus Samuelsson Cookware set I bought was unusual as I haven't read of anyone else describing it. The laminated metals, stainless, aluminum, stainless were not properly bonded on three of the pans in my set. Examining the top edges of the pans revealed little ridges with gaps in sections of the three layers of metal on each of the three pans, these were also palpable with my finger nail and looked unfinished. The cookware set is nicely designed with snug fitting lids, comfortable handles to hold and each of a respectable weight. I thought my search was over for a new set of pots when I read about these and if my set not had lamination issues I would have kept them, instead they were returned to chef's catalog unused so I can only assume they would have performed well on the stove.

I purchased the 10-piece stainless steel cookware set and a 10" open stock skillet about one month ago. My wife and I have been very pleased with this cookware. Our previous cookware was Calphalon Commercial Hard Anodized, made in Toledo, Ohio. We were very pleased with the Calphalon cookware. In fact we have given those pots and pans to our sons for their own kitchens. However, I wanted to switch to multi-ply stainless steel cookware for some time. Our previous hard anodized aluminum cookware responded very quickly to changes in temperatures. However, my wife and I have found that multi-ply stainless steel heats up and cools down slightly slower than hard anodized aluminum. In fact these multi-ply pans retain heat more like cast iron. Following the directions to use medium heat settings has given us very good results. Soaking in water and using Bar Keepers Friend stainless steel cleaner has made clean up very easy. It was very important for me to purchase cookware made in the U.S.A. or to be more accurate, I wanted to avoid "Made in China" cookware. I'm not opposed to Chinese cookware. I just have found, in my research, that current Chinese made cookware lacks consistent quality control. I considered All-Clad stainless steel, however the price was prohibitively high. When I discovered Marcus cookware made in U.S.A. by Regal Ware, I was excited that the price was easier on the wallet. I had some questions about this cookware and sent emails to Regal Ware. Chris Robason, National Sales Manager for Regal Ware, answered each of my emails very promptly. He assured me that Marcus Cookware, including the lids, were made in West Bend, Wisconsin. Also, he informed me that Regal Ware is going to add open stock pieces to the Marcus/Unity line of cookware. The Regal Ware website already shows a new 12" saute pan has been added to this line of cookware. The Marcus/Unity cookware is very high quality. The stainless steel, aluminum tri-ply construction heats evenly, is very sturdy, and has good, balanced weight. The brushed, stainless steel handles are very comfortable. I really like the helper handles on the sauce pans. The lids fit very well and have enough weight to sit firmly on the pans. Also, knowing that Regal Ware is going to add more pieces of cookware to the Marcus/Unity line shows their commitment to providing quality, reasonably priced, American made products. The only improvement I would recommend, is to add a rolled edge to the pans for easier pouring.

The handles are long, which is a great thing until you try to store them. If you plan to hang them, the handles are perfect for that. They work great - glad the pans are not coated. They have been very easy to clean.
