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.

Have been searching for quite awhile for a small stainless ladle. This is the PERFECT little ladle...unlike larger ones used for soups etc, this is just the right dimension for sauces, gravy or other small portions. Fits perfectly on the rack and blends with the remaining utensiles. Same great quality and ease of use associated with all the Rosle utensils. Very pleased!
