I can find nothing to take to task on the All-Clad tools. I have nearly all the tools they make and I like them all. They are easy to clean, no nooks for stuff to get stuck. They fit well in the hand and have a substantial, but not heavy, feel to them. Their shape is very good for the task at hand. The sole negative is their price but when balanced against the good, including the fact that they should last longer than the cook, they are a bargain at the price.

Restaurant-supply quality tools (overlooking that restaurant suppliers' tools often aren't twenty bucks a pop or quite as heavy). Their weight and the size of the spoons may take some getting-used-to, but as others have stated once you do anything of lesser quality just won't do.

Each tool's handle is pierced for hanging, plenty long enough for stockpots, and stay cool. The turner is ridged with a beveled edge; unsuitable for serving up pie, but great for flipping burgers or scraping loose the fond when deglazing. The canister, by comparison, is too light-weight and tips if balance isn't maintained, unlike the Le Creuset canister, which easily handles the weight of these five tools however they're plunked in.

How many times have you reached for your favorite tool and found it was in the dishwasher or sink, waiting to be scrubbed clean? How many spoons have you purchased and tossed away?

Stylish and easy to clean, these heavy-duty tools are great. I was pleased to see that their handles mimick the handles to my all clad pots. The container is also large enough to accomodate more tools (start shopping).

Quick re-use eliminates the turnaround time with other tools. I think these will last longer since there is no wood to split, no screws to snap, and no plastic to get stained and funky.

Nice gift, since it arrives in a large, colorful cylinder package. Another hit!

After reading the glowing reviews, we thought we would splurge and buy a really good set. While they all appear nice and shiny and are made with sturdy stainless steel to last a lifetime, my wife and I found the functionality of three of the pieces limited.

Both spoons are surprising shallow and on the small side, so they hold very little.

And in addition to the spatula being on the small side, it doesnt have any holes for draining things such as bacon fat, etc.

Personally, we also didnt like the fact that the handles on all the pieces are indented which sends your thumb into a depression, instead of rounded handles which are more common.

We are returning them for stainless steel pieces we found at Crate and Barrel that are similar in quality but have spoons that are slightly larger and deeper, spatulas with holes for drainage, rounded handles and all at half the cost.

This is a great kit to go along with any All-Clad cookware collection that you might have going already. Though it comes with a very nice looking stainless steel cup, I prefer to use the hanging rack (also available on Amazon if you search for "all-clad hanging rack"). Plus its not hard to find an alternate use for the cup for something else.

My opinion is going to be somewhat biased because I love everything All-Clad. Everything they make seems to have some kind of heft and beauty that I just cant resist. There aren't many things in the kitchen that you can use and abuse with the kind of ferocious angst as with an All-Clad Product.

This tool kit is quality at a great price.

These are the best utensils. The tools and the crock are excellent quality 18/10 stainless steel, and very easy to clean. The polished stainless is so gorgeous you can definitely use them to serve as well. The handles match the handles of the All Clad cookware line. They are an excellent design and quality that will last a lifetime. An All Clad must have! Highly recommended! A+

The All-Clad 6-piece Stainless steel tool set costs more but it is worth it in terms of functionality and general appearance. In fact, we leave the tools and the companion stainless holder on the back of our stove top ...it keeps them close by for easy access and they look very attractive. The downside ... you'll like them so much that next time you will be reluctant to settle for a substitute ...if you want cheap stay away from All-Clad, if you want value All-Clad is the choice ...

All Clad made in China utensils are very sturdy, heavy, high quality, and excellent. This set is the perfect match for All Clad stainless cookware, since there is no fear of damaging the pans. If your cookware is mostly non-stick or can be damaged, then these tools are useless.

The ladle is far larger than I expected. It follows the standard All Clad handle setup, so no hook on the end to hang off the edge of a stock pot.

Spatula is a good size and works quite well.

The fork, spoon, and slotted spoon are what you would expect.

The lack of the most useful took - All Clad tongs is obviously there to force folks to shell out more cash. I use the tongs for so many cooking chores - flipping, mixing stir fry, pulling noodles, etc. I use the fork and spoons a few times a year, so the most useful items in the set for me are the spatula, ladle, and utensil holder.

After watching my mother use her All-Clad tool set over the last two years, and seeing how well it has held up, I decided to go ahead and purchase this item. I have not been disappointed, the quality is amazing. The tools have a very solid feel to them, yet they are balanced and not too heavy. They clean SO easily, and are even dishwasher safe. We are throwing away all of our old tools and replacing them with All-Clad - it's amazing! Amazon's price can't be beat.... I know for a fact that my Mom paid full retail through a very well known catalog (ending in Sonoma). Amazon's price was half of that. If you are contemplating this set, DO IT! You won't regret it.

I agree that these utensils are well made. My only qualm is that "China" is etched on to the back of the fork utensil. Not a big deal, but I wish it wasn't there.
