This is a foundation set of high quality cookware, suitable for any serious home cook. With stainless steel exteriors over aluminum cores, the pots distribute heat evenly, yet the cooking surfaces are non-reactive. While they do not have non-stick coatings, when used as directed (preheating oil in the pans before adding food to be fried), food usually doesn't stick to the pans, and you certainly don't have to worry about Teflon flaking off into your food. The stainless steel surfaces are also easy to clean.

If you are used to cheaper cookware, there are a few differences with these pots that you will need to get used to. First, since the pots are heavier than single-layer pots, the balance point for pouring a pot with one hand is right up against the pot itself, rather than out along the handle. And since the handles are solid steel, that means you will definitely need to use a pot holder for pouring, although you can usually touch the handles bare handed if you're simply moving the pots around on the stove. Also, the handles for the lids are steel, so you need to use a pot holder just to lift a lid (and remind visitors to do the same, so that they don't burn their hands). While the cookware is made in the Canonsburg, PA, the lids are marked "Made in China."

This is our first set of stainless cookware and so far has been easy to clean. We changed from the nonstick for health reasons and are happy with the purchase.

I was reluctant to give up my worn out non-stick pots and pans, but due to potential health issues associated with them, I bought the All-Clad 10 piece cookware. Surprisingly this cookware is very easy to clean. For the tougher jobs, a little pre-soak is all that is needed. Although a little pricey, these pots and pans cook food evenly and fast. They are heavy, and the handles will get hot so pot holders will be necessary. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Got this product for a shower gift at a great price from chef's kitchen. very nice product and wonderful service, shipping on time, etc.

If you have a glass cooktop do not use All Clad because they warp and the manufacturer will not replace them. I had one for about one year and treated it like gold. It warped so badly that the non-stick surface pealed up. The manufacturer refused to replace it. That was $250 dollars down the drain.
