This cookware is virtually identical to All-Clad. Cook and cleans up like a dream.

After months of researching for a set of nice stainless steel cookware set, without breaking the bank, I came across this set from Consumer's Report. At first, I didn't take CR's recommendation too seriously, mainly because of the brand and place that carries them (Sam's club). However, after reading numerous reviews, I decided to give this set a shot, as it was hundreds less than its next closest competitor that is Calphalon.

I've had this set of cookware for over 4 years now and I have to say, it's been awesome! The quality if top notch and clean up has been very easy. The tri-clad construction holds the heat well and distributes the heat evenly... and is also durable. I was considering Cuisinart's stainless steel set but it was only a single clad, and it felt like a soda can.

The only gripe I have is the handle could be a bit larger. It's thin, width-wise, and makes it awkward to handle when it's heavy. All in all, I've been extremely happy and impressed with this set. If anyone should ask me if I'd recommend this cookware set, I'd say YES without any hesitation!

This cookware is wonderful! It's like having a set of All Clad at a mere fraction of the price. I'm sure there must be a difference in quality somewhere, but I'm not a professional chef, so I can't tell the difference. Really good value for the money!

I've had Members' Mark Tri-Clad cookware for about six years and love it. It is heavily used, especially the skillets, and it still looks almost new. One can see the three layers of steel-aluminum-steel at the edge of the pot. It cooks very evenly and does not rock or tilt. The set fits together beautifully: with the steamer, you can steam one item in the steamer, and cover the steamer with another pot with a cover. Very efficient! I guess you could even put a vegetable steamer in the bottom pot, only be very careful of the flavors being all cooked together.
I'd used All-Clad at someone else's house, which was where I fell in love with the tri-clad cookware, although not the extreme price. I was overjoyed to find Members' Mark, affordable and like All-Clad. It does not seem to be different from All-Clad, maybe a tiny bit lighter. The results are the same.
I doubt I'd ever get rid of this set. Apparently it is harder to find now, but GET IT if you can!!!!
