I was reluctant to buy this cookware set. Yes, I had heard repeatedly All-Clad was the industry standard. Yes, I had heard they (proudly) use made-in-America materials. But I thought, “Come on. It’s a round piece of metal you put over our current evolution of a campfire and wait for your hunk of animal carcass to finish turning brown enough that it won’t kill you. Can it be worth the price?” Yes. Yes it can. And it is.
Sure, you could buy approximately 80 McRibs instead, but all you’d be left with is extra weight and regret. Why not go for something more fulfilling like this cookware set?
I’ve been cooking seriously for years, and I’ve gone through several cheap pieces of nonstick cookware. They were like my first girlfriend. They were wonderful and treated me well at first, but they quickly fell apart and tried to poison me. These nonstick pans have withstood my regular cooking routine with no flaking, no scratching, and no chipping. Since I’m poor and single, I cook 6 dinners a week (plus lunches and breakfasts) at home; this cookware sees plenty of action. This cookware is my kitchen’s MVP. I have actually seen asparagus I was about to stir-fry try to run away because they knew these frypans mean business.
Here’s my short, serious review:
Pros—high-quality. Great construction and induction-safe (for those rich enough to have an induction stove). Works great on my traditional stovetop too.
SUPERB nonstick coating (the best I’ve ever used, without exaggeration). Easy to clean. You could, if you were brave, cook things without oil on these. I don’t recommend it, but you could.
Pretty even heat distribution (for non-stick cookware).
Handles stay cool even though they’re metal. It’s like magic.
Cons—heavy. Much heavier than your average residential-use cookware. To compare, about twice as heavy as T-fal of the same size and type. Although this is sort of a pro (heavy because they’re real metal), some might find it difficult to maneuver the saucepans or stockpots when they’re full.
Expensive. Self-evident from the price tag. All-Clad is well aware that they are the industry standard, and they charge the corresponding premium.
Bottom line: if you are serious about cooking your own food, or you want to get serious, this cookware is top-notch. It will make cooking more enjoyable for you, especially when it comes time to clean up.
DISCLAIMER—I have never washed my cookware in the dishwasher. The box says it is dishwasher safe, but I prefer to hand wash all my nonstick pans to keep the finish lasting longer. I cannot attest to how they hold up in the dishwasher.

Would be a 5 star but...
These pans are truly exceptional. However, I must express my disappointment with the design of the long handle. It seems evident that someone who lacks experience in the culinary arts was responsible for its creation. The presence of a groove down the middle, resulting in two thin steel pieces on either side of the handle, is a clear indication of this oversight. Regrettably, when attempting to lift a full pan using the handle, the thin edges press uncomfortably against my hand, causing significant discomfort and occasional pain. In order to rectify this issue, I am actively exploring the possibility of acquiring silicone handle covers to enhance the overall comfort and usability of these otherwise remarkable pans.
