- They're solid, beautiful (if you're into pots) and well designed. If cooking is your passion, you can do no better. The internal copper core does an outstanding job of spreading the heat evenly and the interior and exterior stainless steel cleans up easily.
- This particular set is about perfect for most uses. For me, I add a small (1.5Q) saucier, a double boiler and a steamer insert, and I feel like I have all the bases covered.
- Heat distribution is absolutely perfect - regardless of whether you’re working on a gas or electric cooktop.
- Stainless steel is by definition NOT a non-stick metal. But if you treat it properly and use sound cooking practices your food will not stick.
- Each time I hand washed with dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge. The mistake was you need to let the pan sit by itself until it's really good on and hot, on medium heat.
- Very solid feel, they are not light weight. Heat distribution is VERY even. They clean up very nicely, and look professional grade. We are very happy we made this purchase!
- Very strong construction, love the triple welded handles. Covers fit snug and also well made.
- A very nice cookware set that works great! Excellent price for 13-piece set. Perfect with our new Max Burton 6000 Induction Burner.
- My old wonky-bottom pans wouldn't work on my new glass top stove. This cookware set is great!! The bottoms are perfectly flat, so they make great contact with the stovetop.
- 6QT Pot does NOT come with any inserts and finding them is time wasted plus an extra expense.
- Uneven cooking. when using the 12" pan, frying bacon or searing meats, for example, the center would get good and hot while the sides did not. I know this because the meats/bacon would be crisp when cooked in the middle and soggy near the perimeter.
- Performance is great! The pan heats evenly with about 20-40 difference, measured with an ir temp gun. No problem with sticking eggs or pancakes.
- Very easy to clean with a sponge and the stainless steel cleaner. Haven't noticed any scratches forming our discoloration. Makes cooking fun.
- The pots are heavy. All-Clad definitely did not skimp on the materials. Fortunately, for the heaviest pots, they have a secondary handle on the lip of the pot to help you lift.
- To me, the look is clean and elegant, but functional. But of course, we don't buy pots and pans for how they look...for whatever reason, I just find that I'm a better cook with All-Clad.
- The balance of these pans is perfect. I can toss one in the air and it will perform a perfect 360 and land back in the palm of my hand. (
- The handles are long and comfortable, but you do need to use hotpads both on the pot handles and the lid if you've been simmering something for awhile. They get pretty hot.
- The lids all fit perfectly and keep the pans sealed well while cooking.
- Great set of cookware. Triple ply is excellent for heat distribution. They hang on a pot rack and look good doing it too!
- Easy to clean. Glass lids to see whats going on inside.
- Only drawback for us was the narrow design of the handles. The weight of the pans, plus adding in ingredients, makes the narrow handles dig into the hands a little.
- Drawback on these pots is the handles are skinny, and can be a challange to keep level when moving.
