All-Clad Copper Core 5-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set 7 Piece Induction Oven Broiler Safe 600F Pots and Pans Silver

This cookware is beautifully designed, easy to clean, and wonderful to cook on. I wish I had purchased this set years ago. Especially since my wife hasn't quit thanking me for purchasing them.

I love these very upgraded All Clad Copper Core that were in great shape and new! This was a great price that no one else could match. You do need to heat them first (not too hot), then add oil, and cook. The eggs and pancakes still stuck so I purchased the nonstick versions for those purposes. Also, you need copper cleaner for the copper trim and the All Clad cookware cleaner for the rest of the cookware to keep them looking new. It has been a little more work to keep them looking new and not to destroy the copper trim, but they work great. So those of you that think the copper disappeared, use copper cleaner. That brought my copper trim back and removed the tarnish.

Ok, we've had all levels of kitchen cookware over the years, usually purchased at one of the big box stores. It was all perfectly fine and did the job well. Then we started finding out about all of the stuff found in non-stick cookware and started shopping around and researching the kind of cookware that the pros use. We finally settled on All-Clad and zowie! what a difference. Yup, it's definitely not priced like the enameled, black, non-stick stuff that you can get anywhere. But, the quality is astonishing! This cookware will last us for a very long time and it is unsurpassed in heat distribution and ease of cleaning. The 5-layer copper and stainless steel makes the heat distribute evenly for every use, stovetop of oven cooking alike. We love it! I use a pinch of Bartender's Helper after wiping down a skillet and it looks like it just came out of the box! This 10-piece set is definitely an investment and if you learn to use it and properly heat it up before adding your food, you'll love it as much as we do!

Really well built, and I can’t wait to use them all

**Updated: I finally learned how to use these pans without the sticking issues during frying. I found guidance on you tube. The key is getting the pan very very hot. Hot enough that the water "mercury balls". See this video [...] After getting the pan hot enough to "mercury ball" you add your oil or meat and turn down the heat to a medium low. Clean up is very easy if you do this correctly. Frying meat in this method gives it a very nice browning and flavor. Original Post: My wife got tired of replacing Teflon pans every few years and was concerned about the health hazards of eating the Teflon as it flakes off over time. Based on that, I looked for a new set and was drawn to the All Clad based on many positive reviews on the web. Everyone seems to love All Clad, except for me. My advice to anyone is to realize what you are getting and giving up when you go to an all metal pan from Teflon based products. In short, be prepared to scrub! These don't clean up as easily. The remnants of eggs done in All Clad seem to defy basic laws of adhesion. Your friends will be impress with your newer stronger arms after owning these. All kidding aside, the clean up is a huge difference than common Teflon pans. When you move from a Chevy truck to a Porsche, there will be more maintenance and maybe the same applies to these high performance pans. They look beautiful and are built to last, but will require more maintenance.

These are, I in my most humble opinion, the finest pots you can buy. 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. The pots are even dishwasher safe although you may need to use copper polish to restore the bright finish of the exposed copper band if you do use the dishwasher. Please note, the pots won't do the cooking for you so if you have no idea what you are doing in the kitchen, you can still burn dinner or turn out a lousy meal...but at least you will have done it evenly and in style! On the other hand, because they cook so well, they could make learning to cook or expanding your cooking horizons a joy. A couple final notes. 1) 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. 2) They are expensive. I looked everywhere and could not find All-Clad discounted. Even retailers that carry the line are careful to exclude All-Clad when they have their big sales. That said, Amazon's price is as good as any, and with Amazon Prime, the pots were delivered to my door the day after I ordered them (all 54 pounds in one box) for only $3.99. 3) These are heirloom pots. I had a hard time reconciling paying so much for the set until I realized that we'll own these pots for the rest of our lives and that when we're gone, our children will continue to enjoy them.

Heat up and give even heat. A little hard to clean. Very well built. I would buy again.

A beautiful quality set and the pans and saucepans are a good size. Having said that the lids are poorly designed as the get so hot they burn my fingers.

Extraordinarily well made. Beautiful balance, great to handle, easy to clean.

These are the best pans we have ever purchased. They heat evenly and quickly. Expensive, but I expect them to be used by our children after we are gone :)

Good quality
