All-CladD3 Stainless Steel Cookware Set - 10-Piece Pots and Pans Set, Induction, Oven Broiler Safe 600F - Includes Frying Pans, Saucepan, Sauté-Pan, Stockpot, Professional Cookware - Stainless Steel

I love this set! This is my first dip into expensive cookware. I have been cooking up a storm in these pans! If you’ve been looking around for reviews on this set, you probably have been seeing people saying “don’t buy a set, but prices individually” because certain pans won’t get used. Well, I have been using every single piece of my set. It was an amazing deal! It’s nice to have the consistency of heat and performance with the pans.Once you get a handle on the learning curve when switching to stainless, you get optimal browning and heat.They all clean up easy too! I might have to let a pan sit with warm water and soap, but they always end up wiping clean no matter how burnt on some stuff might get! It’s amazing to be able to clean the pan by making a sauce with the fond while cooking.I can’t recommend the pans enough, they have upped my cooking game significantly. They’re beautiful, sturdy, and high quality cookware that I will probably outlive me as long as it’s taken care of. You get what you pay for!

These pans are great, although sometimes I do wonder if they are worth the maintenance. I would probably give them 4.5 stars if I could.Pros:- They cook really well. They distribute heat very evenly and are great for browning meats and deglazing. They feel solid and are just nice to cook with. Definitely top of the line in this regard.- American-made, if that is important to you.Cons:- Expensive. Costco has a set that looks just like these for a fraction of the price. I have no doubt that these will perform better when cooking, but I am not sure by how much.- Hard to clean.If you are a clean freak like me and think you'll just be able to wash these with soap and water and be done, you're in for a rude awakening. You need to use Barkeeper's Friend, which is a stainless steel cleaner that comes in a powder form. I hit them with that stuff at least every other time I wash them, otherwise you'll get discolorations, water marks, and stains over time. You also can't let them air dry, because, again, you will get ugly water marks.I do throw my pots/pans in the dishwasher regularly, and I think they have lost some of their shine, but I don't really care. They still look great when I keep up with using the stainless steel cleaner. Some people have said they are not dishwasher safe. All-Clad says they are definitely dishwasher safe, but will lose their brilliance over time when washed in the dishwasher.- Lids are not heavy enough. They aren't flimsy, but they are very light. You can't cook rice in these pots without weighing down the lid, which is pretty dumb. I don't know why you would ever want such a light lid.- The pans are pretty small. If you want to cook a meal for a bunch of people, you're not going to be able to do it in these pans. It feels kind of crazy to spend $700 on this set, and then have to spend another $200 on a decent-sized frying pan. If you're usually cooking for one or two people this won't be an issue though.Overall: I am happy with them, but they're not perfect. I'd probably recommend just buying a set at Costco unless you make a lot of money or just really want to make the investment.

This All-Clad Cookware Set is an outstanding choice for anyone that loves to cook. This set is awesome, and offers exceptional durability due to its construction. They have a quick and even heat distribution, which significantly improves cooking performance for things like searing and browning.Being able handle temperatures up to 600°F, makes them suitable for use in the oven which I’ve done for Cinnamon rolls. The set is also relatively easy to clean, with most food residues coming off easily with a bit of soaking and scrubbing, and their dishwasher safe. I still use vinegar and baking soda after each use to shine them back up.In addition to its practical benefits, the polished stainless steel finish adds a sleek, professional look to any kitchen. Although this set is a significant investment, the durability, performance, and aesthetic appeal make it well worth the price, ensuring it will be a valuable addition to the kitchen.

The media could not be loaded. When you first receive it, the pots came in a used package. It was an Amazon return & it was packaged fairly well, but there was some loose ends inside which is expected from a returned item.Pros:These are medium to high end cooking ware. It is not the D5, but the D3. The D3’s are lighter and are better for a gas stove. We are better because they do not hold as much heat therefore, you do not need that much energy in your shop to change temperatures.They don’t hold as much heat as a D5 but for my application and my poor abilities of cooking it works well. I don’t usually cook, but I can boil water very well.Keeping them clean seems to be tedious but with some water and soap and a cleaner, you’re OKCon: They’re not the heavy duty D5. they are lighter and don’t feel sturdy in your hands. So if you’re doing saucing, it does not work as well.Overall, I give these a five. The cost to product value is great.So when my cooking friends come over my house, I have reasonable good pots and pans for them to make me a tasty dish

I bought these on a prime day sale a couple years ago. I hate myself for using nonstick until now. It takes 5-10 minutes to learn how to cook in stainless steel if you don’t already. I still use this for eggs and fish too. I literally ditched all nonstick for these. I loved them so much when they went back on sale on another Prime day I bought them for my son’s wedding present. I think every newlywed couple or young adults starting out would be hard pressed to find a better set for the money on a Prime day sale.
