Both the 6 and 8 quart stockpots are must haves for your All Clad cookware collection. The 6 is great for sauce, a pound of lasagna or rigatoni, soup or stew and the 8 quart is a must have for my favorite meatballs that I cook in my sauce with sausage and steak. At first I didn't think I would need both but now that I do I can imagine doing all the Italian cooking that I do with out them. I can get my sauce and meatballs cooking in the 8 quart and start boiling lasagna noodles in the 6 quart. I love them both.

These pans are made very well, heat evenly, are very easy to clean and are designed to last. All Clad cookware is one of the most expensive lines around and it is worth every penny, it really is lifetime cookware (backed by a lifetime warranty). This pan is a definite must have. Very, very highly recommended! A+++!...

Nothing tastes better on a blustery winter's day than a steaming bowl of homemade soup or stew. And, nothing is better to prepare it in than this All-Clad Stockpot.

It seems that a stockpot is one kitchen item that never wears out, so I'd been making do with what we had. But, when I was fortunate enough to be gifted with this stockpot from All-Clad I couldn't believe the difference!

It has a thick conductive base that spreads the heat evenly, not just where the burner might hit it. And, it has solid stainless steel walls that keep the heat in. The lid fits snugly, and it simmers away for hours emitting the most delicious aromas.

The brushed exterior gives it a great look, and it is made to conform to All-Clad's estimable high standards. Soup's on!

Not only is All Clad stainless cookware superb, the nonstick is superb as well! I am not a fan of nonstick in general however I make an exception with fry pans. Eggs and cheese are just so much healthier when they are cooked with less oil. That being said I have the 7, 8 & two of the 10 inch All Clad nonstick fry pans and I couldn't be happier with them. I have 2 of the 10 inch so I can make two 3 egg omelets at the same time. I find the 10 inch is perfect for 3 eggs, my husband and I prefer our omelets loose or slightly runny versus dry and this is a great size for that, it is also great for several scrambled eggs or breakfast sausage. The 8 inch is perfect for a 2 egg omelet or scrambled eggs and the 7 inch is perfect for 1 or 2 eggs or sausage. The 7" is a great fry pan for just about any small item you could imagine. You will love it!

All Clad fry pans (and the entire All Clad cookware collection) are first class, top quality, well made, designed to last and come with a lifetime warranty. Make sure you only use silicone (my choice), nylon or wooden utensils and hand wash only. The hand washing is a breeze since this nonstick collection is made so well... All Clad makes more sense for your wallet and the environment and wouldn't you rather use "crème de la crème" professional quality cookware than junk? I know I would!

Highly recommended! A+++!

Good Bakers, rather small, but they fit what I use them for very well. Being single I don't usually cook for large groups. I like to make a dish based on a tofu burger recipie with them. I start off on the stovetop then transfer them to the oven to finish cooking. They are great for that. Two personal sized dishes that come out well formed. Stainless is easy to maintain with a little care. If this is the size dish you are looking to cook, it is a great little baker.

When purchasing our original All-Clad cookware, we explicitly went for the 6-qt Dutch oven/stockpot, since we are a family of two. While the 6-qt has served us well for several years, I discovered I'd need the slightly greater volume when making some fruit preserves this summer. So I bought the 8-qt.

It's been a joy to own and use. Unlike the 6-qt, whose handles get a mite warm after long stove-top cooking, the 8-qt handles rarely get hot, even after cooking on a gas range for a couple of hours. I don't regret our original purchase decision, but I do like the 8-qt version a bit better than the 6-qt now.

This pan is handy for small jobs when you want to cook 1 hamburger, sautee 1/2 onion, roast some spices, etc.

It is too small to be useful for much larger jobs.

Allclad stainless sticks to things like crazy, so it is a no-no if you want a pan to use for cooking eggs, pancakes, or the occasional hash-brown in.... but that same quality makes it absolutely wonderful for making sauces out of pan drippings.

This is a great fry pan. It *is* heavy, but it's an excellent pan, especially for 2-3 egg omlettes. It cleans up nicely, but it will get scratched, so be careful what tools you use with it. It came as part of a larger All-Clad stainless set, but I liked it so much, and it's very convenient size, I bought another one.

This small frypan is my main item. I cook for myself only (usually) and if anyone out there wants to try out the All-Clad line of cookware, this is the one to start with. Once you do, you, as I, will want to expand your collection of this superior product. You can get messy with it; you can make a mistake & have the heat too high, you can even leave it in the sink uncleaned for a day or two.....it will still clean up easily and look brand new. As stated in the ads, the handles really do stay cool; that's a nice change of pace! Not to mention the fact that the company is still in business; the lifetime guarantee really means something! Did I forget to say that this cookware is simply "beautiful?"

First of all, this is all-clad, so it is built like a bank vault. The construction and fit-and-finish is what you would expect from these cookware nuts, and what would you expect for the price? Worth discussing is the quality of the non-stick finish and the usefulness of this particular size. I have been using this pan for about 2 years now. The non-stick is still like new, though you must remember to always use wooden or plastic and also use a softer scrubber designed specifically for cleaning teflon. The size of the pan is probably best for sauteeing small items to put into a larger dish, however it is also large enough to scramble 4-5 eggs or even make medium sized pancakes. As a bachelor in every sense of the word (except that I'm a bachelor that is into frou-frou stuff like cookware), it was the pan I used most. However you aren't going to be able to fit, say, a large fish filet in here, or even two pieces of bread at once (to make gourmet grilled-cheese sandwiches, duh).

Still, not for the budget-conscious. Is it worth it? If you are a starving chef check out the Cuisinart Everyday Stainless line and hope it's on sale.

Ive had a nonstick 8" pan for about 22 years it still works great way longer than anything I've bought before or after.
2 secrets you should know, don't use excessive heat, and dont wash in the dish washer.
And of course one you know already no metal utensils.

I investigated all the mixing bowls at local stores and on-line, and the All Clad ones are the best. 1.) Many other bowls roll the top lip over to increase strength. Unfortunately (as with my old bowls), water and other grime collects or dribbles in the rolled lip. All Clad bolws have an edge that is flat and doesn't do this. They use thicker material for strength. 2.) The All Clad bowls have a handle attached. This is so much better for beating, whisking, etc., since you get a good grip on the bowl. 3.) The All Clad bowls are highly polished which makes them easier to clean, and you could even serve in them since they look nice. 4.) The All Clad bowls have a nice shape. Others are too shallow so stuff slops out when mixing or are too conical not allowing you to mix. These bowls are nicely shaped like a half-circle.

So why only only 4 stars? Look at the price. For the price of one All Clad bowl, you can buy a whole set (or two) of other brands. I plan on giving these to my grandchildren.

The 7Qt is a monster--large enough for tossing a salad. Finally, it doesn't look like they do, but they do stack/nest just like other bowls despite the handles.

These are the best mixing bowls I have ever used! I have 4 sizes (7, 5, 3 and 1.5 quart) and I use at least one or two every day. They have a nice handle so you can get a good grip on it. The polished stainless steel is so beautiful you could definitely use them to serve as well. I use the 7 quart for making several pounds of meatballs at a time. It is definitely one of my favorites. Also, the clean up couldn't be any easier and they all nest together for easy storage. I can't imagine using any others!

The base is a good size and there is no danger that anything could tip over, that is unless you tip it over! Top quality and excellent design! Highly recommended!

I love all my All Clad pots and pans, however, when I bought these from Amazon.com, I was very unhappy with their function. Poorly designed. Hard to pick up items. Very nice to look at, but cheaper ones are better. Save your money.

I like these tongs, but they were pricey. About 5 times the price of the local cheap store stuff. I know, I know, I'll never have to buy another one...but honestly how often do you wear out something like this. I love the heft and the finish, high quality all around, I don't like the locking mechanism, it's always locked when I don't want it to be. Great for worrying the cat though. All in all, I'm happy with them, just think this item is a tad overpriced.

This is the perfect tool for moving and turning over items (such as meats) because you get better grip and leverage than you would using a spatula. I also use it for manipulating items in large bowls when I'm marinating, coating, etc. The "locking" feature helps save space when storing in my drawer. The only drawback I've found with the relatively "flat" ends of this tong is that with some items, especially slippery things like raw chicken thighs, it's hard to get a good grip. So I wish they would also come out with a version which has more rounded ends for better grip capability.
