Cooking Reviews

We understand that All-Clad was originally manufactured to meet the rigorous demands of professional chefs. While I'm far from a professional in the kitchen, I can certainly appreciate the high quality of this bakeware.

We've found this loaf pan to be perfect for not only breads and cakes but also our favorite meat loaf. Especially impressive is the way a rich nut filled chocolate cake can be easily removed from this pan. In the past, I had to serve the cake in the baking pan because it always crumbled when I tried to remove it. Not so with All-Clad! Of course, loaves of white bread seem to simply slip out.

The gold color is very attractive and cleaning is a breeze. When All-Clad says non-stick they really mean it. Metal utensils aren't a no-no as they are with some other high end baking or cooking pans.

Someday, we hope all of our pans will be All-Clad!

I own these & use them frequently. Before baking, I prepare the pans by oiling them very lightly; breads are easy to unmold. I love being able to use metal utensils with the stick-resistant surface. Clean-up is a breeze. I use a nylon brush, then follow up with a sponge. I expect these pans to last a lifetime.

FYI: Cooks Illustrated used 8Qt Stockpot for the comparison, not this one (eventhough the comparison is for Dutch Oven)

I bought this after reading a comparison of dutch ovens in "Cook's Illustrated." This one, along with I think LeCrueset, ranked highest (and this one was lighter-weight). I have not been disappointed. I use it for soups, stews, pot roast, etc. It conducts heat beautifully and even cleans up well. It's just a great tool.

My son has become the family bread baker so for a Christmas gift I gave him this pan. He is so pleased with it, he would like another one. I am ordering it today so that yummy home made bread keeps appearing on my kitchen table! Actually, I have owned many All Clad cook and bake ware items for several years and highly recommend everything by this maker.

I can find nothing to take to task on the All-Clad tools. I have nearly all the tools they make and I like them all. They are easy to clean, no nooks for stuff to get stuck. They fit well in the hand and have a substantial, but not heavy, feel to them. Their shape is very good for the task at hand. The sole negative is their price but when balanced against the good, including the fact that they should last longer than the cook, they are a bargain at the price.

This is a great kit to go along with any All-Clad cookware collection that you might have going already. Though it comes with a very nice looking stainless steel cup, I prefer to use the hanging rack (also available on Amazon if you search for "all-clad hanging rack"). Plus its not hard to find an alternate use for the cup for something else.

My opinion is going to be somewhat biased because I love everything All-Clad. Everything they make seems to have some kind of heft and beauty that I just cant resist. There aren't many things in the kitchen that you can use and abuse with the kind of ferocious angst as with an All-Clad Product.

This tool kit is quality at a great price.

After watching my mother use her All-Clad tool set over the last two years, and seeing how well it has held up, I decided to go ahead and purchase this item. I have not been disappointed, the quality is amazing. The tools have a very solid feel to them, yet they are balanced and not too heavy. They clean SO easily, and are even dishwasher safe. We are throwing away all of our old tools and replacing them with All-Clad - it's amazing! Amazon's price can't be beat.... I know for a fact that my Mom paid full retail through a very well known catalog (ending in Sonoma). Amazon's price was half of that. If you are contemplating this set, DO IT! You won't regret it.
