All-Clad. It's expensive, sure. But you buy it once, and you have it for the rest of your life. It heats quickly and evenly, it's easy to clean, and you can't beat a lifetime guarantee. Throw away that crap you bought to melt Velveeta in college, and step into the world of the living.

I just received the ALL-CLAD LTD 8 piece cookware set a few days ago. I can't believe I own such a beautiful set of cookware. My neighbor owns a few pieces of the ALL-CLAD LTD cookware and loves them. I now know why!! I ordered the 8 piece cookware set because I was not interested in another stock pot. I have two and don't need another. Most cookware sets include the stockpot.

The first thing I cooked in the frying pan was 5lbs of bacon. What a messy build up I had on the bottom of the pan. I could not believe how easy the cleanup was. I literally placed the pan under hot water with a little soap and sponge. No elbow grease needed!! I was also amazed at how even the heat distribution was. No hot spots to be found and the handle stayed cool!! The frying pan is heavy so not for the faint of heart.

I cooked risotto the other night in the 3qt casserole pan and I don't think it has ever come out better. It was much fluffier than usual, even my husband noticed the difference. All because of the pan!!

The lid that comes with the 1qt saucepan also fits on the 2qt saucepan. I am finding the 1qt saucepan to be very useful when cooking for my 2 year old just the right size. I'm look for something to disappoint me but so far I just can't wait to cook my next meal!

I am a man of 63years, curcumstance has me on my own and learning to cook at this ripe old age. I completely emptied my cabinets in the kitchen and decided I needed new "tools". I have outfitted my kitchen based on the kind people who took the time to write an honest appraisel of the products they have purchased. If you are the kind of cook who turns the burner of the stove on high, plops the food in the pan, and scrapes it out with any thing handy, I suggest you eat out often. However if you have the desire to use and prepare your food with the best, buy this pan and you will never regret it. The fact that it is made in China does not affect the quality at all.. I only wish I could now find a woman as beautiful,functional,dependable and affordable as this pan. Meanwhile I have my all clad.
UPDATE: I FIND IT NECESSARY TO APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PAN ON MY INTIAL RECOMMENDATION. AFTER A MONTH OF USE THIS PAN HAS BECOME A PURE NUISCANCE. FOOD STICKS AND SURE YOU CAN GET IT CLEAN BY SOAKING OR USING BAR KEEPERS FRIEND AND A DOBIE PAD BUT WHY WORK THAT HARD WHEN THE ... SET OF FABERWARE PANS PUT THIS TO SHAME. YES IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BARGAIN ... BUT WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK IT'S NOT A VALUE AT ANY PRICE. NO I DO NOT COOK ON HIGH HEAT AND I HAND WASH EVERYTHING. I CANNOT NOT RECCOMEND YOU BUY THIS PAN UNLESS YOU JUST HAVE TO OWN AN ALL CLAD, I LEARNED MY LESSON DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.

The best thing I ever did was buy this pan. Because it was a cheap lesson to learn and I returned my larger set before opening the box. This is terrible cookware. I have this pan and the wok and tried cooking on it for nearly a year but am now so frustrated that I'm giving it up. I understand how to cook on stainless but still, who needs this aggravation of burning food and not being able to clean the pans!!!! You can not cook an egg on this pan, it's a kitchen disaster! Save your money, test with this pan first!

I thought this looked like a nice pan - so I thought I would give it a try. WOW - It cooks and cleans up like a dream. I ordered another one for myself - and one for my friend.
