All-Clad Stainless Steel 9-Piece Cookware Set

Pros: quality, durability, professional results, beautiful, reliable
Cons: price

An All-Clad Stainless Steel Set is worth its weight in gold, and though you might consider it about as costly, it is well worth the investment. It is truly a "guilty pleasure" when considering the price you might pay in respect to the delights it...

Pros: Even heating, easy to clean, sturdy enough to last a lifetime.
Cons: None

Recent unemployment has left me acting far more "domestic" than is healthy. The reference to Stepford in my title is a nod to a 1970s movie about the mythical town of Stepford, Connecticut, where the husbands replaced their feminist wives with robots...

Pros: Easy to cook on, lovely to look at.
Cons: Expensive

All-Clad is the best cookware I have ever used!

My wife and I purchased our first All-Clad saucepan with a gift certificate we received when we were married. Ever since then, we couldn't wait for the day when we could replace our entire...

Pros: Top quality, dishwasher safe, scours easily, handles stay cool
Cons: Perhaps too heavy for those with special needs

It all started some 20 years ago. My dad bought his mother-in-law, my Nana, a big shiny fry pan. He bought the best the store had to offer and that was All-Clad. It was a smart buy then, and remains one today.

That big sucker of a fry pan...

Pros: Great heat conduction, looks CAN kill!
Cons: Not recommended for dishwasher use, fingerprints

Its like having 1000 mirrors in your kitchen...good if you are cute...bad if you are Godzilla

So, if you have read my other epinions, you know my loyalty to the best. All-Clad is no exception.

My first set, the MasterChef, was...

Pros: Easy to clean, stay looking new, much better non-sticking than non-sticks
Cons: Expensive

I love to cook fancy, gourmet dishes, but my pots and pans were always "fast food" quality. For years, I've been limping along with a hodge-podge collection of scratched up non-sticks and some ancient cast iron pans. I bought the 9 piece set a few...

Pros: Durable, lifetime guarantee, dishwasher safe, even heating, made in USA
Cons: Price

UPDATE: I am updating my review of All-Clad Stainless Steel Sauce Pans, originally written in 2001. It is now 2004 and my All-Clad Stainless Steel Sauce Pans look as good as new. None of them has developed any problems, not even a loose ...

Pros: Does the word PERFECT mean anything to you.
Cons: Mmmmmmmm,....thinking,...there not free,...that's it

I am a trained chef and I have owned 2 of my own restaurants and I have to tell you I have never cooked on anything that comes even close to the performance of All-Clad cookware. Don't get me wrong, I have owned lots of other cookware, but they all fell ...

Pros: Cooks great, don't stick, easy to clean, etc.
Cons: Boiling water, pricey.

This actually is a review and not a recipe, so don't get all crazy on me until you read it.

Today, class, we will use our Nine Piece All-Clad cooking set to make a very difficult Italian meal: pasta with tomato sauce and chicken. So...

Pros: perfect ergonomics and balance to its pieces. esthetically pleasing. unmatched performance.
Cons: can be an expensive addiction.

hello,

one of my favorite hobbies is cooking. i have enjoyed this since i was nine years old when i would come home at lunch time and prepare my own meals (latch-key kid, you know). i did that through high school and yep this went through...

Pros: sturdy, chic, and goes in the oven!
Cons: have to be careful never to fry on high

I woke up one morning with one thought ... I am 35 years old, a good cook, and it's high time I bought a REAL set of cookware. A full set, and, yes, if need be, an expensive set! Luckily, I could further justify my purchase with two facts: one, it was...

Pros: Can use any utensils, nice looking.
Cons: None

I recently traded in my Farberware (which I am going to update my Epinion on when I get done here) for the All-Clad Stainless Steel 9 piece set. I am thrilled.

Although the Farberware was easy to clean, I missed being able to use a whisk when...

Pros: even cooking, dishwasher safe, superior performance
Cons: heavier than others, pricey

As a newlywed, I was in the market for some GOOD cookware. I have gone through so many pots and pans over the years, none of which I cared for. Once with my old cookware, I was carrying a hot pot of boiling water over to the sink to drain it; and the...

Pros: Even cooking, easy clean-up
Cons: The handles do get hot so you need hot pads

Friday afternoon, I am on my way out to spend the afternoon with my daughter. Before I go, I need to heat up the chicken soup on the stove (I keep a pot of soup going most of the time during the colder months). I'll just get it boiling and then simmer it...

Pros: Cooking With Ease
Cons: Absolutely None

I purchased All-clad Pots & Pans to up-date to a more modern technology in cooking four years ago. I was mainly interested in even cooking temperature with no hot spots, style of the pans and ease to handle. I wanted something that I didn't have to...
