All-Clad Copper Core 14-Piece Set

Superb cookware
These are, I in my most humble opinion, the finest pots you can buy. They're solid, beautiful (if you're into pots) and well designed. If cooking is your passion, you can do no better. The internal copper core does an outstanding job of spreading the heat evenly and the interior and exterior stainless steel cleans up easily. The pots are even dishwasher safe although you may need to use copper polish to restore the bright finish of the exposed copper band if you do use the dishwasher.

Please note, the pots won't do the cooking for you so if you have no idea what you are doing in the kitchen, you can still burn dinner or turn out a lousy meal...but at least you will have done it evenly and in style! On the other hand, because they cook so well, they could make learning to cook or expanding your cooking horizons a joy.

A couple final notes. 1) The pots are heavy. All-Clad definitely did not skimp on the materials. Fortunately, for the heaviest pots, they have a...

All Clad makes USA mfg. proud
We have owned this set for about 4 years now and our set looks almost brand new and copper layer sure shines up purty. Firstly, if you buy All Clad get Barkeepers Friend(BF) the same day, you can thank me the first time you clean your cookware. BF makes cleanup a snap and is not too abrasive(note: you shouldn't use abrasives like ajax or scotchbrite pads on AllClad) keeps pots and pans looking new and more importantly keeps the inside cooking surface clean and smooth so that sticking is less of an issue, this point is critical for any low fat conscious chefs(I use a ton of fat when I cook so no problems for me :O). This isn't a review of BF so back to the cookware! Your second purchase if you don't have them already is Bamboo or wooden utensils, never use metal on your pans. You can get away with it if you are gentle but scratching the inside of the cookware will cause food to stick, especially if you are cooking with little fat. The pots and pans cook very evenly and are very...

Finest cookware anywhere at any price
We are modestly proficient home chefs, willing to try cooking anything in the kitchen and usually with success. We long ago realized that one of the most valuable assets to the home chef was good equipment and early in our marriage, perhaps now at least 30 or so years ago we purchased All-Clad Ltd cookware and have used it for everything we have ever cooked at home or even on our boat. It has never failed us, although we have occasionally failed it and burned a thing or two. Despite a blackened pot or pan, they have never failed to come clean and after all these years they are now being passed to our children with enthusiasm, looking almost as good as new with hardly a scratch. Never washed in the dishwasher they remain in pristine condition, beautifully black on the outside, clean, shiny without scratches on the inside.

Now the legend continues, since our newest upgrade in the kitchen is induction cooking (gas and electric have all been tried)and the Ltd is not up to this...
