I have had this set since Christmas and LOVE IT! I gave away all my nonstick stuff and I had ordered this set from Amazon on a Black Friday special but as of the week before Christmas Amazon hadn't shipped it and I couldn't get them to tell me the status of the order.

I found the set on Williams Sonoma and ordered it right away. I paid less than Amazon's Black Friday deal. I have been using this set for 6 months and the quality is amazing. It cleans very easily. You do need to let the pan get hot before you add the food. I have burned several things and these pans cleaned up SUPER easy!

I don't understand all the conversation about pans showing wear. Who cares? If anyone came into my kitchen and started inspecting my pots and pans I would tell them to get out of my house. I have used the large frying pan countless times, sometimes mulitple times in a day and thrown it in the dishwasher and it's still shiny and looks new. There are a few scratches and spots by now but I want to USE my pots and pans. I do not expect them to look like I just took them out of the box. I have been cooking completely from scratch in all my food so sometimes I need to throw a pan in the oven to finish cooking or keep warm while I finish dinner and all these pots and pans work like champs.

Most recipes I deglaze pans so there really isn't much hassle in the clean up because nothing sticks to these pans.

I would more than 100% recommend these pots and pans to anyone. The even heat and searing is amazing. Thank you Williams Sonoma for shipping to my remote area of Hawaii and having great sales. Thank you All Clad for my stunning kitchen pots and pans!

I just want to say that the staff at WS were quite pleasant to work with. All Clad is the problem.

The rim of the pots have visible fluting. Not a functional issue, but I’m not about to make excuses for them at this price level. Stainless pots that cost half as much such as MadeIn don’t have this problem - if they wanted to they would polish it to a smooth edge - the lip is the thickest part of the pot anyway. All Clad used to mark things as factory seconds for the smallest blemishes. Now, we get half finished products.

The other thing is how easily it pits. A small circle of pitting has developed after one use of soft boiling eggs, in a spot where the protein stuck to the pan. Indicates to me inferior quality of the stainless steel.

A common trope is for manufacturers to cover their bases and say not to throw salt in before the water comes to a boil. Well I’ve been doing that with numerous cheaper stainless pots and pans for years and nothing a pit to speak of. This pot started before it even seen a grain of salt.

In summary, not only do I not recommend this set, I would actively turn anyone away from purchasing anything All Clad. If I could redo, I certainly would not purchase All Clad again.

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because the 2-qt sauce pan had to be replaced; currently awaiting the replacement piece. The pieces are a bit heavier than I expected; I suppose the 3-ply would've been lighter. Nevertheless, they're still a little lighter than the set they replaced. Still getting used to cooking at lower level heat, given the beautiful heat conductibility. Would have preferred more sauce pans instead of the larger stock pots included in the set. The 3-quart sauce pan I purchased separately also had a "chip" in the lid (like the 2-quart sauce pan lid I returned), and so that lid was returned for replacement as well. Although I purchased at a discounted price around the holidays, I still expected the superior quality one would expect from All-Clad. Love the set and would purchase again, as well as additional items to compliment the set. The return process wasn't too taxing.

I was so excited to see this set on sale that I immediately ordered it for in-store pickup. As soon as I received the arrival notification from my local Macy's, I rushed to the store. A helpful associate directed me to the pickup area. I didn't have to wait long. The associate who brought the set out offered to cut the box open to let me inspect the set, so I took a quick look. Then he told me how to get to the pickup area and once I was in the right spot, he wheeled the box to my car and loaded it up. When I got home, I took every piece out and inspected them one by one. Everything looked beautiful. I can't wait to use my new cookware! I am delighted with this purchase and so appreciative of Macy's and their excellent employees. Everything went so smoothly that I'm already planning my next purchase.
