I'll start off with the positives:

The pans cook more evenly than my Calphalon pans. Not much more evenly but a little bit. That does pay off over time because I can get a more even browning at the edges of the pan.

The set looks visually very appealing from a distance. I also was willing to pay extra to get a set that was not only made in the USA but used USA sourced metal.


Those are the positives but the negatives really add up:

First off the edges of the pans look "semi finished" where the cooking surface meets the lip. It looks like shoddy workmanship even though, so far, it doesn't seem to effect performance.

When I cleaned the pans and then rubbed the cooking surface down with olive oil I got a black residue on the paper towel. I got the same thing for each and every pot/pan. The only advice that All-clad can give me is to box them up and ship then back for inspection (at my own expense). Fortunately after a few more cleanings the residue is gone but I'm left wondering what it was (web searches proved fruitless).

The handles are poorly designed and transmit heat from the pot/pan far too easily. In this respect this set is very much inferior to my Calpahlon set.

The lids are VERY thin and do a poor job at retaining heat inside the cooking area.


In retrospect I'd love to pack up the whole thing and send it back. I'm particularly concerned about what the black residue was that was contaminating the cooking surface (even though it appears to be gone). I paid extra because I wanted to get a product made here that I can trust. I feel like I could have saved 400 with the Emeril set and gotten the same level of quality (maybe better).
