Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse kicks it up another notch with this stainless-steel cookware collection. This 18/10 Stainless Steel cookware has a high performance aluminum and copper bonded base that ensures fast heat delivery. The handles are ergonomically designed for balance, control and comfort. For added conveniece, internal measurement marks are on all the sauce pans and stock pots. The sauce pans have straining lids and precision pouring spouts with flared rims for clean pouring. This 10 piece set includes 8" fry pan, 10" fry pan, 1.5 and 3 quart sauce pans with lids, 3 qt. saute pan with lid and 6 qt. tall stock pot with lid.
This was my first set of SS cook wear after years of cheap non-stick pots and pans from different manufacturers and I'm sorry I waited so long. The saucepan, as well as both fry pans, require far less heat to get the job done. The "brown bits" left after cooking fish, chicken or steak allow me to make a flavorful sauce with these dishes I could never do with non-stick. Clean-up is easy and the pans look brand new after a wash and some Bar Keepers Friend. The bottoms of the pans heat evenly and I haven't had any "hot spots" on the cooking surface that would cause problems with my old set. I've had to experiment a little with the correct heats to keep fish from sticking. Once I learned where I needed to be, sticking no longer was an issue. The saucepan has a pouring lip and the glass lid has holes in the rim to allow for straining of pasta after cooking which eliminates the need to use (and dirty) a strainer. I've gone from stove top to oven with fish and steak and had terrific results. I've only had one instance where I forgot to use an oven mitt for the handle - that was enough to help me remember next time. Another nice little feature is liquid measurements etched into the inside wall of the saucepans so if your recipe requires a certain amount of liquid, you can just measure with the pot instead of dirtying a measuring cup. Overall, I have found nothing to complain about and find myself cooking more than ever just to use the set. I wish I had bought them…

With its sculpturesque form and patented bonded construction, the All Clad Non-Stick French Skillet blurs the line between art and science. A precisely-contoured heel and slightly deeper sidewall facilitate turning and flipping. Bonded layers of 18/10 stainless steel and aluminum provide ideal balance, handling weight, and supremely even heat diffusion. The non-stick surface is not merely a coating, but a revolutionary, reinforced system. All Clad's nonstick makes it easier to prepare today's healthy, light recipes with very little oil or fat. For sauteing, frying, and general versatility, the All Clad Stainless Non-Stick French Skillet is the true culinary artist's latest inspiration. Made in the U.S.A.
Some other reviews have stated a dissatisfaction with this skillet due to it's "convex" bottom. Actually all of the All Clad pans have a Concave bottom. They are determined concave by looking at the pans upside down. The reason for the uneven surface is that when the aluminum core heats up to a certain level it actually warps straight. If the allowance of this concave was not there, the pan would wobble around on your stovetop as then it would be truly convex. Most high quality pans have this feature, and it is built in by design. Also, some people dislike the sticking quality that some food presents on this brand of cookware, but this is also a desired effect. I'm not a chef, but have learned that this caliber of cookware takes a certain level of cooking skill and experience to utilize it properly. Sometimes things can be interpreted as negative if you are using the wrong tools for your skillset. There is a reason that all of the worlds top chefs use this brand exclusively, and it is not endorsements. Lots of great brands out there, and All Clad never dissapoints.

Calphalon Triply Stainless Steel 13-piece Set Includes: 8-Inch, 10-Inch and 12-Inch Omelette pans, 1-1/2 and 2-1/2-quart Covered Sauce Pans, 3-quart Covered Saute Pan, 3-quart Covered Chefs Pan and 6-quart Covered Stock Pot. Classically styled with a polished, stainless steel exterior and a satin finished interior, Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless Steel cookware is designed with three layers to ensure even, consistent heating. A heavy-gauge, aluminum core surrounded by two layers of stainless steel provides excellent heat conduction for browning and enhanced control of the cooking process.
Bought this set locally and returned it. The interior finish is "matte" and everything sticks unless you use a ton of oil/butter to cook with. If they had taken a little extra care in the finish of the inside of the pans then this would be a fairly well-built set. The weight is acceptable I wouldn't call it a heavy-duty set, but more like a medium weight set). The interior finish is simply inferior to even some of the cheaper sets that take the time to mirror-finish the insides. I would not buy, or recommend this set. I own some All-Clad, Cuisinart, Bonjour (by far the best), and The Main Ingredient stainless. The Calphalon in my opinion is inferior and should not even be in the same class.

Essential for any professional or home chef, this distinctly-styled 6 piece kitchen utensil set by All-Clad will become a favorite in the kitchen. The set is made of high quality 18/10 stainless steel, with a polished finish, and the utensils have convenient hanging eyelets for storage on a hook or peg. The handles are designed to provide a firm, secure grip and prevent fatigue with a sculpted thumb groove, and the storage caddy keeps all the utensils in one, easy to locate spot. The set consists of a slotted spoon, solid spoon, fork, turner spatula, ladle, and storage caddy.Producing some of the finest cookware in the nation, All-Clad has been featured in many high class and gourmet restaurants for its superior performance and aesthetically designed pieces crafted from American artists using the finest metals. A firm believer in quality over convenience, All-Clad's metals are formulated and bonded with cooking performance in mind, and are combined with stunning designs to provide you…
All Clad made in China utensils are very sturdy, heavy, high quality, and excellent. This set is the perfect match for All Clad stainless cookware, since there is no fear of damaging the pans. If your cookware is mostly non-stick or can be damaged, then these tools are useless.
The ladle is far larger than I expected. It follows the standard All Clad handle setup, so no hook on the end to hang off the edge of a stock pot.
Spatula is a good size and works quite well.
The fork, spoon, and slotted spoon are what you would expect.
The lack of the most useful took - All Clad tongs is obviously there to force folks to shell out more cash. I use the tongs for so many cooking chores - flipping, mixing stir fry, pulling noodles, etc. I use the fork and spoons a few times a year, so the most useful items in the set for me are the spatula, ladle, and utensil holder.

Polished 18/10 Stainless Steel
Okay, I admit I have an All-Clad fetish after spending a small fortune on my Copper Core set, and a stainless non-stick skillet. So naturally I had to have this steamer insert as well. It looks just beautiful with the All-Clad pots, pretty enough to serve from at the table with company, and it performs MARVELOUSLY! Not a bit of steam escapes from either the connection at the pan, or from the steamer's lid. The food steams fast and furious and wonderfully--much better than with the old collapsible type steamer I used with my former Calphalon.
I also like that the moment the food is done, I can toss directly into the steamer a little butter or oil and some salt, and mix it around with the veggies quickly and easily--which was NOT the case with the collapsible type steamers that had to be removed from the pan before anything could be done to them (usually burning at least one finger or thumb!)
It fits my Copper Core 1.5 quart and 2 quart saucepans the best. It does fit the larger 4 quart saucepan as well, though the connection between the pot and steamer is not perfect--almost, but it does not seat perfectly as with the smaller saucepans, which if fine as they are all you need even even when steaming a large batch of veggies or clams in this steamer.
Ahhh, I've reached steamer nirvana, at last...!
Highly recommend this piece of All-Clad for a splurge--you're worth it!

Measuring cup set features the All-Clad logo on each measuring cup and easy to read size markings on the handle.
I love my measuring cups. They are heavy, sturdy, attractive, well made, and will probably outlast most everything else in my kitchen. I love to cook, and these really make me feel like a pro! You can't beat the quality and the price.

Purchasing these and other all clad pans has been one of the best kitchen purchases we have ever made. It is nice having the peace of mind that these are and always will be safe to use unlike my former Teflon set. Food actually tastes better. Just make sure you use slightly lower heat and bring the pan to desired cooking temperature before adding oils or food to pans. Great great choice you won't regret getting these.

This quintessential cookware collection is the result of more than four decades of all-clad ingenuity and artisanship. Copper-Core combines the ideal benefits of copper heat conduction with the cleaning ease of stainless steel. Because this formula is a carefully-guarded all-clad innovation, no other cookware in the world can match the performance standards of its unique bonded design. Copper-Core is the premier all-clad cookware collection, and is the choice of many of the world's elite chefs and discriminating cooks. Pasta dinner made even more simply. A 7-quart stockpot and colander insert let you lift out cooked pasta, or other ingredients, and leave behind the water/broth. Other uses include steaming or blanching vegetables and shellfish. Bonded cookware handcrafted in the USA; insert manufactured overseas.
This completes my All-Clad collection. I bought it last year. It has appreciated in value by almost 100 dollars since I bought it. It is a great pot.
