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.

The best cooking experience I have ever had in my life. I enjoy cooking with this set so much that I want to cook all the time. Specially since I learnt how to cook in them without food sticking to it, it's the most wonderful feeling. I highly recommend this product, and I am mad at myself for not buying them sooner and wasting all my money on the useless nonstick ones that went bad so quickly. We have been lied to, all our life about food sticking to stainless steel or burning, etc. It's total nonsense and a big lie. Thank you macy's for selling me such a beautiful set.

Brushed stainless steel is gorgeous. Food cooks faster so turn down the flame. When warming up the s/s pans place on lower heat. I was used to my nonstick so I blasted the heat on high. Wrong move! It discolored my pans, but using the caned recommended scrub made it beautiful again. So watch the videos on cleaning and using. I just wish Clad sold a rack for storage.

Purchased this 10 pc set 6 months ago. I love these pots/pans! I worked in Restaurants for 20 years prior, using this cookware was like coming home!
Fabulus set of cookware!! Before purchasing them I read all the reviews. Don't use high heat! Clean them properly and dry them immediately. You can't season stainless steel. Hope this helps
I wish they made a 1 qt sauce pot with a lid.
