Very disappointed with this set. My set started staining and discolouring after one hand wash. Has this weird bronzing that makes it seem like it’s bleeding metals or something.

I messaged All Clad and they rejected any repairs as it’s “normal wear and tear”. My mother in law has an older set (over 10 years old) which is still shining so it seems like the quality has fallen through the roof.

For a $500+ set this is vastly over priced.

I tried to do the right thing and order directly from All-Clad instead of the big ecommerce site that starts with an A. It backfired. The pans looked nice, but when I placed them gently on my brand-new induction cooktop to test them, they buzzed loudly. I immediately put them back in the box and returned them. All-Clad charged me a 30% restocking fee on this expensive set, saying that they had been used (including the lids, which I never removed from the package), but were unwilling to show me any photo evidence to indicate that. I'm now out more than $150 and won't be shopping here again.

I used the 8 qt stockpot for basic chicken chili. It cooked up beautifully. However, clean-up was a different story. The pot looked terrible even after hand washing and cleaning with baking soda. I then boiled vinegar and water which took care of the swirling but not all of stains; Bon Ami did the trick for that. After close to an hour working with this pot, between the Dawn, baking soda, vinegar/water and Bon Ami, there is still a spot that appears to be a pit or scratch of some sort. Again, this is after ONE USE. I am so disappointed with this All-Clad. My other All-Clad from years past has even gone through the dishwasher and still looks brand new, and yes, I have hard water. Maybe All-Clad has changed their manufacturing process or from where they source their materials, but this is absolutely not the All-Clad I am used to.

I have an electric stovetop which I hate. With a prior set of pots, the heating was uneven, would ALWAYS burn where the coils met under the stovetop, and were always hard to clean because of that kind of uneven burning.

This set heats evenly. It’s beautiful. Even just water boiling in these things is gorgeous enough to watch. Phenomenal set.
