We are frequent home cooks and decided we need to upgrade our cookware. We had bought odd pieces of All-Clad at Home Goods over the years and decided to spring for the Copper Core 10-Piece Set. We even went so far as to go to a W-S outlet to purchase the copper core wok, as we like to stir fry vegetables a lot. All in all, this an amazing cook set. The quick and even heating makes for a great cooking experience. We highly recommend this set, especially if you are willing to make the investment in great cookware.
