I was looking for a life time set of cookware. All reviews and recommendations led me to All-Clad. The price was more than I wanted to pay but thought I would try a skillet and see This cookware is as great as the world says!! I received the skillet yesterday and made the best fried potatoes and onions tonight. They browned crispy and did not stick to the pan. I also cooked bacon, eggs and gravy in this amazing 12 in skillet with perfect results. I am back on the website now buying the set.
