What a joy cooking is now that I have switched from thin aluminum  to the quality of All-Clad cookware! Following a complete remodeling of our home which now incorporates a ‘gourmet kitchen’ the old stuff just didn’t look right. I chose All-Clad because of the heavy stainless steel construction, even heating, and the “Made in USA” label.  I have two of the 1.5 qt. and one 3 qt. sauce pans, the double boiler insert for the 3 qt. pan, plus a 10" skillet w/cover and a 12" skillet with cover. Being able to metal utensils makes cooking a breeze.
