I had been looking to buy a new set of the Stainless steel All-Clad copper core stainless steel cookware to add to collection cause I love , love, love my All-Clad electric frying pan and slow cooker. But was not sure if I wanted to be bothered by the cleaning the stainless steel cause I hate scrubbing pots and pans. Much to my surprise everything peels away very easily. I love the All-Clad product so much I went out yesterday and bought the All-Clad frying pans for my husband cause he likes his eggs in non stick. I buy this product as gifts for my friends and family.
