I became an All Clad fan several years ago when a friend gifted me with a 10" SS frying pan and I've been building my set ever since. I was in the market for the 6 qt. pasta pot only to find out that it had been discontinued. Fortunately, I found one on the internet, and like all my All Clad cookware, it exceeded my expectations. I wish you guys would consult with me next time you decide to discontinue on a particular piece!
