Used nothing but All-Clad for 35 years. As I aged however and despite enjoying excellent health and strength I discovered that the All-Clad handle design(s) no longer suited my shifting ability to grasp them. The handles are ALL to skinny/narrow. I had a few Cuisinart pans from  France and realized with a combination of joy ( I cook ALOT) and relief that these French pans are now my every day/all the time cookware. I donated away all my All-Clad and wish now that earlier in my life  I had known about French Classic!
