So far so good! I've been a longtime fan of All-Clad. (Prior to that I used my mom's antique Farberware). So, I don't have a lot to compare it to. Does what it is supposed to do. I definitely don't ever burn anything in it... And it's made in the USA out of steel (though, it seems, not all of the All-Clad is--made in the USA, that is.) I will very likely continue to buy what they don't make in China.
