The pans, I think will be great, as I like the All-Clad brand. What I didn't realize when I purchased them, they cannot be used on induction cooktops.  So, it defeated the purpose.  They are nice and I will be able to use them on my gas stove.  They are good quality and will last a long time.  The are definitely the lower end of All Clad but they are a great value for the price.
