Best Cookware – All-Clad Stainless 9 Piece Cookware Set

All great chefs know that other than talent and skills, the apparatuses you use in the kitchen are equally important in preparing a delicious spread. The All-Clad Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set is one of those gems that is known for its performance, durability and handsome looks.

Long Lasting Cookware Set

This set is a great starter set for budding cooks and if you take care of it well, it will last you for a lifetime of cooking. With this set, you will get a 10-inch fry pan, 3-quart covered sauté pan, 2-quart covered saucepan with lid, a 3-quart covered casserole pan and a 6-quart covered stockpot; everything that you will use every day.

The pieces in the All-Clad Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set are made up of an aluminum core sandwiched between a magnetic stainless steel exterior and a cooking surface made from 18/10 stainless steel. It is important to note this when you’re buying cookware: always look for an aluminum core for the best cooking results.

The great thing about the pieces in this set is that the aluminum core is not only place at the bottom of the pots and pans but also extends up to their sides. This will help you avoid uneven and undercooked food as the pots and pans will heat up evenly and quickly. You may need to learn how to control the amount of heat needed when you first start using this set. Low-medium heat is sufficient for the pieces on this set and this will definitely save you some cooking gas money. Additional to conventional stoves, you can also use the All-Clad Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set on induction cook tops because they have flat bottoms.

Now, if you’re used to non-stick pans, you’ll learn that stainless steel ones works differently. Other than the fast heat-up time, you will have food stick on the cooking surface of the stainless steel pans that you’re using. This is completely normal when cooking with stainless steel – your food will be browned like it was cooked like a Master Chef!

Well Thought Out Design

One has to love that the All-Clad Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set is ergonomically designed with A-class workmanship. The handles stay cool on the stove and are sturdily place with riveted stainless steel. They are also designed with a thumb indent to add comfort during cooking. The lids also fit perfectly on top of the pans.

If there are any defects found when you uncover the pieces from the box or during normal use, you can use the lifetime warranty to recover parts or even a whole piece of cookware. Of course, the warranty only covers any defective material and poor construction or workmanship under normal usage and care. It will not however, cover any damages caused by you flinging the cookwares towards your spouse in a heated argument.

Cleaning up this set is easy as you can just put everything into the dishwasher. Once you clean it up, hang it on your ceiling pot rack to show the off to your kitchen guests! They’re so beautifully crafted that it’s a shame to hide them in the cupboard.

The only thing that I don’t like about the All-Clad Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set is the hefty price as compared to other brands. If you’re looking for a great cookware set and don’t mind paying a little bit more, this is going to be a great investment!
