I suppose it's not so much the pots as my pickiness. I get the same results
from my trusty almost 30 year-old copper-clad RevereWare. (And I just found
a site that has the same sort of 10-piece "starter set" of copper-clad
Revere for $119 as opposed to $600 for an All-Clad set.
Be careful if you're expecting tight fitting lids, Jill. I gave my
rather large set of RevereWare to my son's first independant kitchen a
few years back. The over 20 pieces were originally bought for my
grandmother more than 55 years ago. The new 8-piece set of RW I bought
to replace what I gave son is much, much lighter and seems to have lids
that are out-of-round so that most, to all steam escapes while cooking.
A few others I have talked to have the same complaint about RevereWare
that was not purchased more than a dozen or more years ago. I do use
the slinky set I bought, and it definately is worth what I paid for it,
but beware of the no-lids-fit-right problem.
