I bought some All Clad ware some time back with high hopes. I do love
their pots. They are excellent with easy clean up. They are
especially good at reducing due the lack of hot spots.

However, I do not like their frying pans. It is not possible to brown
meat or sear scallops properly. If you use the correct temperature
then clean up is very difficult. If you read their own instructions
they tell you not to overheat the pans.

I do recommend their pots.
