User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Excellent quality
I can’t recommend All Clad pans enough. They are fantastic. Excellent quality and a joy to use.
3 Stars Cooks great but spend all your free time scrubbing the exterior to keep nice looking
I’ve had All Clad LTD pans for a number of years now. I usually cook several times a day almost everyday & although these pans cook beautifully and the interior looks beautiful & cleans up easily, the anodized exterior looks terrible now. I wouldn’t mind so much but I have them hanging on decorative pot rack. For that reason I want to replace them with the less expensive version in stainless steel but the financial loss is killing me. I don’t have room in my small kitchen to put them away. We’ve had a stainless steel All-Clad sauce pan for a few years which still looks great and isn’t embarrassing hanging from our rack. If you don’t mind so much what your pots look like then these would probably be a great choice. If anyone knows any great secrets to keeping these looking great, please post them in the discussion area. I’ve contacted All-Clad several times and do exactly as they say without achieving any desired results.
