All-Clad Cookware

I'm sad to see that Le Gourmet Chef went out of business.

I have several of their saucepans and I am very happy with them.

Another All-clad fan here. I used to live close to the PA factory and once annually went to their seconds sale - best thing ever! Thirty years later and I'm still using these pots! I like the ltd model (now discontinued) with an anodized exterior that sheds grime nicely. You can often pick up used all-clad on ebay at good prices. Old is as good as new imo, they never wear out.

why are these cookware so expensive?
do they made in china?
is there something similar for less than that price?

i need a big high quality pod for induction stove

They are expensive because they are made in the U.S., not in China. Very high quality cookware, by the way.

 

[SEEING-TO-BELIEVE]

the other two brands are made in china?

If you want to keep your existing non-induction cookware, there is another option. They call them "induction plate adapters". I purchased a set from Amazon after we bought our new stove. It allows me to use my existing pots/pans.

I bought a 12" all clad skillet for $25 at a garage sale. she threw in a free carbon steel wok. I still have both. what a great skillet. lots of real estate, great fond. easy to clean.

I don't use it often because it is just me and the wife, and I get by with a much smaller carbon steel pan.
