All-Clad is one of the best, no doubt. But, watch this review before you buy All-Clad and you may save yourself a ton of money! In this video I perform a detailed review of copper core stainless steel sauté pans from both Costco (Kirkland) and All-Clad and I really put these pans to the test.

I bought my All Clad set back in 1991. I bought a set, so it was pricey but less expensive than buying piece by piece. I'm still using them 30 yrs late. They're not as pretty any more, but I know that I can trust them to get the job done. Best investment I've ever made.

These knifes are razor blade sharp and are a joy to use. Are they worth the money, ABSOLUTELY. This is lifetime cookware and knifes that are a joy to use.

Thank you for this review. I recently purchased the All-clad D3 set for $700. Love the cookware. Boils water quickly and cooks evenly. About 15 years ago I purchased the Kirkland cookware set. Don’t remember how much I paid but it was under $200. I’ve used it mainly on gas cooktops. The Kirkland pans started making strange noises and water only boiled in the center of the pan. This is the reason I purchased the all-clad. I gave the Kirkland cookware to my sister-in-law. I really like the All-clad - it cooks evenly and boils water quickly. Yes, it is very expensive but I feel it’s worth it and will last the rest of my life. I chose All-clad because it is made in the USA and America’s Test Kitchen gave it the #1 rating.

I've had my All-Clad set for well over 20 years. This was before they called it D3. It was just "All-Clad". Pans are all still tip top condition. They clean up very easy. Just don't abuse your pans. If something gets burned on it's not a big issue. Let the pan soak, then use some Bar Keepers Friend to shine it up. Would I buy them again? Of course. Well worth the money in my book.

No doubt the All-Clad is excellent and superior to Costco in some ways... but the present Costco cookware is NOT the same as it was 15 years ago or even a couple of years ago. They've improved it tremendously. Again... the only negative of the Costco is the weight.... they are heavy... so move a little slower... be sure you have a good grip... lift with one hand and guide with the other... no issues.

I swapped all my Revereware pans to AllClad and it was the best investment. We are foodies and make all sorts of different foods. As for clean up? I’ve never had an issue with AllClad. I most often deglaze the pan if there are bits of food stuck to it, that instantly helps clean the pan and then I continue soaking it either for a few more hours or overnight if it’s really bad. But the most important thing to do is heat the pan first before adding the oil and food items especially when searing. The hotter the pan the less likely the food will stick.

Well, my first All-Clad pan was an 8-qt. (5-ply with copper) stock pot I found at TJ Maxx. It had a very minor imperfection but then was mis-priced at only $60 to boot! I practically ran to the checkout with it. The manager knew it was mis-priced but stuck with the posted price! I paid and hustled out of the store, feeling like I'd stolen it. Fast forward a couple of years and something happened. I was par-boiling a mess of spinach to freeze in portions. I fell asleep. When my husband came home a couple hours later, he found the pot boiled dry, the spinach was unrecognizable, enameled to the bottom of the pan, which was glowing bright red. The kitchen air was practically unbreathable from all the smoke. I freaked out, thinking I'd ruined the pan. Turned it off and pushed it off the burner with a wooden spoon--too hot to handle directly. Fast forward. I was sure it must have warped, delaminated, something. After all, I'd practically melted the pot. The inside stain eventually wore off by itself from use. The outside proved impervious. Now, 20 years later that pot is just fine. It never did warp in the slightest, and is still my favorite pot EVER! I've since bought the copper-clad sauté pan (with splatter shield) , the 10" skillet and the 2-qt pot. Today that pot with the lid is $485 at William & Sonoma! Is it worth it? We have a saying in my family. If something is simply beyond comparison, the best of the best, we call it an "absolute". All-Clad is an absolute.

I went to a restaurant supply store 22 years ago right after I got married. I bought a 'set' of pots and pans based on what I expected i would need. They weren't cheap, but NO WHERE NEAR the cost of the All Clad. 22 yrs later i still have all the originals minus the one 12 " non stick pan that i wore out the coating and replaced. Earlier this year i went back to get a skillet, and they still carried all the same pieces. Cost me i think $35 and it matches perfectly. When i got home i washed it out and hung it on the pot rack and it struck me that my 22 year old pots still looked damn near new. Sure, they may be heavier than an all-clad, not as pretty, but I'm after performance and durability, and these commercial pans work beautifully... two decades later!

I personally bought this set of stainless from Costco a few months back. I can vouch for everything you find in this video. The Costco product is a virtual steal at their price. I can verify they take longer to heat up, and also longer to cool down. And yes… they are HEAVY. Very difficult to maneuver without considerable arm and hand strength. The extra weight and heat retention capability will remind you of cooking with cast iron without the more superior non-stick capability. Over time I learned how to manage the extra weight, and mastered the cooking technique to avoid serious sticking. I can now cook eggs in my Costco stainless as efficiently as my wife can in her All-Clad non-stick stainless. Also… I left the large Costco skillet on the gas burner with a little water to clean it.. I forgot it for over an hour. It boiled completely dry. It cleaned right up…AND DID NOT WARP. Love my Costco stainless, especially the very large sauce pan/skillet!

Stainless is super simple to clean, use Barkeeper’s Friend, or vinegar, that’s all it takes. If you burn something as badly as you did for this test, you don’t have the right to complain about it being difficult to clean. Your test is Copper Core by AllClad, which is their top of the line, I suggest you consider the aluminum tri-ply. Consider the riveting, I’m not sure about Costco’s, but AllClad uses stainless steel which is harder than the aluminum rivets most manufacturers use. This is important to understand part of the cost. Stainless is more expensive than aluminum, but it is harder and stronger and requires a costly rivet press machine that is engineered specifically for the stainless rivets. Honestly, Costco’s cookware is a great cookware, but you know how these warehouse wholesale pricing s work, one day, Costco will stop selling it they don’t sell individual items. AllClad can be lurched by the set or individual items, and they are more likely to be available in five years. AllClad is heirloom quality and if I had kids, I would pass it Dow, just like my mamaw passed down her cast iron skillet to me. AllClad has a great track record, a long track record. And you can pretty,ugh buy it anywhere and there is no price gouging, prices are within penny’s between retailers. It’s harder to find the Costco cookware outside Costco. For me, I play it safe and simply go the the tried&true.

@@David-ei1fs Barkeeper's Friend is actually recommended by AllClad. It's the only thing I've used on my pans for 20+ years and they look brand new. The abrasives in the cleanser are super small and delicate, that is the reason they recommend it. I don't use it everyday as Dawn has been just fine for daily cleaning. If they start looking cloudy is when I use Barkeeper's. Twice yearly I take all my cookware and give them a good cleaning with Barkeeper's; in early November and mid-January, before and after the holiday cooking seasons. As for soaking AllClad - I wouldn't recommend it! The aluminum between the layers of stainless steel is exposed on the top edge of the pan. Soaking causes a chemical reaction that will pit out the aluminum. It's not a big deal, but it makes the pans look defective and it's very difficult to get food particles out of those tiny pits. The pitting of inner layer is why I usually don't put my pans in the dishwasher anyway. AllClad is perfectly fine in the dishwasher, it just won't get the natural sugar residues off the stainless. That is what causes that cloudy rainbow effect in the bottom of the pan. A little vinegar or lemon juice will take that rainbow effect out. That is often what causes the pans to stick.

All Clad is truly a purchase for life. I haven't had mine for very long, but I know people who have had theirs for 20+ years. I decided to spend the money and they are truly fantastic. I'm not sure what process you are using for cleaning that took 15 minutes, but I have never had that issue. I do a lot of searing, and I like using the fond. After searing you simply add hot water to the pan on the stove, which immediately removes fond. Simply use the fond liquid for sauce or discard it in the sink. Then you simply rinse the pan under hot water and use a sponge then dry. I rarely have to use any cleaner at all.

I got the all-clad 6-qt all-in-one pan last summer and love it. I’ve burned it a couple times and it recovered just fine with the proper cleaning. We have a temperamental burner on our ceramic stove top that’s partly to blame, and my distractibility. Love it for stovetop fried meals and use it about 3-5 times a week. Well worth the investment. Love the high sides and solid performance. I still use my Amway stainless steel cookware we received as a wedding gift and they’ve been great. However, I needed a 6-quart size to cook bigger portions as my Amway set only had a 3-quart sauté, which works great but too small for some jobs. That’s where my 6-quart all-clad pan comes in and fills the bill gloriously. Very happy with it.

I always let my cookware have a good, long soak to soften any burned on gunk. After I finish cooking, I empty the pan and give it a quick wipe out with a paper towel. Then I add enough water to come up over the food line and let it soak for at least an hour (or even overnight). When I'm ready to wash it in hot sudsy water, I pour off the standing water and use a stiff plastic board scraper to scrape up the softened gunk off the bottom of the pan. Then I can wash it easily. If it is stainless steel, a little Bar Keepers Friend will shine it up like new. I realize this is not a practical regimen for a restaurant setting, but for a home cook, it works like a charm.

When we built our house 4 years ago, my husband insisted we install an induction stove top which meant my previous pans weren’t compatible. We bought a set of cuisinart non stick pans and always hand wash and dry after the first year of use, there were scratches on the edges. After some research and speaking to several sales people, we settled on All Clad. We ended up buying at 10 piece set at Macy’s that originally on sale for around $600 but after coupons and some other rebate, it was roughly $420. They’ve been awesome. Although I’ve never intentionally burned anything in hem, I have found that using Dawn Powerwash has made it a lot easier to clean and leaves them sparkling.

I have a lot of Al-Clad copper core pots and pans. Love them. I also use Griswold cast iron stew pots and fry pans also, I've had them for years, but as of late I've been using my Al-Clad. To keep the stainless clean I've use Bar Keepers friend. Both in powered form and liquid form. Works well. But lately I've been using the new product DAWN came out with . It is called " DAWN ultra PLATINUM POWERWASH dish spray" I am amazed how well it removes the baked on greese inside and out on my Al-Clad pots and pans. They look NEW !! Give it a try...

Try also the Dawn Power Dissolver. It's like the Powerwash on Steroids. Several years ago, Dawn sold it commercially, but it disappeared quickly from stores but about 5 ago I found it again but only available by the case (at Amazon, but I've seen it a few other places.) My last case (of 6) lasted 4 years, but I accidentally discovered it cleans bathroom tile and the oven, so not sure how long the current case will last. BTW, I rarely have to use Bar Keepers friend anymore.

Fortunately for people like me that cannot justify a $400 pan, there is Craigslist and Ebay. Lots of folks just sell All-Clad cheap because the can't or won't learn how to clean them or use them. I got all three of my pans (11" saute with lid, 12" skillet with lid, 10" skillet) used for under $200. Total. Just hunt them down. Oh, and some rich lady decided to "redecorate" her kitchen. Posted two All-Clad 2qt kettles for $20ea online. It was late so I called her the next day. Got both for $30 total. On Amazon they are $99/ea. They look new.

Nearing retirement, I have all the all-clad I've ever bought over the last 40+ years and use it all the time. They replaced the one pan that warped no questions asked. I've thrown away a lot of other stuff, some of which I've replaced with all-clad. I also have some of the other pro labels and have never regretted spending the extra, because I still have it. Look at the Americas Test Kitchen reviews and you'll see why they keep choosing All-clad and some of the other pro brands. Get what you can afford when you have to have it but don't fool yourself about what you are getting. You WILL throw away budget stuff eventually and buy it over again. As soon as you can, get the good stuff, and when you get to my age, you'll still be using it. And by the way, I have purchased most of my all-clad and other pro brands from factory second sales. These are just minor blemishes that don't affect cooking quality. I've saved hundreds if not thousands.

I don't buy any pans in sets. For one thing, the best materials for a skillet is not the same as the best material for a saucepan or stockpot. I buy them as I need them, with a preference for buying second hand. After all, I can see how they stand up to wear before I buy them. When you buy a set, you get what someone thinks you want, not what you actually need.

Nice review. I have an All-Clad saute pan and skillet, I've had the saute pan for decades, use it every day. They cook great and clean easily. Great products but... I HATE the handles! They dig into your hands and are so narrow, you have to be really careful not to let a full pan twist and spill. The best handle I ever had was a hefty tubular sheet stainless steel one on an Analon, which is sadly long gone. I wish All-Clad would improve the handles.

I absolutely love my D5 brushed stainless All-Clad set. I accidentally burnt some butter solids at the bottom of the stock pot while making ghee. It was really badly burnt and crusted! I put a cup of white vinegar and about 2 cups of water in the pan and heated it to a simmer... It came out perfectly clean with a light scouring scrub sponge! No extra abrasive needed! I do use Barkeepers Friend on my set occasionally to keep things shiny because we have very hard water that leaves mineral deposits. I've owned Costo Kirkland pans as well as a few other off brands and nothing has ever compared to my All-Clad. They're absolutely worth the investment.

All-Clad D7 ( n.l.a. ) was the only series that came close to the even heat and warp resistance in a skillet on induction that you get with Demeyere Proline 7 ply skillet which also beats today's A-C hands down in speed and efficiency. As of this year All-Clad no longer guarantees the use of U.S. steel only that it is assembled here. Most who rave about A-C are buying D3 not the very expensive A-C Copper Core shown here. D3 skillet warps very quickly on induction especially on portables and older induction. The core is exposed on All-Clad edge, not sealed. This leads to corrosion when in contact with harsh dishwasher detergents. For pots D3 is fine but I'd avoid the fry pans especially for the $100 price tag. The A-C copper core saute as shown is a decent performer but as others say only a good value purchased second quality. Demeyere videos are highly educational on construction so I suggest pp watch first before buying. Useful even if you buy a different brand altogether. Upgrading to something with excellent induction performance now is wise due to rising energy costs and the fact that you may later switch to induction.

Great comparison. Thanks. I love Barkeepers Friend. It is without question the very best cleaner for sinks, toilets, removing hard water deposits on glass and tile. Be careful with it because it is abrasive and WILL scratch glass and softer surfaces. Also be careful (especially boiling it in water) because it contains mild phosphoric acid. That's largely why it works so well.

I just trashed 10 pieces of All-Clad that were around 10 years old because every piece had developed dangerously sharp edges where the the inner and outer layers were bonded. By sharp I mean that I could peel a carrot on the sharp edges. All-Clad claimed they must have been damaged by putting them in the dishwasher. Professional chefs are required by health regulations to use dishwashers rather than wash by hand as All-Clad said was required for their products. All-Clad promised three times to provide shipping labels to return a couple of pieces for evaluation. I am still waiting! I loved the All-Clad cookware but am not willing to be frequently cut by the sharp edges. I trashed it because I did not want customers of Goodwill to be hurt if they bought it. I understand there is a class action lawsuit about the problem.

Very informative review. I only have one All Clad pot that is a 3 ply. The handle gets very hot. I found I would reach for my cheap Revereware pots over the All Clad. The Revereware handles wore out after 30 years. I could not afford to buy multiple All Clad pots. I happened upon a set of 3 ply Tramontina pots in Costco last spring for $199 and decided to give them a try after looking up numerous reviews. The reviews were mostly positive. They look very similar to the All Clad and the Costco set (which I did not see at the time of my purchase), although the handles stay cool enough to touch. So far, I am very pleased with the Tramontina set made in Brazil. By chance, I discovered my pressure cooker, that I love, is the same brand. Maybe one day, I will be able to afford to upgrade to the All Clad set, but for now, I won’t switch to buy the Costco or All Clad set just yet as an upgrade.

I looked at the Kirkland set at Costco a few months ago. The quality (fit and finish) was noticeably worse than my All Clad pieces. They have to use cheap labor and cut corners to achieve that $200 price point. I'd also argue that huge sets like that are a waste of money. Most people really only need an 8", 10", and/or 12" skillet, maybe a 3-4 qt sauce pot, and a 6-8 qt stock pot. That covers most everything. Then add in some cast iron and/or carbon steel skillets and you're set.

Thanks for the excellent and very fair comparison video showcasing the performance and cost of an All-Clad pan versus Kirkland. Thanks also for supporting the lively debate (500+ Comments!) on "Buy American" not "Made in China". So not to keep the debate going too much longer and from a strict economic standpoint, All-Clad employs 286 people with annual revenues of $57 Million and only some - not all - of the metals it uses in its cookware are U.S. produced. Costco on the other hand, employs 254,000 people and has annual revenues of $3.659 billion. Couldn't an argument be made that Costco is the larger economic driver in the U.S. and, since I am on budget and need to save money where I can, purchasing the Kirkland pans is the smarter move?

I guess the best way to support U.S. would be to do all that we can to be the number one exporter to the world. That would ensure jobs and deal with the unavoidable reality that we are inseparably woven into a global marketplace. All the best!

You have great data, but do the math: Revenue per person: 57M / 286 employees = ~200K in revenue per employee 3659M / 254000 employees = ~15K in revenue per employee All Clad, clearly generates more economic value per employee. As far as saving money is concerned... All Clad has been known to last a lifetime, literally. If you buy a $1000 a set and use it 40 years, your getting that set for $25/year (and can probably pass it down). If the Kirkland set lasts 10 years, then you saved $50... but now you need to buy new cookware at a higher cost (inflation)... do that 4 times and I wager you lose money in the long run.

I have an All-Clad 12 in fry pan and loved it for awhile. Then I got the DaTerra Cucina ceramic 11 in pan and found myself putting the All-Clad away and using the DaTerra as my daily pan. It’s oven safe to 450° also...though I’ve never personally used it in my oven. Made in Italy.

@@AwareHouseChef I realize it’s not an apples to apples comparison as one of mine is SS and the other is ceramic-coated...though, I think it’s best for health reasons to mix up the cookware types a bit as most All-Clad and other SS cookware use an uncomfortable amount of nickel. Could be concerning if eating foods cooked on it too often. Ceramic coating isn’t perfect either (I think Xtrema ceramic is the only ceramic, as it’s all ceramic and not just a coating, that’s deemed truly safe/healthy.) With the Da Terra, it’s nice not to have any toxic Teflon exposure, but still be able to make pancakes, eggs, chicken, anything really with evenly cooked results...and cleanup is so easy. For pancakes, I use the Da Terra and cast iron at the same time. The look of the pancakes are slightly different (how they brown) but both taste equally great. It is good to get a little iron supplementation from the cast iron, however! But back to All-Clad SS, it certainly is durable and has a fantastic warranty, so I’d say everyone still should have a small SS saucepan and fry pan in the kitchen. But really enjoyed the comparison vid you did. There are certainly many options to choose from!! Now back to health. 😉 I think your vid also displayed well the amount of EMF radiation your induction ranges are emitting due to what they’re doing to your microphone. If researched, you’ll find induction cooktops do indeed expose you to high levels of EMF radiation. Big health impact there. Gas and electric ranges would be safer options. Recommend buying an EF/EMF/RF meter to check levels around the house. And of course, stay far away from your microwave when it’s running! 💞 Take care of yourself. YHWH bless you!

If you treat stainless steel like cast iron, it will become almost as nonstick. The main difference is that seasoning doesn't bond as well to stainless. If you clean off the seasoning off stainless steel, it becomes almost as sticky as bare cast iron.

I would love to have the new Kirkland cookware set. Unfortunately, I can't justify the cost because the set I bought over a decade ago is still beautiful and cooks whatever I need it to and no warping. I bought an expensive name-brand 12-inch skillet as a companion piece and it warped within the first month. I think my Kirkland is still beautiful because I use a combination of blue scrub sponge, dish liquid, and baking soda to polish them up a few times a month. This method has kept my mother's Corningware sparkling white too. (I inherited them in 2010.)

Go to KZfaq and type in America's Test Kitchen pans They'll give you a detailed, extensive review. I had everything I own stolen which included my AllClad stainless pans. I'm in my 70s now and didn't want to spend the amount of money that the All Vlad pans cost. I bought the runner up which is Tramonrina stainless tri-ply all clad MADE IN BRAZIL. I love these pans. If you have the time to shop and compare prices, you can do very well. Otherwise, they tend to be a lot more expensive. If you're really on a budget and you want a great plan for the price, I'd get the Costco set. Note:. If you take a hot pan and put it in cold water, it WILL warp, so don't.

If you decide to go All Clad (or anything really), I would just get single pieces as you need. Do you really *require* a 13 piece set? Or will you actually only really use a skillet, a sauce pan, and a stock pot? Does your stock pot need to be fully clad ($200+) or will a disk bottom ($50) work just as well (since it’ll always hold liquid)? I think sets of kitchen equipment in general is typically a waste of money. Pot sets, knife sets, baking sheet sets (do you really need 3 sizes or would 3 half sheets be more useful?), etc.

I purchased my 18 piece All-Clad set on clearance from Williams Sonoma for $599 over 12 years ago. After heavy daily use they look and cook like new. I’ve never regretted my purchase. The worst burnt on “accidents” have always soaked off easily and Bar Keepers Friend brings it back to new. I purchased an additional “All Clad” pan from Amazon and it was horrible! With close inspection it looked like a counterfeit pan. I returned it for a full refund. If the pan you used was the only All-Clad pan you’ve ever tried, I would definitely recommend trying one that you are sure is a genuine All-Clad. It’s unfortunate, but there are occasional ones that look real, in real looking boxes, but are fakes made with subpar, cheaper metals, etc. I haven’t had luck with thinner pans that won’t withstand high temperatures and can’t go under the broiler. It sounds like your preferred set might be fine if you’re willing to adjust your cooking style. For myself I like All-Clad and Lodge cookware.

Great video! I don't have either of the brands that you tested. I have a couple of Tramontina pans. An 8" and 10" skillet. I really like them. One of my favorite things about them is how easy they clean up. I have been using "Barkeepers Friend" for "Stainless Steel" for years and love it. Over time this powder acts like a polishing compound and smoothes the pan to the point that they clean up almost as easy as non-stick. I fry pork chops in the 10" and I sear the chops seriously on both sides. To clean the pan I wipe out the fat and oil with a paper towel and use the sprayer on the sink to rinse out 90-95 percent of the mess ( I kid you not). I then use the Barkeepers Friend to remove any oxidation or "blueing" in the pan. It also works great on the outside of the pans to clean the bottoms of burn marks and it buffs out the finish to make them look new again. I see in the comments that alot of you have long-time use of stainless steel pans. If you haven't used "BF" yet give it a try. My sister had an older set of Farberware's 18/10 Millenium pots and pans. She didn't know about "BF" and just used dishsoap and cleanser to clean them. They looked a little worn. I got her some "BF" and I cleaned the whole set for her and she couldn't believe how they cleaned up...they looked as-good-as-new!

Also, when you put a straight edge at the bottom of a brand new Allclad, it's not flat and tends to bulge in the middle at high temperature. We cook using induction and we find Demeyere 5-ply SS, Le Creuset & Staub cast iron are great for induction cooking. Note, Le Creuset stainless steel series skillets are terrible for induction cooking.

i have had my all clads for about 10 years. and i have burned on some epic messes. the super easy way to clean them is to deglaze them like your making a sauce. have them already at a high heat and dump water in them. little dish soap of any kind. bring them to a full rolling boil toss in a scotch bright pad and stir it with a wooden spoon or any utensil with a little bit of pressure. dump the pan and hit a stubborn spot with the scotch bright while it is still really hot. repeat if necessary for a complete cooking failure. they are metal safe i have used a metal whisk and casually stir with little effort before the scotch brite. other than one legendary failure which was making caramel that came out the color of charcoal. it maybe takes 30 seconds of effort once the water boils to clean 99% of the mess up. sink water is not hot enough to clean stainless efficiently. i clean my cast iron the same way which will raise some eyebrows. the faster you get to cleaning them the easier it is. i clean mine soon as the food comes out. too hot to put in your mouth anyway.
