I have some All Clad tri-play pans and the Tramontina pans are a near match and at a much cheaper price. I will purchase Tramontina going forward as the performance is comparable.
I was looking for a new pot set that was dishwasher safe and had the sizes I needed. So far, these pots have been awesome. Even heat and easy clean up.
The pots heats quickly and evenly. Pouring is not great; it never looks at bright and shiny on the inside as when I bought it and I've only had it a month
Am replacing little by little all my old cookware with the Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel cookware. Following the directions regarding warmup and use of pan make it easy to use, and clean up is a cinch. Highly recommend this company. Only wish they would make a roasting pan!
Was happy to replace scratched up non-stick pans. Love the shiny exteriors on these, but they are a bit lighter than my old non-stick all clads (from my wedding a decade ago). I agree with others that the lids are somehow dainty—they kind of rattle when I pop popcorn for example. My old pan lids fit on these so I use those instead. Within the first few days I’ve had some discoloration on the interior of this pan, despite following instructions and not using high heat (this has also increased cooking times for things a bit.) This is my first time using stainless steel pans, so I may have done something ignorant. Cooking ground beef seems to be better in this pan than my old ones. They work well, and definitely seem to offer a somewhat affordable option for people who want to switch to stainless steel pans. I’m not much of a chef so the high price of all clad or others wasn’t something I could justify. I also bought the 2 quart and loving that one, which I use most often for boiling, nice size with nice proportions.
