Better than expected. I researched a lot and after reviewing multiple other brand pans and even their D5 line, I came to the conclusion that the D3 was more than what I needed for everyday cooking. I have this set along with a couple carbon steel pan. I purchased Bar Keepers Friend and no matter how grimmy the pans end up after cooking, they look good as new. The cleaning process take a little longer than the old non-stick pans but it is worth it. First I use hot water with regular dish soap to remove oil and grime, and I rinse and repeat with Bar Keeper Friend, and then I rewash again with dish soap simply because I notice that Bar Keeper friend leaves a white film. Other than that, these are the best pans I have owned... no more non-stick pans for me!!!
Wonderful set. Great variety of sizes for multiple cooking uses. Very helpful instructions on heating, cooking and cleaning. I won't use non stick pans again!
I tried frying burgers and it was horrific trying to clean the inside of this pan!! I will only use for making casseroles and other meals that don’t need just frying. I will return to Non stick for all frying!
I was in the market for a new cookware set and decided to go with All-Clad based on reviews and the advice of a good friend. The lifetime warranty also helped push me over the edge. So far, I have been very impressed with the quality and performance. This cookware feels substantial and high quality without being overly heavy. The pans heat up quickly and evenly. They have been easy to clean and look amazing.
