I started out with this set over 25 years ago. My collection has grown to probably 20+ pieces and another 6 or so in a vacation rental we own. Yes, you do have to learn how to cook to avoid sticking, but it's never anything that some Easy-Off Blue oven cleaner or Barkeepers friend can't handle.
Of special note, friends thought we were crazy putting All-Clad in our vacation rental (where cookware gets no respect, trust me) instead of some cheap non-stick pans. Boy, were they wrong! While they replace their cheap cookware every 2-3 years or so, our All-Clad has proven indestructible. One pan lid is a little discolored from sitting on a hot burner, but it didn't even warp at all. Full disclosure, we do keep a couple HA-1 frying pans around for eggs, etc. but in 8 years we've got no complaints and lots of compliments about having 'the good stuff' as one guest referred to it in their review.
This fits the large burner on our induction cooktop perfectly and is exactly the size that I wanted for large batches of soups and stews, as well as jam and jelly making. Just made my first batch of jelly and it worked beautifully. It held a double batch with plenty of room to spare, and no scalding on the bottom of the pot. I don't have an induction compatible canner and it doubled well for this purpose. Very pleased with this pot's performance, With the cooler weather coming and winter just around the corner it will be getting lots of use.
