Just what I ordered

I recently bought this set since I am building a house that is going to have an induction stove. The set outs very nice and o can’t help but believe that it will last a life time. I see some are disappointed that they don’t seem to maintain their brilliant luster after use, to that I say I plan to use them not show them off. I just hope I can learn to cook well enough to brag on what I used to cook with. No one needs to see them except me...
I e had this pan for 20 years and while I don’t use it often (it’s huge!) when I do, it’s indispensable. It’s great for searing large roasts! The only downside is even though it’s far sturdier than anything else in this size, it does warp over time. It’s still ok on a gas cooktop but it’s insufferably too warped for use on a smooth cooktop. Also for some reason the handles on the new D3 have less rounded edges that dig into your hand more than the original 3-ply pans. I’m glad mine is from the 90’s but too bad the handles aren’t more ergonomic.
I use this cookware in the oven a lot, something many other brands can't sustain. The pots and pans from two sets I own (10-piece and 7-piece compact) have replaced my casserole dishes, roasting pans and baking dishes! I know the lids aren't really supposed to go into the oven, but I don't bake higher than 350 degrees and none of my lids have warped or discolored to this day. They are stainless steel, after all! Barkeeper's Friend cleans every pot and pan every time like new so far. I never put my All-Clad in the dishwasher and never will.
