All clad stainless steel cookware is a great choice for virtually any kitchen, no matter how much you cook! For the price, you’d be hard pressed to find anything better, or even close to matching this powerhouse cookware brand.
Today I’m going to talk about the different options you have when it comes to All-Clad stainless. I’ll also talk about different prices you can expect to pay for different sets and individual pots and pans.
What is it exactly about a stainless steel cookware set that we find so appealing? Is it the beauty of the gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, polished nicely and sitting on our countertops? Or is it the even heat distribution on the cooking surface that makes cooking with them such a joy? Whatever it is, one thing is for sure; All-Clad has you covered with high quality cookware that’s built to last.
How Much Can You Expect To Pay For All-Clad Stainless?
Just about the only downside to these cookware sets is the price. You can expect to pay quite a bit for both a set as well as individual pieces.
As an example, the All-Clad Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set contains a 2 quart covered saucepan, 3 quart covered saucepan, 10 inch fry pan, 3 quart covered casserole pan, 6 quart covered stockpot; all made out of stainless steel with an aluminum core will run you a cool $600.
Of course, this set has more 5 out of 5 stars customer reviews than just about any other set out there, but still it’s very pricey! Based on aggregate ratings, I give it a solid 98% A grade.
Because of the high price, many people choose to only pick up a few choice pieces such as a large skillet and maybe a large pot but you’re not going to save a whole lot of money doing that. Expect to pay about $100 apiece for a larger pot or pan.
For instance, an All-Clad Stainless 2-Quart Saucepan costs $105 and an All-Clad Stainless 12-Inch Fry Pan cost about $117. At the same time, an All Clad Stainless Steel 5 Quart Saute Pan 5405 costs $200.
So your best bet really is to focus on finding a good solid set that meets your exact needs instead of trying to mix and match a few choice pieces here and there because you’ll end up spending much more buying individual pots and pans even though that seems counter intuitive.
The Ultimate Stainless Cookware Set?
The All-Clad Stainless 14-Piece Cookware Set may be the ultimate set. It comes with a 10 inch fry pan as well as a 12 inch fry pan, a 2 and 3 quart saucepan both with lids, a 3 and a 6 quart sauté pan both with lids, a 12 inch chef’s pan with lid, and an 8 quart Stock pot with a lid. Made out of 18/10 magnetic stainless steel with a pure aluminum core and riveted stay-cool handles, this set will run you $1,200.
All Clad Stainless Steel Cookware may be expensive, but it’s rare these days that you truly get what you pay for, but that’s the case when it comes to All-Clad. For my money, there isn’t another brand of cookware I would rather have in my kitchen day after day and I hope you come to enjoy it as much as I do. Whether you’re a professional or amateur chef, All-Clad has you covered.
