It has a small surface area and tall, straight edges, which we find translated to less time at the sink filling with water to cover our eggs. The 2-quart saucepan is one of our favorites for boiling eggs. The skillets and saucepans feature a uniquely shaped handle: it's thin with a long, deep indent that promotes a good grasp when flipping ingredients. In our tests, the skillet heated evenly and produced a mostly evenly browned steak thanks to its sloped edges, which likely contributed to the good browning. Each piece is made of three layers: a stainless steel interior and exterior and an aluminum core. When we tested eight different All-Clad sets this one came out on top for it's superior performance. If you're looking for a larger cookware set, Tramontina also sells a 10 piece and 12 piece set, both had affordable price-points as well.Īll-Clad's D3 Tri-Ply Stainless Steel 10-Piece Set is our best overall All-Clad cookware set.
The cookware is oven safe up to 500☏ as well. We did notice that the interior rivets can collect food, but thankfully this cookware set is dishwasher-safe. This tri-ply cookware set is lightweight compared to other pieces of stainless steel, but also very durable. We also noticed that handles and lids were still cool to touch even after simmering tomato sauce for 15 minutes. And the stockpot boiled 6-quarts of water in under 18 minutes both on a gas and induction stove. In scorch testing, burnt on tomato sauce easily removed from the 2-quart saucepan without any staining. In fact, we've been using the 8- and 10-inch skillets for years now to test gas and electric ranges in our Lab because the cookware offers excellent heat distribution. Tramontina Gourmet Tri-Ply Clad 8 Piece Cookware Set offers the perfect combination of affordability and great performance. While the Hestan Nanobond 10-Piece Cookware set may seem pricy at first glance, it's priced competitively with other high-end cookware and outperforms many. They cleaned up with a quick wash after our sauce scorching test.
The other pieces in the set are useful as well with two saucepans that retain heat well. Plus, it has a wide surface area and shallow edges that make it great for sauteing. Like the rest of the pans, it's sturdy with a long handle and finger grip on the underside that helps balance the pan well. (We've been using it at home almost daily for the past three years and then some!) In our tests, it heated evenly and browned steak nicely on both sides with little staining.
The 11-inch fry pan is our go-to for almost every meal. Their color deepens over time but can be brought back to like-new condition with the included Hestan cleaner. Plus, they have flush rivets so food has even fewer areas to get stuck in. In our Lab tests, they barely required any elbow grease, and, in our home tests, testers found that soaking them for a bit makes them even easier to clean. The pots and pans are infused with titanium, which makes them strong and practically nonstick, which can be one of the biggest pain points of stainless steel cookware, especially when it comes to cleaning.
