Product Description

One of the most popular of the five All-Clad cookware collections, LTD features the contemporary styling of a dark, anodized aluminum exterior. Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad LTD combines an easy-to-care-for, highly polished cooking surface of 18/10 stainless steel that is stick and corrosion-resistant with a thick core of aluminum. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the utensil. LTD cookware's anodized aluminum exterior offers today's cook the best of two worlds: the beauty of a charcoal black, hardcoat exterior contrasted with a gleaming stainless steel interior. Unlike utensils that are anodized inside and out, food can be stored in an LTD pot or pan and will not react with its surface. Offering a lifetime of pleasure and professional-style cooking results, the anodized exterior of All-Clad LTD will not scratch, chip or peel. The company's signature "stay-cool" stainless steel long handles, and lids -- fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel -- are attached with stainless steel rivets.

"All-Clad is the best and will last a lifetime. LTD looks great. This is a great set!"
By, Joshua G. Feldman "Technophile" (New York)

"My wife an I duked it out between Calphalon Commercial Nonstick (now called "Contemporary") which she preferred for its lighter weight and All-Clad which I prefer for its tougher build. We have a bunch of each. The All-Clad stuff is better hands down. It heats quicker and more evenly. It seems to cook requiring lower stove temperatures. The anodized exterior is smoother and of higher quality. The clad stainless interior is exquisite and easy to clean.

This particular set is awesome - the most required pieces (6 Qt stock pot, 3 QT Saute, 2 QT Saucier, 8" and 10" fry pans, and 2 quart sauce pan). They constitute a complete kitchen set, lacking only, perhaps, a couple of larger pans (12" fry and 5 Qt. Saute are really nice to have). The choice of stainless interior versus nonstick is personal - but I recommend the stainless interior. First of all, the stainless interior is virtually indestructible and will last a lifetime. All-Clad's nonstick interior is the best in the business, but it does wear out. I've had several LTD nonstick pieces for 9 years now. The ones that get a lot of wear are starting to wear out. Nothing is more pathetic than a battleship built All-Clad pan with a frayed nonstick interior. It's like putting fur in a truck bed. Nonstick might be easier to clean up - but the difference is trivial. Maybe you have the intention of cooking with less oil, but the difference between nonstick and LTD's excellent mirror-like stainless interior is also trivial. I find the arguments for nonstick hard to defend.

As for the review that says anodized aluminum exteriors are hard to maintain, she should read the product literature. You clean anodized aluminum with a plastic scrubby (like the 3M green ones) with bleach cleanser (like Ajax or Comet). Just make a paste with the cleanser and power away stains in moments. Anodized aluminum - like all aluminum cannot be dish washed. The phosphates and brightening agents in dishwasher soap with create a chalky powdery rot in the anodized surface. If you are determined to dishwash your cookware you must forget about aluminum and stick to stainless steel. All-Clad makes a great like of stainless cookware - but nothing is prettier than LTD's awesome black."

"Amazing Cookware!"
By Jeff and Kim (New Jersey Shore)

"These are so pleasant to cook in. They heat well and the frying pans brown well too! I love to see through the glass lids. That's a plus for me. It's not hard to fall in love with things like these. I recommend them! Another newly-wed item!"

"Feel Like A Chef"
By, Curtis (Oak Harbor, WA)  

"I gave this set to my wife (along with her new Chef coat!) for Christmas and she loves it. While neither of us is a chef, when she cooks for this family of four she may as well be. This set offers a little of everything for the home cook, will last forever, and as the house dishwasher I can say that it cleans easy, even after a few fun flambe's! In fact I've enjoyed cooking more on it too. Highly recommended, and the price is justified because it's the last set you'll need to buy."
