Editor's Notes & Price Research
Written by
3-ply bonding combines a conductive aluminum core with durable stainless steel all the way to the rim for even heat and reliable performance. Safe for gas, electric, ceramic, and induction stovetops Oven-safe up to 600°F.
Notice: please be aware that there are two factories. One in the USA which is produces the Hugh quality lines. The other is in China and produces volume similar to Calphon/fabreware etc. I've had both. The ones made in the USA are almost 30 years old and perfect. The others barely make it a few years under hard use.
It says specifically made for bloomingdale. Can anyone comment on the quality?
Why? D5 is way more expensive with no real benefit over D3.
Don't take my word for it:
"Do I Need a Five-Ply Skillet?
In a word: No. During our tests, five layers cooked about the same as three, so why pay nearly $100.00 more for more layers? When we compared the cooking performance of the All-Clad d5 skillet to the same company's three-layered d3 skillet, we noticed that the five-layer pan was slightly heavier and cooked a bit more slowly. (This makes sense, since All-Clad's five-layer pan has an extra layer of steel at its core and steel transmits heat more sluggishly than aluminum). Other pans with five layers ranked even lower (primarily due to other design factors), and they all cost more."

This one is made in USA according to bloomingdale website.
This probably makes no different to anyone, but I hate the stock pot in this set (I have a similar one . . . I want to say from Macys). I much prefer taller stock pots.

With the description of this product stating, specifically, "Made in USA" would you recommend this purchase? I'm assuming yes, based on your previous statement, but I'd like to get an additional confirmation before attempting to pull the trigger.
