Here is a helpful diagram if you are as confused as I am about All-Clad's product lines: https://www.williams-sonoma.com/s...omp-chart/

This is a great deal on a great set, with some caveats. First, I would take one 12" skillet over a 10" and an 8" any day of the week. A 12" is your go-to. It's not that often that a skillet being too big is actually a problem. But a skillet being too small can wreck your dish, as the stuff that should be cooking through contact with the pan will be cooked by steaming instead.

These are great saucepans though. If you actually use saucepans to make sauces (especially if they have sugar, egg, or dairy in them), you really benefit from even heating and fast response. My saucepan only has the stainless/aluminum sandwich on the bottom, so the sides get extra hot. I was making caramel and the sugar on the sides burned, making the whole sauce taste burnt. Pans like these that are clad on the bottom and sides will help you avoid that.

Skillets are a different story. I have an All Clad skillet and cheap anodized aluminum ones, and the difference is not enormous.

The stock pot is cool depending on how you use it. Sometimes a soup recipe will start with cooking meat and vegetables in the bottom of the pot, and that leaves some flavorful stuff behind that ends up in the broth. If you do that, the All Clad will improve it. If all you do is boil water for pasta, it is overkill.

So I'm never sure if these All Clad sets are actually a good deal. Wirecutter is wrong - this is not a top of the line set. All Clad makes a copper core line that has even better saucepans. Meanwhile with this set, your 8-inch high-performance skillet is not likely to see much use. It's a great deal for what you get, but for some people, mixing and matching is going to be a better use of your $430.
$75 in 1972 dollars would be equivalent to about $625 today. Looks like you overpaid.
Wasn't Costco's deal the D5? Not saying D5 is better, many prefer D3 due to lighter weight. I'm fairly certain I've seen this in the low to mid $300's. I own it but can't recall what I paid for it, but definitely a good bit less than $430+tax. I encourage anyone interested in buying to verify my claim by searching old slickdeals posts. I bought mine about a year ago from Bloomingdales.

I actually bought this set yesterday so I decided to look around. The D3 8-piece set was $225 at Bloomingdales last October, that was pretty much the one and only time there was a good deal on the D3 set, although it had two less pieces than this one. The D5 has been around $500 a few times, but the last time was in 2017, so it's been a while. So while this may not be the all time lowest price on this, if you need new pots and pans RIGHT NOW (like I did), this is a solid deal.

I'm 100% Costco was $550 for D3 10-pc - I know b/c I had it in my cart and was pissed when it was sold out the next day. Regarding D5, it is "better" but according to Wirecutter (and some other review I read), they found D5 conducted heat almost too well, and they preferred D3.

From personal experience, I can't tell the difference between D5 and D3 in 99% of things I have cooked. That last 1% is likely at least partly just looking for a difference. What I can tell is that the D5 is notably heavier (the D3's aren't exactly light).

You might be thinking of the 7pc All-Clad set that Macy's often offers for $300.

I largerly agree with this post. For a couple/small family, this is a decent set for the price although I suspect a lot of folks(certainly those with larger families) would be better served buying pieces a la carte (especially during All-Clad's factory seconds sales). I completely agree about the 12" skillet vs the 10"/8" combo. I'd also argue that a 10" skillet & 10" saute pan are generally redudant; I rarely use my saute pan (mostly for poaching a bunch of eggs simultaneously) although that's a preference thing (some folks prefer saute pans to skillets).

I prefer enamel cast iron for sauce pans (Le Creuset makes great ones which you can find decent deals on at their outlets). For the soup use case mentioned, I don't generally use a stock pot but rather a larger enamel cast iron (LC) or enamel steel (Dansk Kobenstyle) dutch oven. I also keep aluminum pots for quick use cases (i.e. boiling water, pasta, etc.).

I agree with pretty much everything you say (other than I can't tell the difference between D3 and D5 outside of weight), these will not make basic tasks like boiling water better. To reinforce your comment about their sauce pans: I make a few things where the first step requires gently heating some milk in a sauce pan. I always assumed that having a small amount of "burnt" (for a lack of a better term) milk solids at the bottom was just a part of the process. Upgraded to the All-Clad D3 sauce pan a couple years ago and haven't had any burnt milk at the bottom unless I set the heat too high.

Personally, for a skillet, the wife and I strongly prefer our old cast iron skillet (1930-40s Lodge it seems, unmarked version so it was cheap <$25) to even the All-Clad skillets. The cast iron skillet basically remains on the stove and never gets put away. The All-Clad gets used for dishes which are either not compatible with cast iron or when we need to have multiple skillets going at once.

An extreme YMMV too but... Posting as it could be of value in future at Macy's but this happened with me for this same set.

I'm not sure if you get lucky in-store if you could get them to price match the discounts here but if you could, you may also be able to bundle with the "X% off by using Macy's card" as well as an additional 20% for using statement credit if you open a card.

My actual experience was when they offer the extra 20-25% with $5 donation + the current coupon promo. Price ended up being ~$500 before Macy's card, took it down to $400 by paying for it with card, and then $320 after the 20% statement credit for opening.

Just had the D5 deal, now this D3. Hopefully all copper is next? The last all copper in SD was from a year ago for $700...

Picked up the D3 set for $300 earlier in the year, a super novice and finally adulting with real pots and pans... 7 piece was perfect for what I needed it for. May be good for those that need the extra pieces.

Someone please want to explain to me, why the heck this set is over $100?? ...seriously asking cause I don't know what's so special about these (other than brand i guess) that make them worth originally $1166.99. I'm not an expert chef, but I do cook a lot and I never got the reasoning for such crazy prices! Do they cook better somehow? Do they last long? All the sets I've gotten have been below $50 lol and they're still in tact after multiple years...
