10" fry pan: Excellent versatile mid-size fry pan, particularly good for cramped cooktops.
2-qt. covered saucepan: Good all-purpose pan for sauces or small batches of rice, not really big enough for steaming, soup, popcorn, etc.
3-qt. covered sauté pan: This is a large workhorse pan for sautes and modest-size braising, stews, and stovetop-to-oven dishes
6-qt. covered stockpot: I prefer 8-qt but this can serve as your spaghetti or soup pot, or as a dutch oven.
I've curated some general All-Clad advice in this thread. Worth a look if you're new to All-Clad, or considering it vs. other brands.

Thanks for the detailed post on All-Clad.
Do you suggest this or the one from Costco?

Oof — Just read some Costco reviews. Lots of reports of warping and discoloration, plus complaints about weight and lack of Helper handles on the heaviest pieces.

I was in this situation a few years ago and just went back to using non-stick to cook everything after disappointing results. At some point my non-stick started performing poorly as they do and I went back to the D3 10" pan (the one in this deal) and I figured out I was cooking way too hot and it keeps heat more than cheap non-sticks. Though I still use a non-stick for certain things like potstickers, I default to the All-Clad now. Also feels better cooking on a pan that's not potentially toxic, always hard to tell when a non-stick is starting to wear down.
And here's a big misconception about PFTE-coated nonsticks: they don't become toxic just when they wear down. They actually releases toxins into the air when they are heated to a temperature of about 400 degrees or higher — even a brand new pan.
Since learning that I've really cut back on using nonsticks, and re-committed to learning how to use my cast iron as my primary nonstick (just like stainless, it takes a little learning but I'm a cast iron convert now).
I am a bit uncertain whether the set items sold at Macy's are really the same quality as D3 sold directly from All-Clad. I already have a 10" All Clad fry pan: maybe I should buy this set just to compare...

1 nonstick skillet like Tramontana or Oxo
1 carbon steel wok
1 cast iron skillet
1 large enameled cast iron Dutch oven (Le Creuset or Staub)

It has been around in some form or another since the 90's and has been through many iterations. The consensus is the claims of warping are from older iterations. I just bought it, and it's still sitting in the box. I saw this thread but I don't see what I'd be gaining for twice the price besides brand name.
Either way, Costco will take it back if I have problems. Probably long after all clad will.
