These pans are tri-ply where the outer 2 layers are 18/10 stainless steel with an aluminum core layer. The aluminum doesn't come into contact with your food and even if it did, ever use aluminum foil for anything cooking related?
18/10 stainless is the standard of food-grade stainless steel with a balance between corrosion resistance from the chromium and not too much chromium so as to be toxic. 18/8 is arguably better, but even top end pans from All-Clad still use 18/10.
I don't buy stainless steel products when I cannot find the grade of stainless steel (e.g. random manufacturers on Amazon for things like mixing bowls or pots and pans). Who knows if that stuff is food grade.
I have the Sams club version, but with all stainless buy some barkeepers friend for badly stuck/burnt bits and everything comes off real nice. They're dishwasher safe as well.
What is in the glazes used to make the pretty colors on those ceramic pans though?
Lead is often used in a crystal and crystal is a food safe product because the lead doesn't leach out. It's possible that the glazes of the ceramic pans have some nasty compounds too that are just as innocuous when combined in the right proportions.
I agree with some caution, but just because something contains a chemical that is harmful by itself doesn't make the finished compound harmful. At some point you need to put food on something to cook it (or minimally to eat it).

It just has different pieces. I'm not sure where the Walmart one is made. Costco says theirs is made in Brazil.
https://www.seriouseats.com/equip...-saute-pan here's a good article about skillet cooking vs saute pan. I don't shake saute anything, so I'd prefer the greater surface area of saute pans, personally.
I got a smaller set a few years back for $89. It was incredible value for the $. Zero complaints. No reason to consider any other brand, to be honest (until you start looking for copper-clad, 5-ply, certain handle designs, etc.). And you cant beat the return policy.
And for those "you get what you pay for" naysayers...All-Clad post-sales support is very poor, full stop.
I have a similar set I got from Walmart a few years ago (same 12pc just slightly different styling) for $225 (now $269) and it's great cookware. Anyone that comes over and sees it compliments on how nice it is.
This deal is $50 less than what I paid for the same thing. Seems slick to me
I heard good review of the Kirdland set. Is this one better than the Kirkland brand set?
I have same question about this brand.
I have been using the Kirkland set for over a year now and it's excellent. Only complain for few might be the weight of these pans, they are heavy. But I love them.
If price isn't the main concern any reason to go with this over All-Clad? I just recently started my all clad collection and I'm wondering if I should return them.
