With that said, the Essentials line from All-Clad is their lowest-end one. I'm not necessarily saying they're bad products, and they're likely better than most cookware products available at department stores, but do note that their Essentials line isn't the same as their traditional lines. For example, Essentials are made in China, whereas All-Clad products are mostly made in the USA. The materials used are obviously not the same as their stainless steel products. Fortunately, these Essential non-stick products still have a limited lifetime warranty.
This chart [salsify.com] helps show the differences between the All-Clad lines.
The $669.99 list price is highly exaggerated and rather misleading. This exact product has a regular price of $449.93 at All-Clad.com [all-clad.com], and is currently on sale for $399.99.
I hope this helps,

Carbon steel and cast iron can have very good non-stick properties but takes a bit of work to season. But no major health concerns that I know of. Also these last forever and the surface can be reseasoned.
The bulk of your equipment should be stainless

That may be so, but if I can get similar results with a well-seasoned carbon steel or cast iron pan, why take the chance ingesting PFAS/PFOA etc? I'm already full of micro plastics but would rather not add to that.
The ones that are disposable are the Tfal ones that costs like $10 and have only a paper thin coating of non stick.
I got that set and it's 4 D3 pans, and three lids vs 6 disposable pans and lids plus $5 in silicone trivets in this deal. Sounds like you already have stainless pans though. Either way I'd save my money and not bother with this set, personally.
Btw why are you paranoid about cooking in carbon steel? Ppl here and other reviewers are saying for non-stick purposes you can use carbon steel and cast iron. For acidic you use stainless. Don't even need tri-ply if it's soups and sauces.

Agree with this. I'm still using my Circulon Infinite (non stick) set daily that was given as a wedding present 16 years ago.
Not the prettiest anymore, but every piece still has an intact, working non stick coating.

Yep. Would never buy this set. I have a few ns pans for specific uses (omlettes for example). Having a whole set makes no sense. All my other pans work great for their use - and I'll never have to replace them, unlike this set.
