Heavy cast or rolled aluminum is the optimum material for pots and pans. Based on this fact, Magnalite cast aluminum gourmet cookware was the best you could get from about the 1950's through the '70's. However, there are some problems with aluminum as a cooking surface. Some foods react with it and cause discoloration; it's hard to clean, a fact that became glaringly obvious with the advent of non-stick surfaces. And there have been reported health issues related to cooking food in contact with aluminum (experts currently assess the risks as insignificant).

All-Clad is the heir apparent to the position of "creme de la creme" among cookware. The inner layer of metal is aluminum to evenly conduct heat throughout the pan. The cooking surface is stainless steel, the ideal surface because it is non-reactive, easy cleaning, and more durable than nonstick compounds. All Clad offers a variety of exterior finishes to suit your taste. Finally, this line is WELL BUILT. It will outlast anything else in the kitchen.

This may be the most expensive cookware but it's also the best. For a person who doesn't have the physical strength to handle very heavy cookware, this may not be a good choice. For anyone else who is willing to pay for it, this is what you want to cook with.

Typical for All-Clad, quality is excellent. This is the perfect size for soups. I also use it in place of the 5 quart stock pot for stove top rice casseroles. The extra volume ensures there's no chance of spills or boil overs. And the thing I didn't expect is how easy it is to clean.

No matter how low I set the temperature, chili and spaghetti sauce always stuck to the bottom of my stockpot, which I always thought of good quality. I would handle it with care to avoid acrid burnt tomato sauce from ruining the meal. No longer a problem! Having cooked a huge pot of chili, I can report a clean bottom on this stockpot with no fear of ruining a family favorite. It cooks so evenly, with no hot spots. I am thrilled with this pot.
