All Clad Stainless-simply Soup Set

What a great value...I'm very pleased with this purchase!
I hesitated to buy this set because I couldn't believe the price -- $169.95 for the All-Clad stainless 6-qt stockpot, plus two All-Clad ramekins, a ladle and cookbook. I thought perhaps it was a thinner version (as is the case with the 12" covered non-stick fry pan I purchased from Williams-Sonoma recently for $99 -- but love nonetheless because it heats and cooks just as well as my thicker 10" fry pan but is lighter). But this is the real deal! I am so pleased with this purchase. I haven't used the stockpot yet but it is identical to the one in my local Williams-Sonoma store. I love the ramekins. When I get home from work, I have used them to heat up left-overs on my gas stove -- healthier than using the microwave -- and then I eat right from them. They heat the food beautifully and clean up easily, leaving fewer dishes to wash. They are heavy and thick and aesthetically pleasing to look at and hold. The box said that the stockpot was made in the USA (PA) but the stockpot...
Value priced for All-Clad quality
Like Eileen from Boston, I was surprised to see this set at this price. Just the pot costs nearly as much on its own, but this set has a ladle, 2 half-quart ramekins, and a great cookbook (printed in Canada). And the pot is not thin. The day this set arrived, I immediately made a recipe from the included book, chicken/orzo/tomato/zucchini stew, using canned broth and tomatoes, and it was great. The pot is 6qt, right-weight, made in the USA, and while the lid's made in China (every lid/non-bonded item is, per their website, so the ladle & ramekins are from China), it fits perfectly on the pot. I've had that same good lid-fit experience with their braiser pan. I highly recommend reading the Care & Use page on All-Clad's web site, as it covers preheating, using low to medium heat, etc. Also see All-Clad's site for a FAQs page which answers 23 questions. For even more details, see their Cookware Materials page. These pages are all under the Customer Service navigation menu at the upper...
Great ALL-CLAD & GREAT PRICE ! !
The pot alone is more than what I paid. It was like getting paid to take the cook book, ladle, & ramequins. The quality of the pot is A+THREE PLY. The ramequins are NOT THREE PLY but it's not really necessary anyway. GREAT DEAL !!
