Cooks Standard NC-00232 12-Piece Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel Cookware Set

Same quality as Le Creuset, better design than All-Clad!
Reviewing: Cooks Standard NC-00232 12-Piece Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel​ Cookware Set. (I have all the items, except I bought them separately).

VALUE. I've been wanting a set of tri-ply stainless cookware and never understood the premium people were willing to pay for All-Clad. I was really glad to find this brand - I got the 10-piece set and the 11" deep pan - it was cheaper at the time to buy it separately, than to buy this set that includes it (I think now buying this set is the best value). The sets are a fantastic value, the separate items are a bit more pricey, though. I also ended up ordering the 13" "wok" (chef's pan with dome lid) - it might not be a true wok, but it's a great risotto vessel or for anything else that will require "tossing"!

CONSTRUCTION/QUALITY. Anyway, these are so well made. And attention to detail is excellent - these are designed by smart people. I also have a couple of tri-ply Le Creuset sauce pots and Cooks Standard is...
Worthy of nesting with my All-Clad
I own 10" and 12" All Clad skillets and love their beauty and functionality. I was looking to retire pathetic old deteriorated non stick cookware and fill out my cookware with more All Clad but was loath to pay the price. Looking at lower cost alternatives led me to Cuisinart Multiclad and Emirel Pro Clad as well as the lesser known Cook's Standard. Of the three the closest to my All Clad appeared to be the Cooks Standard, the only one I could verify to be of similar weight materials and using 18/10 stainless for the interior steel cladding.

I was not disappointed by the purchase. It had all the pieces I needed (I really like the large 5 qt saute pan with lid), it is indeed a beautiful set (really is more beautiful than my All Clad and performs as well). I was surprised at how comfortable the handles are on all the pieces, the lids fit well and they cook and clean as my All Clad does. I really love this set. While I have only owned this set for two months now I have...
Cooks Standaed 12 pc Multi-ply cookware set
Recieved order in 4 days. Absolutely beautiful. Cooks great easy to clean. I hope that cooks Standard will make more cookware. I would like for them to make a lid for the 10 inch skillet. I do most of my cooking in that. A great value !!
