All-Clad Too Pricey? These Affordable Alternatives Are Just As Good
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 тра 2024
- All-Clad is one of the best cookware brands, but it’s also one of the most expensive. Although I believe it’s worth the investment, it’s not the only cookware that performs great and lasts long. In this video, I reveal the best lower-cost alternatives to All-Clad.
If, at the end of the video, you’re still thinking about buying All-Clad but can’t justify the price, I’ll share my secret to getting it at the lowest possible price.

Heritage steel and made in are about the same as All clad, $20 to $40 dollars difference it's not a good savings
@@Maximus01776 it depends which collections you compare. For example, when we compare the cost of 12 inch fry pans:
Made In is $120 madeincookware.com/products/stainless-steel-frying-pan/12-inch
All-Clad D3 is $140 (on sale) www.all-clad.com/d3-stainless-3-ply-bonded-cookware-fry-pan-12-inch.html
All-Clad D5 is $250 www.all-clad.com/d5-stainless-brushed-5-ply-bonded-cookware-fry-pan-12-inch.html
All-Clad Copper Core is $280 (on sale) www.all-clad.com/copper-core-5-ply-bonded-cookware-fry-pan-12-inch.html
I’d say that’s a pretty big savings
@@PrudentReviews thanks for all the links, but that's not apples to apples, cooper models will always be more expensive, we own mauviel and all clad D3, but we are always looking to add stuff
@@PrudentReviewsare you sponsored by Made In ? Because their prices are not that good. I have looked at them for years and they are almost as expensive as all-clad, without the longevity or being made in america.
I’m a man with many hobby’s, but one day for no particular reason I became obsessed about frying pans and pots. And here I am watching every video on UA-cam about every pan. I wound up getting a Made In stainless 12” and a Matfer Carbon Steel pan
Haha same same
"I’m a man with many hobby’s"
* Hobbies. With exceptions so rare that they can be all but ignored, and apostrophe-s NEVER makes a word plural, it makes a singular possessive. Example: I have many hobbies, but one hobby's costs make participating in it a rare event.
Dude, same. Guitars, audio equipment, motorcycles, gaming, diesel trucks, can ams, hunting. UA-cam, particularly America’s Test Kitchen, has been a big help for my cooking in the kitchen. Nevermind what I look at for bbq and smoking meats.
Holy crap I laughed at this way to much. Same here. Don’t even know why I’m watching videos about pots and pans 😂
That Matfer pan is where it's at! Slickest pan I've ever owned
Found some stainless misen pans brand new at a thrift store and I'm loving them
I love your videos. You are thorough, detailed, professional and absolutely clear about what you are teaching or sharing.
I will say: one of the most valuable things I got from factory seconds was a really, really nice whisk for like $12. You don't realize how terrible most whisks are until you get a whisk that feels like it could stir cement.
On the off chance the All Clad was having their Factory Seconds sale I checked the website you pointed us to and was pleasantly surprised. I ended up buying their 7 piece set for $350, normally priced at $850. Thank you for your work and generosity!
Congratulations; that's an excellent price.
I have the Tramontina Triple Clad 12" stainless steel fry pan and I love it. I bought it about a year and a half ago and it only cost around $52.
We bought a set of Emeril Lagasse branded stainless cookware about 5 or 6 years ago at Bed Bath and Beyond. I found out it is actually made by All-Clad. It has been totally satisfactory in everyday household use.
I have been using Cooks Standard tri-ply for years along side a few All-Clad pieces. Pretty much on par with each other.
I have 3 Heritage Steel frying pans. I'll eventually add to those
I like the reviews. They are great for someone that has never bought cookware, or is looking to replace their $30 set of Target pans (yes, went through those each semester in College).
However my AllClad LTD set is around 30yrs old. No trouble. I treat my cookware as a tool, don't baby it, and it is fine. After I take a dirt nap, someone will be able to use it for many, many more years.
Misen for me. I have all the knives and frying pans. Excellent! 👍
I'm a fan of the Vollrath Tribute line. Made in America, restaurant quality, and roughly the same cost of Misen.
Missing from these comparisons are design differences other than those for handles. Different pot shapes and depths affect cooking comfort, at the least. If I've missed a video on this, apologies. But it would be interesting to learn about.
I ask in part because I've used Made In since they started, and it's been a kick to see how they've reshaped their stuff over time. I actually really like their earliest designs because they are unique and fun, but I have also purchased a couple of their newer ones just for variety and interest.
Their two-quart sauce pan used to be a really low pan almost like a mini saute. By comparison, All Clad's 2 qt., I believe, has always been a very high-sided piece, I assume to prevent sauces from burning as a result of too much surface area. Made In has since done away with that funny 2-qt.
I think Made In's skillets have since become more high-sided too. They were really low! But I still like them--they were my first purchase--as it is super super easy to slide things off, and they are just, well, weird and different.
Great video, just got myself a 10 inch All-Clad and an 8.5 inch Heritage at the secondhand store today and couldn't be happier.
Very nice!
I can't say enough good things about Tramontina! I have several pieces from them, skillets and sautee pans, and have never been disappointed by how they cook. I'm very surprised and disappointed that you didn't mention them.
Working on a separate review
I have a few of theirs as well and fully agree. Fantastic pans, esp for the price.
Weird! I had a Tramontina non-stick (Wirecutter pick) replaced 3 times because it kept warping. I bought a Made-in nonstick and I’ve never had a problem with warping. It clearly has a much heavier bottom and sturdier overall construction.
Most residential ovens don't reach 600˚F (aside from self-cleaning mode). Unless you plan on putting your cookware into an 800˚F wood-fired oven, a max temp of 600˚F is fine, assuming the oven has a properly calibrated thermostat, or you have a reliable oven thermometer.
I'm not a fan of All-Clad's handle design, but I bought my set 23 years ago, where there weren't a lot of other options on the market (copper was too expensive, and carbon steel/cast iron aren't suitable for everything), so I live with it. I just consider the lack of comfort to be strong tactile feedback telling me I have a good grip. 😁
As always your reviews are excellent!
Thank you so much :)
I bought couple of all-clad d5 factory seconds and they are both good. I don't see defects on them. I'm planning to get the 6 qt soup pot but I'm torn between a d3 and a d5. W&S has the d5 6 qt for 199 while the d3 6 qt is 279. Why is d3 more expensive?
I bought nearly a full pan set from All-Clad's Home & Cook site. It took a while until I could buy everything since I had to wait for them to have each of the pieces I wanted on sale. I finally got one pot (out of 8 or 9) (an 8 Qt stockpot) with a dent at the bottom. For 60+% off, I'd certainly do it again.
Tramontina is also fantastic and very affordable. I have several of their sauce pans and am very pleased. (Sauce pans aren’t as crucial to have top quality versions of)
Ikea Sensuell is also a great alternative. Compared to All-Clad, it's much cheaper, thicker, and it has sealed rims.
Not really made the same at all… much cheaper materials…
How do these compare to my 1980s old school Revere Ware with copper bottoms?
Thanks for your review! What do you think of Kirkland Signature 5ply cookware?
Haven’t tried it yet but it’s on my list
I have a few pieces of All Clad that I bought when Sur le Table or Williams-Sonoma ran sales, but I have found the Made in Brazil Tramontina to be quite good. Also, I have a few pieces of Cuisinart that are very good.
+1 tramontina. Fantastic value.
Genuine question-what are you cooking at 600+ degrees? How does use differential use at 500+ degrees really matter?
Tramontinia has good Try-Ply cookware. I dont know if its comparable to All Clad, but they are heavy and well made.
I HAVE A BRAZILIAN MADE TRAMONTINA 6QT STOCK POT. BEST POT I EVER OWNED BY FAR.
I love the video! I just recently bought the Legend cookware set, any thoughts on that one?
I’m in the process of testing it now. It’s thick and retains he well - so far so good. Do you like it so far?
@@PrudentReviews thanks for the reply back! Let me know how the rest of your testing goes with it. I have watched a few of your videos and have learned how to use stainless steel cookware now, but food keeps sticking bad to them. I’m wondering if it’s the brand or stainless steel in general that I have to get used to. I was giving them a chance first but wanted to hear your thoughts.
@@PrudentReviews Would love to know your thoughts with Legend Vs. Made In. I'm thinking of getting the copper core legend set while it's 25% off.
@@peaceonearth33 how are you feeling about the pans now?
@@FinallyLiving49 they’re still sticking pretty bad. I’m not returning them though.
I would like clad with a copper core but can’t afford to spend the all clad over pricing. I also wanted to get into the email for the 70% off 2nds that you get a couple days before but couldn’t find the link.
can you offer advice?
I just bought a 9 piece Misen set about 2hrs ago. No more than I'll use it, I couldn't justify the price of some of the other brands.
I bought a cooks standard 3 ply thats very good...
Awesome review what do you think of the tri-ply clad Tramontina stainless steel ?
That’s another solid All-Clad alternative. The construction is the same as All-Clad D3 (steel, aluminum, steel), and the handles are rounder and more comfortable. The lid handles are bigger and easier to grab with an oven mitt. Much more affordable too.
Tramontina
Where does Demeyere fit into the mix? How does it compare to the brands featured in this video?
My best friend is an All-Clad snob. He has two deep drawers under his five-burner gas cooktop. They’re crammed full of AC pots and pans. The Copper Cores are his favorite. Frankly, I’d rather get a large pan, a small pan, and a lidded pot for my stovetop cookware, with a more comfortable handle than All Clad (older, weaker, arthritic hands and wrists are the reason). I’ll check into the Heritage cookware when I need something.
I DESPISE ALL- CLAD'S SKILLET'S HANDLE, BOTH THE SHAPE AND THE ANGLE.
I have had Fischer cookware for 38 years and it still looks new. Of course, these are made in Germany.
For me All Clad all the way!!!
i have bought multiple all-clad pots and pans from belk for like 70% off. they just have it sitting in there on sale all the time
selling direct, may not be cheapest also. since the shipping costs can high if you stay in a place further away, compared to a brand which is sold to retail stores and there is a retail store near you having it.
👍👍👍👍👍 Thx
I will only buy merchandise made in the USA. Thank you for making it easy for me to decide. I’m in the market for some stainless steel cookware. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! I wished I bought the Made In pan instead of the All Clad. I don’t like the handles on the All Clad. I could have had a 5 ply Made In instead of the D3 All Clad. Oh well, thanks for the great info.
Same here, I have big hands and the AC handles to me just suck, they are the opposite of ergonomic imho.
THEY HAVE TO BE THE WOST DESIGNED HANDLES IN THE INDUSTRY ! I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THEM !
I agree
I have some Cusinart, Merten & Storck, Belgique from Macy's bought 30 years ago, Lodge and pieces bought at a restaurant supply store. The best set is one that you've assembled yourself. I prefer heavy bottom pans but with thicker sides. Money is tight for me so every piece is reflective of a great amount of thought.
I will say this about Madein... Their carbon steel wok is horrible! From my extensive experience of Asian cooking and food, one is best off with a $15-40 carbon steel wok from a restaurant supply store. Avoid stainless steel and nonstick woks like the plague.
Ditto, my pots, skillet, sauté pans etc are all purchased to my needs and budget. I purchased my wok 50 years ago from the woman who taught the cooking class and she ordered them from her restaurant supply company…spun Carbon steel so that the food stir fries properly…love it.
I have several woks, including one cast iron wok, which I use on my current 27” stove top (classic coiled electric burners), but I do miss gas cooking. Cement slab home so running gas or changing the size of my stove to 30” isn’t possible without jackhammering the floor and remodeling the kitchen. We adapt as needed.
Funny you mention Belgique. My wife and I received a set about 30 yrs ago also and they have stood the test of time beautifully! I don't know if the newer versions are as good though.
@@WACKENHUT234 it's my favorite cookware
Thanks for the review, but all of these pans are all around the same price on Amazon in the UK. If anything All-Clad is the cheapest one because it comes with a lid.
What are your thoughts on pot and pan sets? Non-stick and stainless.
In general, I don’t recommend sets. Most have unnecessary pieces. But the ones with just the essentials (fry pan, sauté pan, saucepan, stock pot) can be a good deal if you’re starting from scratch.
Great video... any tips on getting a deal on Heritage Steel?
They go on sale only a few times per year. If you sign up for our newsletter, we’ll alert you. prudentreviews.com/newsletter/
They happen to be offering 10% off site wide on HeritageSteel.us right now for the 4th. The sale ends tonight.
Forgot to mention, you have to use code JULY4 at checkout
Awesome thank you so much! And a special thanks for the prompt reply!
What about tramontina?
Tramontina tri-ply is another great All-Clad alternative. I may have to feature it in part 2.
What is your assessment of Demeyere's 5 Plus skillet? My understanding is that the pan itself is identical to their Industry pan.
I haven’t personally used 5 Plus but I believe the only difference is that 5 Plus handles are slightly rounder on the edges than Industry. The handle shape and the actual pans are the same. And I’m a fan of Industry so I’m assuming I’d like 5 Plus the same. Here’s more info that might help prudentreviews.com/demeyere-atlantis-vs-industry/
I got 14 in with lid on sale at Sur la Table a year ago. It is an excellent pan
I'm hearing good things about Goldilocks cookware. And definitely more affordable if you just don't have the moolah.
I’m in the process of testing Goldilocks - so far it’s great
Here's my review: prudentreviews.com/goldilocks-cookware-review/
@@PrudentReviews Nice! Thanks for the thorough review. I've been eyeing the 1.5 & 3 qt. Goldilocks saucepans to replace some 30-year old wedding gift Calphalon that's way past its useful life. I'm gonna pull the trigger on Goldilocks based on your review, despite the short, thin handles which is not that big of a deal breaker for me. Carla Lalli-Music is a fan (and compensated sponsor, no doubt)
And then there is the inexpensive Tramontina tri-Ply. It's been around for a very long time.
Costco has a set for $199.99 right now. Why does Tramontina have a cancer warning?
@@user-ks3qr5fk6m i believe all or most SS has a cancer warning for prop 65 or 64, whatever number it is because they say SS can leach nickel and cobalt into foods..
@@user-ks3qr5fk6m everything has a prop 65 warning. It means nothing.
@@HH-le1vi I’m sure it does. All-Clad doesn’t have it.
@@user-ks3qr5fk6m it doesn't. They use different steel alloys. Thusly why one has one and the other doesn't.
Most of the one-star reviews on Amazon for Misen pans cite discoloration. The rest cite warpoing on induction. Has anyone else had this problem?
All-Clad at Costco for a 12 piece set is $550 right now which is much cheaper than the Made In and Misen sets.
Their 3 pan set is even cheaper but only available at some of their bigger warehouses.
Do any of them have Nickel free stainless? Or should I just go with carbon steel?
??? You gotta get out of the I internet fake news hole. Stainless steel cookware is probably the most inert material possible. There’s nothing harmful about the nickel. What makes you think carbon steel is safer? Matfer Carbon Steel Pans (America’s Test Kitchen’s top pick) was just recalled in France because they were leaching above acceptable limits of heavy metals.
There are other options, too. Carbon steel pans like Matfer, DeBuyer, etc. have risen greatly in price, making brands like BK a great deal with the same performance.
I seen good reviews for Misen and bad reviews for heritage brands.
Owning a complete set of high quality cookware is one of my dreams, but my poor ass is here looking at tramontina
No Cuisinart MCP?
Non-stick Made In is currently about 3 times more than All-Clad
Yeah but where are they made. I’d buy used good cookware before Chinese stuff. You haven’t checked Made In prices. They are not cheap.
I appreciate these suggestions. However, I wish you’d mention compatibility with induction heating.
All of the brands I mentioned are compatible with induction
If it contains ferrous materials, it's induction compatible. Very simple.
Which do you prefer... Made in or Heritage... and why? I'm shopping for a new set and wasn't sure which to go with?
Between those two, I prefer Made In because the handles are flatter which makes them easier to tilt/pour when wearing an oven mitt. Heritage steel handles are more rounded so they can rotate in your hand.
What is the best budget friendly stainless steel cookware set
Misen and Tramontina Tri-Ply are two good options. There are several others. Look for “fully-clad” construction rather than “bonded base”. You can learn about the differences here: prudentreviews.com/best-cookware-materials/
Thank you.
What do you think of IKEA cookware?
I haven’t tried it yet but it’s on the list
Cheaply made in china. I'd avoid it due to risks of metal leeching. Due process in manufacturing are important. Everything has a price, if you refuse to pay that you suffer the consequences
We have purchased a couple pieces and will not do it again. CHEAP both price and quality. YMMV...
@@antlerman7644 Sounds like a load of BS, IKEA would know better than to sell pans made of questionable alloys nd they pans(SENSUELL Tri-ply), Knives(365+) are of excellent quality.
The 15 piece All-Clad 5-ply copper clad set is $2,299.95. The 14 piece Legend 5-ply copper clad set is $688 after the current 20% discount with free shipping. It would be great if you could do a comparison.
Working on it
I have All Clad and a set of Cuisinart Multi Clad Pro Triple Ply that is made in China and the Cuisinart finish is far superior, I like them better, and the prices for a set or piece is only about 25% of All Clad
Costco kirkland have a 5 ply set that's basically all clad's d5 set. It's dirt cheap and is basically identical.
I've heard this but I can't find it online. Is it an in store thing only?
@@justyouraveragebeautyaddic9675 I have not seen it online too, so I guess that's a possibility. It's also not always available in store
@@justyouraveragebeautyaddic9675 Costco no longer sells them.
Unless you're talking about a different set, it's actually more like Copper Core. However, it's oven-safe only to 400˚F, so it's not identical in a somewhat bad way, depending on how you cook. I sometimes need to put my pan into a 475˚F oven, so Kirkland is no bueno for me.
@@jc3drums916 All clad's d5 set is cooper core tho. And as though it's rated for lower temps, many people have used it at higher temps and it still held as fine. Maybe que material quality is not as good, but to be honest, I don't put anything in the oven at over 450°F
I’ve been cooking with made in 4years Love them😊
Cast iron can be alternative
or not
Cast iron and stainless steel are two very different types of cookware. More info here: Stainless Steel vs. Cast Iron Cookware: 7 Key Differences & When to Use Each
ua-cam.com/video/RCJ2BHDNxik/v-deo.html
They cook quite differently. Some use cast iron for steaks but I use it more like a slow cooker since it retains an even heat.
Yo forget to speak about Tramontina y Ikea sensuelle pans
I own All-Clad. While the performance and durability are great, that handle design is seriously unfortunate. It is extremely uncomfortable. I might give Made-In or Heritage a try at some point. Isn’t there are also a high quality French brand?
Made In is exactly the same price as All-Clad I can get the same size pans for the same price. So not cheaper at all.
im a poor @#$% and even I think all clad is worth the $$
Check thrift stores. Most people are too lazy to cook, so they’ll give away grandmas great old pans

Not supporting Chinese-made products. Tx for the info!
Your supporting Chinese made products everyday, about 1,000 times per day. I get the sentiment. But also, get off your high-horse. Just make your purchase. No one needs to hear about you’re moral code.
Only thing is the amount of cooking surface
Before he starts MADE IN
Edit: yes and excellent review!
Even these are soooo expensive
It saddens me not to find IKEAs £39 pan here. It's great.
I have very old faberware and wagner cast iron. They are cheap and just plain work. Most chefs just find something they like in their hands and take care of it. Dont be fooled. I know restaurants that use big aluminum pots. Sorry. You dont have to spend much.
One thing, the feel in your hand is important, so buy where you can handle it. Used is cheap, and good stuff.
With respect, that's a silly title. I am certain that All Clad's sales managers spend little time plotting how to prevent us from learning about Brand XYZ.
Why does it have to be so expensive to cook a freaking non toxic meal
I use nothing but All=Clad. LIke the majority of All-Clad users I don't care about cheaper alternatives. There's a reason they're cheaper.
from your comparison, looks like competitors are on par with all clad, sometimes little better sometimes little worse. but for me, i don't value brand reputation, especially for a freakin pan. definitely won't pay more for that. i like the made in stuff, prob buy that instead. even if all clad might be cheaper on sale.
These are all expensive as hell
I bought a 10 piece set of All-Clad about one year ago...biggest waste of money I've ever made, for anything in my kitchen. Shop around, pay for more than a name...you won't regret it.
Why though
@@bettercallsaul8065 my question exactly
Really good review! I have been a Misen customer since the first Kick Starter campaign. I hate to support China, but the savings are too good to pass up. (Kinda like shopping at Wal-Mart).
So here is something I can't find on UA-cam .....Nobody can show All Clad Honoring their Warranty on products and replacing items esp Nonstick Pans/Pots.... Calphalon videos can be found easily of customers simply opening a claim sending in photos and shipping old item in and getting new item in mail or being told to keep the old item (toss in trash). Can you look into this because All Clad is far from Cheap Purchase but Odd they will not honor nonstick warranty replacement like competitors do
"ALL-CLAD" IS A BRAND? I WOULDVE THOUGHT A FEATURE
Yes it is a brand. The terms “clad”, “multi clad” and “fully clad” are terms used to describe stainless steel pans made of bonded layers and All-Clad is a brand that makes that type of cookware (they were the first to do it).
My sister inlaw has All Clad. As a serious cook I find the cookware to be too heavy and to have very poor handle designs. The handles are too thin and slick to grip and every single one has to have a seriously sharp pouring angle so that it is almost impossible to empty the pot without upending them. They are dangerous to cook with. Give me a $10 pot from India any time!
I agree about the handles being too thin - I have to hold them at the very end, which makes the pans heavier - but I don't know about them being too slick. I put my thumb in the groove on top, and I've never had a pan slip. Some newer pieces (D3 Everyday) have a new handle design that's more comfortable. Pouring angles are also better on newer pieces with flared rims I suppose, but the difference isn't that huge, as pouring angle is mostly a function of the height difference between the pot's wall and the liquid inside. I think the problem you have with pouring is that the amount of food you're making would be better suited to a slightly smaller pot, but your SiL doesn't have that ideal size for you to use, and not any flaw in All-Clad's design.
I prefer to buy Made In USA.
Me too. But since we are here communicating on digital devices, clearly we make exceptions from time to time 😜
Ok
Made in USA, Made in Germany, or Made in Italy only for me.
