All-Clad Killer? Tramontina Tri-Ply Fully Clad Unboxing and First Impressions - Cooking With Denney
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 чер 2024
- I've been wanting a full All-Clad cookware set for years but the price is a hard pill to swallow. What I've done is look for the same great features that All-Clad has and find sets that hit the same marks. That's where Tramontina comes in. $1,000vs $200? It was worth a try and I'm very impressed. I think I found an All-Clad alternative that'll cook almost as great. Check it out!

Tramontina is very traditional manufacturer in Brazil. Known for making very good quality kitchen implements. It’s been making good stuff since 1911, so it’s a 110 years of tradition. You made a great choice… I’m pretty sure you will not regret. It’s gonna last you a lifetime and Tramontina has a very reliable warrant policy. Enjoy your cookware set!!!
Thank you! Absolutely love this set
i trust brazilian stainless too. seems beter quality than recycled chinese
Your super in-depth review helped me choose Tramontina and not look back!
Have had Tramontina tri ply for almost 20 years, still look and work great. Very slight pitting on edge, but hasn't changed since 1st year. The best for the price.
Gracias por el vídeo, me ayudó mucho a decidirme por Tramontina. Inicialmente había comprado Cuisinart MCP-12N MultiClad Pro pero me rechazaron el pago en varias ocasiones y por fortuna encontré éste vídeo y decidí comprar en Costco y hoy me entregaron mi Batería Tramontina y quedé completamente satisfecho con mi compra. Las ollas son hermosas y están muy bien fabricadas. Saludos desde la Ciudad de México (La Capital Azteca).
Excellent review. Thank you!
Awesome review. Thanks. I ended up buying a D3 10" All-Clad frying pan. I liked it but still wanted to try the Tramontina. I looked around at other Tramontina sets and went ahead and bought the Sam's Club version that is a slightly different set from the Cosco version. Had a few pieces that I would use more in the Sam's Club set. I am so satisfied that I sold my All-Clad frying pan. Very well built! IMHO, they are every bit as good as the All-Clad. Very happy. 🙂
So happy you agree. The All-Clad is really top tier but there's a premium that comes with that. The value on these tri-ply sets is absolutely insane compared to the All-Clads. Non-stop usage and they are still in tip top shape. Even the lids I use on my T-Fal non-sticks as well.
I ordered this very set last week. It's hard to find the Brazil made set but I finally did. Looking forward to getting it! Thanks for the video.
I appreciate this comment ty so much!
I'm Brazilian (Tramontina is a Brazilian brand) and I was considering to buy this Grano set but considering all terms I prefered to buy a mix of Grano and professional line. The professional line has 25 years of warranty and Grano just 90 days. Grano is made with 2.6mm layer and Professional have 4.8mm in the botton (for fry pan the bottom is the most import part, not the side). The souce pot I prefer to buy the Grano line because here is important all-clad to heat equally the pot. For the stock pot I'll return to the professional line again, because for this use the bottom is the important part of the pot. However, the Grano line is a great product.
How did you find this out AND WHERE DO YOU EVEN BUY THE PROFESSIONAL set?
This brand got the top nod from Consumer Reports too. Top performing and economical. I usually hate the non-stick pans I buy at Costco.
GOOD LUCK WITH THESE THEY WILL LAST YOU A LIFE TIME IF U TAKE CARE OF THEM THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU. just learn to cook with stainless steel which is different to a nonstick. the basic thing is just heat the pan up and have an appropriate amount of oil before putting in your food, then when cooking dont mess with it too much.
Thanks for the video, im looking at buying the 8 piece and adding the salte pan with it.
I've used the pots a number of times since the video and I love it. The quality is great and had absolutely zero issues. You're going to be pleased :)
I bought mine at Costco. Love it!! Clean easily. I love the quart markings in the inside. With proper heating I’ve even made over easy eggs with minimal fat without sticking. Dishwasher detergent with discolor any stainless finish. I’d you see if any of the lids fit your all clad fry pans.
That's awesome! I love this set too. And unfortunately the lids didn't fit any of my all-clad. Both in diameter and lip of each lid didn't match the lip of the pans. So no good seal even if it was right diameter. Maybe if the Tramontina pans came with lids, it might be different but with this set? No luck on the all-clads
The big difference when you go with this brand is the material. It’s oven safe up to 500° which makes them oven safe but the more expensive brands tend to be oven/boiler safe up to 800 or 900°. This allows you to transfer to the broiler. For transparency, cookware needs to be oven safe up to 600° minimum for it to be considered safe to transfer to the broiler. Tbh you can probably still use these in the boiler. It’s just not recommended. In my opinion, most people can buy this brand for stove/oven use and a cast-iron skillet for the broiler.
Bar Keeper's friend will remove the stuck on grease, easier than SOS pads and without the rusty diminishing SOS pad. It works mechanically with fine grains of porcelain for scrubbing, and also it works chemically with citric acid for dissolving. An SOS pad only offers mechanical cleaning, and the steel wool necessarily breaks down during that process, giving you less material to work with as you scrub. Bar Keeper's friend is the way to go. The only caveat is that the citric acid is rough on hands, so you might need to use hand lotion later. It's rough on hands but it's not toxic.
Tramontina now has two different handle options for the tri-ply pans!
So excited for you!
Don't get rid of those two frying pans. They are nicer quality than the 2 cheaper All Clad you just bought. Sell the All Clad pans and wait to buy the much nicer D3 All Clad or better. Also the saute pan and frying pans have different uses. They aren't duplicates. That new set is also a America's Test Kitchen best buy. Look for the show they rate cookware sets. They said it punched in above its weight and came in just below the All Clad set. So what you have in your hands is more excellent than you know. Hope you enjoy them immensely! Let us know what you think.
Thanks so much! I definitely love them, it's been 2 years now and they are holding up perfectly. I really need to do a follow up. I have accumulated a few more pieces and want to review them :)
I get that all-clad can be expensive but what do you expect from something that lasts a lifetime? Plus cooking with all-clad changes your whole cooking experience, no joke. Nothing will ever beat it and before I moved back to Europe I bought myself the 14 pieces all clad d3 plus 3 additional pans and spent around $2000 but it was worth every penny.
I got the 12 piece set for my bday earlier this month 😭i was just as excited and gave away alllllll my nonsticks the next day lol i been cooking on it for about 3 weeks now and i will not go back lol this is a cast iron stainless steel house now! Love that i didnt have to sell my arms and legs for all clad😂 Can you do a video update on how the sets worked for you?
Congrats! I still have two nonsticks just for those low heat foods like lightly toasting bread or cooking an egg. But I'm exclusively stainless and cast iron (plus a carbon pan I rarely use). Thanks for planting the seed on making an update. I love these pots still. Only thing I'd replace them with would be All-Clads but who wouldn't?!
Do any of the pot lids fit on the skillet pans? I'm pretty sure that works for All-Clad but I'm not sure about Tramontina
Unfortunately not, the lips on the end of the lids don't fit the curve of the pans :(
Can I use steel wool on these? Thanks!
What is the first thing you do before the first time use
My first Tramontina pan was a 12 inch made in Brazil tri ply frying pan. It was a Wakmart return and I got it for $9.00. I also have All Clad, Cuisenart ans several other premium brands and literally can tell no difference in the way they cook.
Did you do a follow up review on this set? Just wondering if you still like them and would still recommend? Thanks
I haven't made a follow up but I definitely should. I'll get around to it eventually! I absolutely love it. One of my biggest concerns were based off the reviews when I purchased it and it was pitting between the steel and aluminum mostly on the very edges of the pots where the lid sits. I can honestly say they've been rock solid with no damage or pitting. No staining and the handles are rock solid. I still love these suckers and since I've posted this, I've seen them listed and re-listed on Costco. If they aren't up now, I'd wait and check again occasionally.
I’m living on Honduras Central America how can I buy online I been seeking here but nobody sells this types, please help me 😢 I need the set of the video
How they hold up? only long term reviews I've found talk about the Alu layer pitting from corners of the pots, you've mentioned this warring as well quickly, I'm seeing if to go Le Creuset set or save like x3 times by going Tramontina Grano route
I do plan on doing a follow-up review but I will say I still absolutely love these pans.
Again, the non-fully clad items I can't speak to but these full tri-ply is amazing for this price range. I took a look at the lips just now and there is no pitting. There are some micro divets but those are from when I tap the edge with my metal spatula or what not. I'll make sure to capture that on my follow-up video. I do hand wash these but there's been plenty of times they've sat in the sink with water (although not fully submerged) and surprisingly no signs yet. Definitely might come with more time but I've put these guys through it. Simmering down glazes, full pots of soups, day long simmers of ragu, etc.
@@denneychoi Thank you, Denney, sidenote - yeah Tramontina Grano is also fully clad and it seems like just a EU rebranding for tri-ply.
I was cracking up watching how excited you were getting over some cookware 😂. Many just won't understand. Thanks for your review, it was very informative. I had fun while learning a lot actually. As a single bachelor, this video was incredibly helpful. The length of the video was 100% justified. I was just at Costco and saw this set. Looks like I'll be picking it up tomorrow! I did have one question. I noticed that on Costco's website it says "Induction" under features. These will work on electric coil stoves with no issues right?
I appreciate it! I definitely geeked out on these. I also saw they have them online again and was happy to see. You won't regret these at all. Still love them and have not had the itch to "upgrade" to All Clad when I know these work beyond well.
And those electric coil stoves that get hot and red? You shouldn't have an issue with any type of pots and pans on that type of burner. Induction is usually those glass tops. Not all pots and pans work on them.
@@denneychoiah that's great to hear! I went down the rabbit hole and started reading up on all clad and made in but just a bit too rich for my blood right now. And yes, those are exactly the electric coil burners I have! Figured it would be fine but wanted to make sure. Thanks man!
Does that handle get hot? Does that handle get hot while cooking? Can you tell me the height for the 8 quart stockpot
Hey! Not at all. The pots, both handles I've had full boil water and they didn't get hot. The smaller pots have those bigger robust skillet style handles and those things didn't get hot what so ever
Ah following up! I just made mash potatoes and boiled water and damn that handle got hot. There are two big pots with the two side handles. The big one is what I was referring to (gets warm but not scorching hot) because I just use the shorter pan and damn that thing was hot! Make sure to use mits or a towel whenever you have a pot with short handles though.
Thank you Denney
Why don't the stainless steel lids have vent holes???
Hmm I haven't even thought of that. I did some research and looks like it's more of a glass lid thing to have vents due to their weight. These stainless lids fortunately haven't given me any issues. Rice and pasta has been treating me well :)
Would you recommend and did you keep your set
A big yes! I had all clad pans at the time so I sold the tramontina pans fairly quickly but I still have all the pots and they work great. In great condition and still cook with them. I have zero interest in replacing those pots and just super happy with them :)
Hello, I love your video! My birthday is in about two weeks, and I want this set. Is there a way you can make an update video? Thank you so much.
Love Tramontina! Have a few pieces. For copper clad I found Legend brand is excellent and a good price for material, 3qt weighs 8lbs!
Hey man get some bar keepers friend ss cleaning powder..took my ss cookware back to new
Mi pregunta el mango se calienta??
el mango largo de las ollas pequeñas no, pero los mangos más pequeños pueden calentarse cuando el calor está alto
Hey! Any updates on your review a year later? I noticed the comment about the pitting on the edges, has that happened to you? What are the health effects if that does happen?
Yes I still use it. I actually haven't purchased another pot or pan since. I did have a lot of pans so I use my teflon (T-Fal) and All Clads for those but all pots I need are these Tramontinas. No pitting or rust or anything. Handles are still solid. No gouging of the pots at all. I've left them in the sink full of water and the edges are as good as they were.To be fair I dont put them in the dish washer so that might be a factor but overall super happy and have no plans to replace them. I'm really happy about them. If anything maybe a giant stock pot is in my future but no real need now. :)
I don't know if you know Demeyere, I ask because you showed a pan from this brand as an example of a welded bottom, Demeyere is just the best stainless steel pan on the market, and there is a reason why the base is that way. It's probably impossible to put a flaw in a Demeyere pan.
Olá Alexssandro! I actually never heard of the brand, I simply looked up unbranded welded bottom pan on google. Dang, I got unlucky picking that photo but being in the US I've heard of All-Clad my whole life but will keep an eye on Demeyere from now on. Valeu!
Price of the set??
$199 at Costco which is a steal for true tri-ply stainless cookware. Costco doesn't have it listed right this moment but they may put it back up. I think ebay and Amazon has variations of this set though
Where did you purchase these?
I bought these from Costco and really happy with them. I know they mess around with the listing. Sometimes take them offline but they re-list them often. I've seen them in the warehouse too occasionally
I just ordered my set, it will be delivered soon. Are you still happy with your set?
Still love it. In great shape too. I recommend this still highly. What I paid vs what I got? Very happy
Meu Deus e meu sonho ter essas panela
The Melting point of Aluminum Cooper and Stainless steel minimum is like 1100 Degrees so oven safe to 450-500-550-600 is definitely within safe range of any 3 Ply or 5ply Cookware

DENNY CHOI,Hello,I just discovered COSTCO,has their own KIRKLAND SET OT PANS WHICH ARE A GREAT KNOCKOFF OF ALL CLAD. 5 PLY, FOR SOME $ 230.everyone has raved at the quality,without going broke, made in CHINA,I will have one delivered to my home rather than wrestling it home, CHERIO,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Eu quero pra mem
No such thing as a all clad killer. It’s all about compromise. And sometimes you gotta compromise. Get the good pans for certain things and save the money on others.
Any updates?
Yes I still use it. I actually haven't purchased another pot or pan since. I did have a lot of pans so I use my teflon (T-Fal) and All Clads for those but all pots I need are these Tramontinas. No pitting or rust or anything. Handles are still solid. No gouging of the pots at all.

I'm really happy about them. If anything maybe a giant stock pot is in my future but no real need now. :)
@@denneychoi Awesome, thanks for the update! I've been window shopping and so far these and Made In Cookware are at the top of my list. Ultimately anything will be a step-up from my Rachel Ray non-stick pans that are 4 years old. These poor things need to retire
@@Issvor if interested in the tramontinas, I’d just keep an eye on Costco. I’m not sure if this exact set is available now but they come on and off costco website. Heard about Made In and quick search seems positive. I have no hands on experience but till then this set I’m super happy with and it really affordable
What ? ...
What?! ...
Brasil Sil Sil Sil
Its nor made in America,that is a deal killer
Yeah definitely, Tramontina is a Brazilian brand. What US brands are in your kitchen? Other than All-Clad, I’m drawing a blank for cookware. I’d love to look into them
What? You can't find a bigger table?
They're pots and pans! Unbox them on your stove!! What's your problem??
@@adelinenicholas7075 You're doing a video, trying to display a new set of cookware. Un box on table so we can see product, or, if you must put on 30" stove. open box on the floor. I want to see the pots and pans!
Maybe his table was unavailable
thanks but I thank I will stay with my cast iron.
How can they get to kenya East africa
I could not hear you. I had my colume high
Yeah it’s not a Clad killer
I love the set, it looks as good as the day I got it but ive still I’ve been slowly accumulating more all clad still 😂 latest all clad find was a measuring cup and spoon set at marshals for $29.99
You woffle on to much mate
