Dont spend good money on a bunch of non stick pans you will toss one day. Buy a decent non stick skillet or two knowing you will get a year or two out of them and get stainless for the rest.

I have an older version of this that I got on a dented box deal from Slickdeals. So I don't have all of these pieces but I've been using them for a couple years now and I absolutely love them. I've been a Calphalon to die-hard fan for over a decade but once I use these I haven't gone back.

I never put them in the dishwasher though. I always hand wash and dry

I bought these, and they are amazing. Medium-high heat worked great, no sticking. searching for a big pot and other pieces that's how good it was.

The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear.

First, yes, this is a low price.

But second, it makes me sad that All-Clad sells these anodized aluminum sets. I would not recommend them to anybody.

Ergonomically, yes, they are All-Clad pans. But All-Clad's reputation and popularity was built on multi-ply stainless steel cookware. These anodized aluminum pots and pans do not perform the same, nor are they the best non-stick options.

All-Clad's reputation and many years of consistent top ratings are for their stainless-clad pots and pans -- not for their nonstick pans.
Their nonstick pans are a budget alternative. They are coated with PTFEs, and like other PFTE-coated pans, they will wear out over time, and must be disposed of if scratched, and that's not covered by your warranty. And like other PFTE-coated pots and pans, if you heat them past 400 degrees, they release invisible cancer-causing toxins into the air that you breath. Not trying to get on a soapbox, but you should know this before buying.

Anybody could use a nonstick skillet for gently frying an egg or a piece of fish without sticking, but it makes no sense to me -- and in fact can be dangerous -- to have a whole set of cookware coated with PTFEs.

Thats why I always carve the name of the CEO in my pans before making warranty request photos. Thats definitely not normal wear and tear.

Can you return to Costco if the coating has usual wear. I wonder if I should keep the box. The set is very, very heavy

You can return to Costco at any time for any reason.

Better to get at Costco with Lifetime Returns. The Lifetime Limited Warranty may not cover all issues on the pans
