What the testers found
Reviewed's Best Traditional Nonstick Cookware Set: "It aced our tests," its tight lids made "some of the best rice in the testing group," and "This set creates a hard sear most nonstick pans can’t touch." Unlike the HexClad, its coating isn't metal-utensil safe. The pans are heavy and "don’t nest very well." Reviewed now links All-Clad's newer HA1 Expert set; this is the HA1 set it tested.
