A Watched Pot Never Boils, So Watch This Pot
I thought I would love this pan. And I do love the multi-clad. And the handle's fine, along with the rivets.
The problem is the lid.
For some reason, the Pro and stainless Chef's lines use a lid that just sits on top of the pot rather than utilize the lid they provide for the non-stick Chef's line, one that has an underrim on it and is seated within the pan (like the Calphalon lids; and, like the Calphalon lids, the non-stick Chef's line lids are glass). The end result is t...

All great but the handle
This pan looks great and performs great. It's less heavy duty than All-Clad, but unless the kitchen is in the middle of a stone quarry it is plenty, plenty heavy duty enough. And it looks great, too. In addition to the price advantage, another lead over All-Clad is the turned lip. One disadvantage, though, is the handle. It's not a light pot, and when it is full it is simply heavy. The handle is not broad/thick/shaped enough, and there is no helper handle on the opposite side. It works, c...

Excellent Stainless Steel Pan
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I bought this pan because of the similarities to the Calphalon Tri-Ply and the All Clad Stainless I own, but at a lower price. When it arrived today, I was delighted! Every bit as high quality as the much more expensive pans I own.
The interior and the exterior around the lip is mirror polished so very easy to clean. The bottom half and the base of the pan is slightly brushed s...

great value for money
I have two or three pots and pans from this line and all work superbly and at a lower price than competing multiply equipment. I think it's important that the central ply of aluminum go all the way up the sides as opposed to being just in the bottom, but I have no scientific evidence for this. Note that these pans have a fairly high heat capacity; this means that they retain heat for a while after being removed from the heat source. On the stove top, the handles stay cool though.

Super multiclad cookware at a reasonable price.
This cookware overall is an excellent choice for the price. It heats uniformally cleans up well and looks great, I have them hanging on a pot rack in the kitchen. The handles do well on heat they don't get to hot unless they have been on the burner for an extended period of time but I've used more expensive pots that heat up much faster. If I have a complaint it's that they haven't expanded the line at all. I'd like to see more choices in the multiclad like like they have in their other sets...

Go tri-ply for everything
When my 20 year-old blue enamel Chantal pots bit the dust, I decided to go for an upgrade. I read lots of reviews and decided against non-stick because of chemicals, the fact that they scratch, not oven safe and with four kids, it's not allowed past the door unless you can put it in the dishwasher!
I owned a pot and a frying pan that are dark anodized aluminum. So I dug them out and cooked on them for a while. I remembered why I didn't like them: heavy, food sticks, hard to see, hard...

Better than All-Clad, and here's why
I'm a self-confessed cookware junkie and professionally-trained home chef. I have at least 60 or so different pots and pans, and actually use most of them regularly. I've been biased toward Calphalon Anodized (not non-stick) for nearly 20 years, and still love the line. I got into Calphalon Tri-Ply, which is superb, but thought I'd try this pan to see if the value was there.
IMHO, Calphalon Tri-Ply, Cuisinart Multiclad, and KitchenAid Clad all have far surpassed All-Clad for variou...

excellent value for price
This sauce pan does the job, has even heat distribution, and is easy to clean. The price here on Amazon, especially when there is a special price, is quite good. Much less than the equivalent all-clad. It's moderately heavy.

Decent Pot, Lame Warranty
This is a sturdy pot with, as a previous reviewer mentioned, a useless lid. Cuisinart claims that the pot is so super-conductive that your stove need never be set higher than medium; I'm used to aluminum, and this pot takes longer to boil on "high". The anti-drip lip seemed promising, but it takes skill, and of course doesn't work when you consciously try to avoid dribbling. Most of the pot is brushed steel, so scratching is less of problem, although stainless steel needs care so it doesn't appe...

Fantastic!
I'm really enjoying using this pot. I just switched from my old baked-on enamels and shopped carefully before deciding on 3-ply stainless steel. This pot has all the features of the more expensive multi-clad brand but for a much more reasonable price. The handle does stay cool, by the way. It's easy to clean and a very useful size. I did buy a couple of stainless steel pans with the 3-ply bottoms only (not totally 3-ply all the way around). They are not the same quality at all, and food burns on...
