Like Eileen from Boston, I was surprised to see this set at this price. Just the pot costs nearly as much on its own, but this set has a ladle, 2 half-quart ramekins, and a great cookbook (printed in Canada). And the pot is not thin. The day this set arrived, I immediately made a recipe from the included book, chicken/orzo/tomato/zucchini stew, using canned broth and tomatoes, and it was great. The pot is 6qt, right-weight, made in the USA, and while the lid's made in China (every lid/non-bonded item is, per their website, so the ladle & ramekins are from China), it fits perfectly on the pot. I've had that same good lid-fit experience with their braiser pan. I highly recommend reading the Care & Use page on All-Clad's web site, as it covers preheating, using low to medium heat, etc. Also see All-Clad's site for a FAQs page which answers 23 questions. For even more details, see their Cookware Materials page. These pages are all under the Customer Service navigation menu at the upper right of All-Clad's homepage. Lately I've been trying to Buy USA more often and I feel this set is worth it.

I hesitated to buy this set because I couldn't believe the price -- $169.95 for the All-Clad stainless 6-qt stockpot, plus two All-Clad ramekins, a ladle and cookbook. I thought perhaps it was a thinner version (as is the case with the 12" covered non-stick fry pan I purchased from Williams-Sonoma recently for $99 -- but love nonetheless because it heats and cooks just as well as my thicker 10" fry pan but is lighter). But this is the real deal! I am so pleased with this purchase. I haven't used the stockpot yet but it is identical to the one in my local Williams-Sonoma store. I love the ramekins. When I get home from work, I have used them to heat up left-overs on my gas stove -- healthier than using the microwave -- and then I eat right from them. They heat the food beautifully and clean up easily, leaving fewer dishes to wash. They are heavy and thick and aesthetically pleasing to look at and hold. The box said that the stockpot was made in the USA (PA) but the stockpot lid, ramekins and ladle are made in China. I've read some reviews complaining about All-Clad items made in China, but I compared the stockpot lid to the lids I already have and noticed no difference in the quality. Same for the ladle (I already had two All-Clad ladles and now I have three sizes -- all of the same excellent quality). This ladle appears to be 4 oz, smaller than the 6-oz ladle that came with the 4-qt soup pot I have (which sells for $134.95). This Simply Soup set is quite a vlaue for the money. I've wanted the 6-qt stockpot but couldn't bring myself to spend the $230 (current price at Williams-Sonoma and elsewhere). For $60 less, I get the stockpot and lid, the ladle, the ramekins, and cookbook. I decided to write this review so others wouldn't wonder about the quality and hesitate to purchase it as I initially did. I purchased the set from Metrokitchen via amazon and it was delivered quickly and shipping was free.
