All-Clad was founded in 1967 by metallurgist John Ulam. Ulam’s vision brought forth a line of stainless steel cookware that blended innovative technology with traditional craftsmanship. All-Clad cookware is crafted through a meticulous process that involves bonding multiple layers of metals to harness the distinct properties of each. This allows for even heat distribution, and therefore, even cooking.
Growing up, I helped my mom in the kitchen. . .a lot. I loved being her helper and as I got older I developed a deep passion for cooking and baking. As my mom started to get more into cooking as well, she decided to invest in All-Clad pans. We had a few small All-Clad saucepans already and loved them. One All-Clad saucepan we’ve had for over ten years still works like new!
All the All-Clad pans we’ve purchased have yet to disappoint us. They make cooking a joy and they clean up beautifully. One of our stainless steel All-clad pans was starting to get scratched up a bit. With a little bit of Bars powder and elbow grease, it came out looking brand new.
Furthermore, All-Clad warrants that their products “will be free from defects in material, construction, or workmanship for the lifetime of the product under normal use and following care instructions.” All-Clad will repair or replace the All-Clad cookware product in the country of purchase that is covered by this warranty without charge. The quality of these pans, combined with the warranty on them, gives All-Clad a definite spot on our list of best lifetime warranties.
