re: All-Clad or Made In for cookware? $750 to spend on a set.

Got ya, so Demeyere is better or just heats up quicker? Sometimes an easily heated cookware is worse due to being too sensitive and leads to burning.

If you ask me, it is a bit more responsive (probably splitting hairs), cooks extraordinarily evenly, and as I mentioned the welded handle having no rivets on the inside of the pans is a big plus for me. I also like the French Skillet shape better over the regular All-Clad fry pan shape.

The Demeyere pans I have are 5 ply, so even if it comes to temp a tad quicker, its not prone to scorching, burning, uneven cooking, etc. I'm gonna add that All-Clad D3 is also quite respoinsive and you really can't go wrong with it either. Cooks Ill consistently ranks the All-Clad D3 its top choice for SS skillet every year.

I'm gonna add that I don't love the idea of buying sets as inevitably there are some pieces that you don't get a lot of value out of. I have mix/match stuff, but we don't keep ours out on racks, its all in cabinets.

All-Clad has something called All-Clad VIP factory event where you can get "seconds" for less - sometimes it is simply damaged packaging, sometimes its the actual pan, but it tells you in the description. Search it up and sign up and its a good way to accumulate pieces for less if you are so inclined.

Amazon has a Demeyere store where they offer the Industry 5 line, which IMHO is the best value prop for that brand.

How many are you typically cooking for?
