Cookware Brands Reviews

This rack, made in Indonesia, appears to be completely made of solid stainless steel - unlike others that use chrome plated or aluminum hooks or chains. It has a center grid. All mounting hardware is included, even ceiling screw hooks. It uses rigid stainless strips to connect to the ceiling, not chains.

Make sure your ceiling joists are 16" apart or you're mounting this in parallel along a single joist. My joists are 18" apart unfortunately, and the Amazon description fails to mention this requirement.

One last note, Cuisinart customer service offered no help whatsoever with my installation problem. Good product, poor support.

When I purchased my first piece of Emerilware I had no idea what fabulous cookware it was. It cooks evenly and washes easily (it's a dream!) The handles are thick and sturdy, which is important so that you can get a good grip on the pot when lifting a full, hot pot. I found this exclusive to Emerilware. This All In One pan is one of the BEST pieces that I have bought so far. The design of the pan is set up so that you can cook one box of something like Rice-A-Roni as easily as you can cook two boxes. (Slanted sides on the pan) My old pan wouldn't quite hold a double batch of anything and it was always a mess. I use pan this for potatoes, chinese food, rice mix, pasta dishes, stroganoff, meatballs in sauce and I have even sauteed chicken in this pan. I think the size is perfect for family meals or for people who like to cook a double batch of food. I have also used it for very small dishes and it worked great there too!

I bought this pan over a year ago because I was making a dish that required the pan cook on the stovetop and then be placed in the oven. I happily doled out the [money] for this pan trusting that the ALL CLAD name (you get what you pay for) would deliver a substantial pan for the bang. The All-In-One is worth its weight (it's actually a little heavy) in gold. All Clad Metalcrafters are one of America's premier cookware makers and again, they produced a high quality product.

It truly is an all-in-on pan. I am quite pleased with my pan using it often for the easiest of cooking (breakfast type meals) to the tedious of recipes. It's perfect for paella type dishes because it distributes heat evenly thanks to the aluminum core.

I always hand wash my pan (you can put it in the dishwasher but it's not recommended as you'll destroy/dull the exterior of the pan) and I have found that use after use, it's still cleans easy. No scratches have formed and even the careless of dishwashers have washed this pan up without problem.

The Cuisinart Multiclad line (of which I have 2) have excellent cooking qualities, and are the equal of the All-Clad lines (I have several) in that regard. But the handles stink: they are uncomfortable to hold (when lifting the pot), and it is hard to get a secure grip on them, which makes pouring (or transporting) hot liquids a riskier business than it should be. And they can't hold a candle to the All-Clad SS line in the looks dept. If they were priced the same as the All-Clad, they would be a non-starter. HOWEVER, at 1/2 to 1/3 the price of the All-Clad they are a great buy which can't easily be matched, and if you can cope with the handles you'll be very happy.

Like many others I researched and comparison shopped. I went to All Clad first because of reputation and I could afford it. But did I really want to pay that much? Looks, fit, feel, heft, these are all quite subjective depending on one's taste, pocketbook, strength, and size. Unlike other comments, I prefer the handle shape of Cuisinart's Multiply line over All Clad. All Clad's scooped handle is tippy in my smaller hand and the upturned edges press uncomfortably into my palm. The Cuisinart's fit better, feel better, and are more stable in my hand. Mirror finish inside and satin outside, or the other way around (All Clad), again a personal taste issue. The Multiply's satin finish offset by the mirror finish is more distinctive to my eyes. When I looked at them side by side, I preferred the rivets on the Cuisinart's than the All Clad, they looked beefier but are they as strong? My biggest question was, are the Cuisinart's going to last like All Clad and unfortunately no one knows. All of these pots cook great if used properly so it came down to cost, comfort, and looks and for me, that meant Cuisinart. I have gotten so many more pots and pans for the money and if they last half as long, they're half as expensive so if I have to buy them again, I figure I'm still even! Besides, half of the fun is in the shopping, once you have them, enjoy your choice and don't look back.

Cooks as well as All-Clad, is better-looking, cleans like a dream, and costs less. Is slightly lighter, which I regard as a plus. Price is a consideration for me, but even if it weren't, this is still the brand I'd buy. (BTW, you can grip anything with a silicone hotpad.)
