Amazon.com Review
Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal-black, hard-anodized aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the hard-anodized aluminum exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. This nine-piece set of stylish LTD cookware consists of a 10-inch fry pan, a 1-quart saucepan with lid, a 2-quart saucepan, a 3-quart casserole with lid, and a 3-quart sauté pan with lid. Polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. Both the lids' handles and the pans' long handles (holed for hanging on hooks or pegs) stay cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. The set comes in a handsome wood crate. --Fred Brack What's in the Box

My wife an I duked it out between Calphalon Commercial Nonstick (now called "Contemporary") which she preferred for its lighter weight and All-Clad which I prefer for its tougher build. We have a bunch of each. The All-Clad stuff is better hands down. It heats quicker and more evenly. It seems to cook requiring lower stove temperatures. The anodized exterior is smoother and of higher quality. The clad stainless interior is exquisite and easy to clean.
This particular set is well suited to someone who cooks primarily for themselves - or who already owns a stockpot. 10-inch fry pan; 1-quart covered saucepan; 2-quart saucepan; 3-quart covered casserole; 3-quart covered saute pan are all often used pieces. They constitute a complete kitchen set, lacking only, perhaps, the aforementioned stock pot, and a couple of larger pans (12" fry and 5 Qt. Saute are really nice to have). The choice of stainless interior versus nonstick is personal - but I recommend the stainless interior. First of all, the stainless interior is virtually indestructible and will last a lifetime. All-Clad's nonstick interior is the best in the business, but it does wear out. I've had several LTD nonstick pieces for 9 years now. The ones that get a lot of wear are starting to wear out. Nothing is more pathetic than a battleship built All-Clad pan with a frayed nonstick interior. It's like putting fur in a truck bed. Nonstick might be easier to clean up - but the difference is trivial. Maybe you have the intention of cooking with less oil, but the difference between nonstick and LTD's excellent mirror-like stainless interior is also trivial. I find the arguments for nonstick hard to defend.
As for the review that says anodized aluminum exteriors are hard to maintain, she should read the product literature. You clean anodized aluminum with a plastic scrubby (like the 3M green ones) with bleach cleanser (like Ajax or Comet). Just make a paste with the cleanser and power away stains in moments. Anodized aluminum - like all aluminum cannot be dish washed. The phosphates and brightening agents in dishwasher soap with create a chalky powdery rot in the anodized surface. If you are determined to dishwash your cookware you must forget about aluminum and stick to stainless steel. All-Clad makes a great like of stainless cookware - but nothing is prettier than LTD's awesome black.
 Cooks great but spend all your free time scrubbing the exterior to keep nice looking November 25, 2006

I've had All Clad LTD pans for a number of years now. I usually cook several times a day almost everyday & although these pans cook beautifully and the interior looks beautiful & cleans up easily, the anodized exterior looks terrible now. I wouldn't mind so much but I have them hanging on decorative pot rack. For that reason I want to replace them with the less expensive version in stainless steel but the financial loss is killing me. I don't have room in my small kitchen to put them away. We've had a stainless steel All-Clad sauce pan for a few years which still looks great and isn't embarrassing hanging from our rack. If you don't mind so much what your pots look like then these would probably be a great choice. If anyone knows any great secrets to keeping these looking great, please post them in the discussion area. I've contacted All-Clad several times and do exactly as they say without achieving any desired results.

I just received the ALL-CLAD LTD 8 piece cookware set a few days ago. I can't believe I own such a beautiful set of cookware. My neighbor owns a few pieces of the ALL-CLAD LTD cookware and loves them. I now know why!! I ordered the 8 piece cookware set because I was not interested in another stock pot. I have two and don't need another. Most cookware sets include the stockpot. The first thing I cooked in the frying pan was 5lbs of bacon. What a messy build up I had on the bottom of the pan. I could not believe how easy the cleanup was. I literally placed the pan under hot water with a little soap and sponge. No elbow grease needed!! I was also amazed at how even the heat distribution was. No hot spots to be found and the handle stayed cool!! The frying pan is heavy so not for the faint of heart. I cooked risotto the other night in the 3qt casserole pan and I don't think it has ever come out better. It was much fluffier than usual, even my husband noticed the difference. All because of the pan!! The lid that comes with the 1qt saucepan also fits on the 2qt saucepan. I am finding the 1qt saucepan to be very useful when cooking for my 2 year old just the right size. I'm look for something to disappoint me but so far I just can't wait to cook my next meal!
