I have been looking at the All-Clad brand of cookware for sometime, but the price put it out of my range. I came across theCuisinart Multiclad line,and decided to try one. It's hard totell anything about a product from a picture, but I thoughtI'd try. When it came in I was very pleased. It is everybit as good as the All-Clad line. The workmanship on thispan is flawless. The finish is beautiful. The weight is perfect.Not light, but not overly heavy. I plan to buy a piece everyso often until I have a great set of cookware. If you arelooking for a professional piece of cookware that is asbeautiful as it good you need to look very close at this line.
