Check carefully before buying from All-Clad.Many of their items are now being produced in China & quality has suffered.I ordered a piece which Amazon's description said was made in the USA.I called the company & they said ALL the braisers are now made in China but the quality is just as good.NO......IT IS NOT!The 3 ply is only on the bottom & does NOT go up the sides.They are lighter in weight.They are NOT usable on Induction Burners.YES.....they are a bit lower in price....BUT STILL EXPENSIVE.What bothers me is that All-Clad is being less than forthright in informing consumersof their MADE IN CHINA merchandise.
