Question 1

Considering the nonstick versus the stainless steel all clad sets.  Anyone have any input? Pros v cons?

Accepted Answer

I have had he HA1 and also the copper core non stick  and some of the stainless pieces for a few years now. I have zero idea why people are knocking the non stick. Mine is holding up like a champ. It says don't wash in dishwasher but honestly have have been for about 5 years now and they still work and look like brand new.  I use them all the time every day .I also have left a non stick on the stove probably a little to long while preheating ( not super long but definitely a bit too long) and those also are just fine.  No idea why someone said dish rack not good so I'm stumped how to reply to that. Also I do sometimes use a scouring pad  and just use the blue thin plastic kind.The only thing I really take care with is always using plastic or wood utensils.  Maybe  some people are confusing this Ha1 non-stick with the cheaper  Essentials non-stick they make which is cheaper and thinner.They look very similar . THAT SAID... I didn't buy mine off Amazon but just wanted to put my 2 cents in .

Question 2

How well do these hold up in the dishwasher?

Accepted Answer

We’ve had them just over a year and haven’t had an issue with using the dishwasher on them.   Often times we don’t need to put them in the dishwasher because the non-stick surface cleans up easily with a wet paper towel and some dishwashing liquid.   Overall, we’re very happy with them.

Question 3

How well do they do on a glass stove?  Do any of the lids fit the fry pans?

Accepted Answer

I have a glass cook top and they do just fine. I haven’t had trouble with the lids- there is one that will fit each pot. Not one for each pot but one that will fit the pots in the set.

Question 4

Many reviews say the handles get hot.  Does anyone have any experience with that?

Accepted Answer

As with any cookware with metal handles, if you leave them on enough heat for long enough, you should expect the handles to get hot. I wouldn't say these get any hotter than any other cookware with metal handles. Use a potholder if you need to.
