Should you buy the Made In 5-Ply 10-Pc?
The Made In 5-Ply 10-Pc is for the cook who wants restaurant-grade weight and heat retention and is choosing between this and All-Clad. It is made in Italy, oven-safe to 800F per the brand, and ranks #3 of 10 in our Cookware Sets list at $799.00. Its 3 qt saucier is a piece neither All-Clad set includes. This is a considered upgrade, not a starter set; if you are not sure you want 24 pounds of five-ply steel, the Tramontina Tri-Ply does the same cooking for $315.
Where it earns its score
- Highest satisfaction in the category. Satisfaction scores 94, tied with the HexClad and above both All-Clad sets.
- Five-ply construction. Stainless interior, aluminum layers and a magnetic 430 exterior for even heat on induction.
- Quality 90. Second only to All-Clad in the group, with riveted stay-cool handles.
- Includes a saucier. The 3 qt saucier's rounded bottom makes sauces and risotto easier than a straight-sided pan.
- Lifetime warranty. Warranty scores 100.
What to know first
- Value is the lowest factor at 63. You pay $750 for 10 pieces; the Tramontina gives you 12 tri-ply pieces for $315.
- Fry pans come without lids. Same gap as the All-Clad sets.
- Heavy. The set weighs 24.4 lb, and the 10 inch skillet is noticeably heavier than tri-ply.
- Warping reports. Some owners report warping or discoloration after high-heat use, and no nonstick piece is included.
Our verdict
The Made In 5-Ply 10-Pc scores 83, Good Buy. Pick it over the All-Clad D3 at 82 if you want five-ply heft and a saucier for $50 less; pick the Cuisinart MultiClad at 87 if the extra $530 is better spent elsewhere in the kitchen.
