I've been using All-Clad since 1978, when I purchased a 4-quart and 2-quart saucepan and a 3-quart sauté pan. They were all MasterChef models, and after 38 years they are still doing service in my kitchen. Over the years I purchased some skillets, most recently the new MasterChef (MC2) 12-inch skillet, which has a nice, thick aluminum core and outer layer because I wanted the extra thickness for more even heating.
I've also got a couple of the newer D5 pans, one of which is a 1½ quart saucepan which is used several times a day and lives on my stove top. The other is a D5 8-quart soup pot which I picked up at Williams-Sonoma for $200 when it was on sale about a year ago. This is a great pot, and it does double duty as a Dutch oven. I highly recommend the D5 line and the new MC2 pots ... mine have been excellent in all circumstances.
