My wife was very pleased with the quality of this item. Out went the old; in came the All Clad. Amazon is so dependable.
I was on the hunt for stainless steel bowls and came across this set thinking, are you kidding. I love, love, love my set. Why does it cost that much. I know it's all-clad and of course you're paying for the name to an extent, but you also know you're getting high quality with that name. I have no problems with the handle like some and actually find it to be very useful. I see this set lasting a lifetime, it has a nice weight to it and the shape of the bowl is perfect for all the baking and prep I do.
I really wanted to buy these bowls. It just made using the bowls difficult, irritating and tiring. Handles looked very useful and the quality appeared to be first rate. But the gap between the handle and the bowl is too small for my fingers and I don't have the thickest fingers in the world. I wonder why All-clad designed it this way. I would not recommend the set unless they redesigned the handles.
It makes working with them secure and comfortable. Mine aren't so sparkling anymore after years of whisking and beating so the inner finish is more a patina of whorls than a mirror, but that just shows how well-loved they are.
The handle makes all the difference. They are so easy to use and to clean that I never use my other bowls anymore.
I love my All-Clad cookware, but these bowls are my favorite pieces. The slick stainless steel finish washes up in a flash.
Yes, I have other bowls collected over the years, but I've gone 'off' plastic for the most part and relegated those to the garage or the barn. The glass bowls are heavy where these are lightweight while still strong.
It's the handle though, that sets these bowls apart more than anything else. They are well worth the investment because they will last a lifetime (or more).
Taking a "You only live once view.", I decided to retire my 40 year old set of bowls and splurge on All Clad. perfectly weighted, beautifully polished, and comfortable in the hands. I wanted to compare them with the Cuisinart set of 4 w/lids for less, but couldn't find any in the stores with which to compare. The bowls arrived earlier than expected in perfect condition in a factory box, and they are things of beauty, and feel more like tools than bowls. They should last forever. The bowls are an equal in quality to All Clad cookware, IMHO.
