 Maybe the best cooks tools ever Apr 22, 2001
By Kar Dell

I can find nothing to take to task on the All-Clad tools. I have nearly all the tools they make and I like them all. They are easy to clean, no nooks for stuff to get stuck. They fit well in the hand and have a substantial, but not heavy, feel to them. Their shape is very good for the task at hand. The sole negative is their price but when balanced against the good, including the fact that they should last longer than the cook, they are a bargain at the price.

 Quality tools, anemic canister Dec 23, 2002
By Sheri Richardson
Restaurant-supply quality tools (overlooking that restaurant suppliers' tools often aren't twenty bucks a pop or quite as heavy). Their weight and the size of the spoons may take some getting-used-to, but as others have stated once you do anything of lesser quality just won't do.Each tool's handle is pierced for hanging, plenty long enough for stockpots, and stay cool. The turner is ridged with a beveled edge; unsuitable for serving up pie, but great for flipping burgers or scraping loose the fond when deglazing. The canister, by comparison, is too light-weight and tips if balance isn't maintained, unlike the Le Creuset canister, which easily handles the weight of these five tools however they're plunked in.

What an awesome set of tools Jan 08, 2003
By Seano

How many times have you reached for your favorite tool and found it was in the dishwasher or sink, waiting to be scrubbed clean? How many spoons have you purchased and tossed away? Stylish and easy to clean, these heavy-duty tools are great. I was pleased to see that their handles mimick the handles to my all clad pots. The container is also large enough to accomodate more tools (start shopping). Quick re-use eliminates the turnaround time with other tools. I think these will last longer since there is no wood to split, no screws to snap, and no plastic to get stained and funky. Nice gift, since it arrives in a large, colorful cylinder package. Another hit!

Nice set to match your All-Clad cookware! Mar 13, 2004
By Rick V
"Rikity"
This is a great kit to go along with any All-Clad cookware collection that you might have going already. Though it comes with a very nice looking stainless steel cup, I prefer to use the hanging rack (also available on Amazon if you search for "all-clad hanging rack"). Plus its not hard to find an alternate use for the cup for something else. My opinion is going to be somewhat biased because I love everything All-Clad. Everything they make seems to have some kind of heft and beauty that I just cant resist. There aren't many things in the kitchen that you can use and abuse with the kind of ferocious angst as with an All-Clad Product. This tool kit is quality at a great price.

 Not as functional Aug 22, 2009
By James M. Koury
After reading the glowing reviews, we thought we would splurge and buy a really good set. While they all appear nice and shiny and are made with sturdy stainless steel to last a lifetime, my wife and I found the functionality of three of the pieces limited.
Both spoons are surprising shallow and on the small side, so they hold very little.
And in addition to the spatula being on the small side, it doesnt have any holes for draining things such as bacon fat, etc.
Personally, we also didnt like the fact that the handles on all the pieces are indented which sends your thumb into a depression, instead of rounded handles which are more common.
We are returning them for stainless steel pieces we found at Crate and Barrel that are similar in quality but have spoons that are slightly larger and deeper, spatulas with holes for drainage, rounded handles and all at half the cost.
