So have my wedding coming up and i am being forced to setup a registry as people cant understand the concept of having everything you need/not wanting others to buy the shit you really want lol..
Basically only going to be registering at the bay and mainly for higher end cookware and glassware.
With that said, is All-Clad all it's cracked up to be? in our general cooking we use very little outside of large sauce pans, was looking specifically at the saute pans and sauce pans: Copper Core 4qt Saute Pan with Lid | Hudson's Bay 3 quart Stainless Steel Saute Pan with Lid | Hudson's Bay
and somthing like the big fry pans: 14 Inch 35.5cm Stainless Steel Fry Pan | Hudson's Bay
We've got a brand new Kitchenaid gas range, i've used a few Wolf's in the past etc. and the burners on this kitchenaid seem excellent in comparison (as far as the untrained eye can tell) So i've got the heat sources
Are these pans the type of thing you sometimes read online where people hate them because they just burn everything etc. or are those people just dummies and as long as you kinda know what you're doing, the better pans like this will only add to your experience?
I realize there are far cheaper options and some may think it's ignorant to register for a $400 frying pan or a $650 decanter, but if you're not buying me that level of shit, you're buying me a lesser product of which i already own lol..

Just put cash only on the invitation. Problem solved.

We've already got a few things in terms of no children, no guests etc. adding the no cash line would be getting into the harsh side lol
If anything hopefully no one will buy from the registry because it will be too expensive.

I think all-clad pans are great. Used them in the restaurant and they hold up pretty well. It takes a lot to break them down

I personally find the All Clad handles very uncomfortable so you may want to familiarize yourself with them if you haven't. I have small Asian hands so that's probably the issue  They are excellent, otherwise - mostly due to the tri-ply construction. I haven't found any measureable difference using copper core/five-ply but if you want the best of the best and you're not paying for it go for it. They are as much display pieces as they are functional.

Just picked up a "the Rock" cookware set. Pretty skookum
Also in the "please cash only" bind right now too. Fiancé and I have lived together for 3 years. We have enough to furnish two fucking homes already let alone get more junk we don't need

But seriously , I think we still have enough stuff ,like you ,for 2 or 3 homes still.

"Cash to bride and groom or donation to (insert favourite charity here)"
Most ppl will just shove cash in an envelope out of sheer laziness.

All-Clad's reputation is well earned.
Stainless pans stick if you don't use enough oil, or enough heat.
imho,
Things to consider regarding All-Clad:
- Handle, some people love it, some hate it. Try it first (with a kitchen rag like the pros)
- Pour lip. Their base level doesn't have it on some pieces. It's a requirement for me.
- Aluminium exteriors. I'd stay away from those. You want All-Clad for longevity, so go stainless exteriors.
I think this sites does their cookware reviews quite well https://www.centurylife.org/in-depth...et-frying-pan/
Just FYI,
I do 90% of my pan cooking in my DeBuyer Mineral B carbon steel pans.
I would love to have an All-Clad Copper Core set, but that still wouldn't change the fact they would be secondary to my carbon steel pans.
