This is the Pro set made by All Clad to the chefs specs. I have many all clad pieces and the handles on the Emerils are far superior and more comfortable. No heat trasfer to the handles and very little to the lid handles. Glass lids are a nice touch as you can check your stuff without loosing any heat or steam. These are built like a rock and look great. Nothing cheap about these and nice even cooking and heat dispersal. You wont be sorry.
