3 stainless steel sauce pans for $499 is not a deal. At that price it better be at least 3 ply.

It's tri-ply:

Our stainless steel has a full aluminum core bonded between two outer layers of professional-grade stainless steel. The induction-compatible exterior is infused with titanium to prevent scorching and discoloration over time.

Still too expensive when you can get an entire 10 piece 3-ply Cuisinart Set for $165 at Costco: https://www.costco.ca/cuisinart-multicl ... 26364.html

Please don't fall for the Le Creuset prestige/heirloom thing.

My brain read 4.99$ at first. Was a deal. Then it saw 499$. What a scam.

Thanks OP, bought 25!

Weird, they didn't advertise that in the description for the set, but you're right. This is still a rip off.

For what it's worth, they are very pretty, and the rim makes pouring things a breeze. Got one on clearance for cheap, but I would not pay over 100$ a piece.

I got the thing for those few things I don't want to make using a cast iron pan. Don't pay le creuset premium price for stainless. Worth it for the cast iron if you like nice things.

They are good pans. I have the 3.3 L saucier which I use almost every day - it was the one ranked highest by America's Test Kitchen. Cost me $200 for that pan alone (saw it on sale for $149 last summer). If you can afford it and you want to replace cheaper disc bottom pans, this is not a bad deal, especially if you don't have a large household.

$499 is not even a bargain for three of their cast iron pans, let alone stainless steel ones! From someone who has quite a few Le Creuset cast iron pieces, long before it became trendy.

Le Creuset prices have really gone up and they have been expanding their line. I even used to find the cast iron stuff fairly cheap at Winners. All the ceramic stuff is (and was only ever(?)) made in Thailand. Not sure where the S/S stuff come from. Over a decade ago, I went shopping for a crêpe pan in rural France (Soissons or Compiegne). Found it at a quincaillerie the owner of the chambre d'hôte pointed me to, and it was even 30% off, so €21 instead of €30. Must have been NOS (new old stock) as when I was back in France a few years later, the new design was nearly 3x more. It's listed at C$195.

Cream rises to the top. So does scum.

I have multiclad pro (not this set exactly) and highly recommend it as a good price/performance when it comes to stainless steel.

I don't think anyone doubts that they're good pans. They're just not $500 good, or anywhere close to that price range.

I don't recall Le Creuset ever winning anything:

All-Clad wins every time.

The stainless steel pan I have is made in Portugal. Assume the rest of the line is too.

No matter how much money you have this is not a deal.

Interesting. First time I've seen something not All-Clad win something, even though at the end they still had to mention their favorite is some other All-Clad saucier... Sometimes I wonder if All-Clad pays them.
