Are the pans fully clad or just on the bottom?

Magnets will stick to the thickly-clad pan-bottoms [indicating they work on Induction burners]. The sidewalls of the pans are a nice-weight stainless steel, and magnets will also stick to the sides, indicating they do work on Induction burners. The WARNING is: lids: Lids are glass framed in stainless steel. The edges that fit into the pans are SHARP, especially where notched; these edges can shred dish sponges and fingers used to clean inside the recessed inner edge [which is hard to keep clean because it is recessed]. AND, lid knobs designed to stack into each other [some of them], are hollow. That means, they get HOT. The shape of the lids is not easy to use a potholder on. Lids do NOT seal tightly into pans, which means they do allow steam to escape--easy to mistakenly let pans boil dry unless keeping an eye on them.

Yes they are. The pans are great you will love them. The only draw back I had. The seller did not pack them correctly and each pan was dented as if they fell on there side.

They are porcelain and the same color as the sides of the cookware. In addition, it has the size of the pan, etc.

They fit together very well, saves a lot if space. They are also great pans, I think you will be very happy with your purchase!

I assume they are SS...I have owned my set of pans for over a year now, (LOVE THEM!) and there is no rusting...they clean quite weel...easiest way I found to clean my frying pan, especially if I used a glaze, is to add some water to the hot pan, usually while the food is still in it(meats and veggies), and it cleans all the stuff sticking to the pan and deposits it on the food where it belongs.To keep the pans extra clean on the sides and bottom, I occasionally clean with Bar Keepers

Mine did as well, remove them, they are just for packing purposes. The bottom of the pan is removable for serving/presentation purposes.

The bottoms do t get hot but the tops do. Putting that aside it is the best cooking cookware I have used. I love it

Hi Jill, I bought the set as a gift for somebody else so I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Looking through answers posted by others, it looks like there is at best uncertainty on this so I would recomment you contact All-Clad direct. What I can tell you is that my gift recipient is delighted with the product, as you would expect of All-Clad, and I'm delighted with the price I paid on Amazon. Good luck.

The pans are not flimsy in the least. They are very strong, and seem to be very good quality so far.

yes they are. I have had numerous sets of pans ( some extremely expensive-Calphalon-Le cruiset... and these are the best yet!

They are not straight. The top of the pan is 9" in diameter, and the bottom is around 8 1/2" in diameter.

The pan is flat on bottom. It's a great, solid, pan but beware of the exploding lid. I would purchase a lid elsewhere and dispose of the one they provide personally.

Sides are straight. Great cake pans with even cooking. So glad I bought them.

Also, I have been very happy with my cookware. While the copper on the side does seem questionable, the weighted bottom of the pots and pans cook very evenly and well and I find them good quality. I clean them with Bar Keepers Friend and I put paper towels between each pot to protect them from scraping when in the cupboard.

They look like half circles to me...I cannot discern a "base" in the bottom. We haven't used it yet but my husband is experienced at making them and he is very happy with the way the pan looks.

The Stainless steel pot is cladded on the bottom. I put the pot directly over the stove and bring it to boil.

These are very flat bottom. They hug my gas range and old electric range quite nicely. I had a cheaper set of pans that their bottoms were flat and they moved all over the stove. Drove me nuts. I'm quite impressed with Calphalon and will buy more to add to my set. Had them since Christmas of 2013 and no issues whatsoever with them.
