Is Ikea Cookware As Good As All-Clad?

Throughout years of testing, our kitchen journalists have consistently found that All-Clad cookware is top-of-the-line. But that quality comes at a price, the company’s 10-piece set costs a whopping $800. According to reviews, IKEA’s set of pots and pans is seemingly indestructible and capable of lasting nearly two decades — for just $100. If you add the stainless steel frying pan (sold separately) you have a seemingly comparable 10-piece set for about $130. Can this potential dupe stack up against our buy-it-for-life recommendation?
