MIU France 10-Piece 5-Ply Clad Cookware Set, Silver



Appears to be very well made.
This cookware is very sturdy and well made. The buyer must be aware, however, that despite the name, the product is MADE IN CHINA. This is not found on the pans themselves, which are marked 'MIU France,' but in small print on the box in which they're packaged.

Solid cookware!
I'll be straight-up: I don't know a lot about cookware, even considering all the research I did. Here's what hours of searching, reading, and comparing has taught me:

-Heavy is good
-18/10 is the kind of stainless steel you want
-Multiple-ply cookware (layers of different metal) is better if the multi-ply goes all the way around the pan, not just the bottom

This set of cookware fulfills all these requirements, and look pretty neat too. Also, when I bought it, it was on sale for a cool $220, which is a pretty damn fine deal.

As for my personal review, I like these pans a lot. Having held them, cooked in them, swished them around in the air while making airplane noises, and so on, I can confirm that this, from a clueless idiot's perspective, is a very fine set of cookware.

Also, I promise this: if anything ever comes up (like the rivets holding the handles on the pot get loose or something) I'll come back and update this review. If...

Comparable to All-Clad
Absolutely wonderful cookware set. I wasn't familiar with the Miu name before ordering, but had seen a review online that said their 5-ply line was comparable to All-Clad. I own quite a bit of All-Clad, and so far this Miu cookware compares very favorably - at less than half the price of All-Clad. If you're looking for a high quality set, but don't want to spend $1000 or more, this is a fabulous buy.
