I know this is an old post, but was wondering if anyone has an updated version of this comparison.
I just had a host who wanted cookware, but her DH insisted on All-Clad. :cry: :grumpy:

I have had my Exec Cookware since it initially came out. I use my 8" every singe morning...we use the 12" and 10" several nights a week.
I have an 8" that I take to my shows - I let my sons scratch it up with a rock so that I could show my guests how the non-stick-ness does not fleck or flake and even after I let my kids scratch it up, nothign sticks to it.
Becky, it sounds like you either have a defective piece or you have very unrealistic expectations...

I've had my pans for two years. They do get what I call usage marks, but they aren't scratches (as in cuts). I don't think it's a fault, but normal indication of use.
