Excellent video on all levels! I purchased our all clad 3 ply set in 2019 based on quality reviews at the time and it’s nice to see my decision validated in objective user reviews such as yours. I will start by saying my all clad is basically indestructible. I used it on my induction single hob outside every night for two years searing steaks and salmon and tuna steaks on the highest heat searing for 3 minutes a side. Lots of smoke, outside, no problem. Dinner was done in less than ten minutes. I loved the induction so we just got a Frigidaire induction and it’s great but now I have to learn to actually cook by using lower heat and longer times. I scrubbed up the pan using bar keepers friend and got it back to shiny whereas a cheap pan I’d probably have to throw away. Great advise on preheating pan with olive oil and butter before cooking. Now I’m doing everything indoors. Lower heat, less smoke, cleans up easy and basically great results while still learning. Thanks again for a great video. Easy to watch and listen too. Minimum music, maximum information.

Mona Lisa Italian Restaurant 





The best Itailian restaurant in Hendersonville! Intimate setting with friendly and knowledgeable people. Sandy makes you feel right at home and every meal a special occasion. The angel hair pasta, lasagna, chicken Alfredo and parmagianas, all are incredible and their Florentine blackened steak is outstanding!

We had a very special dinner again at Mona Lisa again last night. Small, intimate atmosphere, delicious real Italian food with a bottle of wine capped with a Happy Anniversary confection and a demitasse espresso. Just Wonderful!

We are going out less and taking out more. The Chicken Alfredo and Rack of Lamb are so good and so far beyond my cooking skills that calling Sandy to place our order has become almost a weekly treat.
