[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have never had a hard time cleaning my All-Clad pans.  I always sear, sauté, etc. in a little oil and/or butter.  Brillo pads are fantastic for badly stuck-on stuff, and if there is a lot of debris I use a little plastic scraper first- it's about the size of a credit card.  But I seldom have to resort to Brillo or the scraper.  A scrubby sponge almost always does the job.[/quote]

Oh my.  I would never give a college student All-Clad.  That's a good waste of money.  A college student is going to be brutal on pots and pans unless they already knew how to cook and care for cookware before they went to college and even then, some kids will regress and not take the time to care for pans.  I recommend getting an inexpensive Dutch oven pot, an inexpensive medium sized sauce pan and an inexpensive non-stick skillet.  You can purchase such items as places like Wal-Mart, Target, etc.  Replace as needed, but likely the only one that you'll need to replace will be the non-stick skillet which you'll probably replace once or twice during college depending on how much the kid cooks.[/quote]
