Yes, they are made in China. Only All Clad, which now makes their handles and lids off-shore too (they don't tell you where) and Vollrath are made in the US. All Clad is no better than Cuisinart (which would be my second choice, and a lot cheaper) or Calphalon, now discontinued, in the clad cookware category. And All Clad is ridiculously expensive, which in my opinion is completely unjustifiable, not to mention that their handles are as uncomfortable as they come.
If I didn't care about looks I would have gone with Vollrath, but the Le Creuset are very attractive (for pots and pans). The new handles are thick and easy to grasp. The finish is impeccable.
Highly recommended
Excellent High-end Cookware set - kathycooks - Fort Lauderdale, FL USA
I bought this set at a mall store at 1/2 price. I have to say it's a dream to cook with. In renovating our kitchen, one thing I definitely wanted was an induction cooktop so I needed new cookware that works with induction. I went to the store looking for All-Clad, but this caught my eye. I read some reviews, but it seemed everyone was hung up on the fact that it wasn't "All-Clad" - the be-all and end-all of cookware. In fact, most of the reviewers had never tried it or even seen it in a store, but that didn't stop them from writing negative reviews. Because of all the negatives, I was unsure until I actually cooked with this cookware but after I did, I was sold. The great thing about it is it isn't All-Clad so you can get a good price for it. Le Creuset is trying to compete with All-Clad and I'm convinced they have a product good enough to do it.
