I really like this small saucepan. It heats evenly and cleans up easily. I only wish that I could nest it inside my 2 qt saucepan but it’s the same size diameter, so I can’t. But it’s still a great little saucepan!
I am slowly replacing my Calphalon pots and pans with All-Clad, one at a time. I prefer cooking in a stainless pot rather than hard anodized or nonstick. I like that I don’t need a pot holder to lift the pot using the handle. I like the way foods cook and especially like that the pans are easily cleaned. Although I prefer to clean them by hand, I like that they can be put in the dishwasher.
Cooking performance is very good...5 stars. But I'm finding that I need to use Barkeepers Friend after every use. Wasn't expecting that. I'm following the guidelines.. .heating pan, adding oil, heating oil, then frying food. (never higher than 6 out of 10 on electric stove).
I e had this pan for 20 years and while I don’t use it often (it’s huge!) when I do, it’s indispensable. It’s great for searing large roasts! The only downside is even though it’s far sturdier than anything else in this size, it does warp over time. It’s still ok on a gas cooktop but it’s insufferably too warped for use on a smooth cooktop. Also for some reason the handles on the new D3 have less rounded edges that dig into your hand more than the original 3-ply pans. I’m glad mine is from the 90’s but too bad the handles aren’t more ergonomic.
