I have never used a stainless pan before so it has taken a bit of getting used to, but after watching some videos, etc. I feel like I am learning to use this beautiful pan.
Love this pan , cooks evenly , cleans easily , makes cooking more enjoyable , would give it five stars if not for the handle redesign, old style D3 much more comfortable to use , we have the 8" & 10" in old style , we love them all ...
I bought this pan about a month ago and have been experimenting with it on a variety of foods. I've done a couple of braises, chicken breasts and thighs (boneless and bone-in), and veggies including shiitake mushrooms, which tend to stick easily. I've read other reviews about the pan sticking. Yes. It will stick. Any stainless steel will. However, if you deglaze the pan with 1/2 cup or more of liquid (I've used water, chicken broth, heavy cream, and vinegar) almost everything that's stuck (the fond) will come off. I'm also religious about cleaning the pan and make sure to soak it in hot water before I start cleaning. I go through a lot of Barkeepers Friend, but my pan still looks as good as it did on Day 1.
I bought this 3 quart pot for daily use and couldn’t be more pleased. This is a solid well made pot. Cleaning is easy with regular dish detergent. Need to clean occasionally with barkeepers friend to remove light tarnish and restore original luster.
Been using this set for a few weeks now, and this stuff is awesome. People talk about hard to clean. It’s not an issue. Let the pan cool, soak for a bit, and it cleans up pretty easy to look like new. They heat up really fast and don’t need much heat.
