I have been replacing my original wedding shower pans, received over 35 years ago, with All-Clad pans. The 3 qt is my latest addition-actually purchased 2 of this size because it is such a useful utilitarian size for veggies, sauces, small amounts of pasta or rice. Like all of their kind, they clean up beautifully. Nice heft-Ni flimsy materials! Very pleased!
I got this as a gift about a month ago. One of my disappointments is that the handles on the lid as well as the pot get very hot requiring a pot holder to lift the lid. I have an induction stove so the pan heats up very rapidly. I did notice some hot spots on the bottom of the pan, I think the 5 ply option would eliminate this issue
This pan is as great as any other All-Clad I own. That is to say, “Perfect”. The deep sides, even cooking temperature, and easy clean up can’t be beat. All-Clad may be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for squared.
Have used this pot a few times since I got it about one month ago and I'm very pleased. Lid fits tightly. Both the pot and the lid have a beautiful mirror finish. It heats up quicker and more evenly than my old aluminum clad pot.
