Pros: of this fry pan are I cooked grilled sandwiches and vegetables to my satisfaction. I have even put water in the pan, placed frozen food in their storage containers, and turned on the burners to medium heat to defrost the contents enough to be able remove from the containers.
Cons: stains seem to stay on the pan despite using Bar Keepers Friend and a non scratching pad.
I love All-Clad stainless steel pans--all types . They cook well and the food always comes out great!. I like that they are made in the USA. They maybe a little more expensive than most BUT they are well worth the price.
Follow the cleaning instructions with white vinegar, if burned backing soda and maybe bar keepers and the cooking instruction - medium low heat always - only boiling water on high and the pan is perfect.
This is a wonderful set of cookware. When used and cared for properly, it outperforms anything I've used in the past. If your currently using Farberware or Revereware stainless, this will definitely up your cooking game! In addition to the set, I ordered a couple non-stick skillets which also oerform well. **Please remember, this cookware does not go in the dishwasher.
We are so glad we made the switch to all clad from non-stick pans. We had been debating for like a year on when we would make the switch. We finally made the switch and we couldn't be more pleased.
