We recently moved to a new home that does not have gas for cooking. I had built up a solid collection of cast iron and had to find something similar to cook on with our Wolf induction top. I choose the D3 after watching many reviews including the America's Test Kitchen and am glad I did! They are the best pans I've used yet. Cook well, non stick if done properly and beautiful!
Worth it but can get stained or grubby without thorough cleaning

I have always coveted this pan and finally was fed up with my old pan enough to make the purchase. Overall really great quality pan. I would suggest this as someone’s first or only AllClad purchase. I do wish the cooking surface wasn’t so easy to get dingy. I also wish the lid handle was heat proof like the rest of the pan. Generally lives up to the name!
I feel as though the quality is not what expected. I am an avid cook and wanted to replace my 20+ year old calphalon that I loved. I am well aware of how to use stainless steel. These pans have stained after just one use, discolored and had food stick. Again, I know how to use stainless as I have cooked with it for over 20 years and have never had these problems with my Calphalon.
love it. It cooks evenly and well and is a dream to clean up. Just the perfect size for small jobs. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a small fry pan.
Take your cooking to the next level with this D3 set.

This set is phenomenal for the price. Quality is top notch, and it shows in the cook results. Preheating pans is key, and you don't need to go past medium heat to get a great sear on any protein and have had no issues with sticking (with cooking oil). Cleaning has been relatively easy but when needed using Bar Keepers Friend will get these looking brand new again in no time. Only mistake was when I ordered I thought I read that the set included a 10- and 12-inch fry pan but it was actually an 8- and 10- inch. I will definitely be ordering the 12-inch fry pan to add to my set. 10 out of 10 would recommend this set if you're trying to take your cooking to the next level.
These are the essential pieces sized perfectly for a family of 4-6. You can build upon this set moving forward, as per your specific needs. The quality of D3 is excellent, and has a lifetime guarantee. I’ve had mine in daily use for over 23 years and I recommend it highly. This cookware will last you a lifetime, you’ll pass it down for sure.
