This is our second all clad purchase to add to our collection. My husband and I needed a second of this pan since we both use it for our various breakfasts at very varying times. 10/10
Back in 2000 I decided to take a gap year after getting my degree and before getting a "real" job. I always loved cooking and decided to work part-time at Williams-Sonoma in Valley Fair mall just so I could get the discount and set up my kitchen correctly. 25 years later I am living in France and still using my All-Clad cookware. I have added a few extra pieces since then, but it has served me everyday since 2021 and still going strong. My son will soon graduate from university and I am going to buy him a set. I know it is a gift that he will keep for a lifetime. The best purchase I ever made.
I purchased this pan to replace the nonstick pan I use every week for scrambled eggs. I read and watched the video for the proper way to cook eggs. I have scrambled eggs in it three times. The first time, I followed the directions and the eggs came out perfectly, no egg left sticking in the pan. The second time, feeling smug and impatient, I heated the pan at a lower than recommended temperature and did not allow the eggs to cook long enough before I started pushing my spatula through the mixture (how I used the nonstick pan). I ended up with egg stuck all over the bottom surface of the pan. The third time, I heated the pan as recommended and allowed the eggs to set before I started moving the mixture around to complete the cooking process. The pan had no stuck on egg. Lesson learned. Follow the recommendations for cooking eggs and this will become your favorite pan.
I knocked the pan one star because of the price. I bought the pan because of great reviews and it is made in the USA. I know with care, I will never need to replace this pan and look at this as an investment. I am overall very pleased with my purchase.
