Bought these to upgrade some other cheaper common brand that failed. These one piece designed all clads should last way longer than 5 years just based on how they are designed. I’m not a pro but once I got used to these frying an egg is faster and easier than the old pans we had as well. Probably because they are more consistent and precise and more even heat as well. Time will tell but I’d say for anyone shopping for a decent set of pans I’d recommend these if your like me and get sick of Chinese junk that you have to toss out…..
My new favorite pan. I have other All Clad pots and wanted a small pan for small cook needs. The only downside is the handle weighs more than the pan so on the burner it tilts towards the handle side and lifts pan off the burner.
This is the workhorse of my pots. Over 20 years I must have cooked thousands of one pot meals in this 6 quart saute. That includes stove top and braising things in the oven sure it looks beat after 20 years but still performs exactly the same and I'm sure my kids will get great use of it someday too.
Unclear why a stainless steel turner would be offered with stainless steel fry pans, considering the visible scratches that occur. I did read wood and other types recommended. Suggest that the precautions regarding scratches be related IN BOLD for new stainless steel customers.
