This is my mainstay pan. As long as you follow the instructions of heating it up before you put anything on it, it is non-stick. Also it is pretty light and distributes heat very well
Believe it or not, a one-quart sauce pan is not easy to find. Since I am a die-hard All-Clad fan, I was thrilled that they make one. As a single person who cooks smaller quantities, this size is ideal. The quality of All Clad is unbeatable.
I started out with this set over 25 years ago. My collection has grown to probably 20+ pieces and another 6 or so in a vacation rental we own. Yes, you do have to learn how to cook to avoid sticking, but it's never anything that some Easy-Off Blue oven cleaner or Barkeepers friend can't handle.
Of special note, friends thought we were crazy putting All-Clad in our vacation rental (where cookware gets no respect, trust me) instead of some cheap non-stick pans. Boy, were they wrong! While they replace their cheap cookware every 2-3 years or so, our All-Clad has proven indestructible. One pan lid is a little discolored from sitting on a hot burner, but it didn't even warp at all. Full disclosure, we do keep a couple HA-1 frying pans around for eggs, etc. but in 8 years we've got no complaints and lots of compliments about having 'the good stuff' as one guest referred to it in their review.
