Great replacement for my All-Clad 2 quart non-stick sauté pan. Love my All-Clad cookware. Love the way this pan cooks. Love the weight. This pan is the one I use almost daily. Very happy that my daughter got me this pan for Christmas.
I e had this pan for 20 years and while I don’t use it often (it’s huge!) when I do, it’s indispensable. It’s great for searing large roasts! The only downside is even though it’s far sturdier than anything else in this size, it does warp over time. It’s still ok on a gas cooktop but it’s insufferably too warped for use on a smooth cooktop. Also for some reason the handles on the new D3 have less rounded edges that dig into your hand more than the original 3-ply pans. I’m glad mine is from the 90’s but too bad the handles aren’t more ergonomic.
I use the saute pan primarily to combine ingredients to make a one pot meal. The user instructions have been very helpful, since I'm not what you call a cook. I am amazed how easy it is to clean the pan, easier than my former no-stick frying pan. So, I'm happy with my purchase and wondering why it took me so long to get this quality pan.
This pan is as great as any other All-Clad I own. That is to say, “Perfect”. The deep sides, even cooking temperature, and easy clean up can’t be beat. All-Clad may be a little pricey, but you get what you pay for squared.
