As a retired couple, I LOVE this saute pan for making one-dish meals (such as goulash!) that last for 2 meals, as well as cooking up two meals' worth of chicken for us. I have quite a few pieces of D3 and have used All-Clad for about 40 years, and assure everyone that using lower heat is the secret to cooking everything, except boiling water for pasta. The older I get the more I appreciate that this product does not leach into our food! My All-Clad will be handed down one day!
We love this pan for several reasons: it allows us to make recipes we couldn't otherwise handle, it cleans up well even after 30 yrs, and it is perfect for our induction electric and our professional gas stoves.
I have had this for 20+ years and this is my favorite pan. I LOVE the size. Great for cooking in large quantities for family or for making extra for freezing. I use it all the time.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Mo 52, We are overjoyed to know you have been enjoying the All-Clad D3 Stainless Steel Sauté Pan! Our cookware is designed to last a lifetime, and we truly mean that. We hope you continue to enjoy this large Sauté Pan by All-Clad for many more years to come!
I trust All Clad cookware and have used your products for years. I recently boght D3, 3-qt. saute pan and have used it twice. I love the even temperature as it cooks meats and sauces evenly. The reason for the 4 star review is the clean up. After cleaning the pan, I see a residue film that should have come off with a regular scrubbing pad. I don't want to risk using a stainless steel pad that may scratch or harm the pan, but a regular scouring pad does not clean it as well. Any advice?
It turned into copper color after a few use. Just don’t know why. Normal uses, heated the pan with oil then fry food….cleaning with normal dish detergent
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Wkch, Thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention. We are very sorry to learn you are experiencing difficulties cleaning your pan. Some stains and food remnants may take more care to remove. For the brownish mark you have experienced, we recommend using a nonabrasive, non-chlorine cleanser, like All-Clad cookware cleaner, Bar Keeper's Friend, or Bon Ami. When using these cleaners, form a paste with a small amount of water. Apply the paste using a soft cloth or sponge, rubbing in a circular motion. Then, rinse with warm water and dry immediately. This cleaning method should eliminate the discoloration on your pan. If you would like further assistance with this issue, please feel free to contact our customer service team directly through our website at https://www.all-clad.com/contact or by phone at 1-800-255-2523. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we hope this helps!
It was a Christmas present from my wife. I really haven't had much of a chance to use it. We've been reading up on how to clean it as we don't want to do damage to it.
