Disappointed

About ten years ago, we bought a set of all clad pots and pans and have been extremely happy with them. They were solid and clearly built to last. I recently warped the saute pan (totally my fault) and purchased this as a replacement. I was extremely disappointed at how dramatically the quality has diminished. The pan was much lighter and thinner than our original set. The lid was a flimsy joke. It seems All Clad has taken the same approach of many manufacturers--cutting corners to increase profit and hoping the name on the pan will maintain its customer base. You would be better served buying generic cookware at 1/3 of the cost.
Amazing pan, but bottom scratches super easy. I’ve been cooking on All-Clad for decades. They’re amazing pots and pans. My only complaint is that the bottom scratches super easy. On my first cook I made steaks. While basting I tilted the pan, as one does, which instantly made the shiny new pan completely scratched up on the bottom. Instructions say not to move or scoot the pan while cooking. I don’t know too many cooks that doesn’t move a pan during cooking on a cooking grate. Bottoms scratch over time, but it was sad to see it happen so quickly.
However, if you can get over that I’m sure these pans will last an extremely long time.
I bought this pan at the same time as the dremeyere Atlantis and have used both now several times apiece. The Atlantis pan is 3x the price and only marginally better. I’ll be buying the all clad from here on out!
Bought this to replace an old All-Clad non-stick version from 15 years ago. Was slightly concerned about food sticking, but as it turns out it cooks great and cleans up easy. I really like that I can get a high heat sear on meats with this pan. Overall, the D3 line is living up to the quality and performance I expected.
I love All-Clad stainless steel pans--all types . They cook well and the food always comes out great!. I like that they are made in the USA. They maybe a little more expensive than most BUT they are well worth the price.
Follow the cleaning instructions with white vinegar, if burned backing soda and maybe bar keepers and the cooking instruction - medium low heat always - only boiling water on high and the pan is perfect.
