[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great overall it does not scratch or nothing sticks which is amazing. I have been using it quite often and can say that this pan is amazing I use it almost everyday and it still looks brand new. It’s design is also amazing it’s nice sleek and looks very professional.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband was in awe. He loves to make soup. We joke he cooks for an army. He loves this new pot. He ended up washing it and making chicken noodle and veggie soup. Was great size. Only down side it gets a little hot.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a nice big pot for cooking soup or pasta sauce. This pot kept my sauce very warm and worked great to simmer for a long time. I didn't notice any burning or staining as it was easy to clean. The pot cooked my food evenly as well. I do not dishwash my pots so I am unsure how the pot would be in the dishwasher. I suggest handwashing it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan is so nice and heavy duty! I have made alfredo and other family style meals in it and had no issues with sticking or things burning ti the pan, it is a good brand and the pan will last a lifetime! I can pass it on to my child when they start to cook.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stainless steel pan is such a quality pan. It is sturdy and has a nice thick bottom. It is perfect for searing your food. It heats up so evenly and well. It can not only go on the stovetop but also in the oven.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan is my new favorite. I love how sturdy it is. Clean up is a breeze as well. I was worried it would be too heavy but it's actually pretty perfect. I've made plenty of breakfast and dinner and never had an issue
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pan is a great value. Let me start by stating that I own one of the more expensive other brand “clad” pans in the same size. This KitchenAid is heavier, which means more material for better heat distribution and retention.
What’s not to love—it distributed heat evenly, and cleans up easily, if you do your part. The key is to let it heat up dry for a couple minutes, then add your oil and let that heat up. Then when you add your food it is largely non stick, without the questionable non-stick coatings. Clean up is easy, and most of the time we just pop it into the dishwasher and it comes out fantastically clean.
The only caveat is that in this size, this pan is heavy (which is a good thing in my book), but just know that going in and size down if needed.
