We have a 12 inch fry pan and a 4 quart sauté pan, all D3. They performed very well as long as the pans are preheated around medium/medium low. These pans never need to be cooked on any high setting or flame. Clean up requires a little soaking at times, but most of my cooking requires deglazing at some point, so cleanup is easy with a sponge for the bits that get stuck to the bottom surface. Surface scratches can happen, but they don't effect the cooking surface. Very happy with performance.
Does not come clean no matter what I do. I scrubbed then soaked then scrubbed again but does not come clean. I followed online advice to make the pan very hot and add oil before using. This helped but the pan still never comes clean.
After following all the instructions how to properly use this pan, it is hard to clean after use and has permanent stains. The handle is poorly designed as it is very uncomfortable. The frying pan is also highly priced and not worth it. The only positive is that I do love the stainless steel cover as I hate the tempered glass ones. I do not recommend purchasing this product to others. I would request a refund BUT have to pay for shipping and take a 30% penalty for returning it.
The pan is a good size and so far has cooked well. Disappointed that the surface became discolored so quickly. Even after scrubbing clean, it still has a brownish tint to it. Same thing happened to my D7 slow cooker. I do not expose the pans to high heat, but nevertheless, it still occurs.
Horrible and disappointing. I have been buying All-Clad for years and this is by far the worst pan. Everything sticks to it, even following the directions on preparation and use. If I could return this pan I would. We have tried everything and yet it continues to disappoint. This might be the end of AllClad purchases.
