I should preface this by saying that this is, so far, the only stainless steel pan I own. I wanted to "get into" cooking, and tried to start out with cast iron. I told myself it wasn't too bad, but quickly found it to be a hassle. I heard many good reviews about this pan. I was unsure of the price, but decided to buy it anyway -- I'm glad I did! This pan is light, easy to handle, and I've found that, as long as I pre-heat it correctly, it's a breeze to clean! I haven't run into any issues yet, but it feels very well built. If you're unsure like I was, I really recommend you give it a try!
I bought this pan in march and I received it about a month later maybe sooner! It looked very beautiful right out of the box, the lid is also stainless steel so that was a very fancy touch although there isn't a breathing hole in the lid that was fine!! It is now about to hit may and my pan is actually doing awesome! I use barkeepers friend and I have white vinegar on hand in case of hard water spots but I haven't ran into any yet!! It's cleans like a DREAM, please stop wasting your time on toxic non stick pans these all clad stainless steel pans are even more easier to clean and healthier for you! They are pricey but I figure I will try to get my whole set one at a time, 1 per year haha thank you all clad!
I purchased this pan to replace the nonstick pan I use every week for scrambled eggs. I read and watched the video for the proper way to cook eggs. I have scrambled eggs in it three times. The first time, I followed the directions and the eggs came out perfectly, no egg left sticking in the pan. The second time, feeling smug and impatient, I heated the pan at a lower than recommended temperature and did not allow the eggs to cook long enough before I started pushing my spatula through the mixture (how I used the nonstick pan). I ended up with egg stuck all over the bottom surface of the pan. The third time, I heated the pan as recommended and allowed the eggs to set before I started moving the mixture around to complete the cooking process. The pan had no stuck on egg. Lesson learned. Follow the recommendations for cooking eggs and this will become your favorite pan.
I knocked the pan one star because of the price. I bought the pan because of great reviews and it is made in the USA. I know with care, I will never need to replace this pan and look at this as an investment. I am overall very pleased with my purchase.
I was so pleased with my new D3 Stainless 3-Ply Bonded Cookware, Fry Pan with Lid, 12 inch. I moved into a new house 3 weeks ago and wanted a newer set to celebrate. This pan is perfect for when I have company. I always love my All-Clad. I gave the ones I received as wedding gifts to my godson’s wife. I brought no pots or pans with me. I plan to replace them with All-Clad. I love how well made it is made. I am going to enjoy browsing and buying new All-Clads for their exceptional quality.
Quality pan very responsive to induction cook top burner. I Had hard time cooking fried eggs and chicken breast without excessive stickiness and burning with olive oil. Until i learned Best to adjust to a lower temperature setting and not use excessive oil so as not to burn and have excess oil left over.
