The handle doesn’t feel ergonomic at all due to the size of the pan, but it’s not really an issue unless you struggle to lift objects of that weight. Overall for one of all clads cheaper pieces it’s beautiful and works flawlessly.
Bought this 14” 3ply stainless frypan about a year ago, so a long-term review. The pros are its large cooking area, fast conduction of heat, nicely sloped sides and quick cooling. The handle is shorter but given the relatively light weight of the pan, that is not a problem, particular with the helper handle on the other side. It cleans up nicely for a stainless steel pan. The major con is that although it lays flat on a conduction surface (sits on the largest conduction zone on a Wolf range), it develops a temporary warp in the center rising when I heat it at any temperature above warm on an induction top. If I put a 1/4 cup of oil in the cold pan, the oil spreads out perfectly from edge to edge, as it is flat internally. Turn the cooktop to a setting 3 (out of 10) and the center pops up a bit and the oil rushes to a ring at the edges of the pan, so food placed in the center sticks more. Turn off the heat and the interior of the pan goes perfectly flat again, so it’s not a permanent warp.. For comparison, my 12” copper core stays flat on the same 3 (of 10) heat setting, so it’s the 14” fry pan construction, rather than the cooktop.
I love my new all-clad pan ! It is the perfec pan to go from stove top to oven, Nothing sticks and it cleans easily. I am sorry I waited so long to get one
I recently bought an AllClad 12” frying pan with a lid. I chose AllClad because it is made in the USA and I wanted a stainless steel pan as it is a healthy choice for cooking in. I am in love with this pan! It cooks evenly and I have no problem with food sticking. Even my husband is a huge fan. I can’t believe I waited so long to buy this.
My new favorite pan. I have other All Clad pots and wanted a small pan for small cook needs. The only downside is the handle weighs more than the pan so on the burner it tilts towards the handle side and lifts pan off the burner.
