Awesome pan, I recommend getting barkeepers friend to clean it if you like keeping them shinny. If I were to buy it again I would go with a 12 inch pan, which seems to be the standard "large" sized pan. I can't fit 2 pieces of French toast or two burgers in the 10 inch, which are often on the menu at my house. I'm keeping the 10 inch because it's a great pan but also bought the 12.
We're very happy with this purchase. It's light weight that's perfect for people like me that have Fibromyalgia or weak wrist. It heats up fast. Cooks evenly. Cleans up good. Love the lid too!
This is my first time exploring the world of stainless steel and all clad and wow. I cannot believe I was missing out all because I was nervous with stainless steel not being non stick. I have a gas stove and normally cook on setting 5-6 with my teflon pans. With this I barely need it at 3-4. And it heats up QUICK. I use it everyday and can’t wait to buy more a little at a time. Definitely worth the money. And will be telling all my friends and family how they need to ditch their chemical filled teflon and go stainless! All clad is definitely what I will recommend.
It’s ok. Uneven heating and hot spots. We’ve watched a lot of videos and read up on how to use the pan properly to avoid sticking. I think I’ve mostly mastered it, except that the pan does not appear to heat evenly… for example, the center of the pan won’t be pre-heated properly while the edges are… but once the center is pre-heated, the outsides will be too hot. It’s definitely a learning curve, but we’re happy to have moved away from toxic non-stick. It’s overpriced for what it does and what it offers.
Absolutely! Once I learned to heat the skillet 1st, add oil, heat, than add food. Frying chicken right this minute and frying perfectly and NOT sticking
