Was excited to try this pan, but disappointed. After only a week of very light use my pan is already looking stained and worse for wear. Was hoping this would be an heirloom pan like the stainless steel I grew up with.
The pan is a generous size to cook larger amounts of food. When used properly, it is non-stick and cooks evenly. The only downside to the pan is the maintenance. We have an all-clad 10" pan we have had for over 10 years that still works beautifully. The first time we used our 12" pan, even after we followed the care and cleaning instructions noted by All-Clad, it continued to appear like there were spots on the surface. This seems to be the case from several others who have noted it in their reviews. This is unfortunate given we only used it once.
It’s a great pan and would get 5 stars on our old gas stovetop. But on our induction stove, it buzzes quite noticeably, which is rather annoying. Minus one star.
