this fry pan lives up to all website/cooking show recommendations. i have sauted, browned, even steamed foods and it performs well. the even heating and ease of clean-up are spectacular.
Flat bottom Heats fast and evenly. Omelets work. Fried eggs stick a little. I seasoned my pan by heating avocado oil to smoking point and cooled then wiped down before first use. Very nice pan
Last frying pan anyone would ever need. Excellent craftsmanship ensures perfect outcome every time it’s used. I bought one for each of my sisters so that they can enjoy the wonderful line I won’t cook without.
Have been using this for a few weeks now and I really love it. I have NOT had any issues with food sticking that weren't my fault. I did not let it get hot enough. It cleans up very easy also. Have not had any trouble cleaning it either. Hot soapy water and if necessary, some Bar Keepers Friend. Polishes it right up like new.
The only other pan I have to compare it to is an Avacraft one that I have. It is also a tri-ply pan. They are both heavy duty and sturdy, but the All-Clad's core is twice as thick as the Avacraft. The All-Clad also has better craftsmanship and is cleaner and more polished looking all around. The All-Clad seems to cook better also. The Avacraft occasionally will stick a wee bit even when it's good and hot, but nothing major. When the All-Clad is at the right temperature it's just as good as nonstick. I've only cooked meat in the All-Clad, but I have cooked bacon and eggs in the Avacraft with no issues, so I'm sure the All-Clad will do even better.
I am very happy with this pan and it's quality and I plan to buy more All-Clad in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this pan almost a year ago and I am in love with it. It goes from stove to oven easily. It performs perfect every time. And the cleaning is so easy. One of the best pans I ever own. Have no problem with sticking at all, great addition to my cookware collection, my second All Clad product, and I am saving for my third one. Great investment.
The pans cook evenly however food does stick to them. They are easy to clean if you soak them prior to cleaning. Not as happy as I was hoping for. I also don't like the discoloration these pans get every time you use them.

Hello Lynnette W., Thank you for your review and for sharing your feedback. Your feedback and satisfaction are very important to us. To help prevent foods from sticking, we recommend using a generous amount of fat such as butter or oil while cooking. Additionally, for harder to clean stains and discoloration, we recommend using a stainless steel cleaner such as the All-Clad Stainless Steel and Aluminum cleaner and polish, or Bar Keepers Friend. You can form a paste with these cleaners, and it will help remove the stain.
