bought this to replace a 10" skillet, and its amazing what 12" pan will allow you to do! So much easier to brown chicken pieces with the extra room. also easier to judge the browning of butter. Clean up is simple
Purchased a new pan and first use pan is now stained from cooking a steak highly disappointed expected much better from All-Clad. I have cooked with stainless in the pass, I am a private chef, so this was a treat in poor choice.
I admit I was scared giving up my non-stick for stainless steel. But by following the instructions using medium low heat, heat pan first then add oil, THEN add food, it has worked like a charm. I love my pan! Just wish I add bought the one with the lid too.
Great workhorse for the kitchen. My cooking course taught a lesson on pre-heating the pan and testing with a drop of water. I invariably overheated the pan because it was so efficient, needing only low heat to come to temperature.
