Great pan to cook and fry and food tastes better when cooked in this pan. You need to learn to use it. Get the drop of water to slide then put the heat down, then add oil and then cook. Any other order will make a mess for which you will need elbow grease and bar keepers friend and scotch brite to get the stains off. I did not put the heat dow and the walls were full of black burned grease spots and it cost me 20 mins of cleaning. The good thin is it can be cleaned. It is a great investment and there are many youtube videos that will teach you how to use it and clean it.

I am a 70 year old dedicated home chef. I have owned virtually every brand of top end cookware. A few years back after decades of frustration I bought a complete set of D3 and I will never look back. I had had a couple Al clads that had been personal favorites and I had been reluctant to go all in. Having done so I rue my previous reluctance. OMG this is so much better They are beautiful, indestructible, easy to clean and cook perfectly. Once you master the prewarming process you can sear a steak ( on medium) or prepare a French omelette that slides from the like you were using a new teflon pan

This is top quality. You can see American Test Kitchen cook with these pans and consumer reports ranks them high. I have several All Clad but this 12 inch pan is my best all around cooking tool I have and I have non stick, cast iron, carbon steel and aluminum pans from different companies. If I could only have one this is it. Its stainless so very versatile. More versatile than cast iron and easier to take care of. more durable than ceramic coated cast iron, cooks more evenly than cast iron and carbon steel so much so its not even close. If you cook anything with acid or wines in carbon steel or cast iron, it will take your coating/seasoning off that you built up. Stainless steel All Clad with the layers doesn't have that issue and it browns just as well and cooks more even. And with this pan with the right techniques, it can be nearly as nonstick as nonstick pans....not as much so, but don't have to worry about toxins in your food or scratching it while turning the food.Some complain about the comfort of the All Clad handles, dont even get me started. The handles are made to be safe, not be a pair of comfy shoes or a flannel sheets or silk underwear....the handles are designed to grip you hands with hot food and liquids even if your hands are slippery, BY FAR...the most functional handles in the market.1. Quality construction2. Superior design and materials3. Versatile4. even cooking5. durable, will pass from generations4. AMERICAN MADE!!!!

Avid chefs are like any other experienced tool user. We know that better tools are often less expensive in the long run. There's no economy in buying three tools that ruin projects because they never perform as they should. That's true of woodworking tools ( my speciality) and cooking tools (my hobby).After hearing so many top chefs rave about All-Clad and reading many reviews I bought this model to see if it is worth it.It is.The thick flat bottom registers fully to any cooktop, gas or electric. Combine that with the aluminum core surrounded by steel and you get even consistent heating.Other "premium" pans I've used have warped, which leads to uneven heating and a wobbly unstable pan. This well-made pan does not exhibit that tendency. It stays FLAT. My digital temp-gauge shows it heats evenly. Most important: the FOOD shows it heats evenly!I took the time to season this pan with high-temperature oils BEFORE I used it. Although I have seasoned other pans, few of them remained seasoned, especially after searing steaks or scorching hot potato dishes.Another HUGE benefit of a well-seasoned professional pan is the ability to make pan-sauces. This smooth-finished surface deglazes easily and reacts to temperature changes immediately.Pan sauces always look easy in videos. Why couldn't I make them so effortlessly? After I got this pan, I learned. It was not the stove, the ingredients, my timing or technique. It was THE PAN. Now I CAN make professional pan sauces just like Alton Brown, Chef John, Bobby Flay and others.If I had known that years ago, I would have never wasted all my money on cheap pans. I hate to think about all the foods I made that were less than stellar or ruined outright.My contention is that bad tools frustrate the user. A crummy guitar guarantees a student never practices and doesn't learn music. A cheap saw guarantees the nascent woodworker ruins projects and wastes wood.Well... crummy cookware frustrates the budding culinary artist, foils his efforts and wastes food money.Although this price for a pan seems expensive, I reckon it saves money by NOT wasting food and not buying more cheap pans to replace other cheap pans that get ruined in a year.It lowers frustration and produces better results.It is easy to clean and keep seasoned so it remains easy to clean.And I am happy to pay extra for USA made products.It looks and feels as though it should last for decades.Most of the professional chefs I respect use these.America's Test Kitchen rated it #1 top choice for the best all-purpose pan.I am NOT a professional chef, and in a sense, that makes my opinion MORE important to some readers. Why?Because if an rank amateur like ME can get great pro-results with this pan, then other home cooks could too.Highly recommended!The only caveat is, once you experience a professional-quality cooking-tool like this, it is impossible to go back.You may end up buying more!
