All-Clad - 10.5" D3 Stainless & Copper Core Domed Lid - L391706RL

Very impressed with the quality of clad D 3. Excellent size of all three

This is my first set of stainless steel pans. I was wanting to ditch teflon pans and after a bit of research settled on All-Clad based on their excellent reviews. I was so stainless steel illiterate that I didn't know anything about layered pans with aluminum and had to research if this was a benefit or a cheaper quality. But, these All-Clad pans are amazing. They look great, are hefty and the set delivers everything you could need, outside of a 12" frying pan which I ordered to accompany this set.

The transition to stainless steel has been very smooth as I was conduction lots of research on how to properly use stainless steel and once you get the technique of the leidenfrost effect you can cook anything. My first thing I cooked was fried eggs and had excellent results. I even have my 9 and 11 year olds using the pans and preheating correctly and doing the water test.

Clean up is a breeze, they cook excellent and I've even noticed that cooking in the pots is much faster than my old teflon pots and I'm assuming it's due to the even heating and heat retention of the pots. The lids also help as they fit so securely that even steam doesn't escape which helps cook the food faster.

This is an amazing set and I cannot recommend it enough, as long as you are committed to learning how to use stainless steel correctly which is not difficult at all.

I purchased this pan to accompany the 10 piece set I bought which only have a 8" & 10" pan. First off, Chef Supplies did a great job packaging and the shopping experience was great, I'll use their service again.

The pan itself is my first forray into stainless steel and I wanted my first pans to be excellent quality and All-Clad delivers. The pan is hefty but not nearly as heavy as my cast iron. I was initially worried as my electric glass top stove only has an 8" element and I was worried the pan would never heat evenly to the edges. Now it does take longer to get up to temperature on the edges but I just move the pan around on the burner during the preheating. The pan cooks great and clean up is a breeze.

If you want to move away from teflon to stainless steel like I did, do some research on how to properly use stainless steel and the transition will be smooth.

This is a wide, heavy saucepan that heats up quickly and has an unusually long handle . It does not have flared edges or a spout of any kind, though when pouring water out of it, I did not notice any spilling. If that's what you're looking for then this is for you.

This works especially well on induction. Whereas my previous, rather cheap 4.5qt saucepan with a tri-ply base (but not tri-ply cladding) worked with induction, for whatever reason this heated up so much more quickly, in line with what I see from my other pans.

This also pairs great with the All-Clad steamer insert with the handle. It fits perfectly and the lid from this pan fits perfectly on the steamer.

I can't think of anything I would change about it.

I have to all clad 3-D pans and I really like them

👍

Pros: Quality pan. Lives up to the name.

Con: The handle design can dig into the palm a bit, causing discomfort.

This is the nicest pot I have ever owned. So well made and easy to use.

Love this pan that we are replacing our demeyer pan. It is smaller but will be adequate for us but we love how well made it is and how quickly and evenly it heats
