Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I originally decided to buy an All-Clad Stainless 13-Inch French Skillet over the All Clad 14" fry pan since both pan bottoms are the same diameter (same amount of cooking surface). But the French skillet's pan top has a smaller diameter than the 14" fry pan due to the steeper slope. When I need to cover the French skillet when cooking, I can use the lid from my All Clad 6 quart sauté pan. There is no All Clad lid I know that I can cover the 14" fry pan, not even if you buy it separately. But, as another person noticed, the 13" French skillet has a noticeable high pan center that I first noticed when frying eggs (the eggs kept sliding away from the center of the pan). You may not care if you like omelets but then the pan's utility is limited. The LTD2 14" fry pan is about one pound heavier than the All Clad 13" French skillet (4.11 lbs versus 3.1 lbs). Both pans heat up equally fast and evenly on my gas range. This 14" LTD2 fry pan has the same handle as the Copper Core line which is longer and wider which in my opinion gives better comfort and control for this largest of All Clad's fry pan.
This is my first All Clad LTD2 piece (I have a 12" fry pan and 1 quart sauce pan in the original LTD). I noticed that the anodized finish of the original LTD series is not very hard and wears away quite easily when compared with the original Calphalon anodized aluminum finish. Only time will tell how well the newer hard anodized finish will last.
PROS:
The 14" fry pan bottom is level so it can allow for frying eggs when compared with the 13" French skillet (which has a noticeable raised pan center).
Has the longer and wider Copper Core style handle which provides better control when compared with the same pan in Stainless or original LTD.
CONS: No lid available for the 14" fry pan if you want to steam or braise.
