All-Clad Stainless-Steel Saute Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own the 3-Quart version of this pan, purchased in a set before I knew better, and have used this 4-Quart. I prefer this one because its taller sides make doing a true sauté (which means "jump" in French) of the ingredients a bit easier. Taller sides like this are what are found in most European sauté pans. The previous review is inaccurate in that both the 3-Quart and 4-Quart All-Clad pans are identical in diameter, which can be verified at All-Clad's web site.
Per All-Clad, the LTD and Master Chef lines use thicker aluminum so if you don't need the ease of maintenence and durability that comes with a stainless-steel exterior, I would suggest you consider these other lines for their more even (i.e. better) heating performance.
Also, there are higher-end cookware lines out there than All-Clad. Don't think that All-Clad is the "best" available. Brands such as Demeyere and Bourgeat have features such as more durable exterior finishes (Demeyere Atlantis, etc.), thicker aluminum cores, more comfortable handles (an All-Clad weakness), and even full copper (more conductive than aluminum). These come at a higher price than All-Clad. On the other hand, there are less-expensive product lines such as Calphalon Commercial (often cheap on Amazon.com!) and brands used in commercial kitchens like Sitram.
Still, this is a nice pan and I don't think you can really go wrong with All-Clad. It's the best commonly available at consumer kitchen shops and easy to order on Amazon.com.

Product Description:
Designed for cooking foods in a small amount of oil or butter while continuously tossing, stirring, or shaking, the saute pan is wide to provide ample room for food movement, with a flat bottom to slide smoothly back and forth on a burner, and straight sides keep food from sliding out. The slightly domed lid lets you finish a dish under cover without changing pans. Stick handle stays cool during normal stovetop use, and the helper handle makes it easier to lift when full.
- 3-Quart: This size is great for pan-frying potatoes or batter-dipped vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini, or sliced green tomatoes; also wonderful for slow braising.
- 4-Quart: We like this pan for three-step cooking of steaks or chops: sear them over high heat, finish cooking in the oven, then return pan to the stove to make a wonderful sauce from meat drippings, wine (to deglaze), butter, and herbs.
- 6-Quart: Great for shallow braising, this 6-quart saute pan can also be used as abain mariewhen preparing custards.

All-Clad's leading cookware line is brilliantly styled with a hand-polished gleaming stainless-steel finish that many of the world's professional and home chefs prefer. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior will not react with your food, leaving the pure taste you desire. Dishwasher-safe.

All-Clad LTD2 Fry Pan 14-in. Review

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.

Emeril Pro-Clad Tri-Ply Stainless-Steel 10-Piece Cookware Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm just a guy who likes to cook. The Berndes teflon sauce pans that I've been using for years were starting to deteriorate, and I knew I wanted to replace them with a set of stainless steel clad cookware. As much as my ego wanted All Clad or Demeyere, I just couldn't justify the cost. After a lot of research and store trips, I decided on the Calphalon Tri-Ply set. Deciding to make one last attempt to kill any buyer's remorse, I made one more trip to Bed Bath and Beyond just to be sure. That's when I spotted the Emerilware Pro-Clad set (this is the fully-clad line, not the original line with the heavy disk welded to the bottom). I should say I'm not really a fan of Emeril -- he's just another TV personality to me. I rarely watch his shows, and I've never eaten in his restaurants. If anything, I'm the kind of person who would avoid celebrity endorsed products.

Enough with the caveats. I wasn't crazy about the handles on the Calphalon set. Too skinny and short for my hands. When I grabbed the Emerilware sauce pan, it was instantly very comfortable in my hand. The handle is much beefier than pretty much any other SS cookware I picked up. Performance-wise, the handles stay cool on the stovetop (I have a glasstop). Even the loop handles on the stockpot were cool enough to pick up and drain a pot of spaghetti. Love the handles. The pieces have a slight heft to them without being unwieldy. I have a couple of old monster fry pans, and these are very easy to manage in comparison. Good weight and balance. Also, liquids pour nicely off the rolled lip.

I've had no problem adjusting to SS after using teflon for a lot of years. I use olive oil or canola oil, and have had no problem with food sticking or burning. I love the saute pan for searing steaks, chicken, and pork chops, then throwing it into the hot oven to finish. Back on the stovetop (using a pot holder, duh), a little bit of chicken broth or wine deglazes the pan and makes a quick an easy sauce. I find that I use all of the pieces in the set on a regular basis. The steamer is useful as we prefer to steam our veggies. If you follow the instructions and keep an eye on the heat, these things clean up with absolutely no problem. Any residual discoloration or stubborn bits come right off with Barkeepers Friend.

I deducted one star for the following small gripes: I would have preferred SS lids instead of glass, even though I haven't run into any drawbacks with the glass. Next, the Pro-Clad line is somewhat limited compared to other brands. I picked up the largest (3 qt) saucepan to round out the set -- I would have preferred a 4 qt with an extra loop handle, but it' not offered. I'm hoping the manufacturer adds other choices to the line over time. It would be nice to have a matching saucier or wok, for instance. Lastly, I've noticed that the frying pan is warped very slightly, maybe 1/16", so that it rocks a little bit on the glasstop. I didn't notice if it came out of the box this way, or warped slightly from the heat of the stove. It doesn't seem to affect the performance anyway. All of the other pieces are perfectly flat on the bottom. I inspected all of the pieces for burrs, and found them all to be perfectly smooth.

In summary, my wife and I are really pleased with our purchase of the Emerilware Pro-Clad set. It works great and looks great. We expect them to give us many years of great food.

Sitram Profiserie 9.5-Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been using Sitram for several years, and I've never had any problems. The stuff is built for the food industry - no frills and no fancy packaging, but it will stand up to use and abuse.

The company changed hands a couple of years ago, and for a little while during the transition their customer service was suffering. Don't let that detract you from buying this cookware.

(My only beef is that they've discontinued the Magnum Pro line, which was the only copper-based line that also worked on induction. Dear Sitram/Freiling folks - please, oh please bring it back).

All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 12-Inch Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my benchmark pan.Most of my collection is All-Clad Stainless.Generally speaking, I consider All-clad to be a standard for servicable cookware.Myself as well as many in my extended family have had heaps of junk fraudulently sold as cookware.I cannot believe some of the pathetic things others use.It's cupped, coned, damaged or sticks and heats so unevenly you can see it on the food.

All-Clad on the other hand has nothing to be ashamed of.It is not exactly luxury stuff though.The copper here is mostly a decorative layer -- which is lost on my wife who insists on scrubbing any marks out of it -- in lieu of the stainless layer on that line.This is not like the French copperwares with several millimiters thick copper and a tin or sterling silver lining.

From my experience, All-Clad is All-Clad and the main difference between the various lines is the color of the outside metal.The layers on a 5-layer pan are so thin I doubt they're appreciably different than 3 thicker layers.Whatever -- pick your color and enjoy a consistent, well-made stainless-lined pan.Pick out a Lodge cast iron pan and Le Creuset's enameled iron and you'll have a pan for almost every job.Forget the non-stick -- they're disposable.The pans (All-Clad) are the same but the lining is no better than the multitude.It lasts about a year in my kitchen and then it's toast.That's a shame because a stainless lined pan for the same cost should last a lifetime.

Culinary Institute of America Saut Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just recently replaced many of our Calphalon One aluminum anodized pans with All-Clad stainless line and copper core line since they all warpped badly and no longer stay flat to heat evenly on my flat top glass cooktop. We have been very happy about our new All-Clads, and were looking to replace our 9" Calphalon One chef's pan withh an All-Clad but couldn't find one in similar shape - their 8" are very shallow. It took me several days on-line research to come across CIA's Master line. Luckily we had a local store which carries CIA and had it reasonable priced. I bought the 8" pan and found it was as good as the All-Clad in all heating aspects and it was somewhat deeper all around in contrast to All-Clad's smaller fry pan. My wife is very happy about this purchase. We'd recommend CIA to whoever likes to give it a try.

All-Clad Stainless Paella Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received a few all clad products (the paella pan, sauce pan, and a fry pan) for graduation and they are excellent.Despite not being teflon, food doesn't seem to stick and clean up is easy.The handles don't get hot even though they're metal too (they do get a little warmish, so be careful just in case).I'm not sure if I'm supposed to or not, but I put them in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems.This specific pan is great for items like pasta w/ cheese and veggies.I love that it has a cover.The only drawback is the price.

Product Description:
Originally designed to meet the demands of professional chefs, All-Clad continues to be the undisputed choice in four-star kitchens throughout the world. The cookware has exquisite lines, impeccable balance, meticulous hand-finishing, and superior heat-conductivity. The cookware features a unique metal bonding construction in which a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum is sandwiched between an easy-to-clean, highly polished stainless steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware, eliminating hot spots when cooking. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish and allows it to be used on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as on induction cooktops. The paella pan has lots of surface area for sautéing and browning and depth for adding liquid, making this a pan for much more than paella. The two loop handles make it a wonderful piece to serve from at your table. The lid makes it convenient for transporting a meal intact and for keeping foods warm between servings.

Emerilware Stainless Steel Pasta Inserts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This item works as well as I expected it to.

Two notes for those thinking about buying this:

This insert is for the TALL 8 quart Emerilware stock pot, not for the short one that comes in the 14 piece set.(I had to go out and buy the tall pot so I could use this)

This insert will add about 3 inches to the top of your tall stock pot, so make sure you have clearance - I can only _just_ fit it on my stove, with lid on, because I've got an over-stove microwave oven and vent combo.

Mauviel Cuprinox Style 9.4-Inch Round Copper Frying Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I felt so guilty about spending the money on this when I first placed the order, and yet I was getting sick to death (perhaps literally) of Teflon pans, of skillets (even stainless steel ones) "Made in China" that seemed to impart weird flavors to my morning bacon and eggs, et al.The vague feelings of guilt persisted -- until the pan arrived and I started using it.This is wonderful cookware: it uses a substantially lower flame for cooking than other skillets I have, it cooks with amazingly even distribution of heat, and -- this was one of my biggest concerns -- it cleans very easily, I've experienced little difference between cleaning this and cleaning Teflon skillets.So, the comparable Teflon-coated skillet I once used has now been cheerfully tossed into the trash.True: few of us can afford a whole line of Mauviel Cuprinox, but really you should have at least one of these in your kitchen; I feel much safer cooking my food in it, and ultimately it's a lifetime investment.

Demeyere Proline 5 Star 11 Inch Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)You buy copper pans for heat transfer speed and the benefits of its resulting responsiveness to changes in heat. You buy other pans like Demeyere because they are easier to care for.

Ease of care is important to me, but so is performance. I wanted to find out for sure if the heat transfer differences were very substantial, so I bought a Falk 10.5 quart 11" stock pot and a Demeyere Atlantis 8.5 quart 9" stock pot. (Falk is 2.5mm brushed copper coated with a .008" thick stainless (not tin) lining. They are equivalent to high-end Mauviel or Bourgeat in technical respects, except that they have a brushed finish rather than a mirror polish.)

Starting with a room-temperature stove (in both tests) on a 15k BTU gas burner on high-heat, I timed how long it took to bring *equal* amounts of cold water (same temperature) to a rolling boil. Why a mundane test like boiling water? Because it's an ideal test of the pans' ability to transfer heat rapidly and efficiently. A pan that boils faster is also going to be more adept at quickly handling subtle temperature changes when melting sugar or carmelizing a mound of onions and garlic. A pan that boils water faster is also more energy efficient, which benefits you by not having to introduce as much heat into the kitchen to accomplish the same cooking task (and consequently, to use energy to remove that heat with an air condition during summer months).

The Demeyere took 26 minutes to reach a rolling boil.
The Falk took 19.5 minutes to reach a rolling boil (about 25% faster).

The Falk was extremely responsive to temperature changes. Cutting the heat ceased the boiling within 5-10 seconds.

The Demeyere responded to a heat cut in 8-15 seconds or longer. Restoring the heat resulted in similar lags in returning the pots to full boil. Copper was certainly the more nimble and you could see how a responsive it would be for sautéing or cutting the heat in the event the pan got too hot.

The only real shortcoming in that particular test was that I was comparing an 11" pan to a 9" pan. The broader surface area of the Falk would certainly cause it to absorb more heat and boil water faster. So I also compared an 11" Falk fry pan and an 11" Demeyere fry pan, boiling approximately 4 cups of cold water on a cold stove in both cases.

Again, the Falk won the contest, boiling water approximately 4 minutes faster than the Demeyere fry pan, all things being equal. This size-for-size comparison was as fair as I could make it. If you're looking for cooking responsiveness and rapid boiling, copper's the only game in town.

I ended up keeping the Falk pans and returning the Demeyeres to Sur la Table. For me, the ability to sauté on lower heat; boil water faster; or quickly "rescue" food that's getting too hot (by cutting the heat and obtaining a rapid cool-down) outweighed the benefits of being able to throw the pan in the dishwasher.

The Demeyeres are wonderful pans - beautiful and easy to care for. If you have an induction stove, I'd go with them because copper would require an ugly (and hot) iron lug to be placed underneath the pan. If you have gas, copper is certainly a more nimble metal when it comes to heat responsiveness. The Falks I bought cleaned nicely with Bar Keeper's Friend.

The Demeyere has a brighter silver finish on the inside which I found shows tiny hairline scratches caused by Bar Keeper's Friend (or the green Scotchbrite pad) - whereas the Falk's stainless interior was immune to such scratching.

Both brands are heavy, but Falk is heaviest - some people complain about the weight of copper pans but I think it's just whining to complain about a 5-8lb weight of a pan (it's not that heavy once you get used to it).

Sitram Catering 11-Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was surprised at the weight of this pan; I have been a devotee of "Calaphon" for over 20 years.I am starting to convert to stainless little by little.I have some Cuisinart that is also very good, but I like this better.
The handles are angled up which keeps them out of the way and lets them clear other pans on the stove if you have a major cooking project going.The handle also has a gap where it is welded to the pan which lets fluids drain down rather than collect in a pocket.It can make your stove a little messier, but it is easier to keep the pan clean.
The interior is silky smooth and requires just a small amount of oil to keep food from sticking.The recommend that you use non-metalic utensils to keep from scratching it.The heavy layer of copper bonded between two layers of stainless on the bottom works great to distribute heat accross the pan.The side are a single layer of heavy stainless, so they do not get hot and cause food to burn on.
This pan is very well made and should last for a lifetime.

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful pan.I own and enjoy many pieces of the cast iron from Le Creuset.However, I prefer stainless steel.I was very happy when they came out with a stainless steel line by Le Creuset.This pan is a nice size for a family of four.I only gave it 4 stars because it would have been nice to have a lid.Otherwise it is a great pan.

All-Clad Stainless Large Paella Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I absolutely love this pan. I use it on my regular stove's larger burner and it fits nicely. You can really load up this pan. I fry steaks in it and I get a really nice hot sear. It fits 3 average size rib eye's nicely with room for onions. This All-Clad line works nicely with an induction burner as well. Although it's not an every day pan, i love to use it when applicable and it's also a really nice presenation piece.

All-Clad MC2 Nonstick Fry Pans Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ongoing debate over cookware at my house is over:All-Clad is the best cookware overall and is worth the extra money.Our coppers tarnish and require retinning.Our encapsulated disk cookware (Reverere and Farberware) suffer from loose and broken plastic handles and too-small disks which limit the cooking area of the fry pans.The biggest debate was between Calphalon and All-Clad LTD nonstick models.My wife really liked the lighter weight of Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick line.After living for both for several years, All-Clad has shown its overall superiority in the following ways:
1) Durability.The non-stick finish All-Clad uses wears like iron.The Calphalon's finish shows many more scratches and blisters.
2) Denser anodized finish.The All-Clad LTD finish is much denser and more even that that on Calphalon.This makes it more attractive and easier to clean.On the MC2 stuff the finish is not anodized, but it is tightly frosted and well made.It's quite attractive too.I've started to accumulate MC2 stuff because it's cheaper and performs just as well.The LTD stuff does look better on a rack mixed with Calphalon.It's tough to beat black aesthetically.
3) Greater heat sensitivity.You actually cook with the stove set to a lower temperature with All-Clad.It appears to register changes more quickly.Both types of pan are good in this reguard - but the All-Clad is noticeably better.

As a fry pan, the All-Clad MC2 12" fry pan hits on all cylinders.It's big enough for a 4 egg omlette, or most of pound of bacon.It's battleship built, well balanced, even heating with great sensitivity.The handle stays cool and is angled so that you can lift the heavy contents without undue strain on your wrist.The nonstick finish is effective and tough as nails.The MC2 finish is durable and very attractive.Ultimately I'm more partial to the LTD finish because it matches well with other anodized aluminum cookware - and you can clean it very effectively with Ajax.The MC2 finish will yellow a bit over time.Real chefs just let it get brown. It looks like real cookware.In any case, exterior aesthetics don't relate to cooking performance.

Update on the MC2 finish:after using it for months and letting it get nice and brown I tried cleaning it with the 3M scrubby and Ajax/Comet cleanser I use with the LTD finish and it worked like a charm on the MC2.Just make a nice paste and power away the burnt on grease in moments leaving a nice buffy shine.Don't worry about scratches - the MC2 finish is a fine patina of minute scratches anyway!It looks great and is basically indestructible.

What's a kitchen without a fry pan? This humble piece of cookware is probably used more often than any other. So if that's the case, it only makes sense to invest in one that will stand up to frequent use. Eggs and bacon in the morning, a grilled cheese or sauteed veggies for lunch, burgers or chicken breasts for dinner, day in and day out All-Clad offers superior performance. The new MC2 cookware combines the industrial style of a brushed aluminum exterior with gleaming stainless steel stay cool handles. A non-stick interior speeds up cleaning and allows you to cook with minimal to no fat.

All-Clad Master Chef 2 14-Inch Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have several All-Clad pans that are stainless steel exterior and interior. This is the only one that I have that's stainless interior and aluminum exterior. Even though it's the largest diameter pan I have, heat is distributed more evenly than the others, and food sticks much less. However, if you have a ceramic sink, you'll wind up with gray marks wherever the pan moves against it. The marks come out, but not easily. Otherwise, the pan is great.
