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.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 5-Quart Chicken Fryer with Iron Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Being the proud owner of several other Lodge cooking vessels, I boldly tried my hand at frying.All I can say is wow.
The chicken fryer works wonders on chicken, veal, and cube steak.All of the cast iron properties come in to play when using the fryer, and it provides the control and the stability needed when frying foods.The heavy weight gives it stability, and the heat retention properties mean that you can control your cooking efforts more efficiently.
Try the fryer, you won't be disapointed!

Product Description:
Lodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, but now the company adds another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. All Lodge Logic cookware, including this 5-quart chicken fryer, comes preseasoned via a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system and is ready for cooking right out of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in your home oven before use. During the timesaving preseasoning process, oil penetrates deeply into the cast-iron surface while a high-temperature gas oven seals it in, preserving the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.
The chicken fryer measures 12 inches in diameter and 3-1/4 inches deep--an ideal size for not only frying poultry, but also making casseroles, enchiladas, and pan sauces. The vessel is deeper than most skillets, and delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention is especially ideal for slow-cooking recipes that call for tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. In addition, the underside of the iron lid contains several self-basting tips that encourage the condensed juices to continually remoisten the food, keeping the contents succulent and tasty. With proper care, Lodge Logic cast-iron cookware will last a lifetime. Lodge recommends hand washing the fryer, which carries a lifetime warranty, with a stiff brush and hot water.

Tramontina Pro 3004 12 in Saute Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a beautiful and very well built nonstick frying pan.It has nice thick aluminum and a solid looking Teflon surface.But it has one serious design problem:the handle is so thick, long, and heavy that when placed on an electric burner---the large as well as small ones---the handle makes the pan tip, so that most of the bottom of the pan isn't even contacting the heating element.If you pour in an egg or batter at this point, it will flow to one side.

If you have one of those completely flat stove tops, or a gas range with a 12" wide support frame, the pan should be able to lie flat.But the handle is so long, it is hard to keep it out of the way of other burners or things on your counter top.

If this pan had a 2" shorter handle, it would be really superb.

Since the silicone handle cover over the aluminum handle is removable, if you just HAVE to have this pan---and you own a metal saw--- you could saw 2 inches off the handle, and be in bliss.Or, more practically, you could hook some counterweight to the edge opposite the handle and keep it flat on the burner that way.

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).

Matfer Bourgeat Black Steel Frying Pan, 11" dia. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought this pan and have used it and I'm very happy with it.First, this pan is HEAVY and solidly built.The quality is excellent--for example, the rim is nicely finished and the spot welds securing the handle will last forever.The steel is very thick, at least twice the thickness of an American made Vollrath steel fry pan that I own.

I fried a couple of steaks and this pan really retains the heat.You don't have to crank up the heat to cook a steak in this pan.

I highly recommend this pan.The merchant packaged it carefully and it arrived very quickly.

Product Description:
The traditional French black steel fry pan is amazingly strong and durable, an excellent heat conductor suitable with all types of heat sources. The flat 10" iron handle is solidly fixed with spot welds, and arced, French style, for convenience and grip. Steel pans achieve and maintain both very low and very high temperatures and are thermal shock resistant, making them highly effective and versatile in the kitchen. A steel pan lasts forever. They are lighter than a cast-iron pan and won't break, scratch or peel. Carbon steel pans will change color under heat and over time - this is normal. Steel pans are suitable with all heat sources, including induction. Steel Pans are NOT dishwasher safe. Care for your Matfer fry pan by washing in hot water without soap, and wipe immediately with a paper towel. Oil lightly, if you wish, and store in a dry place. Steel pans should be re-seasoned after intensive cleaning. Seasoning the pan is simple, following the manufacturers Instructions. Dimensions: 11" x 2"

Innova Kitchen Basics 18/10 Stainless Steel 10-Inch open Fry Pan with Non-Stick Interior Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pan is not quite as heavy as I like, but it works very well in the kitchen.It distributes heat well, the non-stick surface is sturdy (for such coatings--it still wears out), and the rounded inner surface (with no rivets) makes it very convenient to move the food.While many good pans have very sturdy handle attachments using rivets, the rivets make the food catch or stick--this pan avoids this problem.

Henckels Classic Clad Fry pan without Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, note there is no lid included, as the illustrations in the product description might lead you to believe.
This is a big pan, and if you fry things in big batches (I like to make spaghetti sauce in 4 gallon batches, with a proportionate amount of hamburger frying), this works great.It heats evenly and cleans easily, and the quality is top-drawer.When you cook eggs, the ones on the outside of the pan cook at the same rate as the one in the middle, something you don't get with all frying pans.
On the downside, the handle is very heavy.So when you sit it on the stove to preheat (empty), it overbalances to the handle side, rather than sitting flat on the burner.And a pan this size could use a ring, or grip, on the side opposite the handle, as many other pans have.When you have 2 or 3 lbs of hamburger inside, and want to drain the fat, it's trick balancing things with just the single handle.
I did some digging, and couldn't find anything better for the price, so I'm willing to live with the shortcomings.They are annoying but not deal-breakers.Until something better comes along, this is a good buy.

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.

de Buyer Mineral Pan, Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased the 8" and 14" pans to replace a couple cast iron fry pans my daughter took to college. (Note that these pans are measured by their diameter across the top lip.)First off, I love these pans.They have significant thermal mass, the included directions got them moving the the right direction getting seasoned and non-stick.These pans are closer to carbon-steel than stainless.You will need to treat them like your cast-iron cookware.Bottoms are flat and smooth, which is nice if you have a glass-topped electric range.The one area that I have very mixed feelings about are the handles.I like the angle the handle is set in relation to the pan.I think it helps keep it cool, out of the way, and can even be used for a little extra leverage with the larger plans.In spite of that, the handle poses one limitation.... the ability to use the pan under a broiler.... The 8" pan's handle sits 4 inches above the cook surface.This one just fits into my broiler.But the handle will be very close to the heating elements/flame and so will get very hot.The handle on the 14" pan sits 7 inches above the cooking surface.This will work in my broiler only if I leave the broiler door open.I have worked with commercial stoves which don't have doors on the broiler compartment and I think these pans would work without limitation in that situation....Myself?I will use them with the broiler door open....
