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.

Chefmate® Jumbo Cooker 12" Fry Pan with Glass Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the size of this pan but it simply will not heat! I cooked pancakes in it and they would not brown. I deep fat fried okra and it took 45 min. on high till they browned and were so tough they were difficult to chew. Almost burned my stove up. I never cook anything on high heat! Tried to fry bacon in it. Wouldn't do anything. I switched pans and it immediately started sizzling. I do not recommend this pan!

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).

Sitram Profiserie 11-Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned this pan [ASIN:B00004SACZ Sitram Profiserie 11-Inch Commercial Stainless Steel Fry Pan] over 10 years.It is extraordinary and once we got used to the characteristics of stainless steel cookware would not go back.We have never had any regrets about the purchase.

Recently we noticed the stainless steel on the bottom was pulling away from the aluminum layer.Since I had just selected and ordered a new Sitram copper bottomed Saute pan for a request from my wife, I decided to email Sitram to ask how to have it repaired, and offered to send a picture.They asked for the picture and I sent it.

The response was that the problem was covered under the limited lifetime warranty.The replacement arrived today.

The original has provided extraordinary, daily service and both my wife and I are extremely pleased.The Sitram response by replacing the original pan was more than expected.

We don't see any reason not to continue supporting Sitram products.I don't see how we could expect more.The products are our favorites, and the backup to the warranty was more than I expected.

Best regards,

Tom C

Viking 7-Ply Stainless 9-1/2 Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this expensive stainless steel fry pan because the non stick ones I have all have scratched in hardly any time at all, despite using only wooden spoons or nylon spatulas, and we do not like the idea of eating toxic non stick coating in our organic food.

We received this 9 1/2 inch Viking fry pan yesterday from MetroKitchen.com - ordered through Amazon.We very carefully followed the manufacturer's directions for washing and drying and then for seasoning the pan and again washing and drying it.

This morning I thought I put plenty of oil in the pan, preheated it per the manufacturer's instructions, then added chopped onions and mushrooms and then the beaten eggs when the veggies were partly cooked.I used medium low heat and covered the pan.

When the omelet was done it would NOT come out of the pan.It took a couple of minutes of hard scraping with a nylon spatula to get what was now a SCRomelet out and onto our plates.Good thing we didn't have company because it tasted great but looked completely awful.

After soaking the pan for about a half hour and washing it repeatedly with hot soapy water and a nylon scrub pad there were still whiteish spots in the bottom.Only after adding half vinegar and half water and soaking it again did the spots come out.Now it looks bright and shiny again, but so MUCH work!

I reseasoned the pan using instructions from a different web site and am hoping that the next time I use it the results will be better.

I have also written a review of the Viking 8 piece set which we purchased from Amazon at the same time.You might want to read that review to find out about what looks to me like Viking's non existent customer service for their "lifetime warranty".

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.

Revere 2000 Line 3-Quart Covered Saucepan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for another 3-quart saucepan to replace the Revere Ware 3-qt saucepan that was left on the stove too long and I could not get the burnt-on rice completely off the inside bottom of the pan, even after days of scrubbing and using many different forms of cleaning techniques and scrubbies (any suggestions on another method, please let me know).
Now about this 3-qt. Saucepan:
When it arrived, I was at first surprized by how light in weight the package was.When I opened up the inner Revere Ware box, the pan looked similar to the original I bought 15 years ago which was then made in the USA.I turned the saucepan over and it says:"3qt/2.85 L. REVERE WARE e07S INDONESIA".Indonesia?I knew then why it was so much lighter in weight than the Revere Ware I purchased 15 yrs ago.This appears to be another example of a US company moving to a more cost-effective production site overseas;though obviously the product is inferior in quality, compared to what was made by Revere Ware USA.I write this so that you are aware before you buy this product, that if you are expecting it to be the same as Revere Ware made in the USA, you will be sadly disappointed as I was.I will say it was packed well, arrived in a timely manner, and is very shiny.I used it tonight to cook part of our dinner, and I will say, it did a good job, but, if you want a good quality-built pan, you may try All-Clad or Gourmet Standard Tri-Ply as recommended by America's Test Kitchen Equipment Corner.

Farberware Millennium Soft Touch 12-Piece Cookware Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been looking for a set to suppliment my Cuisinart set (3+years) for a while. After looking at samples at Target, I have decided on the Farberware Millennium and one day Amazon had a great price.
Right now Farberware is selling at $129 and Cuisinart 10 pieces at $109 with a muffan pan and tool set rebate.
Both are great sets, but here's the difference.
Farberware's silicone wrapped handle feels better than Cusinart, although cusinart's handle does not heat up in cooking either.
Farberware's lid, again with wrapped handle, is definitely better than Cusinart's. Both lids heat up and you will appreciate the silicone wrap.
Cuisinart has a great mirror finish inside and out; Farberware's finish outside is not as brilliant, inside is almost a matte finish.
Stainless steel is not truely non-stick. The better you keep the mirror finish, the more stick resistant they are. I've had the Cusinart for a long time and it held up really well (no abrasive cleaning). I may have to come back and update you on the non-stick nature of Farberware, but so far so good.
The Farberware Millennium is more modern and expensive looking especially with the graphite colored silicone handles. The Millennium' edges also fare better because they are more rounded and your dishwasher will be happier with it.
If they are selling at the same price, I'd go for Farberware Millennium.
