All-CladD3 3-Ply Stainless Steel Fry Pan Set 2 Piece, 10, 12 Inch, Induction Oven Broiler Safe 600F, Kitchen Cooking Set, Skillets, Durable Frying Pans, Professional Pots and Pans Set Cookware Silver

These are excellent everyday pans. I am already in love with them for how sturdy they are vs how light weight they are. They feel great in your hands. They will last a lifetime. Just read the instructions on the All-Clad site. Turns out they know a thing or two about operating their own product :).Easy to clean up your mistakes. For those with ugly pic of their mistakes there is lots of great information in the instructions. I already made a huge mistake and burned oil onto the pan. Sticky layer that would not come up with soap and water. This is where BarKeeper's Friend comes in handy (for all those newbies complaining about cleaning up their mistakes.)

I bought the 7.5 inch skillet. I am so glad I got it. The cooking bottom is bigger then the 8 inch skillet but the top diameter is smaller.I like the 8 inch skillet for cooking an egg, because of its smaller bottom cooking size. Using both, I can cook and egg in the 8 inch skillet and cook a smaller steak in the 7.5 inch skillet.update: Today when I cooked my egg, I used 4 the whole time. It worked great and was faster. Less than a minute after adding the egg, I tried giving a little movement to the egg. And it was fun to see it move around in the pan. I love this pan.I got this 8 inch skillet yesterday and tried it this morning cooking an egg sunny side up. It worked so nice.My stove is electric. I put it on a small burner and tuned it on 4. Let it get hot for several minutes. Tried putting a few drops of water after a few minutes and when it seemd hot enough. I then turned it down to 3 and I added a little bit of butter. Enough to slightly coat around the pan. I let it get hot and put in my egg. I had cracked it into a dish earlier and let it sit out to get a little warmer.It seems like everywhere says to let the food you cook come to as close to room temp as possible.I added the egg and after it turned white it released from the pan as nice as my ceramic skillet ever did. I could swirl it around.The clean up was easy. Let it cool off, put it in the sink with some soap and water and it came really clean. I did use a little Bar Keeprs Friend for Cookware and a plain sponge because I have hard water where I live.I am really happy. Its not hard to learn how to cook with stainless steel, its just different. U tube videos help.

After reading the reviews and complaints about how food sticks I also considered the positive reviews of which there are plenty. If you notice on TV, all of the good cooks use stainless and if you're not getting good results it's because you don't know how to cook with them. All-Clad is considered the best by chefs and there's a reason for that. Not all stainless steel pans are the same and there are plenty of videos that demonstrate why All-Clad is superior. I educated myself on the construction and watched a few YouTube videos on how to cook with stainless steel and how to care for them. In some pictures it's obvious that some people have been cooking their food at too high of a temperature and not using enough butter or oil because I noticed that the bottom of their pan looked like it started to turn blue - a sign of heat stress. I like how the pan has very good distribution of heat due to its thicker bottom. This helps it maintain a constant temperature and ensures a good searing for meat. I made an omelette with it and was able to get the same exact light amber browning that you get in a good restaurant - and without it sticking to the pan. I gave the pan three stars because it's not quick to clean like Teflon and I have to spend a few minutes cleaning it. And yes, the pan will stain but this is remedied by using a good cleanser. I used Comet with sponge and a little water since the label says it's safe on stainless steel. Just don't leave it on for an extended period. With a little rubbing it cleaned the stains off, including the light scorch marks from the burner. A good rule of thumb is to never use high heat on it or any pan, especially Teflon, and never soak it when it's hot or else it will warp. Yes, the pan is very expensive (made in the USA) but it will last a lifetime with proper care and is a great bargain when you consider the cost of replacing Teflon pans over twenty years or more.

My 10 inch pan came faster than Amazon even predicted. The box was packed inside a box. The pan is simply gorgeous and looks, feels, and performs superbly. I cant imagine a fry pan being better and there are some tests on YouTube and Consumer Reports that backs it up. I have gotten away from all NON STICK coatings, cant be good for you and if those coatings eventually wear down, that means some of it is also in your food. I now prefer to cook in non-coated pans but it amazes me that people that criticize the pan because something sticks or how its harder to clean than a non-stick pan. Its the nature of the design like complaining how a sand pillow is not as soft as a feather pillow. I really dont have those issues now that I have learned how to cook and clean them and that was not hard.I love the design of the handle which is different. When you first touch it you think it may not be as comfortable as some others...and its not But the number one purpose of the handle is to allow me to safely handle a hot pan and its contents when I need to and that is where the handle design is superior to others. The design never gets hot but what really impressed me is how the design feels more secure in my hand from spinning even if my hands have water or oils on them. Its more secure of a grip than my other pans. For my style of cooking this pan work great because I can go from stove top to the oven and then the broiler and the pan can take it and deliver! This is now my go to pan.The other HUGE thing for me with this pan...is that it is made in the USA and that matter to me. I will slowly replace all my cookware with All-Clad due to looks, performance and origin. I no longer can blame my pan LOL
