D3® Stainless Steel 12 inch Frying Pan With Lid- Made in the USA- The Original Bonded Professional Cookware- Oven Safe & Induction Compatible

Ok. Lets deal with some proverbial elephants first shall we... 1. If you know anything about cooking you should know this is NOT a nonstick Pan. Unless a Pan is coated with something in some way it won’t be a nonstick Pan. Adding fat of some kind is what you would do to make this pan “nonstick”. ;-) 2. If you put an empty pan of any kind on a stove that is too hot it will warp your pan. This is not uncommon but it is also avoidable. Personally I just heat it up on medium heat just long enough that I know whatever I throw in will get a good sizzle. Then if I need to I’ll crank up the heat. 3. If you do your research and read the directions of care you will find it is very easy to care for. 4. Scratches on the bottom of your pan are inevitable. Your cooking. No matter what you buy wear and tear is a definite thing. 5. Unless you use a metallic scrubby you will always have some discoloration inside the pan. Honestly tho. Unless it’s actual food or burnt on pieces that’s seasoning your pan. It can be a good thing. Ok. Now that that’s out of the way here’s my review. I LOVE THIS THING!!! I have been in the process of replacing my kitchen with high quality kitchen tools and this is one of my favorites! It heated and cooked evenly and the fond was Exceptional! (Fond is the beautiful seasoning and meat pieces that are stuck to the pan left behind by a good sear. It’s not burnt and makes wonderful sauces simply add a little broth or fluid and scrape the pieces off.) Additionally I went from stovetop to oven with no problem and no warping. Handle stayed cool on stovetop but just remember to use your potholders after removing it from the oven. The handle stays hot for a while. ;-) (yes I forgot and had a nice burn on my hand. Lol) still. Great addition and plan on replacing my whole kitchen with them!

I had bought a cheap stainless steel pan at Fred meyers for $30 and thought it was a hell if a pan. I’ve had cast iron my entire life (still have and use). This pan showed me how great stainless steel is. I decided I needed a fully clad pan with a lid and my research led me to this pan. Just got it in today and after the first wash I went straight to cooking my meal prep of choice for the week, ground beef and cabbage. The pan blew me away, much better than expected! The clean up was amazingly quick and smooth. Shines like new. I use bar keepers friend after a dawn scrub with a scrub daddy. I am all in on All-Clad and will begin building my new collection. Definitely get this pan if you’re wanting to invest in a high quality amazing pan you’ll have for life. Couldn't be happier. I have a new knock out gift for loved ones. Thanks All-Clad for such a great product.

This is top quality. You can see American Test Kitchen cook with these pans and consumer reports ranks them high. I have several All Clad but this 12 inch pan is my best all around cooking tool I have and I have non stick, cast iron, carbon steel and aluminum pans from different companies. If I could only have one this is it. Its stainless so very versatile. More versatile than cast iron and easier to take care of. more durable than ceramic coated cast iron, cooks more evenly than cast iron and carbon steel so much so its not even close. If you cook anything with acid or wines in carbon steel or cast iron, it will take your coating/seasoning off that you built up. Stainless steel All Clad with the layers doesn't have that issue and it browns just as well and cooks more even. And with this pan with the right techniques, it can be nearly as nonstick as nonstick pans....not as much so, but don't have to worry about toxins in your food or scratching it while turning the food. Some complain about the comfort of the All Clad handles, dont even get me started. The handles are made to be safe, not be a pair of comfy shoes or a flannel sheets or silk underwear....the handles are designed to grip you hands with hot food and liquids even if your hands are slippery, BY FAR...the most functional handles in the market. 1. Quality construction 2. Superior design and materials 3. Versatile 4. even cooking 5. durable, will pass from generations 4. AMERICAN MADE!!!!

As advertised. Good value, fast shipping. I've always liked All Clad cookware for it's quality and durability. I've used this pan several times now. It heats evenly and with the use of a little Olive Oil, requires very little effort to clean. Most of the food residue can simply be wiped off with a paper towel. Note: Don't buy the All Clad Non-Stick. The durability of the non-stick coating did not hold up. I bought the All Clad D3 as a replacement. The All Clad D3 works much better than the so called "Non Stick".

This is by far the best pan I’ve ever owned. This pan is non stick as long as you preheat the pan and still looks new even after using it multiple times a day every day for over a year. I would absolutely buy this pan again and recommend it to anyone looking for good cookware.

I bought this pan for use everyday for both breakfast and dinner, based on a recommendation from Cook's Illustrated. Once again, they've steered me right. Heating in this pan is very even, and it's a great weight. I do wish the handle were at a better angle for use by those of us on the short side - the angle makes it a little awkward to pick up the pan, so a curved handle would have been better. I also wish it had a grab handle on the opposite side, since this is a LARGE pan to maneuver. That all said, I'll definitely be buying the 10" version of this pan to add to my arsenal. A note for those who are finding food still sticks with this pan: I had the same problem when I first used it, despite following all the instructions. With some research (and considerable trial and error), I learned that: 1) I need to use a MUCH lower heat with this pan than my old, cheap pans. Now I'm turning the gas to 3-4, where I used to turn it to 6 or 7. Of course, it depends which burner I use, since I've got one of those ranges with different sizes - but better to start lower and add heat than try to go the other way. 2) I preheat it BRIEFLY before adding my oil and/or butter. I find that 30-60 seconds is about right, then butter/oil for another 45 seconds, then I get a perfect, easy-release omelette (without teflon!). 3) If I get oil discolorations on this, it's because the pan was too hot or too big for what I'm cooking. 4) Oil discolorations can be removed with Barkeeper's Friend. If a simply scouring doesn't work, I make a paste of the powder and water, and let it sit for up to an hour. Make sure to use gloves if you use this cleaner, since the acid can cause irritation. Overall, I'm very happy with this pan and can't go back to my old ones, even the professional nonstick types.

This is a great pan.i can use it in the oven also. It is easy to clean and is just the right size for preparing a dish for five.It's a good weight,not heavy like cast iron but medium in weight .

I have been using this pan for awhile now and it is exactly as advertised. I love not worrying about bad chemicals and micro pieces of pan getting into my food. It is not scary if you know how to cook with it. There truly is a reason restaurants use stainless steel for all their cooking and we should do it at home as well. I love finishing meals off in the oven and broiling to get that cheese top bubbling just right. I have a small handle cover that works great to keep it cool and easy to hold. The only thing I did wrong was buy the smaller size. I wish I got the bigger one so I could make larger meals too but eventually I'll buy the big boy too. For a family of 2, this pan can handle most of our meals but when I want to make big batches with leftovers, it's a little too small. The pan feels super sturdy and strong like it will last forever. I don't use metal utensils anymore because I did at first but noticed small dinks in the surface. Probably from the metal even though it "can" be used. I'll stick to high-end rubber or wood for now. Cleaning is so easy, check the internet for tips but adding a little water to the hot pan to scrape it up works well or simply scrubbing with soap. When it gets stains or spots, I hit it with bar keepers friend them give it a really good soap and hot water scrub because personally I don't want any trace of barkeeper's on there but that's just me being over protective. After a cleaning with barkeeper's it comes out looking brand new. I've made scrambled eggs, tatortot breakfast hotdish, fries eggs, chicken, steak, shrimp, pork chops, and so much more. Best pan I've ever gotten. Don't settle for thin or knockoff stainless, pay more now, never regret it later

I was very reluctant to switch from a non-stick pan to this one, but now I have no regrets. Using a very hot pan with just a little oil did the trick. I use it almost every day.

I did a lot of research before ordering this and the D3 is a far better value than the D5. Overall, this outperforms it and also does in the pricing category too! Clean up is simple using "Bar Keepers Friend". You can make this pan pretty much non-stick by following this easy technique: 1) put pan on Med/High heat for a minute or two 2) flick a few drops of water into the pan, if it rolls around like mercury droplets, it is hot enough. 3) remove from heat for 30 seconds or so 4) put high heat oil (Canola or Avocado) onto thickly folded paper towel and rub all over pan surface (if smoke starts, let cool a little longer) 5) once coated, turn down heat to Med and put pan back and add 1-2tbsp more of same oil. You should now be able to cook and food will not stick. Clean up is a breeze! I love this Alclad pan!!

Told myself it wasn't worth the money. It is- needs very little heat and disperses it across the cooking surface magnificently. Needs you to learn how to get the best from stainless cookware (and maybe a spot of toothpaste to restore the gleam!)

Hervorragend Pfanne. Seit der Anschaffung fast täglich in Gebrauch. Hält die Wärme hervorragend, Dank der speziellen Edelstahl-Machart und Dank eines hervorragend sitzenden Deckels. Man muss nur wissen dass Bratgut hier "ansetzt". Das ist normal, da es keine "beschichtete" Pfanne ist. Daher: Für Bratkartoffeln wie auch für Eierspeisen NICHT geeignet, dafür aber für Gemüse- und Reispfannen die man mit etwas Flüssigkeit "ablöscht" und dann mit geschlossenem Deckel fertig gart. Dabei Achtung: Die Garzeit immer gut überwachen! Sehr vieles - speziell Gemüse - ist viel schneller gar als man denkt!

Best stainless pan i have tried so far
