Be sure to determine optimum heat setting on your cooktop.

It is critical to identify the optimum heat setting on your gas cooktop. Once you have determined that the pan performs perfectly. Too hot and the pan makes food stick or burn. Too cold and noting cooks well. We have 7 other copper core pans and this one is a welcome addition.

Stainless steel quality not what you pay for

I own a WMF stainless steel sauce pan from 1990, a Calphalon stainless steel from 2008 which warped, so my husband recommended All-CLAD and gave it to me as an anniversary gift. It was expensive and not worth the quality of the steel. The WMF stainless pan "runs" (not sticky, nice even cooking). Even the Calphalon stainless steel quality is better although the pan is slightly warped. I season my stainless pans - all 3 the same and I can't say the quality of All-CLAD stainless steel is what you pay for. It's a medium quality pan for a really high price tag.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful comparison and your honest feedback. We understand how disappointing it can be when a premium cookware piece doesn’t meet expectations, especially when it’s a special gift. Performance and consistency matter, and your perspective is valuable to us. If you’d like to discuss this further or have your pan reviewed, our All‑Clad USA customer service team is available at 1‑800‑255‑2523 and would be glad to assist.

Cheap construction lamination fails on conductive stoves

Not suitable for use on conductive stoves the heat from a conductive stove will warp these pans very easily

Mr.

A well-made pan, but very difficult to clean. After frying potatoes in olive oil, residual food stuck to the pan and after 30 minutes of scrubbing, still is not clean. This is a lot of money to spend for this much frustration.

Best Christmas Present Ever

My husband was over the moon getting the pan he had been hoping for. He uses it about every day.

Disappointed.

We have a lot of stainless steel pan and non of them have warped. We have a lot of experience dealing with them, avoiding thermal shock, not heating them too fast on the stovetop, etc. This pan lasted 2 or 3 use until it warped outward becoming concave and needing to be pressed against the stovetop as it cooks to get an even heat on the surface, which effectively makes it unusable. This kind of pan is probably more recommended for gas stovetop and not electric/glass stovetops.
