All-Clad Copper Core 5-ply Bonded Fry Pan, 12 inch

Cons: 1. The empty pan is heavy on the hand and wrist when preparing food. 2. I spend more time cleaning the pan than cooking with it. It is very sticky even with proper oiling, heating, and care. 3. The extra high price. 4. The All-clad customer service guy had an obnoxious attitude when I called t...

This is my very first steel pan. I have always used the non-stick variety. I had no idea how much the proper cooking techniques between the two varied so considerably. If you don't follow proper technique for cooking on a steel pan, then this pan can be a source of food stickiness hell. EVERYTHING w...

The build quality is decent. The copper core is more gimicky than anything. You'll sitll need a non-stick if you plan to cook an egg. It's a pain to clean-not really an issue if you have a small family w/ few dishes, but if you have a pile every night, it gets to be a chore spending a great deal of ...

A picture is worth a thousand words. Seemed like it was going to be a great pan, then one week of light use later and there is chipping on the outer layer, exposing copper. Part of the reason I payed top dollar for this was the espoused durability. I didn't want to have to worry about everyone else ...

This is a follow-up to an earlier review on this purchase of an All-Clad, copper core 8" fry pan. Despite the fact that the item had unusual (for All-Clad) finishing marks around the rim of the pan, the excellent price on the item easily offset the aesthetic issue. In my earlier review I commented t...

Pros: This is a well made good looking durable fry pan. It should remain so for many years. It cooks well heats evenly. It cleans at least as well as comparable stainless steel fry pans. It is relatively non-reactive with most acidic (e.g. tomato or citrus) and alkaline foods (e.g. beans or lentils)...

Switched to Allclad 5d copper pans after moving into my new apartment. The copper ones definitely superior in terms of heat distribution and fast in heating up the content. After 4 years of cooking, they still look like new, with just soap and occasionally using Bar Keepers Friends for burns. ( it h...

I treat my pots and pans like my children. I've had plenty of cookware last me two decades. Unfortunately, the bottom of this pan is more scuffed up within one week than my other pots and pans are after half a decade. I'm not sure what they did (or didn't) do to the bottom of the pan to have this ha...

I just bought this and a 3 layer All-Clad saute'. The copper is super heavy, but perfect for an 8 inch. The temp stability should be fantastic, and I'm not picky about the stainless getting a bit stained the way a lot of reviews are. This this thing seems like it will last until archeologists dig me...

I ordered the 12 inch model and it came with the extra helper handle. I don't like helper handles and it would have been nice to know about before spending this much money. With that being said I won't be sending it back because of how well it works. I've spent way more than the price of this pan on...
