All-Clad

This pan is perfect for eggs, omelets, pancakes, french toast, hash browns, home fries, grilled cheese, etc. It heats evenly leaving food picture perfect. In addition, it heats up quick. Cleanup is effortless. You always get what you pay for.

There's this thing about regular All-Clad cookware as opposed to non-stick: the more you use it the more you like it. Once you understand that with properly made cookware you don't need so called "non-stick" coatings, you are in on the secret. Which is that non-stick coatings are essentially a sales gimmick. All that aside, the All-Clad 9" French is an essential piece of cookware. It is versatile. Case in point: the skillet can be used to brown meats, after which you put on the lid, and you have a stovetop braiser. Also you can saute veggies in oil, then add liquids, put on the domed lid, and steam to doneness. Tip: always use Barkeeper's Friend when you need to clean the surface back to shiny-shiny. Bottom line, take 10 minutes to learn proper browning and saute techniques, and you can kiss non-stick good-bye!

Beautiful pot. Works great. Exactly what I would expect from All-Clad. I have only had it for a few weeks, but this pot is performing beautifully. I put it in the dishwasher (as I do with all my pots and pans), and it still looks great. I think it is wide and shallow for a stock pot, but my husband LOVES the shape and he is our primary cook.

This is a great pan at a great price. We got an induction range earlier this year and have been improving our pan collection. I thought 13 might be large so I passed on it at local stores. After using 10 and 12 inch pans for a couple of months, I found I wanted one this size. Am very pleased with its performance and the price. Shipping was very fast.

Good quality, versatile pan. We use it for paninis, quesadillas, and stove-top grilling of vegetables and meats. Super-easy and quick to clean. Would buy this again.

A great product. Great for so many uses. I'm planning to buy my second one. Also will invest in a quart one also. Versatile. Sauces, risotto, etc. great when reducing liquids also.

As if All-Clad's reputation wasn't good enough already, I was even more excited to buy these bowls after reading Zappos "About the Brand" which told me they were made in the good ol' U.S.A. "All-Clad Metalcrafters is the only bonded cookware manufacturer who utilizes American craftsmen and American-made metals to produce a complete line of beautifully finished bonded cookware products." Now VERY disappointed to find the "Made in China" label on the box upon receiving it this morning. How could you sell out?! I don't buy All-Clad because of its price point; I buy because they LAST. I would willingly pay more to support U.S. workers and keep these jobs here.

Hey, I'm a cook, so style points aren't a priority for me. But, if form follows function, and the result is a perfect tool, then yes, we have style liftoff! By the way, these rating categories seem to be better suited to shoes or clothing. For cookware, there is a need for a "Functionality" category or similar quantified rating. Enough of that. At this moment, I am soaking some dried black beans in the pan. Usually, I would soak them in hot water off the heat; with the All-Clad pan, I can ratchet the heat down low enough to create a soaking medium for the beans. Usually this takes 20-30 minutes depending on how old the bean. When the beans have absorbed enough water, I simply turn up the heat and begin the cooking phase. During cooking, I don't have to check the beans too often; just bring them to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer. With this equipment, cooking is achieved at a low flame point on the gas stove, which means there is no need to stir the beans more than once or twice tops, to prevent sticking. Getting technical a little: due to way the metals are layered in the pan, there is, with All-Clad, the advantage of heat being distributed evenly, not only on the bottom, but up the sides of the pan as well. This increases the cooking area of the pan, and allows for extremely even heating. Whaddaya want already?

Well, I haven't owned or used this product long enough to comment on it's long term durability, but so far this roasting rack is performing up to my best expectations. I don't think "comfort" is applicable here. So, 3 for comfort?

I love this slow cooker. You can remove the insert and brown your food in it and then just put it in the cooker. No more browning in one pan and then putting it in your slow cooker. Truly a one pot cooker.

This grille is really nice! It has a solid feel to it and comes from a good company. It's not too big either. Recommend!

This saucepan is a great investment. Why? A good example is the first thing I prepared in this pan, which was lemon curd. Basically a custard, lemon curd is unusually touchy because it can stick and burn unless made in a double boiler. With the All-Clad pan, the heat is evenly diffused across the cooking surface, so there is no need to shield the custard from scorching. Just keep the heat low! Also, a custard needs to be whisked constantly, and the scoop-bottom shape ensures that the whisk is contacting the entire cooking surface. The curd turned out perfectly, no scorching or sticking. That's all you can ask from a piece of cookware: ease of use and reliable results.

As a loyal All Clad customer, I wanted to purchase a fry basket that will work with my All Clad collection and as expected, the fry basket works well and is sturdily made and am very happy with my purchase. What is even better was the short time it took for the shipment to come in.

This is a beautiful piece on the counter in my home but it is not so hot to use. First the ceramic insert is heavy by itself but with food in it, it is too heavy to be handled safely. Full of hot food it is an accident waiting to happen. Also there is a problem when full with the heating. I doesn't get hot enough to cook. In short, looks great but buyer beware.

First of all, I appreciated the efficiency and fast service from Zappos. I ordered it on Sunday or Monday before Christmas and received it on Wednesday. The saute pan was a Christmas gift to my daughter-in-law and she loves it. Wondererful service and great product!

Totally love this pan and have been waiting for the right price and Zappos had that! Gave 2 of the same for gifts this Christmas and have been getting rave reviews from the recipients also.

This pan had a manufacturing defect and it was domed and did not sit flat on the stove. All-Clad offered to do a "warranty evaluation" that would take 4-6 weeks. Here's where Zappos shines: All I had to do was call and Zappos' customer service handled it in 3 minutes. I will have a new pan tomorrow, no evaluation of the defective pan required. They are even sending it before they receive the defective pan back. If I could, I would order everything through Zappos. They've made an art out of putting the customer first.

Since it is not stated here on the Zappos website: These All-Clad pans are the "d5 Brushed" series of pans (though the exterior is not "brushed"). These pans work with any heating source, but are "Optimized for induction cooking" (according to the All-Clad website). Also from the All-Clad website: "Interior starburst finishing improves non-stick performance". In my humble opinion, the starburst pattern does not work. I was forced to use more fat to keep foods from sticking.

Slowly, piece by piece, I have been collecting my own collection of All Clad cookware. To this collection I have added a 3 qt. cassoulet with lid purchased through Zappos.com. I love this cassoulet. It is a perfect size for my use. It is so versatile that I can make soups, cook stews, in addition to casseroles. I find side handles extremely convenient, not only for cooking purposes but for transporting from stove to table for serving. The 3 qt. cassoulet lives up to the reputation of All Clad cookware. It is a handsomely crafted cookware. I highly recommend the cassoulet for multi-purpose home use. It may also serve as a nice addition to a bridal registry gift.

From melting butter to re-heating leftover gravy to warming salsa, this is the perfect mini pot to do it in. Solid, hefty weight for its size. Made in USA All-Clad excellence for your stove top.
