All-Clad Saute Pan 6-Quart 8701004445

A much needed piece of cookware for any kitchen. Strong and durable and very sleek looking. Worth it!

large enough for stews and sauces

I took a risk and bought an expensive pot for the first time just to compare to all my other pots and the result is absolutely wonderful! I made adobo chicken in this pan vs a t-fal pot and I have to say the food taste so much better in All-Clad. The lid seals perfectly which makes sure that the flavor is completely absorbed by the food. I love cooking with this pan, it makes me feel like a pro chef because food really do turn out better. Also after making greasy food it is so much easier to clean it than my old pans. The only down side I would say is that it's not good for making things that doesn't stay well together like eggs and falafel, but otherwise I totally recommend. In a few years I am probably going to buy more sets from All-Clad.

Excellent product, highly recommend. Very good on my induction stove. Heat up really quickly and are excellent for “waterless” cooking.

I have to agree with a number of other reviews I've seen that talk about how uncomfortable the handle is. I own the small and medium All Clad D3 frying pans and have had no issue with the handles, so, even though I'd seen complaints about the handle on this saute pan, I assumed it would be fine. Unfortunately, there seems to be a limit to the weight for which the handle will remain comfortable, and this exceeds it. The pan is quite heavy and most of the weight is forced onto a millimetre or so on each side of the handle, that digs into your hand. It's not just a little uncomfortable; it's really unpleasant. As result, I decided to return the pan and go with my second choice--the Le Crueset 3-ply stainless steel saute pan. I'm very glad that I did, because the Le Crueset has a really comfortable handle and is actually better quality than the All Clad (despite the lower price). The quality difference is particularly evident in the lid. The All Clad lid is made in China, has sharp edges, no branding on it and the rivets aren't centred in their location. On a £200 pan? C'mon! The Le Crueset lid is well made with a really nice branded handle and that quality is carried through to all parts of the pan. To sum up, do yourself a favour and get the Le Crueset instead--it's a much better pan in every respect.
