Product Description:
Frying, browning, sauteing? If you tend to use your fry pan a lot, as most people do, doesn't it make sense to purchase one that will give you years of excellent service? All-Clad's three-ply stainless steel construction with a non-stick interior will allow you to cook with minimal fat and even heat distribution.

Amazon.com Review:
The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops, and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick coating bonded to the steel.

This classic, slope-sided fry pan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless nonstick coating is so popular. It's 8 inches in diameter, perfect for sautéing a salmon fillet or conjuring up a quick broth-based sauce, and the nonstick coating allows you to use little or no fat for a healthful meal. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, nonstick pieces should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

From the Manufacturer
All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company's signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.

Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:
  • Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
  • Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won't have "hot spots" when cooking.
  • Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
  • Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
  • Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
  • Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan's edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
  • The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
  • The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.


Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper's Friend. To use the Bar Keeper's Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper's Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper's Friend to remove it.

All-Clad Stainless Selection
In recent years, a professional-size 14-inch fry pan was added to the Stainless fry pan assortment, as well as several popular specialty pans, including: the small-size petite brasier with a dome-shaped lid; petite roti roasting pan; and the beautiful, large-capacity Dutch oven and French oven oval roasting pan with roasting rack. Both of these one-pot comfort food specialty pans comes with All-Clad's popular high dome-shaped lid. Other specialty pans include a larger brasier pan with domed-shape lid; a complete family of round-shaped saucier saucepans for versatile stove-top cooking; a flare-sided Windsor pan in two sizes, designed for reduction and the creation of rich sauces; and a contemporary "Soup for Two" 3-1/2-quart soup pot; casseroles; an open stir fry; a versatile wok-style chef's pan; and a "Pasta Pentola" 7-quart stockpot with colander insert and lid. All saucepans, casseroles, sauté pans, stock pots, and specialty items come with lids. Double boiler and steamer inserts, including the large steamer insert for 6-quart, 8-quart and 12-quart stockpots, are available as well. Stainless cookware sets are available in various sizes, from a starter 5-piece to a complete 10-piece set.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - great so far
Man, these reviews scare me. I got this pan via a special deal from a high-end kitchen retailer; it came with a lid at a better pricethan is listed here. My old nonstick pan was 10 years old and just starting to peel (it was a cheapish department store brand, but very serviceable)--obviously I'm not hard on my pans. I have a few other All-Clad pieces I love so I took the plunge.

So far, I love this thing. It's a sacred cow in my kitchen--to be used only for eggs and gravy, and only ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Awful warranty and poor customer service
This pan is great when new.However, when you spend $125 on a pan, you expect to use it for a long time.Unfortunately, after a year or so, this pan started to develop a sticky film that compromised the non-stick cooking surface.All-Clad refused to exchange the pan for a new one, despite the fact that we followed their instructions with respect to heat and cleaning.

Bottom line is that you should stick with all-clad for stainless cookware.For non-stick, go with a cheaper alternative ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - All-Clad nonstick STICKS!!!
I own 8", 10" and 12" All-Clad LTD fry pans and all three stick BADLY. I tried All-Clad's website recommended cleaning technique of baking soda,etc. Nothing worked. After three months of trying to clean them I sent two of them back to All-Clad who claimed the problem was my fault because I exposed them to high heat which is NOT true - never used them except on low to medium heat. I called their consumer satisfaction organization which was just a parrot response - just telling me over and over what their ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - peeling
We have several all-clad pots and pans, as well as other manufacturers, and except for the non-stick, all-clad is by far my favorite.

But the non-stick...it's peeling, and the pan is only a few years old (three? four?).We use it mostly for grilled cheese, pancakes, and sauteing - nothing unusual, and no extremely high temps.It gets hand washed with only gentle cloths, and lovingly wiped dry.All to no avail.I'll never buy another expensive non-stick pan.Cheap ones that won't break ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Better than expected
I cooked hamburger first day I purchased all-clad fry pan and was surprized that fry pan can make so much different test. I like it very much but one problem this fry pan should sell with lid. Otherwise, is good to have it.
