Product Description

Amazon.com Review
All-Clad's Stainless collection is the most popular of the renowned company's cookware lines. Exhibiting an impressive heft, each piece is meticulously crafted of three permanently bonded layers: 18/10 stainless steel on the interior, magnetic stainless steel on the exterior, and an encapsulated aluminum core for thorough, even heating. Hand-polished to a mirror shine, the stainless steel offers natural nonstick properties and striking good looks. The magnetic property means that in addition to suiting gas and electric burners, the cookware can be used on induction stovetops, increasingly popular for their energy efficiency. All of All-Clad's bonded cookware is made in the USA and is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Any chef can put a classic French skillet to good use, practically on a daily basis. Available in three sizes, 9, 11, and 13 inches, the Stainless skillet is designed with high sides that facilitate flipping pancakes, tossing stir-fried vegetables, or stirring stews. The solid, cast-stainless-steel handle is riveted on for strength, stays cool on the stovetop, and features a hole for hanging. Because the pan heats up quickly and hold its temperature well, only low to medium heat is recommended for cooking. While the All-Clad Stainless collection is durable enough for dishwasher cleaning, washing by hand is easy and will help preserve the bright finish. --Ann Bieri

Ideal all-in-one pan for those with limited space (or budget!) September 2, 2008
I've been absolutely thrilled with the french skillet since it came in a couple weeks ago. I love to cook, but I'm limited on both space in my small apartment with even smaller kitchen, and limited budget. This pan serves double duty for a skillet (aka fry pan), which is designed with very low sides to allow easy access and a wide surface area, and a saute pan which alternatively has vertical sides to hold liquid inside. The french skillet sides are half-way between -- tall, but with a bit of flare to allow access -- and I now use it regularly for both purposes. In fact, I'd say its preferable to a skillet in all cases that I use it for; the taller sides (and 45 degree handle, which I really like) make pan-flipping a snap.

Finally, it goes without saying that the construction of the pan itself is top-notch, as one would expect from All-Clad. It looks beautiful (hey, that's important too!) and I've found that the 3-ply stainless conducts heat wonderfully -- its worth noting, however, that the gauge of the steel is not as thick as other products in this line, such as their saucepans, and nowhere near as thick as some of their other lines (such as LTD).

All Clad 13" fry pan May 21, 2008
Bought this for my wife. She loves it. Nothing sticks. The handle sticks up a little too high, but it is definitely worth the inconvenience.

Great pan, but has manufacturer's defect April 24, 2008
I received this pan as a Christmas gift, purchased from Williams Sonoma. It was wonderful to cook with, but I noticed that the center of the pan seemed higher than the edges, causing any liquid to pool along the sides. When I took it back to the Mall of America Williams Sonoma where it was purchased, they discovered the pans they had in stock all had the same cupping! They told me it would be reported to All-Clad, and that I should get a new pan, but haven't heard anything yet, and that was four months ago. Just wondered if anyone else had the same problem. The pan cleans up beautifully with just a bit of soaking, and I use the new professional Pam which doesn't darken and stick as regular Pam does.

Good for most everything April 20, 2008
The high sides and construction make controling the heat easy and simmering sauces the thing...

To Stick or Not to Stick? April 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Another reviewer of this excellent skillet suggested the use of a non-stick pan for those 'sticky' foods. Can't fault that because who wants to do battle in the sink afterwards? However, I found a different approach can work wonders with this pan. For instance - those love-to-stick morning eggs. My solution: Heat pan on low for a few minutes with a little olive oil or whatever you use. Turn off heat, toss in eggs, cover pan and sip on that coffee you just brewed.
Oops, what cover you say? Hmm....that's a problem since it is not offered with this skillet. Thus the four-star rating. So improvise or find something you can purchase (and let me know what you find!).
Well, back to the eggs. They're done in a few minutes (how many minutes? Who knows - get a see through cover if you must). And guess what? Since this pan heats so evenly and you've compassionately chosen free-range eggs, they slide out of the pan as if they couldn't wait for breakfast - yours.
One other note. The handle, cool to the touch and rakish in appearance is what you would have to characterize as non-ergonomic. But that's the French for you - beauty and form overshadow a minor annoyance.
