Stainless Steel Tri-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe Fry Pan with Lid 12-Inch Silver 8701005165

Told myself it wasn't worth the money. It is- needs very little heat and disperses it across the cooking surface magnificently. Needs you to learn how to get the best from stainless cookware (and maybe a spot of toothpaste to restore the gleam!)

I bought this pan expecting it to be the very best in the business, I do a lot of research before buying it, I’ve used it 3 times. I’m semi pro chef and know what I’m doing. It’s warped in the middle which means the oils only sit around the edges - so your food burns if you cook in the middle. Only noticed just outside of my return window by one week - very upset

I was very reluctant to switch from a non-stick pan to this one, but now I have no regrets. Using a very hot pan with just a little oil did the trick. I use it almost every day.

Hervorragend Pfanne. Seit der Anschaffung fast täglich in Gebrauch. Hält die Wärme hervorragend, Dank der speziellen Edelstahl-Machart und Dank eines hervorragend sitzenden Deckels. Man muss nur wissen dass Bratgut hier "ansetzt". Das ist normal, da es keine "beschichtete" Pfanne ist. Daher: Für Bratkartoffeln wie auch für Eierspeisen NICHT geeignet, dafür aber für Gemüse- und Reispfannen die man mit etwas Flüssigkeit "ablöscht" und dann mit geschlossenem Deckel fertig gart. Dabei Achtung: Die Garzeit immer gut überwachen! Sehr vieles - speziell Gemüse - ist viel schneller gar als man denkt!

Best stainless pan i have tried so far

Ok. Lets deal with some proverbial elephants first shall we... 1. If you know anything about cooking you should know this is NOT a nonstick Pan. Unless a Pan is coated with something in some way it won’t be a nonstick Pan. Adding fat of some kind is what you would do to make this pan “nonstick”. ;-) 2. If you put an empty pan of any kind on a stove that is too hot it will warp your pan. This is not uncommon but it is also avoidable. Personally I just heat it up on medium heat just long enough that I know whatever I throw in will get a good sizzle. Then if I need to I’ll crank up the heat. 3. If you do your research and read the directions of care you will find it is very easy to care for. 4. Scratches on the bottom of your pan are inevitable. Your cooking. No matter what you buy wear and tear is a definite thing. 5. Unless you use a metallic scrubby you will always have some discoloration inside the pan. Honestly tho. Unless it’s actual food or burnt on pieces that’s seasoning your pan. It can be a good thing. Ok. Now that that’s out of the way here’s my review. I LOVE THIS THING!!! I have been in the process of replacing my kitchen with high quality kitchen tools and this is one of my favorites! It heated and cooked evenly and the fond was Exceptional! (Fond is the beautiful seasoning and meat pieces that are stuck to the pan left behind by a good sear. It’s not burnt and makes wonderful sauces simply add a little broth or fluid and scrape the pieces off.) Additionally I went from stovetop to oven with no problem and no warping. Handle stayed cool on stovetop but just remember to use your potholders after removing it from the oven. The handle stays hot for a while. ;-) (yes I forgot and had a nice burn on my hand. Lol) still. Great addition and plan on replacing my whole kitchen with them!

I did a lot of research before ordering this and the D3 is a far better value than the D5. Overall, this outperforms it and also does in the pricing category too! Clean up is simple using "Bar Keepers Friend". You can make this pan pretty much non-stick by following this easy technique: 1) put pan on Med/High heat for a minute or two 2) flick a few drops of water into the pan, if it rolls around like mercury droplets, it is hot enough. 3) remove from heat for 30 seconds or so 4) put high heat oil (Canola or Avocado) onto thickly folded paper towel and rub all over pan surface (if smoke starts, let cool a little longer) 5) once coated, turn down heat to Med and put pan back and add 1-2tbsp more of same oil. You should now be able to cook and food will not stick. Clean up is a breeze! I love this Alclad pan!!
