All-Clad Tri-Ply Stainless Skillet - 8"

I was tired of my pans that was supposed be good quality, then I felt on a Youtube video that was explaining the toxicity of non-stick pans. So I realised I needed to step up a buy professional high quality product. After searching I found this brand and I am not disappointed. It's quite expensive but it has a lifetime warranty and I was looking for a durable product. So with time, it will be worth it. Heat distribution is great, it is easy to clean and it's oven safe. The only downside is that the food sticks. It not great but I can leave with that for now. I haven't done the egg test. I think I need to cook with it often to create a non stick layer. I will see with time and patience.

I bought the 7.5 inch skillet. I am so glad I got it. The cooking bottom is bigger then the 8 inch skillet but the top diameter is smaller. I like the 8 inch skillet for cooking an egg, because of its smaller bottom cooking size. Using both, I can cook and egg in the 8 inch skillet and cook a smaller steak in the 7.5 inch skillet. update: Today when I cooked my egg, I used 4 the whole time. It worked great and was faster. Less than a minute after adding the egg, I tried giving a little movement to the egg. And it was fun to see it move around in the pan. I love this pan. I got this 8 inch skillet yesterday and tried it this morning cooking an egg sunny side up. It worked so nice. My stove is electric. I put it on a small burner and tuned it on 4. Let it get hot for several minutes. Tried putting a few drops of water after a few minutes and when it seemd hot enough. I then turned it down to 3 and I added a little bit of butter. Enough to slightly coat around the pan. I let it get hot and put in my egg. I had cracked it into a dish earlier and let it sit out to get a little warmer. It seems like everywhere says to let the food you cook come to as close to room temp as possible. I added the egg and after it turned white it released from the pan as nice as my ceramic skillet ever did. I could swirl it around. The clean up was easy. Let it cool off, put it in the sink with some soap and water and it came really clean. I did use a little Bar Keeprs Friend for Cookware and a plain sponge because I have hard water where I live. I am really happy. Its not hard to learn how to cook with stainless steel, its just different. U tube videos help.

Use this one for toasting nuts, single serve pastas

I ended up returning this pan reluctantly despite all the great reviews. The handle is uncomfortable and the finish wasn’t really that good, especially the edges were sort of unfinished. It did have a nice weight and probably performs very well, but for the price I think the design and finish should be better. A great splurge item but not for everyone. I may get it if it goes on sale.

utensile di grande pregio, fattura impeccabile. si tratta di una padella evidentemente pensata per professionisti. del tutto priva di antiaderente, necessita grande attenzione nella gestione del calore, al quale risponde immediatamente. la tendenza ad attaccare dei cibi è inevitabile, bisogna gestire la quantità di grassi e la temperatura.
