All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 12-Inch Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my benchmark pan. Most of my collection is All-Clad Stainless. Generally speaking, I consider All-clad to be a standard for servicable cookware. Myself as well as many in my extended family have had heaps of junk fraudulently sold as cookware. I cannot believe some of the pathetic things others use. It's cupped, coned, damaged or sticks and heats so unevenly you can see it on the food.
All-Clad on the other hand has nothing to be ashamed of. It is not exactly luxury stuff though. The copper here is mostly a decorative layer -- which is lost on my wife who insists on scrubbing any marks out of it -- in lieu of the stainless layer on that line. This is not like the French copperwares with several millimiters thick copper and a tin or sterling silver lining.
From my experience, All-Clad is All-Clad and the main difference between the various lines is the color of the outside metal. The layers on a 5-layer pan are so thin I doubt they're appreciably different than 3 thicker layers. Whatever -- pick your color and enjoy a consistent, well-made stainless-lined pan. Pick out a Lodge cast iron pan and Le Creuset's enameled iron and you'll have a pan for almost every job. Forget the non-stick -- they're disposable. The pans (All-Clad) are the same but the lining is no better than the multitude. It lasts about a year in my kitchen and then it's toast. That's a shame because a stainless lined pan for the same cost should last a lifetime.

Searing meats, frying eggs, and preparing your favorite meals is a breeze with All-Clad's Cop-R-Chef fry pan.

The long, stay-cool handle is riveted to the side of the pan for extra strength and durability, and helps prevent burns.

Swiss Diamond Cast-Aluminum Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I really wish that people would not leave comments on cookware that they have had for less than a year. Of course when it's new, it's great. However, please note that the reviewers who have had theirs for more than a year are telling you - it DOES scratch - easily. This is a very expensive set for nonstick. I took very good care of mine because it was so expensive, I always handwashed my cookware and did not abuse it. But it still scratched after 3 months. Fortunately the company that I bought it from stood behind it and took it back, because Swiss Diamond's warranty is awful! Look at some of these reviews and you'll see that people who had to deal with the company are saying that Swiss Diamond keeps claiming "abuse". How convenient and shady of the company. The nonstick was great and it cooked nicely, but when mine scratched, I contacted the company and was given, in an email, "this warranty does not cover stains, discoloration, scratch marks, or dents". HUH??? What DOES it cover then? And once a pan is scratched it's ruined. So since it scratched so easily and the company does not stand behind their warranty, I decided to return the entire set rather than get stuck with a $500 set that will be just like any other nonstick set within a few years. Don't listen to reviewers who have only had theirs a short while - look at the reviewers who have had theirs for awhile or have had to deal with the company. They are all saying the same thing - it DOES scratch, get pits, and stains and the company does not stand behind it.

Fissler Ultimate Steelux Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Very nice set of frypans. I have used both and they both work perfectly. They have a thick heavy base that heats the contents of the pan very quickly. Much quicker than my Viking pans. The nonstick is very high quality and looks to last a very long time. The stainless steel in these pans is also very high quality. The flip up spatter guard is just the icing on the cake and works as well as the pans. The Rolls Royce of frypans.

All Clad LTD2 3-Quart Saute Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All-Clad is one of the best known cookware brands when it comes to high-quality, well-made pots and pans. The various lines they offer can be very different and often confusing though. In my opinion, the LTD2 line is simply the best you can buy at the moment - featuring a "best of both worlds" type arrangement between function and ease of clean-up. The variations between All-Clad's many lines really comes down to the materials used to form the clad components of the pans. The LTD2 line is made of a 5-ply clad construction that has dishwasher-safe anodized aluminum on the outside, then two layers of aluminum with a stainless steel layer sandwiched between them, and then a final layer of stainless steel on the inside cooking surface. The layers of aluminum offer quick heating and temperature control while the stainless layers offer uniform, lateral heating and a nice non-reactive cooking surface. Some of the other all-clad lines such as their copper and copper-core lines will have better temperature control and heating speed, but don't offer the convenience of being dishwasher-safe. This is also what makes the LTD2 line a huge step-up from the LTD line - being dishwasher-safe.
This particular pan is very well-made, offers a nice and light, yet solid feel to it, and offers superb temperature control. I opted for the 4-quart saute because it seemed to be almost the perfect size. I usually can fit about 4 large chicken breasts in it with a little room left over.

Viking Stainless Fry Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this as a Christmas gift and absolutely love it. It has a large cooking area.
The skillet is 11 x 2 inches and has 7 layers of aluminum alloys.
Everything browns and cooks evenly. There are no hot spots. Foods can be sauted in the skillet and then finished in the oven or broiler up to 600 degrees F.
Unlike most other skillets, this pan has a wide bottom area. The skillet is 11 inches, the bottom which actually comes in contact with the heat is about 10 1/2 inches. I compared this skillet to others and, although they are 11 or 12 inches across, only 9 inches actually comes in contact with the heat source because they have slopping sides. The sides of the Viking skillet are almost straight.
Like all Viking, this skillet needs to be cleaned with Bar Keeper's Friend and then rinsed with soap and water to maintain it's brand new look.
It is advisable to first season Viking cookware by first washing it and then placing a tablespoon of oil in the pan and heating it for a minute or two and then washing it again.
This cookware makes me want to cook more. It is a very high quality pan that should last.
If you want quality pans that will last a lifetime, Viking is for you.

All-Clad Stainless-Steel Loop-Handle Sauce Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Whether you are simmering a delicate soup, making jam, reheating yesterday's dinner, or you have put beans on the stove, at a boil, and forgotten them - utterly, with a trip to the library and an assortment or errands done, returning hours later to a smoke-filled house and unrecognizable ashen material on your All-Clad Saucepan - this wonderful pot will handle the task. Conscientious cooks will love its weight, even heating, and versatility. Distractable cooks will especially appreciate the fact that it cleans up without a hitch. In addition there is a sensible 'loop' in the handle for hanging from a rack, and another in the lid's handle, so that you can slip the lid handle down the pot's handle, and hang the set neatly from a pot rack. I've had mine for years. The weight is just right, it is good-looking, made in the USA, and a double-boiler insert is available for this size, which is also a good item, and usable as a separate saucepan if need be. Great product, and worth the money, especially if you tend to occasionally depend on your smoke alarm to remind you that something's on the stove.

All-Clad Stainless 12-Quart Tall Stock Pot with Lid Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have never felt more skeptical about buying a product so expensive but when I saw there was a used item selling for $240 by Warehouse Deals, my jaw dropped and I snagged it. I felt like the luckiest man in the world.
All-Clad doesn't disappoint with its reputation for quality: this pot simmers stock to perfection, looks beautiful, and will last many lifetimes. I only thought it would be taller, despite its title as a "tall" stock pot: I measured and found it to be slightly wider than it is tall. I was expecting it to be taller than it was wide, but this was never the case with all 12 quart stockpots I bought and measured.
Don't fear All-Clad's prices. Their products are meant to last lifetimes. Also, look for Warehouse Deals selling used pieces of cookware that were never touched. Most people won't be as lucky as me finding 40% off of a product like this, but stay on your toes nonetheless.
