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.

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.

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.

American Kitchen AK-710 Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i bought this for myself for Christmas and it is awesome. i have been wanting a nice stainless steel set for over a year. last year i bought a small skillet (Marcus Samuelsson 10-Inch Stainless-Steel Skillet) in order to allow myself the opportunity to get used to cooking on stainless steel. it requires the use of lower heat and that was the most difficult part to get used to. my former cookware was Calphalon non-stick and the cooking temperatures are slightly higher.
these are easy to clean and store. before using for the first time, wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately. use a clean paper towel and rub some oil on the inside cooking surface (i used coconut oil). Allow cookware to cool completly before washing. i dry the inside with a paper towel and they reapply oil.
you can put these in the dishwasher, but i prefer hand washing. dishwashing may dull the shine of the pans, and since i hang my pots and pans, i prefer to keep the shine.
i bought this set because it is made in the USA and I have not been disappointed. Get yourself a set, you won't regret it.
