All-Clad Stainless 14-Inch Nonstick Fry Pan
I picked up quite a few All-Clads at once 6 or 7 years ago. It was time to trash all the hand-me-down pans from the parents and ex-roommates over the years.
I have no idea what this "professional-grade" bonded material is but it has been nothing but perfect for us as a family. While I actively avoid scraping it with metal utensils, it does get stacked with other metal pans inside it in a drawer and in the sink. It still does not have a single scratch or blemish and we use it more than any other fry pan. The only pan that sees more use is a small Silit pan I bought in Germany 9 years ago. We actually plan on buying an 8" and probably a 12" soon.
You can cook just about anything without burning it within reason. Naturally oil will still smoke, but when this is on low flame I can walk out of the kitchen if I need to. So the core of the pan distributing the heat well and the non-stick surface seems to drastically reduce burning. Making an omelette for two in this pan is crazy easy. You can just stir up your eggs and goodies, let it set to solid on low, and simply use a plastic/silicon spatula to flip it over in half. Presto, you are done. In the regular stainless All-Clad fry pans we have, we would have to constantly scrap the omelette off the bottom to prevent burning and that just does not work well with an omelette heh.
From hamburger helper to saffron rosotto we have nothing to say but good things about this pan. I am actually quite surprised that it is a material bonded to steel and not anodized aluminum on the inside since it seems so impervious.
Back when I got ours, it was definitely made in Pennsylvania. Perhaps some other later batches were offshored and not quite up to snuff? Other than that I could only guess that folks with problem pans are perhaps cooking things in it that we are not.
Not a durable surface., I purchased this fry pan in June of this year - and it is almost to a state where it is ready to be thrown away as of December 1st. I would have expected the nonstick surface to be of superior quality and durability from All-Clad, but the sad truth is that I have had cheap grocery store pans that have maintained the coating far longer, and a small fraction of the cost. After just a few weeks the surface became scratched on this pan and the coating started to come off in the food - ick! I love the uncoated All-Clad, but I will be looking elsewhere for nonstick in the future.
Too big for my Induction Cooktop burners, I have one of those Kenmore Elite Induction Cook-tops which I just love. It only accepts magnetic pans so I use the entire All-Clad line.
I've often wished for a fry pan in a larger size than the standard 12" and was really excited to discover the 14" version.
My excitement turned into disappointment, however, when I tried to use the pan for the first time. It's larger than the burner and will not activate the stove-top because of that. My largest burners are 10" and the 12" pan works fine. But the 14" pan is simply too big.
So if you are using Induction Cooking, beware. Great company, great pans. But this one comes with constraints. I wish someone had warned me because I'd already thrown away the packaging before I made the discovery and these pans are not cheap.
14-inch Fry Pan...Disappointing, I purchased the complete All-Clad set over 5 years ago and the 14-inch fry pan will need to be tossed. The teflon is fraying and coming off at the top of the pan, but not in the center. The smaller saute pan is fine as well as the other pieces, so I'm keeping those. I don't know if it's some sort of defect in the larger fry pan, but I'm disappointed. What would I do differently? Probably buy each All-Clad piece separately and get another larger fry pan from another brand.
Disappointing compared to other All Clad, Same problem - the surface has begun to deteriorate. We use this pan daily, always using appropriate implements and washing by hand, but still the non-stick surface has broken down. I am going to contact All Clad to see if they will stand by their product and replace...
You won't get it., I waited from April to July and they couldn't get it in stock.
to be a fry pan in our house is a true test of any cookware., that said, the All-Clad Stainless 14-Inch Nonstick Fry Pan has clearly failed. the non-stick surface began to deteriorate long before any other non-stick pan we've owned has in the past.
we received this pan as part of 10-peice set, and really, it's the only complaint we have about the set in general. the rest of the All-Clad pieces have performed beautifully and withstood all of the rigors of being cookware in a house with two accomplished and passionate chefs.
far too expensive for the quality, I must agree with the negative reviewers that this pan's nonstick coating began coming off almost immediately after I began using it. I'm not talking about scratches, which often are a result of using the wrong kind of implements for cooking and cleaning. My pan began pock all over, even up the sides where I rarely touch them. I hung on to this pan for 3 years, simply because I could not bear to part with it for the expense. But eventually I had to treat it like my other All-Clad pans (which I LOVE) and use full amounts of oil to cook. It was no longer worth using.
Although the reviewer who loves this pan was "certain" the rest of us who have not liked this pan were not caring for the pan properly, that "certainty" is based on nothing but speculation. I cared for my pan precisely according to the directions provided by All-Clad. Of course, I could have asked All-Clad to replace it early on, since it was clear the nonstick coating was coming off on its own accord. But that would not have changed the fact that the coating on my pan was coming off.
All-Clad non-stick is as good as it gets!!, I highly DISAGREE with the other reviews of All-Clad's non-stick coating. I have owned my All-Clad set for 6 years and the non-stick coating is still as good as new! You do have to take care of good pots and pans no matter what, so if you are expecting these pots and pans to be easier than "grocery store" pans... then save the money because there's no doubt you would ruin them. As far as the quality of the non-stick coating, I have found it much more durable than any other brand I have used including Calphalon.You CANNOT use forks, knives, steel wool, or stainless steel utensils in non-stick pans- no matter what brand...
Better than expected, I cooked hamburger first day I purchased all-clad fry pan and was surprized that fry pan can make so much different test. I like it very much but one problem this fry pan should sell with lid. Otherwise, is good to have it.
Lifetime warranty against defects.Long, comfortable, stay-cool handle riveted for strength; also includes helper handle.Professional-size, 14-inch, slope-sided, 2-inch-deep frying pan.Two stainless-steel layers sandwich pure aluminum core for even heating.Layer of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to interior. The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops, and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick coating bonded to the steel. This classic, slope-sided fry pan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless nonstick line is so popular. It's an imposing 14 inches in diameter (and 2 inches deep), which is large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home kitchen, and the nonstick coating allows you to cook with little or no fat for healthful meals. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. Like the pan's helper handle, it stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, nonstick pieces should be hand washed.
