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.
