All-Clad D3 Stainless Steel 3 Quart Sauce Pan With Lid- Made in the USA- The Original Bonded Professional Cookware- Oven Safe & Induction Compatible

I've had this sauce pan for 8 months now. I was waiting to write a review until I'd been able to use it a good bit. First some background as to what others I have used. 0) lost track of what all I used growing up and as a college student. 1) used to use a revereware steel set with heat plate on the bottom. It was ok. Got rid of that due to someone in the house winning a nicer set of cookware. 2) calphalon hard anodized set. This was a nice pan. Even heat. Got rid of that due to getting rid of the person in the house who had won it. 3) some walmart cheap ($10) stainless steel thing with a glass lid that had very thin sides and resulting poor heat conduction up the sides. Also the handle got really hot I finally got totally fed up with the walmart pan and bought this all clad stainless steel pan. The difference in quality and performance is quite substantial. Of everything I've used, this pan performs the best. The handle stays comfortable to the touch. Heat is quite even and easy to control. I have a gas range and the combination is really quite nice. I've used this for simple things like hot chocolate and find it quite easy to not scorch stuff (not true on some of the others I've used in the past). Same thing for simmering smaller quantities of sauces (home made pizza sauce for example). Besides performing like a champ in terms of heat control and even heat, the pan is solidly built. I have every expectation that one day my kids or grandkids will be flipping a coin to see who gets Dad's/Grandpa's sauce pan. I used to look at prices on All-Clad and think it was pretty darn expensive and not for me. It still isn't cheap, but it is so nice to use something that works really well and also something that I know will last a lifetime. I plan on replacing some of my other cookware with items from this line in the future. ------------------------- update; It has now been 5 years and we still love this pan. My only complaint, and with this item you have to search for anything at all to complain about, is that the edge is straight all the way up and so I spill stuff sometimes when pouring into something else. As a note, the D5 all-clad series has a slightly rounded upper edge that solves that too. Even with this minor complaint we still love it and wouldn't even dock it 1/2 star. I'd guess it gets used on average 2x per week so we've probably used it ~500 times now. Looks like new, performs like a champ. Even, controlled heat. No hot spots or cold spots. Our use has been almost exclusively stove-top so I can't comment on the oven use.

Perfect size well made

Beautiful pan and heats evenly. This was my first purchase of All-Clad D-3 and I only purchased one piece so I could try it. This is the cookware recommended by America’s Test Kitchen and I can definitely see why. I love the piece for the construction and I believe it will last a lifetime. However it is quite a bit heavier even when empty than my previous stainless steel cookware which only had the aluminum encapsulated disk on the bottom. That fact may deter me from purchasing more to replace my existing pieces which are perfectly fine. If I were younger I would do it in a heartbeat and highly recommend this cookware.

I've had this pot for almost 3 months and have been very satisfied. This was a risky buy due to the price of the pot, but it turned out to be the perfect size and of excellent quality. The handle is "permanently attached" using two large bolts that go through the base of the handle and the body of the pot. Despite being a little thin and a little long, the handle is an adequate size and it's size made easier by the length of the handle. While I don't foresee myself breaking the handle off, the handle is thinnest at the base where it meets the body. Since this purchase I have researched the brand a little closer and found some interesting user feedback. A lot of reviews on the saute pans complain of discoloration or sticking with a difficult cleaning process. I haven't had any of these issues and the instructions state to heat the pan, then add oil and then add food. In following this (very basic and very common) practice I've generally preserved the surface of most of my pans. In regards to this product it has been easy to clean every time. The instructions also mention not to hit the hot pan with cold water from the tap as that could cause warping that isn't covered by the lifetime warranty. Regarding warping, some sale items from All Clad had reviews stating that their product wasn't balanced. Many had photo evidence of the pan not sitting flat on the counter or the burner - this was not the case with my product. It is perfectly balanced and sits flat on any surface that is also flat. All in all, an excellent product to keep an eye out for when on sale but be wary of where those sale items are coming from.

I was looking for a new sauce pot to replace an old one and I wanted something that was sturdier than the piece of junk it was replacing. I chose All-Clad because I heard of this brand and basically, I like using stainless steel cookware. I read the description of the product and thought it seemed well-made. I have to say this was the most money I have ever spent on a single pot, but it was worth every penny. As soon as I took it out of the packaging, I could tell that it was of better quality than I've had in the past. I doubt that any part of it will loosen or fall apart. Pretty much everything cooks well in it and it heats evenly. Occasionally, I get a little careless and something might scorch or stick, but the pot cleans up nicely after letting warm soapy water soak in it for a little while. The only problem is that pouring liquids from this pot can get a bit messy, so it has to be done carefully. Otherwise, I'm very satisfied. This is the only All-Clad product I have now, but it certainly won't be the last.

You can't go wrong with All-Clad. Expensive relative to other options but very high quality. Beautiful and high performing. This is cookware to use for life and leave to your kids.

Excellent quality. Worth the money.

I’m loving the easy non stick function of it once I get used to it. Just don’t like the appearance after washing it. Had to buy bar keepers friend to remove stains but so far only used baking soda and it works wonders!

I purchased this after reading countless reviews and recommendations. Americas Test Kitchen put a number of sauce pans through rigorous trials and this came out their winner. I have had it for a few weeks now, and absolutely love it. The handle though not the most comfortable in your hand allows for a sturdy grip with a full pot.

se calienta uniformemente, muy rapido, incluso ahorras gas, funciona bien.

Me encanta cocinar y más en una cacerola con diseño moderno y de la mejor calidad.

Excellent product, highly recommend. Very good on my induction stove. Heat up really quickly and are excellent for “waterless” cooking.
