All-Clad Stainless All-Purpose Pan with Domed Lid



BEWARE OF ALL-CLAD MADE IN CHINA
Check carefully before buying from All-Clad.
Many of their items are now being produced in China & quality has suffered.
I ordered a piece which Amazon's description said was made in the USA.

I called the company & they said ALL the braisers are now made in China but the quality is just as good.

NO......IT IS NOT!

The 3 ply is only on the bottom & does NOT go up the sides.
They are lighter in weight.
They are NOT usable on Induction Burners.

YES.....they are a bit lower in price....BUT STILL EXPENSIVE.

What bothers me is that All-Clad is being less than forthright in informing consumers
of their MADE IN CHINA merchandise.

Not same quality as other stainless All-Clad
I ordered an All-Clad fry pan and was hooked on All-Clad stainless ever since. I finally realized it wasn't me but the cheap pans I had been using. And I've bought 5 different ones within the last year. But this pan doesn't compare. Actually its quite awful in my opinion. Its extremely light weight (almost cheap) and thin compared to the fry pans, french skillets, and saucepans I have. The lid to my saucepan is thicker than this pan. The spoon is better made than the pan. The first one I received had some imperfections inside the pan and you could see swirls where they were buffing it. Also where the handles are attached, there was a huge dent, almost a hole. I called All-Clad and they said it was defective so to return it to Amazon. I sent it back and the replacement still had the swirls and not as big of a dent by the handle. But because of the rapport with All-Clad I kept it. I've used it a couple of times, but its small and everything I have tried has burned...

Nice pan but...
I returned this pan ONLY due to the incorrect info in the description. I wanted a 13" bottom cooking surface, NOT the measurement across the top of the pan. Other than that, the pan is well constructed, nice and medium weight, looked like it would be a workhorse, if a smaller pan is what you want.
