Review on All-Clad D3 Stainless Cookware 12-Inch Fry Pan with Lid - Tri-Ply Stainless Steel Professional Grade Silver 41126 by Gabe Evans

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor quality control

The first pan I received has a raised metal ridge on the top edge of the stainless steel pan rim. Another downside is that the pan doesn't sit entirely flat, it wobbles from side to side no matter what surface it's placed on. The positive thing about this pan is that it is easy to hold, heats very evenly and reacts quickly to temperature changes. The 3-layer construction is a game changer and makes a noticeable difference in your everyday cooking. Update: The replacement frying pan that was sent to me also had a major flaw with a smooth, even surface compared to the first frying pan. , the cooking surface of the replacement pots was poorly polished, leaving rough, uneven deep scratches. The bottom line here is that All-Clad's quality control is seriously lacking and is just plain unacceptable for a US made product. So buy at your own risk as you will most likely get hit or miss.

Pros
  • Protected with stainless steel rivets for a secure fit and added style with a matching stainless steel lid
Cons
  • Something is wrong
