All-CladD3 3-Ply Stainless Steel Sauce Pan with Lid 3 Quart, Induction, Oven Broiler Safe 600F, Multipurpose, Compatible w/ All Cooktops, For Restaurant or Home Kitchen, Pots & Pans, Cookware, Silver

This pot came in perfect condition. And was my solution for making a great custard for ice cream. The temperature is very consistent and heats the milk and cream to the right temperature without burning or curdling. The pot is easy to clean and the pouring lip makes pour the custard into the ice maker.

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 hotI 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.

Had another lesser brand pot and the stainless steel started to pit and chip off so I went to AllClad. They didn’t have it in stock but Amazon did for a great price. Came quickly, well packaged, perfect condition. Very happy.

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.

This is an excellent product. However, buyer beware: it does not come with any authentication or usage manual, and All-Clad will not register it for warranty. Fortunately, I learned it was covered under my credit card’s warranty protection. Very happy with the saucepan.

All Clad is just the best! I used to have 2 of this size pan, both disappeared in a move...so happy to have this size back in my kitchen! Perfect for smaller dishes, heating soup, making gravy or sauces, heating frozen/canned veggies...LOVE it!

I love All Clad and the stainless products are made in the USA. It is a HEAVY pan, and compared to my other 3 QT Farberware, it really shows the quality difference (though I really like the Farberware one too). The handle is a bit awkward like the other reviews said. It's quite long and the angle feels sort of strange, and washing it does take a bit of getting used to. If this wasn't on sale for $120, I'd probably be more upset or picky about it. But given that I feel it's cooking quality and safety is just top of the line, I can let that slide and still give it 5 stars. The width is also great and feels like it cooks evenly. The lid is nice and heavy, but it does get HOT so be careful and use a potholder. Overall, I'd buy again but a smaller size due to the weight -or get one that has a helper handle on the other side.

Following instructions and recommendations for seasoning and cleaning pans is important to keep pans looking good and easy to clean up. The pans a great - even heating and solid good quality. However, the handle design is rather uncomfortable and not ergonomic. Both my husband and I noticed this right away. I'm looking for some silicone handles I can keep on them or handy to make them more comfortable.
