All-Clad d5 Stainless Steel 4 Quart Essential Pan with Lid

What a pan! 4qt size is about right size for an average amount of food. I guess there are small households that could use it as their only pot/pan. At first I was reluctant to go with new 5-ply technology(layers are thinner than in standard 3ply) but after reading reviews on the net got reassured and bought it. And I am glad I did.

As always, it pays to shop around for the best deal because prices vary a lot.

My first D5 purchase, and I couldn't be happier.

Fantastic heat distribution & retention. Which means almost the same level of awesomeness for making sauces and simmering as a cast iron pan. Great for making dry stir-fry sort of dishes as well, which require you to turn off the heat and cook but let it sit in the hot pan for a few mins to finish cooking.

Beautiful finish.

As close to non-stick as stainless steel can get. Cleans SO easily... soak it in hot water for a few mins and it has practically cleaned itself! There was a heat stain that developed in the beginning, when we weren't as familiar with each other, but a quick swipe or two with "bar keeper's friend" took care of that.

Incidentaly, it is $150 in Williams-Sonoma for a limited time.

Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Color, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design

Cons: Weight
