Best Item From All-Clad

Great for steaks
I use this pan primarily to sear steaks on the stove top, then finish them in the oven or the broiler. Unlike cast iron, it can handle acidic ingredients without affecting the flavor, and it can go in the dishwasher when you don't feel like hand washing your dirty pans. The D5 version seems to have better heat retention than the standard All Clad stainless, this makes it great for browning and putting a nice "crisp" golden brown crust on food.

Tip: if stains remain after running the pan through the dishwasher, a little barkeeper's friend censer will clean them up nice.
Also: If your food sticks, try heating the pan on medium until a drop of water will roll around the bottom without evaporating. (this may take a while depending on your stove) Once it's hot enough, add grapeseed or canola oil, allow the oil to coat the entire bottom of the pan, then add food.

Did I mention it's made in the USA?

All-Clad Brushed Stainless D5 11" French Skillet with domed lid features a large surface area and round sides that hold in heat and liquids while preventing splattering, making the pan ideal for searing, browning and pan-frying a wide range of foods, including eggs and meats. The lid can be used to lock in moisture and heat after browning or searing to cook meats thoroughly on the stovetop or in the oven.

perfect companion to the 13 inch version ...better than a frying pan
Yep, these ain't cheap but if your serious about your cooking and enjoy your time in the kitchen whisking up your favorite recipe you should consider investing in high quality cookware.

For years I hesitated and settled for good quality imitations such as the Emeril's cookware but finally decided to treat myself to the real thing and find out if they are worth the high prices. Yes they certainty do. No hot spots, better results at lower heat, tight lids that allow even lower heats due to fantastic heat retention (just use a higher initial temperature put the lid on and reduce to low/medium and you get a better result than having to use med/high on other less efficient wares)

I got the same satisfaction than when I decided to buy chef quality knives ... Once you cut and dice with a "real pro knife" you know why it cost $250.

I think of these pots as an investment and a heirloom to pass on to my kids. These things are so well built that you know...
Another winner.
top quality. could only get it thru amazon. Next to my old cast iron pans, All-clad is the tops for cooking, baking and broiling.
clean up is easier.
