 The only pot you need in a small kitchen Dec 30, 2006
By Debbie
When I started law school, I moved into a studio apartment with only microwave pots to cook in. After a year, I decided that some better form of food was necessary. I first got an All-Clad 1-quart saucier, and then I got this amazing pot/pan. I need nothing else. It warms quickly and evenly and cleans beautifully. At first I choked over the price but I bit the bullet and got it. The cost is, granted, about the same that one can pay and get a whole set, but I've had those inferior sets before. They've gotten thrown out in a year or two because they're worth exactly what I paid for them. Should I ever actually need another pot, I won't look at anything but All-Clad cop-r core.

 Good quality, but not perfect. Mar 20, 2011
By Limin Yang
"Old Dog"
This pan is of top quality. Heating is rather even due to its special constraction. The 12 inch size is perfect for preparing meal for 1-4 persons. The handle will never be hot however the handle of lid could be hot if cook long.
CON: When stirring fry eggs or meat, this pan is really sticky. I changed from high heat to medium heat and added more vegetable oil and these won't help that much.

I love this multi-purpose pan Feb 26, 2012
By HR
I bought this pan five months ago and have not regretted it. It was the first piece of All Clad Copper Core that I purchased and I have purchased five more pans since! First of all, the pan looks beautiful and you can put it in the dishwasher. I clean it with powdered Bar Keepers Friend (sells for $2 in Publix) and then put it in the dishwasher. My dishwasher has a sanitize cycle, so I prefer to put as many things in it as possible that do not require hand washing.
I have cooked a variety of things in this pan: Fried items, sautéed items, marinara sauce, stews, soups, etc. Basically, it is a great multi-purpose pan - and unusual. You will never find this style of pan in a set that you would buy. I am not into Asian food, but obviously if you like that, this pan would be perfect for stir frying. It holds quite a bit of food and the loop makes it easy to move from the stove to other areas of the kitchen if you need to. The lid is high doomed so moisture will stay in as well. I really do not think you can go wrong with this pan. I own the 10 inch fry pan, but find it's not necessary to purchase the 12 inch since I have the Chef's Pan.

saute pan meets fry pan meets wok Jan 05, 2011
By B. Byrne
While I received this a gift, not from amazon, I felt compelled to share with my usual online shopping crowd.
I have 5 other copper core All Clad products. This pan occupies a specific but useful niche in my cooking. First impression, this is a big pan. Not as expansive as my 4 qt saute, but close.
Have you ever made a meal that is best served when combined together? For example, I make a fresh sausage, peppers, onion dish that I enjoy adding to my pasta marinara. Usually this is done in a large mixing bowl off the heat since the saute is not deep enough and has short vertical walls (which is bad for tossing), and my fry pans aren't large enough. Well i now am able to add the fresh pasta directly to the cooking meat and veggies so it can soak the flavors, and i don't have to worry about preheating some of the marinara since the chef's pan remains hot on low heat. I've saved some pain the butt washing of large bowls in the name of a tasty meal.
Tonight I just did a chicken with jasmine fried rice dish. Also came out great.
Lastly, can't beat the build quality. SOLID SOLID SOLID.

Beware Amazon's Misinformation Jul 25, 2007
By J. Berendzen
I recently received this pan as a gift and, though I have not used it much yet, I think it is necessary to mention that the Amazon product description is wrong--this pan is not a wok, or "wok-like" in anything more than a superficial sense (it has rounded sides). It is much shallower than a standard wok, and has a much larger flat portion on the bottom than a standard flat-bottom wok (it is more like a deep skillet with a lid than it is wok-like). Yes, one could stir-fry in it, but that means little (one could try to stir-fry in a skillet or sauce pan also).
Stir-frying will certainly be easier and better in an actual wok that is deeper and more rounded; I have one made by Calphalon and it is great. As far as this chef's pan goes, I plan to use it primarily for fricassees and braises.
