Great frying pans. Very solid, heavy (not overwhelming), frying pans. I wish the handles did not get hot. There have been many complaints about the handles, which, IMO are a bit uncomfortable, but I purchased a silicon handle for the 12" and it works very well. My only complaint, I use only brand new, highly rated silicon utensils. I was a bit confused when there were light scrap marks, not into the finish, but I expected to see nothing, no scuffs, no marks But you can clearly see light circles from stiring scrambled eggs. These very light marks did not wash away. For the price, I was a bit sad. It took quite awhile in my old Calphalon pans to see any marks at all. But, they pans cook very well and feel like quality pans.

I saw some prior reviews complaining about the handle on this pan. But, the pan was on sale and made by a reputable company. I thought, "how bad can a handle really be?"I hope my naivete will be forgiven by those negatively impacted by this pan handle, most notably my wife. My hands hurt as I type this, left with the imprint of the sharp upper edge of the torture device All-Clad calls a handle.I've experimented, trying many different hand positions and grips, to try to find a way to pick up this pan without causing harm to my hand. All attempts have failed. At the gym I curl 45 lb dumbbells with ease, but in the kitchen I can't pick up my non-stick pan without pangs of regret surging from my hands to my soul.What on earth was All-Clad trying to do with this ... MoreI saw some prior reviews complaining about the handle on this pan.

A handle is a simple device, known since the ancients discovered the art of pottery. In all of the time that has passed since the Egyptians and Mayans were forming handles on clay, there has never been another handle worse than the one on this All-Clad pan. T-Fal's similar but much less expensive non-stick pan has a wonderful handle it's not complicated. It's round with a rubbery silicone grip. All-Clad chose to use a steel handle with sharp upper edges tip to base.If you want your pan's handle to double as a tool that can scrape the flesh from a buffalo hide in some post-apocalyptic fantasy, buy this pan. Otherwise, please heed my warnings.

I am so disappointed to have to write this review. I purchased these pans in June of 2020 and loved them for the first year or so of use. After that, the non-stick surface of the much more often used 10" pan started to degrade. I would like to make it clear that I used only plastic or wood utensils with this pan and always hand washed it using a non-abrasive cloth. Once the pan started to get sticky, and based on its appearance, I started to worry that the non-stick surface was now in our food, we stopped using the pan and I emailed All-Clad's customer service. I had registered the pans with them and was careful to keep all of my receipts. I emailed them in April of 2022 (my pans were not yet 2 years old) and they responded quickly asking for additional pictures of ... MoreI am so disappointed to have to write this review.

I emailed them in April of 2022 (my pans were not yet 2 years old) and they responded quickly asking for additional pictures of the pan. I sent the pictures immediately and never heard back. I emailed again yesterday (7/6/22) and said I was following up on my claim and got this response today: "In response to your inquiry, we do regret that you have experienced an issue while in use of your All-Clad cookware and we do appreciate your sending in images to help in the evaluation process. In a review of the images received we were not able to find or determine a manufacturing-related origin or cause to your stated issue as the images reflected wear with use which the warranty does not cover. The warranty as written provides for coverage against matters determined by the manufacturer to be a result of some aspect or component of the manufacturing process." So apparently, they are not responsible for the break down of their non-stick surface. Period. I am embarrassed to say that I recommended this set to my sister (who is now having exactly the same issue with her pans) and she then bought them for her brother-in-law. Please look elsewhere for non-stick pans. These are not the quality pan you think you can expect from a company like All-Clad and worse, they don't stand behind them. I don't think it's crazy to expect a pan to last more than 2 years and I certainly did not purchase these pans thinking they were in any way "disposable." They are now nothing more than cumbersome paperweights.
