Cookware Reviews

This pan is the -first- I've purchased to start my collection. It is absolutely beautiful and so easy to clean!

With cooking being my number one hobby, this collection will surely be a wonderful gift to pass down to my daughters one day.

This pan is the one I reach for when "grilling" fish. It adds a great flavor that's a close second to the Le Creuset grill pans. The Le Creuset pans yield a slightly better flavor, but the skin of the fish always sticks to the pan. If you eat a lot of fish and want to buy only one grill pan, then All Clad is the one. If you plan to grill mostly other meats and vegetables, then the Le Creuset may be a better option. Or better yet, get both of these great pans!

I've been using grill pans for years and have bought many brands. This is the best one, hands-down. I gave away all five of the others I owned after the first time I used this pan. I love All Clad cookware in general and this is my first non-stick. The results are so superior to any other grill pan I recommend it to everyone. If you want healthy and perfectly prepared grilled food, whether it's fish, meat or vegetables, without a drop of added fat, this pan is for you. Buy it.

I could not believe that I found this pan at this price. I was further astounded when I received it and started cooking on it. It is absolutely fabulous. NY Strip streak comes out truly delicious when you simply sprinkle some salt and cracked pepper on it and then throw it on the grill pan. Also works great for bacon. Also works great for burgers. Also works great for...anything you could think of. For cleaning, I recommend immediately filling it with water after taking the food out, enough to cover all the bottom, and then let it sit til after dinner and you start doing the dishes. If you do this, then I recommend an OXO brush (ASIN B0000CFQOB) with nylon bristles. Gently brush between the grooves to loosen the remaining material and then use a sponge. I recommend the nylon brush because it is hard to get a sponge to get every bit of remaining material along the grooves. But overall this is incredibly easy to clean and even easier to cook on. I still cannot believe I paid only fifty for this item.

I just purchased this grill pan and was so excited to use it. I washed it and seasoned it before use as recommended by the manufacturer. I used it for hamburgers and although the meat tasted great, the pan was so hard to clean. Some of the burnt on pieces got into the grooves and despite my best efforts, I could not get everything off. My husband had to spend 15 mn scraping away with a plastic spoon! I chose this pan instead of the Le Creuset for the supposed easy clean up and I am disappointed.

Excellent product, my first All Clad purchase (usually buy Calphalon). Fantastic for quick grilling lamb chops!

I've owned this grill pan for almost 2 years now and it does a great job of grilling everything from burgers to chicken, fish and thick steaks. It has the ability to heat up to a very high temperature, enabling me to nicely sear the outside of the meat. I can then pop the whole pan in the oven to finish cooking the inside of thick steaks or just to keep warm. As for clean up, the pan does need to sit and soak for a little while but after that, everything comes off with relative ease. No hard scrubbing involved. Overall, I love this product and highly recommend it.

I am a man of 63years, curcumstance has me on my own and learning to cook at this ripe old age. I completely emptied my cabinets in the kitchen and decided I needed new "tools". I have outfitted my kitchen based on the kind people who took the time to write an honest appraisel of the products they have purchased. If you are the kind of cook who turns the burner of the stove on high, plops the food in the pan, and scrapes it out with any thing handy, I suggest you eat out often. However if you have the desire to use and prepare your food with the best, buy this pan and you will never regret it. The fact that it is made in China does not affect the quality at all.. I only wish I could now find a woman as beautiful,functional,dependable and affordable as this pan. Meanwhile I have my all clad.
UPDATE: I FIND IT NECESSARY TO APOLOGIZE TO ANYONE WHO BOUGHT THIS PAN ON MY INTIAL RECOMMENDATION. AFTER A MONTH OF USE THIS PAN HAS BECOME A PURE NUISCANCE. FOOD STICKS AND SURE YOU CAN GET IT CLEAN BY SOAKING OR USING BAR KEEPERS FRIEND AND A DOBIE PAD BUT WHY WORK THAT HARD WHEN THE ... SET OF FABERWARE PANS PUT THIS TO SHAME. YES IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A BARGAIN ... BUT WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK IT'S NOT A VALUE AT ANY PRICE. NO I DO NOT COOK ON HIGH HEAT AND I HAND WASH EVERYTHING. I CANNOT NOT RECCOMEND YOU BUY THIS PAN UNLESS YOU JUST HAVE TO OWN AN ALL CLAD, I LEARNED MY LESSON DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE.

The best thing I ever did was buy this pan. Because it was a cheap lesson to learn and I returned my larger set before opening the box. This is terrible cookware. I have this pan and the wok and tried cooking on it for nearly a year but am now so frustrated that I'm giving it up. I understand how to cook on stainless but still, who needs this aggravation of burning food and not being able to clean the pans!!!! You can not cook an egg on this pan, it's a kitchen disaster! Save your money, test with this pan first!

I thought this looked like a nice pan - so I thought I would give it a try. WOW - It cooks and cleans up like a dream. I ordered another one for myself - and one for my friend.
