Wow! This is the ultimate pan for a perfect large omelet! With just a bit of butter in the pan, and a low to medium heat setting, I get perfect results every time. I'm not a big fan of non-stick coatings, and this pan proves that if you have quality cookware and use it properly, there is no need for Teflon or any of the other coatings. Clean-up of this pan is a breeze. If something happens to stick, just soak the pan for a little while and scrub gently with a nylon pad. To sum up: for perfect eggs, use All-Clad and you can't go wrong. Their products are expensive, but you should never have to replace them in your lifetime.

Wow, this pan is the dream wok. Ok, ok it's not as big as a wok, but it does the same job. Clean up?... Do I even need to say? It is a snap. Just wipe it off with a sponge and rinse! No scrubbing, even with burned on eggs. Great buy overall!

This pan is truly awesome. It heats up very quickly and completely evenly - absolutely no hot spots. It retains heat excellently - you only need to use low to medium heat. And cleanup is so easy. The stainless steel surface is like no other - it is almost impossible to get something to stick, and once it is clean it is as shiny as the day you brought it home.

The shape of this pan is extremely versatile. Saying it is "wok-like" does it no justice. This is the pan I reach for most of the time. It is great for risotto, sautes, egg dishes, paella - you name it.

Yes, it is pricy, but this pan (and any All-Clad LTD pan) will serve you for a lifetime. And on the question of anodized vs. copper - I see no reason to spend even more on copper unless you are an avid saucier. This line heats and cooks very comparably to copper.

Part of the cachet for me in purchasing an All-Clad product was that their factory is less than 50 miles from my home. I always try to support American MANUFACTURERS, and was quite shocked to find this particular piece labeled "Made in China for All-Clad."
Damn. You can't trust anybody. But as for the product---
It is a solid performer. The non-stick surface is very effective, and remember to follow the directions and cook on a lower heat than you normally would. The thick aluminum transmits heat well, and also holds the heat, so when your item is done, get it off the pan.

I am not a big fan of the All Clad LTD line but I do love this pan. I much prefer the All Clad polished stainless steel line (I have almost every piece and love it) but at time I was making this purchase I didn't know they made a stainless griddle and I also wanted the nonstick surface, I am pretty sure the stainless griddle is not nonstick. This griddle is a perfect size for pancakes. I debated on the grande size, I decided that since I don't make pancakes everyday it didn't make sense to spend the extra money and deal with storing the larger size. Also, I prefer smaller pancakes and this size is a better price and much easier to store. It is a great size for 4 small/medium-sized pancakes. I imagine it would also be more challenging to keep up with more than 4 at a time, particularly of you are making eggs at the same time.
This pan is not dishwasher safe due to the nonstick surface, but don't worry it is a breeze to clean. This pan is very, very well made and is backed by a lifetime warranty. Sometimes this pan is sold {at a special price} if you see it grab it. It is a steal at that price. Once you try All Clad you will be hooked too! Highly recommended! A+!

A well-made piece of equipment, that actually makes cooking more enjoyable! Easy to clean and store. Make wonderful 'dipping' eggs and pancakes.

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.

This pan is fantastic, and has served me very well when making small quantities of sauces (1 qt. isn't a very large pan!). My only complaint about it is that the top edge is suceptible to nicks and scratches. The interior and really the pan as a whole seems nearly invincible, standing up to whatever abuse I dish out. The nicked edge obviously has no effect on its cooking ability, but does somewhat impair the aesthetics of the pan. This rating should really be a 4.5.

I own an INDUCTION cook-top stove.This cook-top cooks using magnetic energy.The magnetic energy cooks by vibrating the metal in the cooking utinsil only, which must be made of a magnetic material, such as steel or iron.All-Clad is noted for being made of steel but I was not told that this pan has an aluminum outside shell, which is non-magnetic. Thus, I own a great pan that is useless to me!Not all All Clad cookware can be used with an Induction stove! Ask mfr. before buying.

First, the induction complaint is ridiculous, like whining because your 110v AC appliance won't plug in to your 12v DC cigarette lighter. All-Clad represents this limitation very clearly, I'm sure the reviewer (who did not read the labels) could quickly sell this pan for near retail because it is so well made that it will last a lifetine with proper care. The nonstick finish is quite durable, the pan heats absolutely evenly, and the handle never gets hot. The pan is well balanced and perfect for flipping omlettes or anything else. The design conserves energy as it distributes heat so efficiently that you never need turn your heat setting past medium to achieve high heat - this does take some getting used to. Very responsive pan and a pleasure to cook with, superior fit and finish. The 10" size is perfect for a couple's everyday needs and for omlettes. It is the pan we use the most in our kitchen and the last one I would surrender, but a larger family might consider the 12" version. Price is high, but its made to last a lifetime and performance is unmatched. We got ours as a wedding gift and I'd recommend it as the perfect gift for a couple with a passion for cooking. If you're going to buy one pan make it this one.

I guess I have the ability to read the description clearly which states the steel/aluminum compilation so I've only experienced great things from this line of cookware.
Disregard the 'one star whiner' who needs an attitude INDUCTION and promptly buy this product.
All Clad LTD will last a life time and the performance is truly awesome!!

If you have used All-Clad before, BEWARE: this is All-Clad only in name, not in quality! I have used All-Clad from many years and have about a dozen pots and pans from their LTD line and each and every one of them I LOVE. Unfortunately, it appears that you can no longer purchase pots of that quality and although the All-Clad label still exists, their quality is very far below that of the older pan I have. I cannot recommend them....and this is very unfortunate because I have been very, very vocal in the past about how wonderful their product line was.

Recently I purchased this pot because I couldn't resist the price...and I am returning it as I have all the other recent LTD All-Clad purchases I have made.

All six LTD All-Clad pots I have purchased recently are made in China (my old pans were made in USA). Three of the pots I returned immediately because of flaws in manufacturing. Of the remaining three, I have used two, both of which I cannot get clean (after much effort) and both of which after only one use look much older then LTD pans I have used daily for many years (and those pans still clean effortlessly!).

Do not buy this product if you are an All-Clad customer! I have not used another product for many years so I can't say how these sub-standard pans perform compared to other companies products, but I would look there before spending the money on these cheap nock-offs.

What a bummer!

I ordered this pan before I read the previous review and as a long time user of All Clad LTD (over 15 years) I was very concerned. Based on that review and before I received the item, I called All Clad and spoke at great length to their customer service department. They assured me that this pan was indeed made in the U.S. and that the only All Clad pieces today that are NOT made in the U.S. - are the large all stainless more inexpensive pasta/soup pots (of which I also own one of and LOVE IT). Still, I was a bit apprehensive but as I have close to 20 other LTD pieces that have weathered the years and lots of use beautifully, I thought I'd "wait and see". Within the first week of receiving this pan it quickly became my new favorite. In fact I never even use my regular 10 inch fry pan (the very first piece of All Clad I ever bought!) any more. I LOVE this pan and highly recommend it. It is a great size for almost anything on the stove top-PLUS it can go right into the oven just as all the others. It cleans beautifully and I look forward to many years of use, knowing that it will look as beautiful 15 years from now as it does today!
