All-Clad HA1 Nonstick Fry Pan Set with lids, 2-Piece Set

We need pans that are easy to clean and require no special washing instructions so my husband will actually wash them. That means my cast iron pans are out of the question. We have gone through about a million other non-stick pans in 3-6 months with the longest lasting 12 months but I honestly question whether we should have been using it. That being said these are the perfect solution. I’ve only had them a month but my husband has successfully washed them almost every night without complaint and without me waking up to find the dirty pan in the sink waiting for me to tend to. They heat wonderfully, cook evenly, are heavy duty but not crazy heavy, have a better side-wall than other fry pans (deeper), and have been amazingly non-stick.

We've been hesitant to spend good money on new aluminum pans, especially online, worried about weight and quality. However, our old nonstick pans simply had to be replaced. America's Test Kitchen recommended the All-Clad stainless skillet for best overall features, but my husband's inexperience in the kitchen demanded nonstick. All-Clad's price for this set is actually doable (even competitive), so we went for it. Best. Decision. Possible.We love these pans. They are nice and hefty, which allows for even heat distribution and less burning. They make perfect grilled cheese sandwiches with a uniform, crusty outside and melty goodness inside (fantastic temperature control), and cleanup's a snap, even with cheese spilling off the bread and all over the skillet surface. We were so happy with our choice, we went ahead and replaced our four-quart stock pot with an All-Clad of the same series.A couple of notes: All-Clad's ads boast their "made in USA" status, but that only applies to their all- stainless products. The box for these aluminum, steel-bottom pans state clearly "designed in the US, made in China." This made us hesitant, but the quality couldn't be better. The box also assures the consumer they adhere to all US safety and health standards.Next: a reviewer or two have complained about the uncomfortable handles. My husband agrees 100%. 'Vicious' is the word he uses. We did purchase All-Clad's silicone handle cover set, which sleeve is too loose for our pans. Not a big help. We're going to try a different brand. However, we do like that the handles are metal and so won't burn (an issue with my inexperienced husband). All things considered, we'll deal with the wonky handles because the pans themselves are so great.Finally, we have a gas range, so we don't know how these pans will work on conduction or glass stove tops. They're perfect for gas, though.One more thought: we only use wood utensils, and hand-wash (no dishwasher). We want these pans to last as long as possible. Since cleanup is such a breeze, this isn't an issue. To prevent scratches, we also don't stack them in the cupboard without surface protection between, such as a dishtowel or washcloth (or, you can spring for pricey inserts made for the purpose). Protecting our investment/ making it last longer is a no-brainer.

I read all the reviews prior to purchasing these skillets. I purchased all new cookware, but the set I got did not have the 10 or 12 inch skillets--just an 8in and saute pan. I originally found a 'warehouse' deal and was sent the saucepans, not skillets. Then a second warehouse purchase had bad scratches on it and needed to be returned. However, I was able to see and feel the product and liked it a lot. I checked to see if the water pooled around the edges as reported in some reviews, and did not find that to be the case with the scratched skillets. But the scratches were bad and a deal breaker for me.I was going to purchase the skillets sold open stock for my set and realized that the All-Clads were not that much more expensive, so I chose to purchase them at full price. Here's what I found:PROS:1. The liquid in my set does not pool at the edges--the bottoms are definitely flat.2. The handles are nice and you don't need an oven mitt to use them.3. It definitely cooks faster and much more evenly than my old pans, which were of higher quality as well.4. The clean up is a breeze. I am disabled, and really can't stand at a sink scrubbing pans. Using my spray nozzle, the pan completely washed out. I used soap anyway and rinsed again...but I really didn't need to.5. This is not only beautiful, but solidly built pieces of cookware! It's very thick metal and the coating appears to be very sturdy--much more so than I have seen in all of my recent (in-store) searches of other brands. I don't think I will be needing to purchase fry pans again...and these will be passed down to my daughter.CONS:1. They ARE heavy!!! The helper handle on the 12inch is a must for me. I don't think this would be a good purchase for fragile seniors...it's just...too much.2. Based on the scratches on the returned skillets, it was very evident that the scratches were caused by the 10in skillet being stacked on top of the 12 inch skillet. Perfect circular scratches fit the bottom of the 10in skillet. So DON'T STACK THEM!!! They do get deep gouges in the non-stick material.Although I paid full price and would have wanted to get it on sale, etc., the price on Amazon could not be beat and in the end was a great deal for me. It's a great addition to my new cookware!

The All-Clad 10" and 12" non-stick anodized aluminum skillets are my go-to frying pans. I have owned them for several months, and given them pretty regular home use.Their quality is excellent. I recently bought a Swiss Diamond stew pot made of the same materials, and its walls were only half as thick as the walls of the All-Clad pans.Of course, it's hard to achieve perfection. At first, I found that the All-Clad skillets took a long time to heat up. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Maybe I just got used to it, or maybe the pans actually have to be broken-in! The non-stick coating works very well---at least for now. One manufacturer explained that eventually ALL non-stick pans loose their coating and stop being "non-stick." How long your pan "works" is pretty much a function of its quality. And quality is largely a function of price: "You get what you pay for." Those pans you see advertised on TV are usually good for about 3 years. Their non-stick performance rapidly declines after a few months as their coating quickly wears-off. But, the All-Clad anodized aluminum pan should be safe to use even AFTER it loses the non-stick coating. Some people consider anodized aluminum to be a non-stick surface all by itself.One thing that disappointed me with the All-Clad skillets is that I quickly got scratches on the non-stick surface, even though I carefully avoided using metal spatulas. They SAY you can use PLASTIC utensils. But DON'T. Just use soft wood.The only other drawback is that many women would have a hard time with the weight of the 12" skillet. (Oh, and also this: Until I got used to it, I did not like the "upside down" design of the handles.)Bottom line: These All-Clad skillets should be excellent for the average home cook, especially if he/she is happy with a heavy metal pan.

Great pans mine lasted me just a little under 3 years so I got about 2 1/2 years use out of them. Literally used them every day, sometimes exceedingly high heat and I can be honest that I did not care for them properly. Knowing how I take care of my pans, I’ll probably never buy these again and I’ll just buy something cheaper, but I do absolutely recommend these.

I almost didn't buy these because of the negative reviews regarding the handle comfort and the uneven pan surface. These reviews are NOT accurate. These pans are the best non stick pans I have ever used!Im not sure if these reviewers are morons or competition but either way the negative reviews I have read do not apply to the pans I received which is what is pictured...lol.I have dubbed these guys my miracle pans. Apparently there is cheap pan by that name and these are not them by brand but by function. Food actually is better in these pans mainly because of finished texture and the non stick aspect. Its hard to figure why but its just better somehow.A little history for context-Have spent a couple decades doing elaborate cooking so I know the kitchen-Have used all manner of pans you can buy from the ridiculously expensive to the ultra cheap throw aways.-Was looking for a replacement to a crap ceramic coated pan I used to cook eggs in.-Really want non stick because Im very picky how my eggs come out.-I have been looking for a good egg pan for the same couple decades.-I had never found one till NOW! Amazing little miracle!Just buy them they are the best non stick pan I have ever used. Probably tried 15 or so different types over the years and they all sucked in my humble opinion.I have owned the stainless all clad for years, copper core and even their old non stick. Didn't really care for their old non stick.First trial was over easy eggs with almost 0 oil just enough to season the pan. Result - Flawless over easy eggs that just slid right out after a little nudge from a silicone spoon.The handle is standard All Clad and causes me no issues. I honestly cant believe the snowflakes leaving reviews if this handle causes them discomfort. Cant even see how it would be possible unless you held it upside down and tried to carry a couple cinderblocks with it.Pan is perfectly flat and cooks amazingly evenly. Because of the physics of surface tension and the non stick part if you put fluid in the pan it will attract to itself around the outside ring of the pan. This has nothing to do with the pan but how incredibly nonstick it is. Im honestly shocked by some of the reviews I have read. Just makes you want to face palm.Pans are awesome. I will be buying a backup set incase they stop making them. Will also be buying them as gifts cause they are that good.Will post back if they suck after 6 months but right now they are amazing.

The pans are hard-anodized, which is like giving your cookware a PhD in durability. They can handle the heat like seasoned firefighters, resisting warping and ensuring your kitchen stays drama-free, even when things get sizzling.The nonstick surface is the Houdini of cooking. It makes food slide off the pan like a magic trick, leaving you wondering, "Did I just become a culinary wizard?" It's like having Teflon-coated superhero capes for your pancakes and eggs.The 10-inch pan is like the leading lady of your kitchen. It's the star, stealing the show with its versatility and ample space for flipping pancakes or searing the perfect steak. It's the headliner of your culinary performance.The 12-inch pan is the supporting actor that brings depth to the storyline. It's perfect for those family-sized stir-fries or cooking up a feast for your gastronomically demanding friends. It's the reliable sidekick that never fails to impress.These pans can handle the heat like seasoned performers under the spotlight. They're safe up to 500°F, turning your kitchen into a culinary theater where the cooking drama unfolds with precision and grace.Even the lids are in on the act. They're safe up to 350°F, sealing in the flavors like the grand finale of a masterful cooking performance. It's like the standing ovation for a meal well-cooked.

These are the best nonstick pans I have ever owned since I started cooking over 45 years ago. I’ve been using them for months and they are still like new.

I wanted to invest in some quality pans and All-Clad was highly recommended online. This non stick version came in a two pack set of 10 and 12 inch.It's a heavy duty pan, and is quite heavy to lift. I gave the pan a quick wash and tested it for a few meals. The pan do take longer than the Tefnal to heat up. My usual fried eggs takes longer to cook on medium-high heat. The sausages came out well, a beautiful char.When I made my fried noodles the non stick function came in, and solidify the sauce. The sauce left in the pan was very easy to clean up with minimum effort.

These products work great. They are a great size, very easy to clean. Well made.

I had both of these All Clad frying pans myself, for a couple of years when my son in law mentioned they needed to find replacements for the pans they had been using (another brand) . I strongly recommended these two (10” and 12”) and purchased them for an anniversary gift during Prime days at a very reasonable price. My experience with these non stick frying pans has been very positive- the nonstick coating remains fully in tact, foods cook without additional fat, cleanup is a breeze, the handles are a bit awkward but once used to them I have overcome any initial issues. I have looked after my pans , careful not to use on red hot burners , always use silicon utensils, store with a pad between them to prevent scratches to the finish. Have had numerous non stick fry pans in the past but these are by far the best ones- regard them as an investment in my kitchen tools repertoire! Love them !

Die Pfannen sind wirklich hervorragend im Bratergebnis. Die Beschichtung macht einen guten Eindruck und lässt bisher nichts anhaften. Durch den dicken Sandwichboden ergibt sich keine Wölbung während des Bratens- wir nutzen übrigens Induktion. Einzig der Griff lässt in Sachen Ergonomie echt zu wünschen übrig- er besteht quasi nur aus einer Metallrinne: also die Unterseite ist gewölbt und oberhalb befindet sich die Rinne. Habe mal zwei Fotos hochgeladen, um meinen Eindruck zu verdeutlichen.

Great quality! The non-stick surface works well and I've often eliminated the oil when sautéing. Cleanup is a breeze.
