Bottom line: We can’t fully recommend any of the pans that cost less than $100.00. None of the truly cheap pans met our standards. A few of the pans closer to the $100.00 mark were OK, but none was as good as our longtime favorite, which also comes with a useful lid. If you can spend a bit more, we highly recommend the original fully clad skillet, which our tests proved is still the best: the All-Clad d3 Stainless Steel 12" Fry Pan with Lid ($119.99). It’s an investment, but it will last a lifetime.

Please bring back review videos like this one; it's what made this channel a go to for me!
They are advertising for all clad. Chefs don’t use all clad because they have such thin aluminum in the bottom of the pan. A pan with a thick disk bottom is superior and is 1/3 of the price.
@@Me-yf9lt Soooooooo what do chefs use?
My Meyer set had disk bottom. One day the disk from hot hot pot fell on the floor and burned my linoleum!😢😢 had to replace flooring. So I go with all clad. There are more companies selling all clad technology in their pots/pans. Like Kirkland. So don't have to go with All Clad company brand.
@@Me-yf9lt Most commercial kitchens use what is available from their suppliers as they will be abused and damaged. Many use all aluminum as they are cheaper and durable. You will rarely see high end pans in most kitchens except for those very high end kitchens that can afford them.
it is a crime in most countries to disguise a paid advertisement as an unbiased review. they are abusing their reputation as a trustworthy source. How many people have bought all clad pans as a direct result of this fake review? they all have real damages even if they happen to like the product.
thank you for leaving in the scene where the green bean flies out of the pan when you're flipping them. it makes me feel better about my own flipping.
You have no idea how happy I was to see a comparison of the 5 layer pans to the 3 layer.
I agree that the comparison between D5 and D3 was great. I have a larger D5 (4 qt) that is great for cooking for my family. However, from what I read the original D3 is designed for professional chefs and serious home cooks. The D5 is designed for less experienced chefs who are more likely to ignore what they are cooking and burn it. Thus the reason for D5 not heating up as quickly as D3. I also have a 12" D3 skillet and it is so versatile and lightweight compared to my D5 pan with lid.
I have a Marketing background so it is no surprise that All-Clad has come up with D5 and D7 and all sorts of other combinations of pans. It's to keep their name forefront of people's minds and to convince people that the All-Clad they already have isn't quite good enough. It's like smartphones. People feel compelled to buy the latest and greatest.
All-Clad D3 original cookware is fantastic and should be the go-to pots and pans for serious home cooks. I will not buy any other brand of SS cookware.
dang; I just got my first 12" d3 and waifu already wants the smaller sizes; worth having the variety at that price point in your opinion? @Transcend Consulting Inc.
Justin Summers get a carbon steel skillet. It'll be a bit smaller but also is versatile.
I have an induction cooktop and was wondering if the D5 with more layers of steel would be better over the D3. Anyone else with induction have any experience with the extra layers using induction?
@@NeilLauinger I believe it would not be a big difference from what others mentioned above, as only the outermost layer from those 5 layers of D5 pan is induction capable
This is SUCH a VALUABLE review. I’ve been researching and agonizing over what pots to buy. This helped tremendously, now I don’t have to get the super expensive 7 ply!
Right you are!
Sheesh, I didn't even know there was a 7-ply lol!
Buy Kirkland. Rest easy
As a welder, (and someone who also likes to eat occasionally), I appreciate the veracity of your testing and research. I am glad I paid a visit here BEFORE buying a stainless skillet! I'm sold, D3 Allclad it is!
I already knew the All-Clad D3 would be my next fry pan. I appreciate the comparison and explanation as to why it's the best choice.
“Do you need a 5-layer pan? No!” 😆 I love Lisa and these thorough reviews! Keep up the great work!
I believe she said skillet, not pan!
They've had my loyalty for many years now. Love these ladies and gentlemen on this show, all of them.
I want a 35 layer pan!
Fact :Demeyere Proline / Atlantis wins over All Clad
1. Heating properties
2. Reactivity
3. Ease of care
All Clad wins in
1. Usability because it’s lighter.
2. Warranty life time vs 30 years
3. Price.
If you’re going to use a stainless steel pan to toss vegetables as save money buy all clad . If you are going sear meat or any other type of cooking that doesn’t require tossing buy Demeyere.
@@noway2563 okay.
was mauviel in that shoot out?
I've loved my All-Clad stainless cookware set since I got it for a wedding gift over 26 years ago. It came with a 10" skillet, but I've always wanted a bigger one. I've had numerous other 12" sllets over the tears but just treated myself to the All-Clad 12" a few days ago. I was so happy to hear it's you favorite too!
This very review got my attention almost 2 years ago. I only used cast iron up to that point but just knew in my heart that I would love this pan so I bought one and I absolutely love it. This is a one-time buy so the price is absolutely worth it. Thanks so much for your thorough and honest reviews, they have never let me down.
When I first started cooking for myself in 2007 I got an All Clad pan based on their recommendation. That same pan is still cooking for me practically every day. It's just a good pan.
Many housewives in the 50's and 60's used the old Revereware and many homes still have them, ask your mother about them.
@@Niftynorm1yes that's what my mother has.
I have a small 6 or 8 inch Allclad that came with my Caphalon set when I was 22 and working at Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm now 40 and my Caphalon set has lasted me but now needs to be replaced, probably needed to five years ago but my little Allclad is in immaculate shape and is what I've decided I will replace my old set with. I appreciate this video, thank you.
I love my All Clad skillet!! So much so that I also bought 2 sauce pans and a large soup pot. They were expensive, but well worth the cost.
now, how does it look like ?
@@billsomen7953 doesn't matter phony
I owned at one time both the demeyere 11 inch and all clad 12". Hated the handle on the all clad and I actually dislike the sloping sides, I never pick up my pans to toss, I'm a weakling. Love my demeyere, it cooks evenly and cleans up nicer than the all clad which stains over time. Sold the all clad for $50. I bought a few pieces of all clad based on test kitchen reviews, and honestly left me wondering if these reviews are bias.
I wondered the same thing, and then I came to the conclusion that in certain cases, certain product lines, yes, they are. A number of the other review sites are also biased. So, you have to look at many different reviews, and come to your own consensus. That being said, I have found many of the America's Test Kitchen videos to be very useful.
I bought this pan (well the same model but one size bigger) over a year ago. It is one of the best things I have ever bought. It is (literally) the only pan I own and I think it's the only pan I need. Such a great investment, and a healthier option than non stick.
This was so good. I love how you literally answer all our questions.
Not all of our questions. I wanted to know their budget recommendation.
@@tonytone5300 They said under $100 are junk
"literally"
I have the 8 inch and 10 inch D3 All-Clads and love them. Price may seem a little steep but remember, if you take care of it these things will last for life. They are an investment just like cast iron or carbon steel both of which I also have.
This channel is amazing. So thorough and scientific with all of their tests. Love it, thank you!
I love these Test videos thanks for all the hard work you're recommended products never disappoint
This was a big let down for me. They didn't show flour tests, IR thermometer tests, and complained about base size of pan then went on about how a the pan should be flared. One could make a single composite image that compared pans better, and they don't even mention runners up! I own a 10" Tramontina, Cook's Standard, and All-Clad tri-ply pans. All-Clad is my favorite, but I wouldn't replace it with another when I could get the others at less than half the price. They didn't even mention All-Clad's copper core line.
@@madthumbs1564 Yes. I have the Calphalon 10" and I'm quite pleased with it. Even heating, stay-cool handle, and pretty good balance. $47
@@madthumbs1564 Bro, it wasn't a test. This is a commercial for All-Clad. You didn't notice how they didn't mention literally one other brand name?? (you only noticed they didn't mention all-clad's copper line... because the only thing you're paying attention to is the word "all-clad").
... your* recommended products (you're = you are) ...
@@urwholefamilydied I looked for a list of competing brands in the video description and can’t find it.
Very generalized video about what brand they thought was best. Not much information otherwise.
‘‘Tis the season and this video was so on point to answer our questions. Thank you and we appreciate your efforts. All-Clad here we come.
Great insight! I have a few stainless steel All-Clads and I have them for about 7 years. Great pans and just got an induction range and in the market for some more pans. This really helped, thank you!
I bought a Demeyere Atlantis from eBay for $130 or so when I was working in Iraq; that pan went with me to Iraq/Afghanistan/Kuwait/Europe/California/Puerto Rico. Heavy, but no rivets, and has worked on gas, a portable gas burner, electric smoothtop, induction. That, a saucepan, a big stockpot, and a carbon steel wok pretty much cover my cookware needs.
All-Clad d3 might be good enough, but I’d happily put this head to head with a d3 or d5.
All-Clad d3 is the ideal weight for most people. I love the look of Demeyere but it's too damn heavy for the avg cook. As far as performance goes I'd say they're about equal (having used both)...Demyere is easier to clean, though, not much, but every little bit counts when slaving in a hot kitchen.
Demeyere cookware are amazing... my only gripe is the handle.. it’s not riveted like all-clad and is just spot welded onto the pan...
@@chipbobina9693 "Not riveted" is actually a feature since it keeps the inside of the pan clean. I've never had the welds fail in years of use, and due to the geometry of the handle/pan interface I think it isn't subject to that much stress.
There are some Australian pans which are cast as one piece with the handle, which is interesting, but the multi-clad tech makes sense from a thermal and mechanical perspective.
Wow. What an amazing review! Thank you!!!
I come back to these reviews multiple times. I always pick up something new. Love your stuff.
Insane how in-depth and information this video on pans was, and if it was a sponsored video it definitely convinced me
so glad Tobias Funke was able to help you guys out.
*Fünke
Having owned the D3 12" for over a year now and using it a ton... this review is legit. It can be as non-stick as teflon when used the right way, it's easy to clean, durable, sears better than my cast iron, and still (with a little Barkeeper's Friend if I want to) look like the day I bought it... though developing a light seasoning actually contributes well to its non-stick qualities.
Highly recommended... it beats the socks off any pan I've had before.
How would you compare it to a carbon steel? I like the nonstick of carbon steel, but I also like using tomato sauce and acidic foods ofte n which SS is better for
@@IGarrettI Carbon steel isn't that different from cast iron, aside from being thinner/lighter (and therefore slightly inferior heat retention). As someone that owns all three, I don't find that my All-Clad skillet sears better than cast iron or carbon steel, as long as they're being used correctly. I feel it's good to have SS and carbon steel/cast iron. I use SS for one-pot meals and cooking with liquids/high acid foods, and the other two for everything else.
I have both All-Clad. Cooper bottom and D-3 set plus the HA-1 non stick. The versatility gives options for every cooking scenario.
This may be single-handedly one of the best reviews on RUclips.
ATK always with the most thorough, reliable reviews! Great job, as usual.
I have reservations about the honesty of this review.
Demeyere/Zwilling is an excellent line of cookware, and a very well known company, and it isn't mentioned once. Here or on the page linked in the description. Which makes me feel like this just an advertisement for All Clad, considering that their biggest competitor for price/quality has been left out of the running.
I've been saying the same thing. Especially when they compared Le Creuset to Staub and Staub was not even a runner up
@@xedjflowx Yup, nothing worse than charlatan.
ya, duh... they didn't mention ANY pan by name except all-clad (many times). Really?? You're skeptical of this review? LOL.
a lot of good brands weren't mentioned. they mentioned AllClad because it was the previous winner that won again. so, just go buy one and find out before getting emotiona. :)
@@prodigalus Oh, it was the previous winner as well?? Hmmmm I wonder what's going to win next year? LOL. Ya, it's every years "winner" because it's sponsored and they pay to be the "winner".
Very good video: I really wanted to know that. Thank you for sharing the information!
I have SO MUCH RESPECT for Americas Test Kitchen I've been married for as long as they been on the air. I might not buy high end clothing but when it comes to my kitchen and how I prepare food for my family. I buy nothing but the best in quality for healthy meals.I bought my All-Clad years years ago and they look as new as the day we purchased them. Thank you test kitchen for being my guide in this journey of cooking and quality stuff for my kitchen.
I really appreciated this review! Thank you so much for going above and beyond with your research!!!
Great content as always. Please keep making videos!
Goes to show me that buying Cuisinart skillets and saucepan at the thrift store was the best choice over paying full price. Don't just go by brand names. It has the disk bottom. I have had issues cleaning the sides and dealing with quick scorched bottoms. Thank you for explaining this.
I love my all clad. I got a 7 piece set a couple years ago and I'm getting more in the mail today.
Wow that's some all around testing! Thank You!
I have three of these pans .. I bought one at a time.. they are worth every penny but only the All Clad cookware .. the absolutely best meals with all clad
What a great channel and content, thanks!
One year into an all-clad 3 layer 12". Perfect product. Couldn't be more pleased, price completely justified.
wow - really love your kitchen equipment round ups and tests - super informative with practical application instead of just trusting the manufacturer's marketing theory :)
Just got my first stainless pan and it's amazing. It's the demeyere industry 5, not actually that heavy, in 24cm it's 1.2kg, in 28cm it's 1.5kg. Never had such beautiful sears before.
Every presentation put forward by ATK is valuable and just in time to replace my skillets.
Hahahahahahahahaha How's it going paid-for advertising? It's so obvious.

I used to watch your predecessor when I was a child on PBS. I haven't seen anything for awhile and just found out about you guys again. Great videos. Keep being wonderful.
I can't stand them now that they are not on PBS. Most of their stuff is behind a pay-wall and they pretend to be the same. Also, most of the comments here sound fake, like commercials.
I bought a heavy bottom stainless steel pan from IKEA and been using its for over15 years and still going strong. For under 100 dollars. The other one I have is a Fizler which works great for mushroom browning etc.. and retains heat - slightly over 100 dollars.
I got an IKEA 365 skillet about 10 years ago and it still does a great job,.
Just bought the 12 inch saute pan (copper core) with lid at Marshalls tonight for $199. Looked it over good. Didn't see any flaws. I've never had an expensive pan like this, but I'd rather have one good pan than a bunch of crappy ones. Came home and immediately threw away the cheap Walmart teflon bent up one I've been using for several years.
Wow
This lady is the best. Clear cut and to the point. Can we have her do every video from this point out?
Thank you sooooo much, what a time saver. I normally have to spend between 2 and 5 hours researching cookware purchases. Great video!!
Thank you! I bought the all clad years ago based on your recommendation. It's perfect!
Thank you so much for this video. I've been driving myself crazy trying to research and figure out which SS pan would be best to buy. Super helpful.
This is an excellent summary to a comprehensive review.
I ordered one of these to the UK. Had to pay a fortune in import charges on top of the high price of the pan. But I've used it most days for the past year and I absolutely love it. A really great pan.
Love this lady. I have the 14" version of her recommended all-clad and it's great. I also have the straight-sided 12". Also great.
Love Lisa’s reviews - never regretted following her recommendations - more Lisa please :)
Thanks for this video. Very helpful on this black friday weekend.
I was looking for a 12" for my daughter-in-law. She wants to cook more at home to save money and keep hubby slim. I can't argue with that. Thanks ATK!
Great video. It’s the pan I own and it’s better than my skill level. At least I can’t blame the pan. Lol.
Man, I was so pumped up to buy All Clad cookware... then I found out they are having more and more items made in China, instead of USA.
This is a great rundown; exactly what I was looking for. Thanks
Lisa Lisa Lisa -love your reviews! Super helpful and spot on. As a 62 yr old home cook who is very picky about what goes in her kitchen, I mainly watch to see if you validate my choices. Yep. I’m 5 for five.
Im gonna get the pan...im sooooooo very excited!
Such an invaluable service! I rely on your “winners”, and don’t recall a single flub.
"skip anything with a disk bottom" is a flub.
there's a reason some pans should have that (tho not a skillet)
I got an All Clad D5 12 inch skillet from a thrift store for $11 just over a year ago. Some crud and a scorched bottom. A brillo pad, some elbow grease and barkeepers friend, it's my absolute favorite pan now.
Hit on All-Clad a while ago - I'm very tough on my kitchen equipment (well ...very tough on most things). Good to see my experience matched yours (although I never wacked it on a concrete block).
I love my d3 stainless! Invested in quality and receive quality results. It is worth the extra money. I have small hands so I do like my helper handle on the deep 4qt skillet (pan). Thanks for video!
Kate Harkness
Agreed!
Too many try to cheap out with cookware. Then they cook ten thousand dollars worth of food in a "cheaper" alternative, and throw multiples of their savings right into the garbage bin...
Eric Wolfe not sure as to what your comments are directed.
@@kateharkness2555 he is saying that he agrees with your comment and that better cookware produces better results
Another very thorough and logical review video. Lisa is always brilliant. Well done!
If it's thorough, how did Tramontina, KitchenAid, Cook's Standard and many others do in comparison? Where is the flour test, or the data?
In the description they have links to the full results that include Tramotina, and Cook's Standard.
3 (thorough) seconds to dismiss disc layered pans because ... some personal peeve
I am so glad I stumbled on to your fantastic channel! I paid like $40.00 for one of the stainless-steal pan I am currently considering tossing into the trash (recycle bin).
I watched dozens of chefs explaining how to cook with a stainless-steal pan, so I thought it was me. Thank you for all of your work on this topic. I am off to Amazon to give it a shot.
Love this review. Extremely informative.
Picked up two all-clad pans at a yard sale for $15 for both. I felt like I won the lottery!
I found an All-clad without a lid and a Cuisinart with in a scrap metal pile and I gave them $5. Suckers pay retail!
Pulled the plug and caught a sale on the 10pc D3 set, added a couple of non-stick fry pans to round out the set. It's geat to cook with All-Clad cookware. Thanks for the great reviews.
Yes i love mine and reccomend them. Real pleasure to cook with
Bill Bird I just bought the D5 10 piece set last night on a Black Friday sale for $488 shipped... wondering if I should have went with the D3 set.
@@guitaristguy20 Where did you find this deal?
@@guitaristguy20
Nothing wrong with the D5.
As she mentioned, it heats up slower. But it also doesn't cool down as fast when you throw in a steak to sear it. Which also lets you put in a little more food at one time before it becomes overcrowded.
I've been trying to figure out which stainless steel pan is worth the money and I'm so thankful I came across your review! Thank you!!
Great video, very informative and unbiased. Thank you
I love my Tramontina tri-ply pan\pot set. Best budget mfg for tri-ply IMO and an American Test Kitchen recommended product.
I love my Tramontina tri-ply pans also. They were recommended by ATK a few years ago as the next best buy after All Clad. My entire set only cost $119 on sale for two sauce pans with lids, one 10" skillet, one 6 inch skillet and a Dutch oven with a lid. Not everyone can pay over $100 for one cooking item.
I have your favorite All clad pan and I also have a set of the Calphalon tri ply, which I didn’t see you test. They work the same.
Thank you. Sometimes she is just shilling. Some of the larger pans are not suited to flipping food by the handle so she is not always making apples to apples comparisons in these vids. Cuisinart's multi-clad pro line is chronically warped on the bottom, but all the other major competitors are just fine (e.g. Tramontina, Calaphon, etc)
@@DigitalNegative "sometimes" you're kinder than I.
where is demeyere in this?
and I'll put my mauviel (m'cook) against it any day ... tho they never include mauviel (or debuyer)
@@op3129 Demeyere does not fully clad their pans up the sides, whereas All Clad does. It's an inferior product by far. And, frankly, any American metal made product is superior to just about anywhere else (Snap-on tools are a great example of this).
Very informative and I loved the extensive testing done. Great review for the analytical type like myself.
Thank you so much for detailed and thorough explanation. I have been using (since years) aluminum saucepans to boil milk. After watching your videos I got to know that aluminum pots/pans aren’t the safest option. So I have been researching on this topic. Have you guys tested stainless steel saucepan for boiling milk? I’m asking because a bad quality pan will have burnt milk on the surface and it’s a task to clean it. I don’t want to spend a bomb on an All Clad and repent if it didn’t serve the purpose. I think I could also go for a Le Cruset, but its very heavy and I’m not sure if I could use it very comfortably. Your help in this regard will be highly appreciated :)
im not americas test kitchen but I can say that my all clad sauce pan can absolutely boil milk, even sauces, oatmeal, rice etc without burning/sticking at the bottom. I replaced my old aluminum set slowly with all clad, and the difference is astounding.
All clad is the best. Love it
I just bought a 12" D3 All Clad from Bed Bath & Beyond...it was on sale for $99 and with a 20% coupon came to roughly $80...used it tonight for the first time...worked like a charm...best Chicken Marsala I ever made. Thanks ATK for the recommendation.
Great job. Thanks for a clear and comprehensive review.
Even before this video, I knew that All-Clad products were the pinnacle of quality. That being said, (I and I'm sure many casual cooks,) can't afford All-Clad. I did a LOT of shopping before I bought my first set of 3-ply stainless steel cookware and Cuisinart 3-ply came out as a very reasonable alternative. I bought a whole set for the price of an All-Clad skillet (didn't see the $150 one she mentioned) and have never regretted my decision. They cook great.
I've never seen a RUclips version of an America's Test Kitchen review but the ones on TV actually mention the rankings and performance of other brands. This video didn't.
That and considering another comment that it seemed as if she was taking it easy on the All-Clad (I would too. They're expensive), it looked like this was an All-Clad commercial.
Tell us how the others performed. Not everybody has such deep pockets.
Stephen Graves go to Marshall’s and buy all clad for cheaper
Start looking on eBay. Especially for seldom-used pans. Our All Clad hasn't lasted a lifetime, but it is still great after almost thirty years of daily use. Use copper cleaner to clean and polish the stainless steel surfaces, and tiny bits of SOS to remove oxidation from the aluminum edges of the pans (being careful to avoid scratching the outside of the pan.)
Yes I was hoping for the top 3
Ive had the stainless steel pans with the disc on the bottom for 15 years. Theyve held up extremely well despite daily use. Im not sure I need to fork out all that extra dough for one pan that has 3 layers
I dunno. I've been cooking on SS disk bottom (heavy versions) for a while, and while it's still flat and works better than most pans, I just bought a D5 and used it for pudding (notoriously a pain in the butt) and it was like a world of difference. I still don't know if I actually have to stir it until it gets thick.
I love how thorough this is
I bought a Misen 12" . In love with it!
I liked the video, but would have preferred to know what were the top three choices.
Can't do that if it's a paid advertisement by the company of All-Clad. Why would they want their competitors recommended when theyre paying for the video?
WailOfDoom I see a lot of people saying stuff like that but, if it were a paid commercial, wouldn’t it make sense to advertise the more expensive d5?
@@WailOfDoom They literally have a link to their full rankings in the description...

What leads you to think they’re paid?
Tim Selzler thats behind a paywall
I’ve owned the all clad with 3 layers for a year, it’s amazing
"amazing"
why? bc I'm assuming you're comparing it to _something_ for that adjective
How are the sales going? ..... making money?
excellent review as always! The past year I have purchased the 10 piece d5 on sale with coupon and that was a great deal, but the All-Clad "Seconds" sale (which....believe it or not, are not seconds but inventory that they had to clear) I was able to get Thomas Keller's and Copper collection pieces like a butter warmer and 3 quart pot, for instance for 71-80% off. They have these sales 3-5 times a year. Love the wealth of information found on your channel and program. All the best!
I've always found the helper handle useful. I will actually use it to rest on the counter or stove while using my other hand to hold whatever utensil.
I just bought the D5 All Clad Set; I'm happy with purchase but wish this video had come our earlier, there is a major price difference between D3 and D5. I could have saved a few hundred dollars. Keep up the great videos ATK!
You will be very happy with your purchase. Don't beat yourself up over it. You just bought a set that will last you the rest of your life so don't sweat it. The fact that you could afford it is a blessing for you. Now get in the kitchen and cook up a storm.
I really enjoy the review. It's an exceptionally well made video. I only wish you showed results of each test. Rather than just give your recommendation, I would like to also hear enough results so I can make my own determination.
Check the links in the descriptions, they have more details on their site.
this channel saves people so much time and money, thank you so very much
Thank you for this very money saving, complete review!
Could we see a comparison of the copper core to the d3? 🙏
I would like to hear comments on all the pans, brand names and good and bad points on each. Some of us cannot afford AllClad
My All-Clad D3 set just came today. Can't wait to try it out!
I MISSED THESES TYPES OF VIDEOS! Thank you for posting!
What’s the name of the host again? Dan’s lucky to have his name on the title of his videos.

I just bought a 10-piece set of D3 all-clad and I am so thrilled. I even got a free 15” roasting pan when I purchased it. Using my 20% off coupon, I saved $300 (@BBB). I can’t wait to really get cooking. Thanks for the video!review!
Got this All-Glad Pan today at TJmax for $60.00 , lucky me ! I saw this video last week . Thank you !!
I'd been avoiding a few great stainless pans I have for years because of one bad night of stuck foods. But I got over it and seared some steaks recently and it was just incredible. Thanks for the reminder.
Look up videos on how to season stainless steel. Super easy and makes the SS non-stick!
Demeyere beats all clad by light years. (I owned all clad and then replaced all with Demeyere). Reason: 1- perfect flat base that no other cookware ever achieved (all others dome from center when heated and the perfect flat ensures even cooking much much better (especially also with s thin layer of oil, in all clad it will accumulate to the edges leaving the center dry and buns easily, not with Demeyere’s magic). 2- surface area of bottomnplat actually bigger by Demeyere (very smart design) 3- no rivets, so stays perfectly clean (laser welded extremely durable) 4- a special finish that stays shiny and clean (silvinox) 5- if you have induction, Demeyere is 30% more efficient at heat generation. 6- v-shaped handle ensures better heat distribution all the way to the top and heats up less. 7- sturdy as can be and will be passed on for generations!
How does the price compare?
j s s Demeyere is 1.5-2 times the price of All Clad.
All features that no home chef is ever going to notice enough to justify double the price.
OmegaGamingNetwork I was thinking the same thing

let me first explain that there are Demeyere lines with prices comparable to the All Clad D3 but with almost all the features I mention, example Industry Five. Higher end Demeyere (E.g John Pawson) might be compared to all clad copper core. But in both cases the technology is much more advanced for Demeyere. Demeyere is more expensive but more at 25-30% and not double if we make the fair comparison.
And I can tell you those features are pretty visible, especially if one tries to use both pans. A thirty percent higher prices for a lifetime better cooking experience is not too bad.
Love Lisa, could watch her all day. Her videos have real info. for buying decisions.
