All-Clad Stainless 7 1/2 Inch Fry Pan

Don't waste your money. Buy the 8 in pan. It's a real All-Clad. As I read these reviews, I keep seeing people rave about how good All-Clad is, not really how an individual pan actually performers. Yes, I have All-Clad. Lots of All-Clad. When the company brings out a new pan, I buy it. In the small pans that I use the most, I am likely to have 2 of each. But, I don't recommend the 7-? inch. All-Clad likes to bring out pans that are almost a `try me'; as was the case with the 7 ? inch and 1 qt pan a few years ago. They priced them attractively. To me the pan is handle heavy. It does not sit properly on my electric stove. Thus it has poor heat conductivity. For a few dollars more, buy the 8 inch fry pan. The 8 inch is US made, and the 7 ? inch is imported.

Can enough be said about All-Clad's superior heating? You really can see the difference with the fry pans. No need to heat above medium, even for searing. I got this pan as part of a promotion and I use it when my 8" fry pan is dirty. If you have to pick between the two, I would suggest the 8". Bigger is always better.

Stainless clean up is easy. Put it in the dishwasher. Bar Keepers friend keeps it nice and new looking.

This is THE pan! Fry an egg! Superb. I've been using mine for quite awhile, so I can honestly say I love it! The honeymoon period is over and it's still going strong. Cleans up lickety split. (HINT: Use a kitchen brush to sweep out the pan after soaking in water a few minutes.) Don't let the price keep you from these wonderful, quality pans. I love it and I'd buy a whole set if I could. (I've been cooking for over 30 years.) 5 STARS + is my rating.

I bought this to try out the All-clad line of cookware. I thought this would be good to fry a couple of eggs since I like to flip them without a spatula. Man was I wrong. This pan is so heavy that flipping would be difficult even if I could prevent the eggs from sticking and the handle is so heavy relative to the pan that it won't lay flat on the burner. It's not practical for much and I never use it anymore.

This was my first all clad piece. I decided it was time to try the best and the price was right on this one. It is such a good looking pan and distributes the heat so well that I now have started to replace all of my pans with all clad.
