  • Whether you’re searing meat or making a flavorful sauce, stainless steel pans are versatile, durable, and easy-to-clean cookware staples for any kitchen. But prices, materials, and features vary greatly from one pan to the next. To help you decide which pan is right for you, Connie Chen, a home and kitchen reporter at Insider Reviews, breaks down her three favorite pans in three different price ranges. Plus, hear from Chef Anthony Vitolo, the executive chef at Emilio’s Ballato in New York City, about his stainless steel pan of choice.

    That Sardel pan will spin in your hands when pouring, especially if your hands are wet or if you are using a towel or hotpad. The All Clad handle stays cool and you rarely need a hotpad, and it never slips because it has a groove along the top of the handle that holds spoons and spatulas, and allows you to place your thumb on top which prevents it from spinning. The All Clad D3, 3 ply is also about the same price as the Sardel with better features and warranty. It's the top rated skillet in numerous reviews, in both pro and amateur kitchens.

    • @WS102
      @WS102 3 роки тому +2

      @Any One That's a ridiculous statement, All Clad makes a fantastic product. They make a time tested and highly rated product that remains the #1 cookware brand in commercial and professional kitchens around the world. You may prefer Made-In personally, but there are millions of All Clad users out there that wouldn't trade them for anything else. All Clad handles are made to prevent spinning and increase control of a full and hot pan, although some people take issue with the design. The fact that they're still the most popular design after 50 years shows that the design works, even if a very small percentage of people disagree.

    • @coffeecoder8162
      @coffeecoder8162 2 роки тому +14

      The D5 holds hea better then the D3. This is due to the fact that more dense metal has more thermal mass. As a rule of thumb a heavier pan of the same size is going to be better, due to how it holds heat.
      A problem for many newer cooks is there they don't understand how much temperature effects sticking. You can properly heat a pan, put a handful of chicken cutlets in and they still stick.
      Why is this? If you are using an inexpensive pan made of a thin steel all of the heat from the pan is being transferred into the chicken, cooling the pan. There are ways to avoid this of course; add your cutlets into the pan one at a time, crank the heat so the heat being added is equal to the heat being removed (hard to accomplish if you're a newer cook, and difficult to do on an electric stove without switching burners), or pick a pan that has a higher thermal mass. This means that a pan can give up more heat and still be at a high enough temperature to cook properly.
      The D3 pan is good enough for most things, certainly. However if you just want something that's a bit more consistent, that is why the D5 is there. If you're searing a bunch of chicken before you bake it, you'll be introducing cold product to the pan almost constantly. If you're doing several batches the D3 might cool just a hair too much and you get sticking.
      Demeyere has their Atlantis line that takes this concept to the extreme. It's the same thing with how thick the metal is on commercial griddles.

    If you buy Sardel, it’s going to take atleast a month to get your pan. It ships from Italy. I had a pretty negative experience with the pans I received from them . Both had deep scratches when they arrived. Which was disappointing because I waited so long to get them. I never had that problem with my all clad. That being said; their customer service appears to be pretty good. I loved the feel of the pans but I’ll likely send them back and stick to all clad to avoid the hassle. Unfortunate.

    Worked at crate and barrel and food stuff's in the 1980ies. Purchased all clad use it every day I cook a lot. The pans are just as beautiful as they were when I purchased them.
    I do not let anyone touch them. I heat them first then add oil or butter. I NEVER use high heat. Med heat is perfect. I never clean them right away I let them cool. They are all stainless NO nonstick! Because I heat them first nothing ever sticks to them. They make cooking a joy. They were worth every penny I paid. Over 30 years of service and they look brand new.
    Calphalon pan not so great. Same age as all clad pans over 30 years old. Paid $75.00 in 1980 something for a frying pan. Warped bottom, dark steel finish almost gone. Terrible!! Never again.
    I also have pans from a company called copco, cast iron with enamel finish. French company I think. I love love love them. Fantastic for omelettes. Again heat pan first med heat, eggs slide right off. Love love love. Then there are the Dansk pots and pans they are visible beautiful incredible design, they are my princess pans. They look beautiful on the table but not a work horse like all clad and copco. But they sure look beautiful. They just look good. Best looking stock pot ever. You can make and serve in the same vessel for casual or formal dinning. But not for every day. But they are beautiful!

I have used all the precautions you are suppose to use for stainless still from the very beginning. I have sent to in for warranty and it took them over a month and a half to decide there was nothing they could do for me and then sent it back. Don't waste your money, nothing special there. There website says the handles are made in china.

    Commercial restaurants do not use these outrageously expensive showpiece style cookware. You figure a restaurant has upwards of 30+ pans, not even including pots. They aren't buying pans for $70+. Watch the chef who recommended sardel. He was at home using it on his residential stove top.
    Residential cookware is more about looks then functionality. That doesn't diminish the craftsmanship of say allclad, but who truly needs to spend 5000 plus on a cookware set unless you're trying to get the attention from guests who salivate at your ridiculous spending habits.

      It's a new fad with college chicks. They also croak the ends of sentences. Check it out and see. Ive even heard grown women talk like that. Guess they teach that crap in college .

    All-Clad is a garbage company that makes garbage pans. Everybody makes cladded pans now, and they're much better than those awful All-Clad pans.

    It's regrettable that Connie cannot speak without ending almost every sentence with an uplifting inflection as if it is question.

    First. Nobody cares about stainless steel pans. True chefs use non-stainless steel pans.
