I was very hesitant to buy this pan because there were no reviews on the product page and the price was better by far than any other sites I had searched. Their product photo was small so I thought they were hiding something. Then I decided either I wouldn't get a lid or it would be one of the lid's that used to be made in China that didn't fit well. I'm just being honest because in most cases I probably would have been afraid to take a chance. The company feedback on other items was very good. In the 12 hours I took to try and decide whether to go for it 2 of the 3 available pans sold so I decided to take a chance.
This pan is truly perfection. I am housebound and had never seen the D5 in person and wish I had many more pieces. I do have the copper core set because I had enough points to get a 7 piece set without paying cash plus it was the only set the site had in all clad. Both the copper core and D5 arrived on the same day. I really like the look of the brushed D5 and will be searching for a 3 qt. in it because I use that size saucepan most frequently. I made a french vanilla bean custard for homemade ice cream in the D5 yesterday and it was pure pleasure. Prior to last Friday, I had only inexpensive non stick saucepans I bought years ago from qvc plus odds and ends non stick specialty pans and one all clad older stainless skillet. There was no comparison to the control I had over my gas heat in the D5 compared to a similar french vanilla bean custard I made the week before in the older stainless non stick. I will probably find I like the copper core better for some cooking and the D5 better for others. It is substantial, looks beautiful with stainless in the kitchen and will be cherished. I received it in a manufacturers box very quickly. It's so nice when a seller and the product are better than you imagined and I wanted to be sure this review was available for anyone else that may hesistate.

This pan is all you could ask for--well balanced, heats evenly, cleans easily. All-Clad is expensive but worth the extra.Honest reviews on All-Clad d5 Brushed Stainless Steel Saucepan with Helper Handle
Yep, these ain't cheap but if your serious about your cooking and enjoy your time in the kitchen whisking up your favorite recipe you should consider investing in high quality cookware.For years I hesitated and settled for good quality imitations such as the Emeril's cookware but finally decided to treat myself to the real thing and find out if they are worth the high prices. Yes they certainty do. No hot spots, better results at lower heat, tight lids that allow even lower heats due to fantastic heat retention (just use a higher initial temperature put the lid on and reduce to low/medium and you get a better result than having to use med/high on other less efficient wares)
I got the same satisfaction than when I decided to buy chef quality knives ... Once you cut and dice with a "real pro knife" you know why it cost $250.
I think of these pots as an investment and a heirloom to pass on to my kids. These things are so well built that you know they will last forever (proper care of course)
I read reviews stating that you will do just as good with the classic trii-ply stainless but these are truly a step ahead. How can two layers of aluminum not be better than one? It keeps a uniform heat over the entire surface and sides at lower temperatures, perfect for braising, slow cooking, stews etc and also quickly searing and pan frying without hot spots trying to shuffle the food around so that each gets a shot at it ... With these the heat is uniform all around, just don't crowed the pieces during the searing process.
Yep I did pay a small fortune for a custom hand picked set but these are worth every penny.
Btw don't get drawn into buying the "sets" you don't really save much except if you really need the huge 8 and 12 qt stock pots and prefer frying pans over skillets.
I selected the 11 and 13 inch skillets with lids, the 1.5 and 3 qt sauce pans, the 3qt casserole steamer combo, the 4 qt sauté pan, the 6 qt deep sauté pot and 6 qt fry basket. That's the equivalent of 16 pieces for the price of their advertised 14 piece set. FYI I keep my Emeril's 6 qt stock pot that I will use for deep frying on my induction portable burner (it has a copper core and I won't suffer if it gets stained with grease frying at higher temperatures)
I prefer skillets and after researching realized that the 13 inch can also be used as a paella pan as they are similar except for the handle.
Word of caution, these are heavy, best suited for men or strong women not afraid to handle them.
