Editorial Review:
Present the perfect French Omelette from this 14-in. All-Clad LTD Skillet. With a heavy aluminum core that covers the bottom and the sides, heat penetrates food evenly, and kept at a medium temperature, will cook eggs evenly without burning. Nonstick surface is ideal for sticky and delicate foods like eggs, sauces and crepes. The revolutionary high-grade material won't crack or peel and lasts longest when plastic or wood utensils are used. In addition, the hard-anodized exterior gives the pan a commercial look and is extra thick so it won't crack or peel. It's a pan you'll reach for time and again. All-Clad LTD cookware is crafted from three permanently bonded layers of metal. A layer of pure aluminum rests between a charcoal black anodized aluminum exterior with an 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface. Sleek and functional, each piece is heavy weight and provides exceptional cooking performance by evenly distributing and retaining heat. Features long stay cool handles.
Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal black, hard anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and the interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel.
This classic slope-sided fry pan makes clear why All-Clad's LTD cookware is so popular among contemporary cooks. It's an imposing 14 inches in diameter (and 2 inches deep), large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home where big meals are prepared. Its long, polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. Like the pan's helper handle, it stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

All-Clad is the best overall.:
The ongoing debate over cookware at my house is over: All-Clad is the best cookware overall and is worth the extra money. Our coppers tarnish and require retinning. Our encapsulated disk cookware (Reverere and Farberware) suffer from loose and broken plastic handles and too-small disks which limit the cooking area of the fry pans. The biggest debate was between Calphalon and All-Clad LTD nonstick models. My wife really liked the lighter weight of Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick line. After living for both... more info
Great item to add to your collection:
Was very please with my 8-inch nonstick All Clad fry pan. It has been a great addition to my other All Clad pans. I needed a non-stick pan to make a basic fried egg, grilled cheese sandwich, etc., and this was just the pan. It's a must have and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
Cooks great but spend all your free time scrubbing the exterior to keep nice looking:
I've had All Clad LTD pans for a number of years now. I usually cook several times a day almost everyday & although these pans cook beautifully and the interior looks beautiful & cleans up easily, the anodized exterior looks terrible now. I wouldn't mind so much but I have them hanging on decorative pot rack. For that reason I want to replace them with the less expensive version in stainless steel but the financial loss is killing me. I don't have room in my small kitchen to put them away. We've had... more info
Best non-stick I've ever had:
We've had this for almost two years- and it gets used on average 2-3 times per week. Its still in fantastic shape. No scratches/flaking of surface, in spite of occasional abuse from visiting "chefs" using metal utensils and too-high heat. Primarily cook eggs, sometimes for sauteeing fish. Non-stick is excellent. Definitely worth the money- I'd had inexpensive non-sticks before, and they never lasted for long, no matter how careful we were.
