Now, my view on these AllClad pans is that they are the only pans you're ever going to have to buy.
Cites build quality
Whereas, what I say, let's just go with a really super high quality um allclad stainless steel pan.
what i said is set your base level at d3 and then go from there kind of as budget and needs dictate and you can't go wrong
Cites price
so guess what i tried a d3 and i like it i like it a lot
Cites build quality, weight
i really do like this all clad d3 stainless steel frying pan been cooking in it heavily for about six months now so it's part of my go-to frying pan rotation it's easy to move around seems to be well made and most importantly it produces a ton of delicious food it gets a thumbs up
A $150 stainless pan used for 20 years is infinitely cheaper than buying a $40 nonstick pan every 2 years.

one of the great things about these pants is it is compatible with multiple forms of heating in our home we only have an electric not the coiled electric but like the glass electric and it's worked perfectly fine I've never had any issues with it at all
Cites even heating, heat conduction, maintenance, non-stick surface, oven safe, scratch resistance, stovetop compatibility
lastly number four they're oven proof you want to be able to sear something and then finish the cook in the oven
it is low fuss low maintenance I can use whatever utensils I want in this pan one of the things that makes this different from say a cast iron pan you wash it you don't have to worry about soap and I don't have to worry about seasoning it
the even heat distribution just allows you to get a sear from edge to edge as long as all of the bottom of the pan is touching the element I've never ever had problems with it really really great heat conductor
I can still cook things in it almost as if it was a non-stick pan
it's a tri-ply pan it has a stainless steel cook surface and underneath is an induction compatible stainless steel exterior in between is a thick layer of aluminum aluminum is almost as good as copper when it comes to heat conductivity
Cites even heating, heat retention, non-stick surface, size and capacity, heat conduction
what this illustrates is that the d3 has good heat conductivity that aluminum core spreads the heat really well here you can see that the okra is sizzling and frying edge to edge
the 12 inch model easily holds four boneless pork chops you could probably get a fifth in there if you wanted to and you see that the pan produces nice even browning
these stainless steel d3 actually produce nice non-stick bacon the way you get non-stick bacon in stainless steel is simply to start the bacon off in a cold pan give it an early flip and then cook it as normal and it's non-stick
i note that these two steaks are over a pound each and they fit in this 12 inch d3 nicely and the pan maintained a sear i give those a good two minutes or so on the first side look at that crust that's a very nice crust
Cook's Illustrated and America's Test Kitchen have repeatedly placed the All-Clad D3 at the top of fully clad rankings citing tighter heat distribution edge to edge.

The overall winner, the All-Clad D3. On pure performance and longevity, [music] it takes two rounds plus a tie. The 600° oven ceiling, the consistently tighter heat distribution flagged by Cook's Illustrated, [music] and the long-term review pattern across 10-plus years, all point the same direction. It's the superior…
Now that pan cooks beautifully and it's tough as nails.
Cites durability, warp resistance
I have thermally shocked it and whacked it on concrete, and it doesn't care.
In the $100 to $200 range, Made In, All-Clad D3 Everyday, and Heritage Steel Eater Series are the safest long-term buys. I've used all three for years and they consistently perform great.
This pan heats incredibly evenly and the heat retention results were excellent.

Most importantly, the handle has a more subtle groove that's much more comfortable and it's almost an inch longer. This might be my favorite handle design. It's safe and functional, comfortable and it looks good.

For most people, D3 is the best option. It's less expensive, heats up faster, and has that traditional shiny appearance.

In fact, Copper Core and G5 heat up more quickly than almost all of the 30+ brands I've tested.

For example, D3 is the most well-rounded collection.
Cites versatility
Graphite is highly conductive and lightweight, so these pans heat fast and are easy to maneuver.
Cites heat control, heating speed, weight
Copper Core and G5 pans pans react incredibly fast to temperature changes.
And since copper has a much higher thermal conductivity than aluminum and steel, this cookware heats up and responds to temperature changes more quickly.
Cites heat control, heating speed
I tested All-Clad Copper Core against the start-up brand Goldilocks, and the chicken browned much faster in the All-Clad pan due to the fast-heating copper.
For context, Copper Core and G5 pans boiled two cups of water about 20% faster than D3, HA1, and D5 pans in my standard heat conduction test.

the center of the old clay pan is 171 and the center of the costco pan is at 143. so the all plaid pan comes up to temperature faster than the costco pan
so at 5 minutes and 15 seconds this is pretty much boiling that is starting to boil the all-clad pan comes up to temperature faster
But I do know that I can scrub it as hard as I want to with one of these, which is also made out of stainless steel.
Cites ease of cleaning, safety, scratch resistance
My view is I know this is non-toxic. I know I can cook anything in here and it's not going to give off into my food.
But even when I blackened the sides from oil splattering all over it, I can eventually scrape it out with this.
it can get off the stains that have maybe been on there for years because I had stains on these
This is probably a 15y old pan and it is used every single day to cook things from eggs to sauces to meat to anything I'm

is that kind of indent in the handle great for if you want to hold it and put your thumb inside it allows you to have like a better grip which is totally underrated but a really great design feature
Cites ergonomics, handle, weight
the allclad is not super heavy I love the kind of weight that it has unlike a cast iron pan which is you know know a little bit of a workout versus like an aluminum pan which is really really light
there is the aesthetic part of owning this pen I just like the way it looks I like the way it feels in my hand

I like the brush steel it looks like more worn in rather than the kind of high class French look
the pan can go from stove top to oven to finish the cooking that stainless steel handle is oven safe it can handle higher temperatures in the oven

it seemed to work well on both the induction and the electric just preheat the pan properly
i paid right around 125 dollars for this thing as of when i'm doing the video these fluctuate between 120 and 130 usually with a lid and occasionally you will find a screaming deal where these things are on sale for somewhere around 100 and if i see one at 100 i will probably buy another one

Both still cook well. >> [music] >> But the All-Clad ages slower.
All right, I have to admit that while I loved cooking in copper skillets, their performance only slightly outpaced the pan we already recommend, which is the all-clad stainless 12 inch fry pan with lid.

However, it’s made in the USA, the brushed finish hides fingerprints and smudges, and the performance is excellent.

If you’re a fan of the handle, All-Clad D5 is worth the investment.
And our best copper core option is the All-Clad Copper Core Five-Ply Bonded Fry Pan and that one is 12 inches and $265.
It was a terrific performer.
Where this pan stands out is the design. You get a beautiful copper ring exposed around the exterior and the handle is nearly two inches longer than D3.

If you want precise control over your cooking, go with D3.
If you're a multitasker in the kitchen and prefer more forgiving cookware, you might want to consider D5.
If you love the brushed, matte look, D5 is the only option.
All-Clad modified the handle designed slightly with the D3 Everyday collection. They made the indentation much more subtle so your hand doesn't sink in as much. You still get a safe and secure grip but the handle is more comfortable to hold.

so i did manage to get them clean it took at least 15 minutes to clean each one it was really uncomfortable boiling them with the bar keepers friend really made the difference
but on the all clad i had to use this scraper to get it off actually used it on both seemed like there was more gunk build up on the ball clad

but as you can see it's booking a lot faster i thought it would um it is kind of doing the same behavior because you see it's right there there but overall to me that's pretty pretty good
i have seen some pants that are just like it's terrible like i have a visions glass skillet yeah they don't eat evenly at all so i thought i thought this is obviously a pretty decent result
all right so that is how it turned out um i don't know if a hotter pan would have helped out with that but it worked uh deglazing will most likely take all this off should be very easily but i would give that i mean i i'd give it a pass that's more technique and everything but it's the pan to be honest great
uh searing i've had no issues with it
uh clean has been easy
it has all clad's very controversial handle complaints is that it digs into the palm as you can see so they put this they redesign it put the snub here um i would never hold this over a burner like this because you're gonna get burned doing that and it still digs in
are we paying more for something a little bit hyped up with five ply that was the same in quality but less money and less hype 25 years ago so this I think has been an interesting comparison I wanted to know and I think these guys are really the same a 25-year-old D3 is really the same to me as a brand new D5
Cites price (against)
so then in the mid 2000s maybe the late 2000s D5 was introduced on the market and it was a Smash Hit so the original triclad or what we now called D3 started to collect dust on the shelves and D5 was all that we sold it was sold in two different finishes in a stainless brushed and stainless polished and both of them…

The copper results in fast even heating, but it makes this pan heavy and much more pricey.

Beside price, the main downside is the handle. It has a deep groove on top that prevents your hand from slipping, but it's not the most comfortable design to hold.

The stainless steel core diffuses heat transfer which makes the cookware heat up slower but more evenly.

However some cookware collections such as All-Clad Copper Core and Hestan CopperBond use copper as the core ply because it's an even better heat conductor than aluminum.

Alongside all of these pans, we also tried all the cooking tests in our favorite traditional skillet, the All-Clad D3, just to see how they compared.

After three minutes, All-Clad Copper Core, Hestan CopperBond, and Hestan ProBond were the hottest in the center, but All-Clad D3 had the most uniform temperature.

Lastly, steel is stronger than aluminum, so D5's steel core layer makes it even more durable and less likely to warp.

First, the thin steel core diffuses heat transfer which makes it heat slower but more evenly.
Cites even heating, heat control
Second, D5 is more forgiving. If you turn the heat up too high, it takes a little longer to react. The same goes for when you turn the heat down. This may sound like a negative but it gives you some leeway while you're cooking.
This helps you avoid burning food but doesn't give you the control that you might need for certain dishes.
However, because of their high thermal conductivity, Copper Core and G5 pans don’t retain heat as well as All-Clad D3 and D5 pans.
Two judgements rest on this sentence:
D5 heats slower and more evenly and is more forgiving, so you’re less likely to burn or overcook your food if you accidentally turn the heat too high.

Fortunately, All-Clad has listened to this feedback, and newer collections, like D3 Everyday, G5, and Essentials, have newly designed handles with a much more subtle indentation on top.

If those brands are out of your budget, the next best options are Made In, Heritage Steel Eater Series and All-Clad D3 Everyday. All three are roughly 3 mm thick with wide cooking surfaces and comfortable handles. They don't retain heat as long as the heavier pans, but they heat faster and are easier to handle.

and then these two are actually pretty comparable I have to say even with a smaller pan these two actually look pretty similar all clad in the Heston with the demire kind of in the lead there

you know Demeyer industry and Demeyer Proline specifically um you know it has met our expectations over and over and over and over again it's it's such high quality cookware that you know when people send us cookware for testing that's our Benchmark so we're like okay well if it cost X and it does why then you know it…
Cites build quality
honestly they all they're all great pants they all did a great job for me the the Far and Away lead is this guy um but for just a small eight inch pan I'm pretty pretty happy with this one too
so in summary like i said in the beginning of at the beginning of the video my choice very clearly without a doubt the prolonged seven okay and that's and that's also because i like heavy pants i don't mind it
Cites weight
but um but what would i personally recommend um if you really don't want the 30 big heavy proline seven my first choice my first alternative would actually be the 28 centimeter per line set okay
so as you spend more money on cookware stainless or cast iron the quality difference on how they cook starts to narrow to a point where these two pans that are two of the best quality pans in the world cook very very similarly they do a lot of the same sort of thing
really really good pans as I've said many times before. I still really enjoy using them even at almost 5 years.
but wherever you are in the world search it out get your hands on it try it out you know invest in one piece and i know you will not have any regrets

so if you like a thicker heavier stainless steel Skillet one with a lot of thermal mass that produces delicious food and you don't mind getting out your wallet this de Meyer Proline Atlantis is a fantastic choice

the thickness of this is 4.8 millimeters which is extremely thick um and again you i i don't know if there's another stainless skillet or frying pan that's as thick as this i may be wrong but you'll be it'll be hard to find one that's this thick

they are expensive, right? Especially if you live outside the EU. For example, the price here in New Zealand just for this 24 cm is over $500, right? And that's quite frankly ludicrous.
Cites price (against)
with that 20 20 cm model, you are really not getting any value for your money, so I would stay away from that one.
I will say that the quality of these pans, the quality of the metal of these pans, are obviously very high. You can just tell by looking at them and feeling them.
Cites build quality, durability
so it starts to and actually really does behave more like cast iron than regular stainless steel that you're used to so using a proline pan will give you a lot of the same results of using cast iron which is extraordinary

so that's the big big advantage of why you would spend money on atlantis and on proline is that it gives you that nice buffer things happen more slowly heat kind of moves through the pan up and down at a slower rate and you don't find all of a sudden you've gone from kind of browning to burning it just doesn't happen…
it is you know the capacity in terms of the searing is much much higher with a prolong okay and i would even say it's disproportional um when you consider the 30 percent temperature sorry when you consider the 30 percent weight difference okay it seems that this perline can handle much much more in you know relative…
Cites heat retention, size and capacity
in the last video i i said that um even with a 28 centimeter model pro line i was able to beautifully seal ten chicken drumsticks and that's a pretty heavy load you know 10 chicken drumsticks that's what is a kilogram or maybe even more medium sized chicken drumsticks
so in that sense the pro line for me is also an easier pen it's a more friendly pen to use because it gives you a larger margin for error and that was you know in my cooking test and that was very easy to see
this is 2.4 kilograms so the 28 centimeter model of the problem 7 is still heavier than the 32 centimeter version of the industry 5. okay and this is able to give you that really beautiful sear it's able to take a much higher load compared to this 32 centimeter industry 5.
i didn't see that on myself with this pen with this proline 7 the bass remains perfectly flat okay with this pan even while medium heat
Cites base and rim, searing and crust
with the pro line the pan was able to maintain a very nice serious sizzling sound you know this maintaining the seer uh continuously throughout from start to finish
the demire on the high temp sear test on the flat top it did not warp we got that fan screaming hot smoking and it didn't warp so I really do like that it has a lot of thermal Mass

I want to show that the pan can hold eight yes eight boneless pork chops at once without any crowding eight pork chops in one pan one reason it's taking me so long to do this review is I don't often need to use a pan that's this big but when we have people coming over for Sunday dinner family coming over you need to…
holds two ribeye steaks that's how big it is and there's still plenty of room in the pan
but I think the stainless steel here if you need one pan that does everything it did a more than adequate really good job on those steaks
this one the proline seven two point seven four kilograms very very heavy okay um you yeah you normally don't find a stainless steel skillet this heavy okay this is really very heavy which i like which is an advantage to me may be a detriment to some other people
Cites weight
and it's not also not the whitest between somewhere in between this is 2.4 okay so it is heavier than the 1.9 but it's lighter than the 2.7 so this could be a good compromise
the 20 cm Proline is built different, okay? So, the 24, 28, and 32 cm Proline are 4.8 mm thick, and that's why you want to buy Proline, right? That's the whole reason that you're buying a Proline. But the 20 cm Proline is only 3 mm thick, okay? So, it's basically like a Industry or Multiline with an with a Proline…
Cites build quality (against)
a 20 cm pan is just too small, right? It's too small to really be useful. It's barely enough to fry one egg or maybe a couple of sausages or a small piece of meat, and that's pretty much it.
Cites size and capacity (against), stovetop compatibility (against)
Firstly, ask yourself, do you really need something that big? Personally, I do not.
the bottom diameter of this pan is approximately 26 cm, so that's very large. And that's too big for most ceramic and induction flat tops.
let's quickly go through the three reasons why you should not buy the Proline, and which I've talked about before.
I don't recommend this one because first of all, a 20 cm pan is just too small, right?
it's it's wonderfully heavy for people that don't love heavy cookware it could be a bit of a problem

so it's really important before you buy a skillet from proline that you would try it feel it get it in your hand make sure if you buy from somebody online that you have a return policy that's really easy to deal with
so people that find cast iron is problematic for whatever reason they don't like candles they think it's dirty whatever you get the high end result of high-end cast iron from a stainless steel pan which is amazing

cooking here in the demire produced an absolutely fantastic centerpiece for this delicious meal
there's a lot of steam and bubbling in this ground beef and I can drag a spatula through here and nothing is sticking once that moisture evaporates and steams away then we get some sizzling and crackling and Browning I thought the the Meijer did a nice job here
it looks like the pan is very even and perhaps more even than my cooktop
it's a thick heavy pan you can kind of maintain a sear when it comes to searing a steak
if you have any trouble with the weight of pans you will probably actually not like this to Meijer it is significantly heavier and more difficult to move around than other pans even with that helper handle which is absolutely necessary so this is not a pan you want to use to move or flip food

on the demire my thumb is out here and even though this pan is a pound lighter it is significantly more difficult to move around now I am obviously very strong and powerful but I gotta say this pan is kind of tough to move it definitely needs the helper handle and I've noticed when I cook picking it up and trying to…

Cites build quality, weight
these pans are not a whole lot different in weight this is a larger pan of course so it feels a little bit heavier but the weight quality of these are very very very similar
you may want something that responds faster to heat changes, okay? Because these are so thick and so heavy, they will respond slower than a pan that's built thinner and lighter.

The first of all is they are too heavy, okay? So, if they're too heavy, then you're not going to use them.

personally, I think the concern with the handle is not really a valid reason to not buy these pans. That's only because the possibility of these handles falling off is really no higher than the possibility of any high-quality product being faulty, right?
Cites handle
let's just take a brief moment to appreciate how shiny these pans still are. I did give them a clean with Bar Keepers Friend a couple of days ago. Um so, that's why they look nice and shiny. And the thing about these pans is that if you clean them regularly with something like Bar Keepers Friend, they will always look…

because this pan is so thick and heavy it may not be quite as responsive as a little bit thinner pan and it may have taken a little bit longer for that change to take effect so I was cooking up around six or seven went back down to six or five and then I went down to four so a full three notches and these were still…

because I don't really care if I get a bit of scratching in my stainless steel cookware yeah it doesn't make a difference it doesn't really make a difference you know when when you look at a nice clean piece of the mire or all Clyde for instance it's got some scratches in the surface I don't really care no

the heat distribution with these two pens it's about the same and it's always much better on the gas cooktop or on an electric top if you're you know if the hub covers the whole base of the pan but because my does not cover the whole base of the pen on both of these pans i get about a 40 to 50 degree difference um…
