Product Description

Amazon.com Review

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 an 18/10 stainless-steel 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 interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling.

This rounded, woklike pan with a narrow, flat bottom makes clear why All-Clad's LTD cookware is so popular among contemporary cooks. It's 12 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep, perfect for stir-frying pad thai or cooking asparagus in black bean sauce under the pan's domed lid. 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

5.0 out of 5 stars All-Clad LTD is the best!, April 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: All-Clad LTD 12-Inch Chef's Pan (Kitchen)

This pan is truly awesome. It heats up very quickly and completely evenly - absolutely no hot spots. It retains heat excellently - you only need to use low to medium heat. And cleanup is so easy. The stainless steel surface is like no other - it is almost impossible to get something to stick, and once it is clean it is as shiny as the day you brought it home.

The shape of this pan is extremely versatile. Saying it is "wok-like" does it no justice. This is the pan I reach for most of the time. It is great for risotto, sautes, egg dishes, paella - you name it.

Yes, it is pricy, but this pan (and any All-Clad LTD pan) will serve you for a lifetime. And on the question of anodized vs. copper - I see no reason to spend even more on copper unless you are an avid saucier. This line heats and cooks very comparably to copper.
