I read many reviews before settling on this one. I love it the moment I opened the box. I wanted to purchase All-Clad but it was a little over my budget. Then I read reviews about Emerilware and what some professional chefs say about it, and I decided to go for it. I have no regrets and intent to purchase more Emerilware. This is NOT All-Clad, but by All-Clad. Great pan overall!

I received this 3 qt Emerilware saucepan from All-Clad after sending in my good 3/12 qt Emerilware saucepan under warantee. The nonstick coating was peeling. I bought the 3 1/2 qt and a 2 1/2 qt at the same time, about 3 years ago, each had a lifetime warantee. They were made in Korea, designed by All-Clad. The metal was heavy and solid, advertised as 5 mm.

The replacement pan (the sauce pan being reviewed) is stamped 3 qt (I returned a 3 1/2 qt), but is identical in dimensions to my older 2 1/2 qt Emerilware, except 12 ounces lighter (yes, LIGHTER than the pan marked 2 1/2 qt). The metal is thinner, perhaps nearly 1/2 as thick, and I would never have bought the sauce pan of that thickness. This pan is made in China.

I wouldn't buy this pan knowing what I know. I'd look for something heavier. And the lifetime warantee is no good to you, if they no longer make an item of the same quality as what you are returning. I feel cheated with little recourse.

I've used one of these pots for over 2 years now. Over that time the pot has taken a great deal of abuse including being subject to an on burner with nothing in the pot for over an hour. Multiple episodes of ingredients burned to a crisp after forgetting that I was cooking something. Despite all this the inside of the pot is as good as new. I've been using non-stick cookware for many years now and this pot is the best I've ever used. Its absolutely indestructible. If you find one I highly recommend you buy it.

This is my go-to pan for sauces and my morning oatmeal. It's very sturdy with a fairly good non-stick surface. I say "fairly good" because proteins occasionally adhere to the surface and are a p-i-t-a to scrub off (not so great making oatmeal with egg whites). I'd still recommend this if you solely need it for cooking a quick can of soup or simmering a sauce.
