This is a really good pan. Nothing sticks to it and it is so easy to care for. Clean up is a snap. Soap and water does the work on the clean-up. Great pan..follow the instructions and it will last a long time.

Great wok - never realized ho versatile having a wok can be. Great for stir frying rice, and veggies. Non stick coating is great use very little oil and super easy to clean! It is huge so takes up a lot of room on counter/stove- might have to buy a smaller version next time!

This pot is heat resistant.

This is a great for cooking.

That it's a great value

I like how even it cooks

Five Stars

love this pot makes cooking easy

Can you tell how much quartz it can hold!

no sorry, do know holds 3 cups of cooked rice

Is it Naturally non stick or you have something on it to make ot non stick?

I use very little oil. Everything I cook in it, just wipes clean. Love this pot. Buying another!

Very good deal

I just love cooking now this Dutch oven cooks beautifully nothing sticks you can literally wipe it clean and the color is so vibrant just love it going to order another preferably a different color hopefully.

Looks beautiful but is small and thin.

…Haven't used to cook yet.… Update: I have used this caldero to cook.…The cooking process was faster and I love this little thing.…

Love!

This pot can do no wrong and it cooks rice like a charm!!…

Can i do 3 cup rice?

just guessing but think 3 cups of rice requires large pot!!!this pot I would say is medium...I stem whole cabbage which takes a lot of room before fully cooked ..hope this helps

Very important to me

Perfect for cooking.…

Best Cooking Equipment

excellent product, everyone should have one in their kitchen

It's the calm center of the cook

No surprises. No hot spots, no wobble, great even heating, lid fits perfectly, light weight. Med to med-high should be plenty for most uses because it conducts heat so efficiently. Goes from stove top to oven effortlessly. Best pan I've ever used.

Cook It Up.

Cooks great for using Stainless Steel!

Can this be used to cook for someone allergic to aluminum?

Yes. While stainless steel is a better cooking surface, aluminum is a a better heat conductor than steel, which is why it is used in this multi-clad cookware. Don't worry though, the aluminum is sandwiched between inner and outer layers of stainless steel. It will not touch the food. Chefs Corner Store

I don't cook with a lot or any oil at times. Will this pan be a good choice for that or will food be sticking and burning on the bottom of the pan?

I cook with evo ,say a couple teaspoons . The stickiness is what makes for good soups and veggies.

Pro Tool for Serious Cooking

It’s sort of everything you’d expect from a professional stainless steel pan. It’s almost perfect. I may be a bit strict in giving it mostly 4 stars and not 5 but I feel the heat distribution could be better. It’s quite as “amazing” as advertised but it is indeed very good. Cleaning isn’t always as easy as advertised but mostly good too.…

Cooking

Awesome. D3 All-Clad, definitely the worth the money.

a must forthe serious cook

great price at around $100.00! worth substantially more.

Would this be considered on the heavier side? I'm looking for something with a heavy feel unlike a lot of the lighter ones in stores around here. Ty.

AlClad 41126 is heavy and the best pan I have ever cooked in.

Is the inside bottom, the bottom that touches the food, flat. I want a fry pan that does not have a convex or domed interior bottom.

Yes, it's completely flat. I'm loving how this pan cooks. You don't need super high heat as it cooks evenly. So much better/easier than coated pans.

Cooks an egg grest

Cleans nicely

great pan to use for those of us with arthritic weak hands and fingers

Liked that the handle was easy for me to manage and that it cooks well.

Best 8 fry pan we have ever used

Easy cleanup and excellent no stick cooking.

I have a glass cook-top. Is the outside bottom of this pan smooth, or will it scratch a surface if you slide it across it?

The outside bottom of the pan is smooth and has not scratched my glass cook-top stove. It is a pleasure to cook with this pan, and it is easy to clean due to the non-stick cooking surface. As with all the many OXO products that I own, this pan is well made and extremely functional.

Is there a lid for the pan?

Yes it is sold separately. Glass so you watch food cook.

Great pan- my first choice to saute anything!

This pan cooks evenly and is a snap to clean up.

Five Stars

Trivially easy to clean, good cooking results.

Great Pan

The pan is just the right size for most of my cooking which involves small quantities. I bought it based on testing and the resulting high recommendation in the magazine 'Cook's Country'. It cooks evenly and is easy to clean.

Leo
How well do these pans brown meats etc?

No problem browning meats in this pan. They are not, however, suitable for blackening recipes which require super heating the empty pan before cooking.

is it dishwasher safe?

Yes, it is, but I always quickly wash it by hand. It is so easy to clean, and it cooks well. Great purchase!

Cooks Delight

This is a really good pan. Nothing sticks to it and it is so easy to care for. Clean up is a snap. Soap and water does the work on the clean-up. Great pan..follow the instructions and it will last a long time.

Perfect for Indian cooking

This is exactly what I wanted to make indian pancakes. Its perfect, I loved the size the weight and the coating material of this pan.

Cooks evenly

Cooks evenly, good value, cleans up nicely and nice design.

Has anybody cooked roti/chapati/dosa on this pan ?

we cook dosas all the time...quick easy delicious any meal.

is it a induction cookware? Is the handle getting too hot while cooking?

it is a good cookware, the handle will not get hot while cooking.

Happy cooking!

Just the right size for braising, casseroles, etc. I like the double handles, too.

Cooks Great! Cooks Good!

Excellent! Works Great! No more sticking! Wonderful!

Cooks to perfection.

…These are by far my fave skillets, so durable and food cooks perfectly. Such a great price, I love the glass lid, enables me to check the food as it cooks. this size works well on a large stove, with smaller stoves you would have to take over a second burner for space and maneuverability .

Does this pot work well with a gas cook-top?

I have a gas stove and it works great- I have not had any discoloration on the pan, and it cooks evenly!

How is this for cooking tortillas?

Great

My favorite piece to cook with!

Love the frying pan, truly a non-stick! super easy to clean!

Cook It

I listened to America's Test Kitchen and they are correct! Best sauté pan ever.

good cooking

I have a complete set of T-fal and have been completely satisfied with its performance

Can you use cooking spray in the pan? Does cooking spray damage the pan?

I have heard and read that cooking spray does mess the pans up, but I have not used cooking spray on my TFal pan. A good substitute for you could be to get a liquid oil that u prefer and put in a pump spray bottle n u can use that to lightly coat the pan. Hope this helps...

Does this pan work with induction cooking ?

I would think so, it works very well for me, I have an electric stove, induction is the ceramic cook top correct ?

Truly non stick cooking

Really good, non stick pan. Can tell already that it will last much longer than the last brand we had.

Best nonstick for induction cooking

Love this fry pan for use with my induction cooktop! I bought one several years ago and have used it constantly. It finally started to loose some of its nonstick properties so I just ordered another. They are the best!

Cooking Good

I have used this product for over a year.. It will not disappoint you at all. Can't name all the different foods I made in this pan. Easy to clean after use. Nonstick works great.…

can I use cooking spray without a problem

I think so. This is the best cook pan I have ever owned and I have been married for 43 years so that is saying something

Can you cook pancakes in this pan

I have made pancakes, french toast, frittata and a great deal more. I should have bought 2. So far absolutely nothing is off limits.

Wok this way - cook this way!!

Great wok - never realized ho versatile having a wok can be. Great for stir frying rice, and veggies. Non stick coating is great use very little oil and super easy to clean! It is huge so takes up a lot of room on counter/stove- might have to buy a smaller version next time!

then I cooked with it for 3 and it was perfect!

I thought it was too big at first, then I cooked with it for 3 and it was perfect!

Cooking on point

I love the depth and weightlessness of the pan. I got an amazing deal on it so i also cannot complain. I hope it lasts

How good is it for the old school electric COIL stove? Will it take a long time to cook unlike using the same wok on gas stove?

It works on coil stove.. Takes normal time cooking, cleans very easly ..it is a great deal, I LOVE it for my oriantal food..just what I wanted..just make sure you do not get too hot as it is not a heavy pan!

Can I use it in oven? I have a doubt because it has handle.

I wouldn't, it is designed for stove top. It is big too, which I love about it. I cook everything in it. One of my fav purchases this year.

Great to cook with

Love it

but it is very good for cooking

It looks bigger than the picture, but it is very good for cooking.The food never sticks on it.I love it

cooking is not work, it's wok

high quality, low price and on time! easy to clean, use, store and maintain. what a pleasure. loved it bigtime.

older wok designs need a "break in" proceedure, this one does or doesn't?

Well I am not a chef, just a regular cook..but I don't think it needs any breaking in to use. It works fine and cleans up easy to..so I am happy with the purchase.

What is the diameter of the base (inches)? I have electric coil stovetop. And what volume does it hold (Quarts)?

This is a guess because I'm not at home, but I'd say the base that sits on the burner is approximately 7" across and I would say you could put about one quart of liquid in it comfortably. Keep in mind that because it has a very open wok-type of profile and is non-stick means that anything liquid will be easy to slosh out. The fact that it has the extra handle on the opposite side does help with that. Since writing my original review, this still remains one of my favorite things to cook with.

Dutch ovens are known for their ability to distribute heat evenly while also locking in moisture, which makes them ideal for cooking foods such as chili, soup, and stew on the stove top. And because they are made of cast iron, they are durable and may also be used in the oven. Some models have an enamel finish that's easy to clean and also provides smooth cooking surfaces. Others feature a long wire handle and sturdy legs, so they may be hung over a campfire or even placed directly in charcoal for cooking. Take a look at some of our favorites. We know one will also be the best dutch oven for you!
A good Dutch oven is one of the best investments you can make in the kitchen. Its ability to braise, sear, and bake everything from perfectly-shaped loaves of sourdough bread to hearty soups and stews, makes it an ideal one-pot solution for smaller kitchens. That said, a Dutch oven’s versatility and ability to evenly distribute and retain heat (on the stove or in the oven) is an essential factor for home cooks.
From casserole to soup, there is a long list of dishes that can be cooked in a Dutch oven, which has been a staple in the kitchen for many centuries. Dutch ovens come in various sizes and styles, which can be overwhelming with the options available. Continue reading to learn about a few of our favorites.
