 Beautiful! ...and does its job! August 6, 2008
Kita (Greensboro, NC United States)
I've had this pan for about a year now, and love it. It's sleek and beautiful and does it's job very well. I can saute some garlic, then steam spinach or green beans. The size may be a drawback for some, yet for so many uses it's been perfect for me. My favorite, made several times for a family of four, is shepherd's pie. It does its job on the stovetop, then in the oven, and on the table makes a grand presentation.
Beyond its ease of use and good looks, I especially appreciate the ease of care. I may need to soak it a bit, but very little elbow grease brings it back to looking like new. If your looking for a great quality medium-sized pan, this is it.
 Not my Favorite Pan June 27, 2008

This pan is better for serving in than for cooking. It tends to burn things easily. I have other stainless steel pans that I have no problem with. It could be that the lid lets too much steam escape, or maybe it's just too shallow.
I love this pan! October 25, 2007

I love this pan. It is versatile and pretty enough to go directly from the stove top or oven to the table. The lid from this pan also fits the 10" skillet.
 Nice pan but not the same quality as All Clad or other clad cookware April 23, 2007

The Kitchenaid everyday pan is not nearly as thick nor of the same quality as an All Clad pan. This pan is noticeable thinner than All clad. The pan overheats relatively easily so low heat is key, however, it doesn't keep the temperature high once you stir in the food. This is probably due to the fact the aluminum core is so thin. This can be a problem if you are trying to sear food. The pan doesn't sear nearly as nice as a pan with a thick aluminum disk bottom. It's advertised as 5-ply clad but it's definitely thinner compared to other clad cookware on the market, especially All Clad.
For the best bargain and quality, I recommend Gourmet Standard. It's almost as thick as All Clad for much less and the stainless steel lids are almost twice as thick as the Kitchenaid lid, therefore more dent resistant. Plus, Gourmet Standard also made for an induction stove.
This pan is on the smaller end and will be good for cooking one to two people and at a great price.
Could use a 12" diameter March 25, 2007

Very good quality, but still a bit too small to be called an "everything" pan. Useful for the morning sunny side up but not for regular dinner servings.
