This All-Clad skillet is the perfect size for most tasks. It's also extremely well made, oven safe, and cleans up beautifully.
Let me preface this review by saying that for a couple of years I worked at a cooking school and all of the pots and pans they used were All-Clads. Those All-Clads went through a lot of use and abuse and held up to everything we threw at them. After that experience I invested in a 10 piece set of the D5 All-Clads for my house, supplementing them with a couple of pieces of regular All-Clad. My home experience has been every bit as good as the one in the test kitchen.
This All-Clad skillet is exceptionally well made. The steel used is thick, even, and high quality. The polished exterior is beautiful, while the machined interior is also well done. The long and substantial handle is securely connected to the skillet by two rivets. The matching lid fits nicely to create an excellent seal. Overall, the skillet feels like it will last a lifetime.
In use the All-Clad performs well. I have a Viking gas cook top with heavy cast iron grates. The All-Clad heats up quickly and I don't have any issues with hot or cold spots. The sloped sides make it easy to toss food one handed (if you dare!) and allow liquids to evaporate quickly. The all metal construction means you can pop it into an oven too.
When I bought my 10 piece set it came with an 8 and 10 inch skillet and I found those sizes limiting for most uses. This 12 inch size is just about perfect for most needs. It allows plenty of room to sear a few pieces of meat and make family sized pasta or rice dishes. I find myself reaching for the 12 inch size more than the smaller skillets.
I did not find much of a difference between the D5 All-Clads and the "regular" Tri-Ply series. They both cook and clean up equally good.
I clean my All-Clads in my Bosch dishwasher and they come out perfectly clean about 95% of the time. The only thing I need to "clean" by hand is when I sear meats in the pan. For some reason the pans come out of the dishwasher with a "stain" of some sort where the meat was seared. The rest of the pan is usually spotless. To clean that I just use a bit of Bar Keeper's Friend and it comes right off.
All in all... an excellent skillet.

All-Clad D3 Fry Pan Review (After Several Years)
Prudent Reviews
Reviews with images
The handle is very uncomfortable as people say
Hello,I took all the precautions; prewashed, slowly heated to a medium level, oiled pan[first], and after cooking shrimp/scallops stir fry I needed to use a soft stainless steel cleanser inside the pan to remove slightly stained pan. Washed and rinsed and all is good. My first noncoated pan. I knew it would take extra care.Yes, the handle is very uncomfortable, so I ordered the Silicone Grips 2-Piece. Not here yet so we will see. you ask, if the handle is so bad why not go with a another brand? American made, well made, up to 600f heated(broiler ready), warranty, and on sale. PAN IS WARPED AS PICTURES SHOW FROMM NEW
