If you live near a T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, or HomeGoods you can get All-Clad pans for close to half price. Often, they get further marked down if they haven't sold in a month. The red tag markdown can be almost half the price of the T.J. Maxx price. I've acquired more than a dozen pieces at red tag that cost me about a fourth of the cost of new. Most all of them with lids. The same goes for Le Creuset dutch ovens and skillets as well. FYI: Lodge glass lids fit quite well on the All-Clad "frying" pans.
@@TheCultureofCookery For us living in Vancouver, HomeSense is the spot. Specifically the one in Cambie Village, upstairs with the entrance off West 8th. I've seen All-Clad sauce pans and frying pans there more than a few times. I also purchased my Le Creuset dutch oven from that exact spot, half the price you'd pay at The Bay or Gourmet Warehouse.
Just picked up 8 and 12" All-Clad Copper Cores at a Home Goods for a good price ($260 combined). No 10" in the Cooper Core, but I was eying the D5 10" for $80 (or what this guy paid $200 for). And yes, Lodge glass lids fit well enough and are nicer to use than the All-Clad stainless lids. The main issue with Home Goods is they don't stock everything you want and it can be months between shipments of higher-end stainless cookware.
Went to the all-clad factory sale around christmas time and picked up 10 a 10 piece d5 set for $600. Well worth the money and I'm only just getting started using them.
I picked up a 12-inch D5 on sale for $129+tax. I have really been doing more skillet steak and fish lately. I have a great, heirloom Wagner cast iron skillet, but wanted to try stainless, and it has not disappointed. It's a game changer for fish, and I need to try some chicken in it, but I am just dialed in on oven-baking the yardbird right now. One other place I've started watching for All-Clad --- estate sales.
I'm currently coping with my purchase by trawling around and watching reviews and such, I just purchased this exact pan ($150). I have to be honest, one of the deciding factors for me when picking the D5 was the brushed stainless look, I'm so much more about that vibe over polished. Petty? Maybe, but I want it to look good if I'm paying this much for a pan, dang it! Dig the channel! Surprised that you only have ~3K subs! Let me be another +1 for ya!
I was able do import the 10 piece all clad D3 set from to germany using Amazon. The whole set cost me 850€ and i dont regret it at all. Stainless steel just doesnt get used here allot so its hard to get realy good stainless steel cookware. Since getting it the 10" frying pan is my daylie driver. LOVE IT
Hey bro, shoutout from Vancouver! I'm also living in Van. Not a pro chef, but a home "chef" and looking at buying an All-Clad, so found this video. Very helpful and informative thanks so much.
I have a 10" D3. It's nice. And it came with a lid. However, it's kind of half-way between my small burner and my large burner size ... thankfully it does spread the heat fairly well. I would go with a 12" pan, especially since I have a family to feed. The D5 is mostly nicer, but I'm not sure if the price difference is worth it. At the same time, if you're going to be using it like every day, even the high prices of these things shouldn't stop you from getting the best. (assuming your credit card can handle it)
You should also mention there is an All-Clad D3 line. They have three layers instead of five and cost considerably less. I bought a full set of All-Clad pots and pans back in 2000 and they are all cooking just fine to this day. One other thing, you can pick up a 10" D3 with lid for around $100.
Good point! Yeah, according to America's Test Kitchen, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference in performance between D3 and D5. I just liked the brushed steel haha
Awesome video! Is it normal for these pans to get scratched up a bit? I have some cheaper stainless steel ones that are pretty scratched up - i guess from using metal utensils and a heavy duty scrubber. My understanding is that's normal and harmless but I'm curious if the same happens on a pricier all clad pan.
Yes, it's sad that All Clad does not include a lid for this price. However, if you have a 10-inch lid from another pot or pan, it should work with this pan.
Once you cook with it, you'll understand why it's worth the money. Second, it lasts a life time - so if you add all the money from pans you buy and throw over the yrs, it truly is worth it.
It's a Great Price. Especially if you take into consideration that that pan will last you the rest of your life if taken care of. You can't say that for a 60 to 200 dollar Teflon pan. Treat it like cast iron and that pan will be around forever.
There are plenty of quality Clad Stainless Steel cookware options on the market that are half the price of D5 All Clad line and do exactly the same thing. Paying full retail price is sorta crazy in 2024 when store's like Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Marshalls & Ross exist where savings are 35-65%... $200 for one pan is outrageous especially without a lid...there are 10pc Sets of Clad Stainless Steel Cookware Available for that Amount @ Sam's Club and Costco
Good question! There's some debate over this - you could check out Tom Wade's video on all clad pans if you want more info. I've never seasoned mine, and as long as we heat the pan properly before cooking we haven't had problems with sticking. That said, we have burnt/had food stick before, but we've been able to clean it out using some Barkeeper's Friend and the pan was good as new. Hope that helps!

Thank you! Someone else that thinks like me! 😅 I have to say the lack of a lid is a bit of a downer, but still great all in all!

Does this pan fit 2 chicken breast what size is the cooking surface ?

How your videos have so few views 🙀 This channel will blow up for sure
hahah thanks so much! Appreciate the vote of confidence! 😁

Awesome, thanks so much!
I just ordered D5 over D3 because of that brushed finished!

Please do the comparison
We need an update on the KALORIK MAXX AIR FRYER OVEN - is it worth buying it?
Hey appreciate the comment! It's in the works! The issue is getting all the footage from the different functions.

All clad will scratch as well, they are stainless steel in the end.

Good point! In a way it's nice not to have more lids to store 🤷🏻♂️
of course this drops after I spend the two days before looking at Finex Skillet
Hahaha must be serendipitous 😂😂😅

D5 has been around for decades. Go make your money and get them pans, son.
Once you cook with it, you'll understand why it's worth the money. Second, it lasts a life time - so if you add all the money from pans you buy and throw over the yrs, it truly is worth it.
Couldn’t agree more. Haven’t lived long enough to speak on the lifetime lasting, but thus far, it’s been great!
😂 I got the same frying pan 🍳 today for less than 4 dollars, at a thrift store! 😅
Wow, well done my friend 👏🏽

Couldn’t agree more. The money has been well spent imo. Love this pan. It’s one of the go-to’s in our kitchen 👍🏽

I hear you, I'm always up for finding a good deal 👍🏽
Get a Second Quality D3 12" with a lid. It is only $99.
Yeah it seems that the shiny finish has the lid included?
With this is it true you have to keep them “seasoned” that if you burn something or it sticks you can ruin the pan easily?
