“all clad kinda sucks. I used to use it. (both non stick and d5, and d3, the surface is not as good as other companies higher end, ie professional lines. ie food sticks when it shouldn't.)”
“For me they are heavy to lift and stacking isn’t great like some brands. My small frying pan that I is use a lot the coating is coming off so I need to replace.”
“The two lines are practically identical. In theory, D5 has slightly better heat retention. D3 is slightly more responsive. In reality, they perform too similar to really notice a difference.”
“I've been using All-Clad D3 for 25 years and would highly recommend it. Excellent heat transfer balance and super durable. Worth every penny I paid for them.”
“I honestly hate the All-Clad handles. My hand cramps FAST if the pan is heavy with food or if I'm grabbing in a way just to wash the pan itself.”
“The handles on the old school D3 are a little uncomfortable when held directly but secure with oven mitt or chef’s towel.”
“Get the D3 10 Piece set with flared rim sauce pans. I picked one up a couple weeks ago. I've used every pot/pan except the stock pot. Absolutely love it.”
“All-Clad is a piece of high price junk. Food starts sticking in matter of few cooking rounds. It starts to discolor pretty quickly.”
“we’ve since purchased a ninja induction ready non stick fry pan $60 and use it waaaay more than the stainless fry pans”
“So far very happy with the quality and how they cook. The responsiveness of the D3 is nice when making temperature changes as the pan reacts right away.”
“D3 is polished shiny stainless steel (prone to fingerprints, scratches, etc) and D5 is a brushed exterior”
“I bought Tramontina instead, the AC is too heavy for me and I don’t plan to buy another stainless set in my lifetime.”
“the rims on the 2 qt saucepan and 3qt pan are now so sharp, I hate to wash them. The 3qt one has cut my thumb.”
“I have a few All Clad pieces for a few years and they still look the same as the day I bought them, and I use them rough. I think they will be BIFL.”
“It is noticeably heavier than D3, and I can't say that the level of performance is all that different.”
“The lipped edge on the All Clad is easier to pour from than the straight sides on the Tramontina set.”
“I have had the 9” and 7” D3 frypans for about 2 years now. They work fantastic on my induction range. Absolutely no complaints.”
“I HATE the handles on all-clad pans. I have a 12 skillet that I never use because the handle sucks so much.”
“The D3 is good, but it's 1970s technology and it's honestly overpriced at MSRP.”
“D3 has a heat dispersion and regulation just as good as the D5. D3 heats up quicker by far, and it weighs significantly less.”
“All-Clad doesn't cap the clad so the middle layer gets eroded in the dishwasher and edges get knife sharp.”
“d3 isnt fully clad so its not actually dishwasher safe over the long run”
“When I roast Brussels sprouts I put them in my preheated all clad pan at 500 for like 12 minutes and they come out perfectly”
“If you put them in the dishwasher the edges become extremely sharp because they are not sealed.”
