The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is 18/10 highly polished stainless steel, so it's stick-resistant as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops, and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. This classic, straight-sided 6-quart sauté pan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless line is so popular. It's an imposing 13-1/2 inches in diameter (and 2-3/4 inches deep), large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home where big meals are prepared. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. Like the pan's helper handle, the long handle (holed for hanging on a hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

 Great, HUGE pan April 24, 2010

This was my first all-clad purchase. I was replacing a very large non-stick skillet from Le Creuset. This is a much better pan.
The good:
1. It's huge. I can cook 6 boneless chicken breast pieces at once.
2. It cleans easily. Even burnt on stuff comes off easily with a little Barkeeper's Friend.
3. It holds up well. I've had mine for about 1.5 years now, and it still looks basically new.
4. It can go into the oven
5. It comes with a lid, as saute pans generally do. But I didn't have a lid for my previous pan, so I appreciate it.
6. Did I mention it's huge? It's huge. Whatever you're trying to cook...it will fit.
7. For such a huge pan, it does a very good job of distributing heat and cooking evenly. I can't compare to the other all-clad lines, but this heats very well. My Le Creuset (cast iron interior) heated evenly too, but you had to preheat for a long time. This heats pretty evenly in just a couple of minutes. It's not flawless, but I can heat the whole huge pan with one big burner.
8. The "all-clad" construction heats up the sides as well as well the bottom, which wasn't true of some of the other stainless pans I looked at.
9. Mine has not warped
10. It handles misuse. I got distracted and ended up burning a bunch of olive oil in the pan: smoke alarms and the whole bit. While it did take some extra time to clean the pan, it did clean. And it cooks just like it always did. A similar mistake is what led to the demise of my Le Creuset pan.
The not so good:
1. It's heavy. Unless you're a body builder, this isn't a one-hand pot. (But that's just the nature of a pan this size)
2. It's large. I don't have a particularly fancy stove, just a regular gas stove. When I'm using this pan, I can comfortably get only one other pan on the stove, in the kitty-korner position. In a pinch I can get two additional pans on the stove. But it's impossible to use four burners while using this pan.
Great product February 6, 2009

Previously I had a Calphalon saute pan in this size and used it for a number of years although it warped shortly after I purchased it. The All-Clad pan is noticeably heavier than the Calphalon product and I've had no problem with warping yet. I'm careful not to run cold water into a hot pan as that can cause it to warp and to cook at a reasonable temperature. Also the lighter color of the stainless steel (as opposed to the dark anodized Calphalon product) makes it easier to insure that it's been properly deglazed, capturing all the nice browned bits into the completed dish. I recently replaced my Calphalon skillet with an All-Clad one for similar reasons. I'm sold on the All-Clad product.
 All-Clad Stainless 6-Quart Saute Pan February 5, 2009

Unfortunately I was highly disappointed in this product since I have other All-Clad pieces. It had a design flaw. The middle of the pan was much higher than the edges, so when you put oil in it to cook something, all the oil would run to the edges of the pan. I ordered three of these thinking it was just a fluke, but all of them had the same problem in varying degrees.
A Great Sauté Pan for Those Large Portions November 19, 2006

I got my 6 quart All Clad Stainless sauté pan about a month ago and I've been using it frequently. I cook large batches of meatballs with it and I'm impressed with how the meat does not stick, how well the meat browns, and how well the pan reaches temperature and returns to temperature, even as I place all the meatballs at once instead of in batches like with my old Calphalon 5 quart sauté pan.
My only suggestion to All Clad to improve this pan is to replace the long handle (the handle they use with the stainless line) with the longer handle they use with their Copper Core line (when the pan is 6 quarts). I notice that it is easier to handle my heavier Copper Core pieces than my stainless and LTD pieces when the pan is full. And the longer handle should also make it easier to remove the pan from the cache rack when the lid is stored through the handle. All Clad should also think about putting the longer handle on the larger pieces.
This pan is a keeper.
UPDATE January 4, 2008: I just converted from an electric range to a (natural) gas range (mine is a Wolf). When I used this sauté pan on my old electric range, I needed to rotate the pan while cooking since I placed it over two coil elements to try to keep the pan sufficiently heated. Now that I have a natural gas range, the French skillet's entire bottom heats evenly over a single gas burner. I no longer have to rotate the sauté pan.
One last note. If you have a gas range (mine is a Wolf) I really noticed just how quickly the Copper Core pans heats up when compared with the stainless and LTD lines. When I was using an electric range, I appreciated how quickly the Copper Cores heat up. My suggestion is to hold each pan and determine whether you can comfortably handle the weight of each pan and whether the pan's handles are comfortable to you. I like the longer length handles on the All Clad Copper Core pans. All Clad uses a different length and style handle for their LTD and stainless series than the Copper Core series. That standard length handle does not work for the larger sauté (6 Qt), sauce (4 quart), and fry (14") pans: it's just too short. It's all right for their other pans.

All-Clad is a huge thumbs up for me. Made osso buco in this pan and it was a dream. The only thing about this pan is how incredibly HEAVY it is. It would have been 5 stars otherwise.
