Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Stainless 13-Inch French Skillet
Customer Review: All Clad 13" French Skillet Pan: If you get it, it works best when using gas ranges
Summary: 4 Stars
My All Clad LTD 13" French skillet pan will now get more use now that I converted from an electric range to a (natural) gas range. I tried using the 13" French skillet on my 8" electric element and was disappointed with the uneven heating: the outer portion of the bottom did not get hot enough to cook the food (in my case, omelets). That was not a problem with my All Clad 12" fry pans (Copper Core and LTD). Now that I have a natural gas range, the French skillet's entire bottom heats evenly and my omelets turn out great. The handle length works for this largest of All Clad's French skillets. I decided to buy this pan over the All Clad 14" fry pan while both pan bottoms are the same diameter, the French skillet's pan top has a smaller diameter than the 14" fry pan due to the steeper slope. If I need to cover the French skillet when cooking, I can use the lid from my All Clad 6 quart sauté pan (which fits)! There is no All Clad lid I know that I can cover the 14" fry pan, not even if you buy it separately. And the 13" French skillet feels lighter than the 14" fry pan (LTD or stainless). If All Clad made the French skillet in Copper Core, I may get it depending on the weight. Copper is heavy.
PROS:
Weights less than the All Clad 14" stainless or LTD fry pan but with the same bottom cooking area.
Can be covered if you have the lid for the stainless or LTD 6 quart sauté pans
CONS: Does not heat evenly when used on an electric (coil) range.
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.
Description of All-Clad Stainless 13-Inch French Skillet
With its sculpturesque form and patented bonded construction, the new All Clad 13-inch Stainless French Skillet blurs the line between art and science. A precisely-contoured heel and slightly deeper sidewall facilitate turning and flipping. Bonded layers of 18/10 stainless steel and aluminum provide ideal balance, handling weight, and supremely-even heat diffusion. Perfect for sauteing, frying, and general versatility, the All Clad French Skillet is the true culinary artist's latest inspiration.All-Clad's Stainless collection is the most popular of the renowned company's cookware lines. Exhibiting an impressive heft, each piece is meticulously crafted of three permanently bonded layers: 18/10 stainless steel on the interior, magnetic stainless steel on the exterior, and an encapsulated aluminum core for thorough, even heating. Hand-polished to a mirror shine, the stainless steel offers natural nonstick properties and striking good looks. The magnetic property means that in addition to suiting gas and electric burners, the cookware can be used on induction stovetops, increasingly popular for their energy efficiency. All of All-Clad's bonded cookware is made in the USA and is covered by a lifetime warranty.
Any chef can put a classic French skillet to good use, practically on a daily basis. Available in three sizes, 9, 11, and 13 inches, the Stainless skillet is designed with high sides that facilitate flipping pancakes, tossing stir-fried vegetables, or stirring stews. The solid, cast-stainless-steel handle is riveted on for strength, stays cool on the stovetop, and features a hole for hanging. Because the pan heats up quickly and hold its temperature well, only low to medium heat is recommended for cooking. While the All-Clad Stainless collection is durable enough for dishwasher cleaning, washing by hand is easy and will help preserve the bright finish. --Ann Bieri
