True...and thanks for the link.

If I was doing catering or opening a restaurant I would go with those for sure.

America's Test Kitchen rated the All-Clad the highest and "Highly Recommended it." Here is what they said about it:

quote:

Testers praised this pan for having “everything you need in a skillet and nothing you don’t,” with enough cooking surface for sautéing eight chicken pieces without crowding; steady, controlled heat for excellent browning; and a good shape with low sides. The weight balance was outstanding; it was easy to manipulate and lift. In the durability test, it sustained the least damage, with barely visible dents.

no doubt that this is a great pan but so is the other one. no reason to debate it... just wanted to show there are other options out there

i am sure the all clad pan is going to look better... it will have more of a retail finish on it.. thus the cost. but as far as performance idk....

now i will argue that a le creuset cast iron is better than some other cast iron.... it may cost 3x as much but it will last 20x as long

I was specifically thinking about buying more than one cooking pan. If I had to get 10 pans I would go with the link...not the expensive "show" pan.

The shipping on that pan is $13.04 for me for regular shipping. that combined with the $28.49 totals at $41.53. That combined with the fact that the All-clad is 18/10 stainless instead of 18/8 means it has more nickel in it. The 18/10 has been shown to build better pan sauces. BTW, hope your quick tenderloins came out well.

and the sur all-clad has a lid which is great for sweating but I am just an all-clad fan, they never let me down.

Forgive me for not mentioning a simple book cut and sear with cream cheese stuffed in the openings and bacon wrapping. fricking amazing. 250 bake and broil as the thermo starts getting around 150 in the middle. Pull it at 155 in the middle. You'll thank me later. p.s. brine it first and throw some italian seasoning on it before you wrap it.
