All-Clad 4406 Stainless Steel 3-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe Saute Pan with Lid Cookware, 6-Quart, Silver

This is an amazing and versatile pan for cooking almost anything. You can make it nearly nonstick by heating properly and the even heating of the tri ply construction is incredible. The high sides make it easy to cook saucy items or just bigger quantities, though that can cause overcrowding. Overall, a great pan and I would absolutely recommend it.

Another addition to my 30+ year D3 collection

As a retired couple, I LOVE this saute pan for making one-dish meals (such as goulash!) that last for 2 meals, as well as cooking up two meals' worth of chicken for us. I have quite a few pieces of D3 and have used All-Clad for about 40 years, and assure everyone that using lower heat is the secret to cooking everything, except boiling water for pasta. The older I get the more I appreciate that this product does not leach into our food! My All-Clad will be handed down one day!

Happy Cooking in SoCal.

I trust All Clad cookware and have used your products for years. I recently boght D3, 3-qt. saute pan and have used it twice. I love the even temperature as it cooks meats and sauces evenly. The reason for the 4 star review is the clean up. After cleaning the pan, I see a residue film that should have come off with a regular scrubbing pad. I don't want to risk using a stainless steel pad that may scratch or harm the pan, but a regular scouring pad does not clean it as well. Any advice?

Love This Pan

Finally treated myself to an All Clad pan! Beautiful pan. Quality compared to other products is evident. Large enough to brown 4 large pork chops at once. Love it. Worth every penny!

Love this pan

I e had this pan for 20 years and while I don’t use it often (it’s huge!) when I do, it’s indispensable. It’s great for searing large roasts! The only downside is even though it’s far sturdier than anything else in this size, it does warp over time. It’s still ok on a gas cooktop but it’s insufferably too warped for use on a smooth cooktop. Also for some reason the handles on the new D3 have less rounded edges that dig into your hand more than the original 3-ply pans. I’m glad mine is from the 90’s but too bad the handles aren’t more ergonomic.

Perfect size, but shape not what I was expecting

I'm still using the same 10-piece All-Clad set that I purchased at Bloomingdale's in 1996, and I love it, it still looks new. Although I already own a 5-quart saute pan made by another brand, when I saw the made-in-the-USA All-Clad 6-quart pan on sale, I purchased it. The pan is smooth and beautiful and has a good weight. The lid fits snugly. I've made one-pot meals and stir fries, seared two 15-ounce rib eyes with plenty of room to promote browning and prevent steaming, and moved the pan from stovetop to oven to melt or brown cheese. Unfortunately, hand washing this pan can be a bit messy. It's advertised as having straight sides, and that's true until the top edge, which has a curve. When rinsing the bottom of the pan, water catches in the flared lip and can spray ... MoreI'm still using the same 10-piece All-Clad set that I purchased at Bloomingdale's in 1996, and I love it, it still looks new.

When rinsing the bottom of the pan, water catches in the flared lip and can spray outside the sink area (splash guard, counter, my shirt). Perhaps the curve was designed to allow items to slide out of the pan easily, like eggs or pancakes, but I'd prefer a straight edge.

The BEST pieces to have -Buy this set!

I've been cooking with this cookware for well over 15 years and I can tell you it's effortless. No hot spots, easy to clean, nothing sticks EVER! This 10-pc. set covers all the bases. You could stop right here. But for me I find 3 additional All-Clad items have proven to be useful additions over the years, they are: #1 The Roaster with Rack (turkey, roasts, casseroles, lasagna), I use this regularly. #2 The Pasta Pentola though I now use it infrequently because I've found the 3-qt covered casserole (included in this set!) is just the right size for soup, sauce, and pasta when cooking for 2-4 ppl. The Oval Bakers (set of 2) are essentials; I use them constantly for individual entree portions, sides, and baked desserts. They're excellent for reheating leftovers as ... MoreI've been cooking with this cookware for well over 15 years and I can tell you it's effortless. No hot spots, easy to clean, nothing sticks EVER!

It's ALL-CLAD all the way... BEST INVESTMENT EVER!2 TIPS: #1 I highly recommend that you "season" your All-Clad pans before first use, to make them 100% nonstick but without that yucky, peeling surface. (Find simple instructions on YouTube). #2 Never use steel wool pads. Instead clean your All-Clad pieces ONLY with Barkeeper's Friend and they will gleam like new for decades. Seriously.

Worth every penny!

My daughter will inherit this pan to cook for my grandkids! I have never bought expensive cookware before, but after researching for nearly a year, I finally pulled the trigger, and I am so happy I did! The secret to cooking with stainless steel is to preheat the pan BEFORE you add oil or the food. Browns beautifully, and nothing stuck to the pan. The large surface is amazing. The best frying/sauté pan I’ve ever had.

Worth it but can get stained or grubby without thorough cleaning

I have always coveted this pan and finally was fed up with my old pan enough to make the purchase. Overall really great quality pan. I would suggest this as someone’s first or only AllClad purchase. I do wish the cooking surface wasn’t so easy to get dingy. I also wish the lid handle was heat proof like the rest of the pan. Generally lives up to the name!

d3 4 qt stainless saute pan

4 qt saute pan was an excellent addition to my all-clad collection. It has approx 10 inches of contact area with gas burner. Plenty of room to build a sauce that starts with sautéing a large amount of vegetables.
