All Clad 12 Fry Pan

All Clad 12 Fry Pan
Can anyone recommend a high quality, reasonably priced 12″ frying pan/skillet?

All Clad is generally considered the best, but their 12″ pans are about 130 bucks!
What I meant was a stainless steel, NOT non-stick pan.

You want a pan that replicates All Clad’s construction without its label and pricetag. In other words, you want an aluminum core sandwiched between 2 layers of stainless steel, and the aluminum core should GO UP THE SIDES OF THE PAN, NOT JUST BE A DISK IN THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN. Sometimes the design is the same, even though they have hidden the obvious edge of the disk line (e.g. Emeril cookware). And don’t be impressed by things claiming to be 5-ply. It’s really onlly 3 ply, but that’s all you need–a ply (or layer) of stainless steel on the inside and outside and a layer of aluminum in the middle. Try to buy something where they have a picture of the cross section of the pan on the box somewhere. If they don’t, they are trying to conceal something from you.

The word “clad” should be in the name of the type of pan, because that’s the name of the technology they use to fuse layers of sheet metal together and then pound the whole thing into the shape of the pan. You should NOT be able to see a line where a disk was fused onto the bottom.

In practice, it is a little hard to find a clad pan for a bargain price. Farberware used to make a line called Stainless Steel Clad that was designed in just this way, and that’s the 12″ pan I got, on clearance for $25! with lid included! You might not find a bargain like this, but the best places to look are cookware outlet stores, Target, eBay, Smartbargains.com and garage sales. There used to be a line called Multi-Clad from Cuisinart I think. Bargains abound on the internet–don’t buy from the Cuisinart or All Clad site.

P.S. another design consideration might be whether the pan can go into the oven–so you might want all metal handles for example.
