It sticks only because you lack the knowledge and experience in how to cook with a stainless steel pan.

Anyone else notice that the photos of the pan at Amazon are different from those at Home Depot, even though the model numbers are identical? The photos at Amazon show the pan having a more sloped sidewall and horizontally-angled handle, while the photos at Home Depot show the pan having a steeper and more rounded/cupped sidewall with a more upward-angled handle.

Can anyone who bought the pan at either store confirm which photos are correct?

Is it? I can't read either

Stainless steel is always dishwasher safe

Or cook using the Leidenfrost effect and you'll be fine. I have never seasoned mine and food only sticks if I want it to (for sauces after).

I received this from Home Depot and it looks like the pictures from Amazon so the pictures on Home Depot are wrong/misleading.

This will have the gentler sloped sides as seen on the Amazon pictures.

I mentioned this in my original post, but I guess the mods removed the info when they posted it to the front page.

Also some more info that was removed: because of the gentle sloped sides the flat cooking surface area is a little small for 12" pan.

Inner Diameter measures: 8.5 in. or 21 cm.

For anyone interested, you may also want to consider Kirkland 5-ply cookware from Costco. It's $200 for 6 pans/pots, $33 for each.

Tramontina 14 piece 3-ply or Kirkland 10 piece 5-ply? Opinions?

I thought these Kirklands were prone to warping? Sam's Club has Tramontina and Viking sets as well for similar prices.

Good deal for an economy light duty large SS fry pan. As an induction user I don't bother with anything less than a Demeyere or the nla Allclad D7 due to warping. As for buying cookware sets every chef will advise buying only what is needed to prepare your favorite dishes and buying the appropriate tecnology for that pan or pot. Sets always include pieces that don't get used or do not perform well for the intended task.

Is this different than the tramontina gourmet series? Here's a link to one: https://www.target.com/p/tramonti...A-16901048

Looking at the reviews, false advertised as made in brazil, customers get them and have the tag made in china.

America's test kitchen has videos where they compare 5 ply to 3 ply. Their conclusion: more plys doesn't make the pan better, may even perform worse (longer to heat up) and generally no benefit for additional price. This was for All-clad. Perhaps for cheaper brands it might be useful *if* it prevents warping and isn't more expensive.

yes of course- it's stainless steel. Good pan and excellent value even at msrp. All Clad is so incredibly overpriced considering how barely better their SS line is than Tramontina's.

If you pay retail price on all clad — maybe.

I've pieced together an entire D5 set through their "seconds" website and the D5 stuff is pretty awesome if you learn how to use it.

First of all - people can of course do whatever they want, in their own way, when it comes to cooking.

However, general advice- If this is what you want to do with a pan, I'd recommend just getting carbon steel. It's cheaper and made for this. Seasoning won't stick well to stainless steel because it's so smooth and will come off super easily, and …

Seasoning a stainless steel pan in many ways defeats the purpose of using a stainless steel pan in the first place. You WANT things to stick in a stainless steel pan (slightly, over the cooking time) and then release (mostly). This grab and release is what helps with proper browning and develops fond. You should also be able to scrub the heck out of it when needed and not worry about the longevity of the surface.

If you don't want browning (or some sticking) use a nonstick or similar pan.

Last spring Amazon had one All-Clad D7 12" in stock. Shocked when it actually arrived. It's still in the box. What can you not cook with Staub L-C a roasting pan and an Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus? Luv the hd inner pot with handles on the D-E-P which also works on induction. Finaly threw out the microwave last year.
