KitchenAid - 10 Clad Skillet  Product Reviews

"I think I screwed up with buying this fry pan. I bought it as a replacement for the non-stick aluminum omelette pan I have been using to fry hash brown potatoes. The manufacturer of my ceramic-glass range top advised against using aluminum utensils on the unit so I shopped for one made of stainless steel. Unfortunately this uncoated pan is a disaster when using it with the hash brown potatoes. They stick no matter what I do to fix that problem. The sticking situation is not a condemnation of the KitchenAid pan, but a limitation to the versatility of any stainless steel cooking utensil when frying high starch food. I should have known better. The pan itself is one of the best I have ever seen and it is cheaper than the All-Clad equivalent. It is extremely well made, it is a beautiful pan and I would recommend it for frying anything except potatoes and heavily floured meats. I had to go out and buy a stainless steel fry pan with a non-stick cooking surface. Guess what--I bought a KitchenAid. "
