All-Clad Ha1 12" Chef's Pan
Best nonstick pan for home cooks needing versatile, high-heat performance.
This is the ultimate workhorse for home cooks who want the performance of hard-anodized aluminum without the maintenance of raw metal. The nonstick surface makes cleanup effortless and searing simple, though you do sacrifice the ability to develop the deep, fond-heavy pan sauces that only a traditional stainless steel skillet can provide.
