The All-Clad 6 Qt Stainless Saute Pan with Lid (Model 5406) is a great addition to any kitchen and is sure to be a favorite utility pan. The large size if perfect for cooking a family size portion. As always, All-Clad stainless steel quality and construction goes into this saute pan. Size: 6.0 QT 12-7/8 x 2-3/4"The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is 18/10 highly polished stainless steel, so it's stick-resistant as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops, and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.
This classic, straight-sided 6-quart sauté pan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless line is so popular. It's an imposing 13-1/2 inches in diameter (and 2-3/4 inches deep), large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home where big meals are prepared. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. Like the pan's helper handle, the long handle (holed for hanging on a hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

"Jack of All Trades" Pan
I love All Clad cookware & was in the market to add to my collection. Initially, I wanted to buy the 14" fry pan, a wonderful item. The store owner asked me how I would use the 14" fry pan & I told her I wanted to fry & saute in it. I also mentioned I'd try to use it to braise as well. Given the fact I needed a large pan to serve mulitple purposes, the owner recommended I consider purchasing this 6 qt. saute pan instead. The pan has a diameter as wide as the 14" fry pan, & can be used for frying, sauteing & braising. Additionally, the cover is included in the price of this 6 qt. saute pan, unlike the 14" fry pan, which doesn't come w/a cover. I'm aware of the differences between a fry vs saute vs braising pan, but not being a purist & also wanting to conserve on storage space & cost, I bought this 6 qt saute pan. The store owner was correct, I use this pan all the time & it works perfectly as a fry, saute or braise pan. Given it's an All Clad, it has 1st class performance for...

Huge Pan requires gigantic stove and strong arms
Although I am not a small man, when I came face to face with the 6-quart saute pan on a friend's huge Wolf stove, I felt small. Very small. And weak. While I can easily saute in my own medium-weight 10 inch saute pan, the All-Clad 6-Quart pan requires two hands just to move; it took a deep breath and concentration to actually saute (which means "to jump" in French, and refers to the way you shake the ingredients to cook them evenly). The 6-quart saute pan is so wide that even on the Wolf, it crowded surrounding burners. So don't plan on getting four of these and cooking for an army on a civilian stove; you'll be lucky if it doesn't obstruct all your burners if it's centered on one.
On the plus side, the beauty of a 6-quart 13.5" pan is that you get about 65% more surface area than with a 4 quart 10.5" pan because it's the square of the radius that determines the area and 13.5*13.5=182, whereas 10.5*10.5=110. The quantity that can be cooked at once is limited by surface area if...
Party Time
How do you pan fry 6 thick Rib Eye Steaks at the same time so as not to miss a minute of the Academy Awards? You do them in this 6 quart saute pan. That way your time away from your guests and the TV are kept to a minimum.
Fire the burner up to super high, pour in a bit of Peanut oil and wait till the smoke begins, throw in the steaks, put on the lid, brown for approx 3 minutes on each side and finish off in a hot oven for 15 minutes. De-glaze the pan with some good Pinot Noir, add butter, salt and pepper for a quick sauce.
It's a snap to pan fry in this manner in these pans because of the superior heat distribution: no hot or cold spots...even heat throughout.
Another great thing about the All-Clad Stainless line is that clean up is very easy: accomplished with some hot water, soap and a sponge.
