User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Heads-up — sides are not rounded
Heads-up — this style of pan doesn’t have a rounded transition from the bottom to the sides. Instead, there is a corner at the junction of the bottom and sides. Additionally, the sides are a bit steep. I now gather that this is the profile of a “French skillet”, but I’m baffled why anyone would want a small fry pan that doesn’t have rounded sides, as the corner and steep sides prevent the easy and rapid tossing of the contents, so I offer this review to warn others who also might not know of this distinction. If you want to be able to easily flick-toss the contents of your pan, to turn and stir them, then look at the All-Clad fry pans, not French skillets.
One more comment on both the skillets and the fry pans. The bottoms are a bit thinner than one might expect. I have only gas, but I can imagine that they might heat unevenly on electric. I enjoy my All-Clad stainless pots and pans, but if you want a luxurious heft, and very even heating, you may want to consider spending more on this item. My vague memory from a decade ago is that the Master Chef and LTD lines of All-Clad were thicker, and I wonder if the aluminum shells of those models may conduct better.
5 Stars All-Clad Stainless 11-inch French Skillet
My wife is very pleased with this skillet. She has several All-Clad pieces, but the higher sides on the French Skillet reduce the splatter that the more conventional frying pans produce. Since she received it for Christmas, she has used it virtually every time she has cooked a meal.
1 Star Uneven bottom
I ordered both a 9 and 11 inch nonstick skillet. They both suffered uneven bottoms. Middle was 1/8 inch higher than bottom edges. I did not even use the pans. None of my older all clad pans had any such problems. I called all clad and they would accept them back, but I would have to pay shipping. So, I returned both of them to Amazon as defective. I hope you do not get either of my returns!

5 Stars Great Pan
Was hesitant to purchase this pan due to reading some of the less favorite reviews. However, I sure am glad that I bought it. It lives up to the All Clad standard of quality. Great pan!
