As with all All Clad products, this skillet is solidly built and performs as advertised. The helper handle makes it easier to use with heavy loads, but harder to hang up with my other pans since the space I have isn't as big as this pan is long. The included instructions say not to use salt directly in the pan as the pan will become discoloured or pitted; The first time I used the pan, I salted my fish fillet prior to placing it in the pan and the pan became pitted immediately. I don't mind that much since it was going to happen eventually.

All-Clad is a brand of cookware I am familiar with and this is a recent gift I feel so fortunate to have been given.First, I love the overall high quality construction. When I'm cooking with this I know I'm definitely cooking with one of the very best skillets there is.
Two, I am not too thrilled with Teflon coatings and this provides a stainless steel inside which helps keep food from sticking, without Teflon or similar coatings.
Three, though it may not be very important to some, I love the look of the skillet. It just gleams. I love the bolts holding the handles in place.
Three, the handles don't get hot. This to me is very important, because when hustling in the kitchen, I have accidentally opened pans without a mitt and gotten my fingers burned.
Four, the heat is evenly maintained and will not burn in certain spots.
I am just thrilled with my skillet.
Everyone has their preferences and I prefer this skillet to my others and the lid fits perfectly and both pieces are very easy to clean and keep the high shine.
I love it and recommend it.

Most of my cookware is nonstick, but I needed a large skillet with a lid that could handle high heat in the oven. I decided to use it to make my spaghetti sauce today. I fried the Italian sausage, then the meatballs, ground beef, and then I sauteed the onions and peppers and finished with the tomatoes and let it all simmer. I was shocked when after all of this the pan was spotless using only my dish sponge and liquid soap. Cleanup was as easy as my nonstick. I don't expect it to always be so, but this was amazing. This was my firt tri ply, and the even heating was dramatic. I had intended for this to be the last piece of cookware I would ever need, now I plan to replace a few of my nonstick pieces with All Clad.Honest reviews on Buy Download All Clad Stainless Steel 13-Inch French Skillet
I bought this pan to replace my all-clad 12" frying pan because I own several smaller all-clad pans but when I really need a bigger one I need one with more surface area than the 12" gave.This does the job nicely at at a reasonable price for including a lid.
I don't understand the two main complaints I've seen here for this product.
1) thickness: I measured with a caliper. it's almost exactly 3mm, same as the other all-clad pans I own (10" fry, 12" fry, 9" french skillet). I think some folks might tend to think it's thinner because as a pan gets bigger, the same gauge thickness may just seem thinner because you're used to seeing it in smaller pans. This is a very big pan.
2) handle ergonomics: This is the same handle All-Clad uses on all its pans (except due to the fact that this is a french skillet it's at a slightly higher angle than a std frying pan. It's rounded on the bottom, concave at the top. This is ideal for a heavy pan because to get leverage your palm will be underneath it and your fingers can curl over the top to get a tight grip. I'm not sure how much better designed the handle could be for this pan. Everyone else must be trying to lift this thing like they would a light pan and complaining because it's not comfortable. Of course it wouldn't be. You'd have dropped it if it was comfortable to lift like that.
Anyway, solid purchase. Now I can saute 3 or 4 chicken breasts or pieces of fish once, which was my goal.
