All-Clad E7852464 HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Dishwasher Safe PFOA Free Sauce Pan Cookware, 3.5-Quart, Black

The non stick pan is great, no complaints about that. But the U channel style handle is terrible. It is very uncomfortable and awkward to pick up when the pot is heavier with something in it.

This was a Christmas present and my wife loves it.

Weight and surface of the pot very nice. The handle is poorly designed. Very uncomfortable to hold. Can’t get a good grip on it. I returned it because I didn’t feel safe in using the pot while carrying it with hot contents.

I'm a big fan of All-Clad because their products are made of high quality, durable material. The handles are designed so that they don't become hot. I love the glass lid so you can tell if the food is simmering or boiling. I have a regular glass cooktop so I can't comment on the induction qualities. I don't use high heat with non-stick pots and pans - I don't want chemicals leaching into my food. It's a great pot and I highly recommend!

Impossible to lift pan with one hand without the pan rotating - it becomes unbalanced. Yes, there is a short assist handle on the side of the pan opposite the long handle but using that to steady the pan leaves no hand free to deal with the lid. The lid could easily dislodge releasing steam. Turning the cooked contents into a bowl or strainer is awkward. What I do like is the shape of the pan itself, the quick release finish for ease of cleaning and the capacity(3.5 qts.) which is an excellent mid size between the 1 and 2 qt.s and a soup kettle. Some engineering on the length if the handle vs. twisting balance would be helpful.
