cuisinart multi-clad. It's like 1/4 the price.

>>19323275
made-in makes a good one for much cheaper than all-clad

>>19323275
I've had a set of Tramontina pans for the last 15 years, and I've found there's very little difference in terms of durability and performance between them and All-clad.

I think you can still get a saucepan from them for like $50 or $60.

>>19323275
you can get all-clad saucepans new for 90-110 dollars on ebay if you don't mind scratches. otherwise the other suggestions are good

>>19323275
Just get whatever your local restaurant supply place sells.

Cuisinart? More like queasyfart. Lmfao.

>>19323275
Why don't you look for a copper sauteuse?

>>19323275
just get an all clad

>>19323275
A factory seconds All-Clad.

Seconding this.

Ikea Sensuell. I've had one for about 2 or 3 years and it's still in great condition. I don't treat it properly either.

>much cheaper than all-clad
Last I checked, they were competitively priced (i.e., almost the same).

>>19323275
the demeyere atlantis sauciers are about 130-150€ in europe depending on size and this is one of the few expensive pieces that are actually worth it. not sure how bad the price is in america but no matter what always get the conical shape and not stuff like OP or this>>19323343

>>19325220
if you want to shill sauciers start your own thread retard. OP specifically asked about saucepans similar to the one in his pic.

>>19325280
there's a big chance that he doesn't know that sauciers (rounded bottom) are much more versatile and superior in almost every way

Is there any reason to buy an expensive stainless pan in the first place? As long as it has a layer of aluminum in the base to spread the heat it should be fine.

>>19324921
I only ever buy the shit on sale and I got a 4 qt sauce pan for like 75 bucks

>>19325371
you buy a good one once in your life and don't have to bother ever again. you save a lot of time while cooking because it's much more efficient. you save time cleaning it because the extra coating makes it much easier to keep clean and there are no rivets that will mean at least 2 extra steps of the most annoying kind of cleaning. you don't have to replace it because it's deformed or because it looks beyond nasty due to cheap materials and lack of extra coating. you don't have to worry about food burning or stuff not cooking properly on the sides because it's impossible to fuck it up with thick quality materials

>>19325434
how is it more efficient? it is exactly the same material and the same thickness. the only real difference that i can see from your list is maybe the rivets, but if you want a durable pan you should buy one with rivets anyway, pans with spot welded handles always have a high failure rate regardless of how expensive they are. rivets never fail.

Thirding this

Um hello MID

the most MID company of all time. If you use Cuisinart anything you are a casual

how the fuck do Iget food not to stick on this thing?

>>19326388
it's a sauce pan, things are supposed to stick. once you add the liquid, the stuck bits will dissolve into the sauce and add flavor.
for frying, you need to get it piping hot before adding a generous amount of oil.

>>19326120
the only thing worse than being a casual at cooking is being a professional

>>19326397
ye I meant stainless steel cookware in general. I'll try that.

>>19323275
Cooks standard

>>19323275
Get stainless second hand and clean/refinish with bar keepers friend and maybe steel wool if it's very fucked.

>>19323343
>>19323600
Get at least a tri-ply, and check to see if it's made in France (most are). Ignore these faggots that say you need something more. I have a Cuisinart triple-ply made in France, and it is just as good as the All-Clad D3 I have of the same pan. I found mine at HomeGoods for cheap as fuck (same as all my other pans, which are C3P or All-Clad d3/d5). Tramontina made in Brazil is good too.
>Pretty sure this my Cuisinart pan

>>19326697
And to add, this is coming for someone who cooks literally every meal for himself (besides leftovers). Spend your money on better knives and a decent board instead of Demyere or All-Clad d5. Home Goods/Marshalls/TJMaxx is your friend. I got this enormous cutting board for 70 bucks.

>>19326722
>enormous cutting board
literally the most retarded thing in my kitchen. don't make the same mistake. nobody needs a cutting board this big. you don't need to put your tomato cans on it while you chop up shit.
the weight and the size make it a fucking pain in the ass to clean after each use

>>19326760
Dumb as fuck. It's called just wax the fucker and not cut meat on it. And yes, I do need to put my tomato cans on top of it because I open shit ahead of time to get prepared to layer that flavor. I literally just wipe it off after each use. I have gigantic sink, so not a big deal.

>>19326406
>What is deglaze
Does anyone actually fucking make anything here?

>>19323275
I wouldn't know because I bought all-clad

>>19326722
>and threw away his savings on blue moon

>>19326924
It was the only thing the literal only gas station within 15 miles had worth a fuck.
>I am not drinking a White Claw
Sucks living out in the middle of nowhere. Doubly sucks that Indiana stops selling beer at 8 PM on Sundays, and I didn't get done playing golf until 8:00.

>pic related is cuntry with a capital Cunt

>>19326697
What knives would you recommend? I like your approach to things

>>19327210
I have these that I use 4-5 times a week
>Victorinox 8" Chef
>Shun Classic 8" Chef
>Shun Premier Nakiri 8"
>Shun Premier paring
I got them all on sale l. Don't buy from HomeGoods, knives are always shit. I use the 8" Classic more than any knife I own.
>So much so the laser engraving for the manufactur mark is worn away.

>>19327210
>Muh knives
I bought all of them on ultra sale

>>19327253
thanks a lot I will look into these!!
