What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy large saucepan, with "the same tri-ply fully-clad construction as our top-rated All-Clad pan." "It performed almost as well, but ran a little fast and hot, so onions browned slightly around the perimeter of the pan." The cooking surface is narrower, "its handle gets hot during extended cooking," and "it suffered more damage in our abuse testing than higher-ranked models," so it scored 2 of 3 for durability against the All-Clad's 3.
