This one looks nice for slow cooking. I love most of the All clad products but some of them are pretty expensive. This one looks nice for slow cooking.

But when cooking with Stainless, you don't want fast heating, you want even cooking with no hot spot that can burn the food. This thick, layered pan does a great job of even heat retention, so that you can cook at a lower temp, and reduce the risk of burning or uneven cooking. I've been using my pot for months now, and I am still extreamly satisfied, even with the higher price. Hope this helps! Karen Hi Anthony

My understanding of Metalurgy (fancy word but I don't really have much knowledge) is that Stainless Steel is not as good a conductor of heat as Aluminium or Copper. So then shouldn't this pan take longer to heat up than the standard SS range? I'm not doubting its brilliant, I just don't understand it.

Glad to learn that they are great. Your polenta looks fab! Such a coincidence, too. I'm making polenta with mascarpone for my cooking class tonight. :) I’ve had my eye on those new All-Clad pans as well. Glad to learn that they are great.

I can only imagine...no, FANTASIZE about how good that must have tasted. This new All Clad 5d looks and sounds very well constructed. I am in the market for replacing my Cuisinart stainless set this year and the 5d will definitely be on the short list. You specifically addressed in your review, the things I can't stand about my Cuisinart set, hot spots, thin walls, and uneven heat distribution. They are ornery. That last shot made me drool.
