The pan has been a workhorse in my kitchen, and I've made mistakes, overcooking things, or letting them dry out too much, but the pan has been more than forgiving.  Still looks good hanging in my kitchen and I've had this for 4 years.  I haven't even thought about changing it out.  The reason I'm posting this now is that I had a concern with a different pan. All-Clad has gone above and beyond other customer services experiences to make sure I was satisfied with the situation.  Because of the cookware and customer service, I had to make sure folks know that when you purchase All-Clad, it comes with piece of mind.
