Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steel 5-Quart 11-Inch Covered Deep Saute Pan
A useful addition to any cookware collection, this 11-inch deep saute pan by Cooks Standard features a flat base, tall straight sides, and a spacious interior that can hold up to 5 quarts at a time. The pan, which measures 21 by 11-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches, comes in handy for everything from day-to-day dinners with the family to trying out new recipes when gathering with friends on the weekends. It works especially well for one-pot meals–start by sauteing onions and garlic on the stovetop, add liquids and other ingredients, and finish by cooking to completion in the oven.
What is Multi-Ply Clad Metal Construction?
Multi-Ply Clad metal construction is a combination of 18/10 stainless steel with a multi-element aluminum core that creates a permanent bond of metal, so heat passes through the whole pan body from the bottom up the side walls, not just at the bottom, for maximum cooking performance.
Durable Stainless Steel with Even-Heating Aluminum Core
As part of Cooks Standard’s Multi-Ply Clad Stainless Steel cookware, the collection features three layers of clad metal for high-quality performance and excellent cooking results. The interior surface of the cookware provides a smooth, hard layer of premium-grade 18/10 stainless steel, while the stainless-steel exterior offers an elegant mirror-polished finish for enhanced visual appeal.
Best of all, an inner core of multi-element alloy aluminum comes sandwiched between the interior and exterior layer of stainless steel for faster heating and excellent heat distribution. The aluminum core extends from the bottom all the way up the side walls for total coverage. It’s the best of both–durable stainless steel for strength combined with the fast, thorough heating of aluminum.
Stay-Cool Handles with Air-Flow Technology
Thoughtfully designed, the cookware’s solid stainless-steel handles come riveted for strength and provide an open V-shaped design with air-flow technology that keeps the handle cooler and more comfortable to hold when cooking on the stovetop. The long handles on the pans and the generous loop side handles on the pots make the vessels easy to move around on the stovetop or to safely lift and carry, even when full. Though the handles stay cooler to the touch, pot holders or oven mitts are still recommended.
Other Highlights
The cookware’s matching stainless-steel lids fit securely, helping to trap in heat, moisture, and nutrients, plus they come with loop handles for safe, simple placement or removal. Another thoughtful detail includes the cookware’s scratch-resistant stainless-steel bases, which come with a brushed finish and that can be safely used on any type of stovetop, including gas, electric, ceramic glass, even induction. Oven-safe up to 500 degrees F, the cookware offers outstanding versatility, transitioning effortlessly from cooking on the stovetop to browning or finishing in the oven (not broiler safe).

If you have a problem with these you’re doing something wrong! I’ve been using these for a couple years now and have to say they are the nicest SS pots and pans I’ve used. I grew up with my mother’s Saladmasters, have used some of the ‘expensive is good’ stuff and I’m here to tell you if there’s anything better out there it wouldn’t be $5 better, let alone hundreds of dollars better. This is high quality cookware, heavy but not too heavy, longer than average handles but not too long. Minimal buzz at high level on induction but that’s not the cookware’s…
Same quality as Le Creuset, better design than All-Clad! This review is for: Cooks Standard Multi-Ply Clad Stainless-Steelâ 5-Quart 11-Inch Covered Deep Saute Pan.VALUE. I’ve been wanting a set of tri-ply stainless cookware and never understood the premium people were willing to pay for All-Clad. I was really glad to find this brand – I got the 10-piece set and this deep pan – it was cheaper at the time to buy it separately, than to buy the bigger set that includes it. The sets are a fantastic value, the separate items are a bit more…
