Trying to decide between the D5 or the Coppercore--would appreciate comments.  

Also would like to know how well the All Clad nonstick fry pans hold up.  Really need a good nonstick for frying eggs.

Sam's Club skillets are the best. I can't fry in stainless steel. Everything sticks and shreds. Sam's has 'Chefs Choice' think it's called and it's great.

When I inquired about All Clad cookware at Williams-Sonoma one time, the sales associate told me not to buy their non-stick, to spend my money on the stainless steel and buy an inexpensive non-stick pan for eggs.

@NickNack I was told the same thing by a sales associate at Williams-Sonomas but went ahead and purchased the All Clad non-stick from another store..terrible product. HSN had/has a nice, light weight line of pans..received it as a gift a few years ago...love it!

After years of non stick cookware, I recently purchased Costco's Kirkland brand of All-Clad cookware.  $159 for the enIre set and it is fabulous.  I thought it would be hard to clean, but no.  It cooks beautifully - much better than expected.  I shied away from All-Clad because I thought it would be hard to clean but I was so wrong.  And, for the price, the Costco set is exceptional.  I suggest taking a look. I do not miss my Analon non-stick at all.

I invested in two full sets of All Clad stainless cookware years ago and never regretted it. I do have a cheapy brand non-stick pan to cook my eggs though. I've never gotten the knack of frying an egg in stainless. Woman Happy

For sure. If you watch Puck fry in ss he keeps squirting more and more olive oil in the pan.  SS you can put in dishwasher that is good. Then, after they fry something they hurry up (before the pan starts burning) and make a 'roux', (gravy) by adding some liquid ingredients.

 

I'm sticking with non stick for frying eggs spray in a tad of Crisco spray.

ss cleans up great and can go in dishwasher best part of it. Tshirtgal got a good deal at Costco. 

 

No way would I pay upwards of 1000 ! I'd rather have a gold bracelet. LOL

If you are looking for a good non-stick pan for your eggs I could not recommend Curtis Stone's brand more.  I have a set of three of his pans and they are the best.  I use the small one pretty much every day and the non-stick is still as good as when the pans were new.

I always wondered about his line.

May have to give it a try.

I like  non stick frying pans from a company Update International Super Steel. These are  commerical quality pans with a triple layer on the bottom, and single layer sides. They have a line of non stick frying pans.
