Cookware / skillets · quiz already filled
The quiz already filled these answers: one skillet, lifetime stainless, a steak sear, induction, 12-inch, and a $150–800 ceiling. Those answers change the pick: the card below is the current All-Clad D3 12-inch with lid you can actually pay for, not an HA1 nonstick pair sold as "the All-Clad," and not a $20 Lodge you have the money not to buy.
One 12-inch stainless skillet for a steak sear on induction, with a $150–800 ceiling already filled, is why this page is the All-Clad D3 12-inch with lid. That is the current D3 — not the HA1 nonstick pair sold as "the All-Clad," and not a $20 Lodge you can already skip.
Ask for a starter set instead and the pick becomes the Tramontina Gourmet 12-piece. Keep one skillet and the card stays the D3.
If you can spend more, a Made In stainless 12-inch can sit next to the pick. A cheaper Tramontina Gourmet 12-inch can show as the other shape. Those are not the pan this ceiling sends you to buy.
This card is the quiz winner for the filled answers. Change an answer and you can get a different winner.
