Did not want to love this line of All-Clad, read every review I could find, was aware of the pro's and con's, however given the All-Clad name, it became evident to me that this would have to be my choice in a new set of cookware. I have had my current non-stick cookware over 10 years, the big saute pan is just getting to a point where is not releasing at clean up as well as it should. The rest of the set is just fine, but I am a little OCD and want everything to matching, not to mention that the neighbor's 18 year old is moving out and needs stuff for his apartment. The old cookware set will be donated, anything to get his poorly parked car off our street (LOL).
So, with that explained, I tentatively purchased the HA-1 4 quart Saute Pan, first, hoping for the best. It is a heavy beast, sturdy, thick, heats up a little slower than my old set (it is thicker than the old set, I am using a glass top range), holds the heat excellently, heats very evenly, does not require high settings, does just fine at lower temperature settings on the burners (most likely due to the fact that it holds heat better than the old set, and the heat is more evenly distributed), cleans up/releases perfectly, using all silicon utensils, washing by hand with a non-scratch scrubby (no dishwasher for any of my pots/pans ever), no scratches, no separation of the bottom of the pot/pan from the overall pot/pan, I totally fell in love with this All-Clad line HA-1 line of Non-Stick PFOA Free Pots & Pans. I will be purchasing every one I can for a complete set! I have waited and used the HA-1 pots/pans now for over 6 months before reviewing and order more of the HA-1 line. Wanted some time, washing and cooking under it's belt before investing more into the HA-1 line and reviewing.
I am now the proud owner of their 12" HA-1 Non-Stick Frying Pan, 2.5 HA-1 Quart Non-Stick Sauce Pan & just ordered the 8 & 10" HA-1 Non-Stick Combo of Frying Pans. I did not want to love these pots/pans, I do love these pots/pans, and expect that they will give me the same 10+ years that I got from the previous set, perhaps more.
I will say the handle is brutal, hurts like heck to pick it up when it is full, any of these pots and pans when heavy with contents, given the handle will hurt your hand. But the handle does accommodate a spoon/utensil resting on it with the bowl/utensil side of the spoon/utensil pointed into the pot/pan, I suspect that is the reason the handle is shaped the way it is.
I SOLVED the handle problem with this item Crucible Silicon Handle cover
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KDYM9C2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). They fit these handles to a tee, resolve the "biting into your palm issue" when lifting the pot/pan, give one more dexterity with the pot/pan when lifted. No more handle issues, done, gone, finito. However, not for use in the oven, only on the stove top, for that matter you are going to use a fairly thick potholder if you are pulling out of the oven. I have a silicon lid opener that I use for the opposing handle on the larger pots/pans, works just fine to protect your hand from the heat. The Crucible Silicon Handle cover also is wide enough to continue to support and accommodate the spoons/utensils as well, works like a charm on these pots/pans, reasonably priced as well.

Poorly packaged leading to dented lid
We’ve liked the all-clad frying pans and I thought the sauté pan would be a nice addition for Father’s Day. Unfortunately it was poorly packaged and the lid came dented. I would be wary of buy this style from Amazon.
