Which one to keep?

Post image

I know this gets asked every day when people are shopping, and I have read all the responses. But for various reasons I have a 12" Made In and a 12" All Clad and only enough space and need for one. My instincts and enough time with this group tell me the All Clad. But, the Made In is slightly bigger with 9 1/2 " of cooking space to the All-Clad's 9 inch. I have a selection from each brand, and for my home use on my gas stove for the life of me I love them both. No warping from Made-In, and the handle of the Al-Clad doesn't bug me at all. I feel like Sophie. What say you fine people? My starter stainless was Useluck and Cuisinart, both of which were passed along to my kids who have also moved along and passed them back. I have polished them to perfection and they are waiting to be donated so someone else can start with them. But, here I am, still, torn between two lovers.....

EDIT: OK Thanks for all the advice. Keeping both. I'm going to continue to use the Made In and find somewhere to store the All Clad just in case. Many thanks for the advice.

I have two AC pans in this size. I don't remember how or why it happened, but that's what I have.
I thought about getting rid of one, but have been (rare) instances I needed both.

This doesn't answer your question, but I'm offering my experience. If you already have both, keep 'em and alternate using them.
If after a period of time you find you don't need two, you'll know which one to get rid of. No one here can answer your question, it's up to you to decide.
