All-Clad has some very nice stuff; both 12 and 14 inch fry pans that I like a lot. The 14 inch seems like a no-brainer for the amount of surface area and the ability to avoid crowding the pan. That said, it weights 6 lbs which is pretty damn heavy for a skillet pan (my 12 inch cast iron is only 7 lbs). The 12 inch only weighs 4 lbs so for flipping and things of that nature, it's going to be a lot easier with the 12 inch.
Does anyone have much experience with a 14 inch skillet as their 'workhorse' skillet? Is the extra weight worth the extra surface area or do you find that you rarely need that extra area?

Not much experience with a 14 inch skillet, but I do have experience working with "something" that's about 14 inches on a day to day basis that's about the same weight.
It's not easy, but it's a life someone has to live
