A 12-inch skillet should last a lifetime and cook almost anything. But does quality construction have to cost top dollar?

We tested 7 traditional skillets (5 were fully clad with layers of aluminum and stainless steel covering the entire pan, while 2 had aluminum-steel disk bottoms) to find the best one:
All-Clad 12-inch Stainless Steel Fry Pan with Lid
Gourmet Standard Tri-Ply 12-Inch Skillet
Calphalon Contemporary Stainless 12-Inch Omelette Pan
Weil by Spring, The Healthy Kitchen 12-Inch Fry Pan
All-Clad 13-Inch Stainless French Skillet
Miu Stainless Steel 12-Inch Open Fry Pan
Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 12-Inch Skillet
