How to properly handle an all clad pan
I just bought all clad's chef's pan (HA1) and their 10 piece set.
However, I quickly find out it's very uncomfortable to hold it by gripping the U shape handle from upper side or sideway, the edge of the handle cut in to my palm. And because the pan is very heavy (for good reason), it becomes very hard to lift it up and tilt it.
I did some research and find lots of people having this complain. There are some solution like this YouTube video, but it does not actually solve the lift and tilt problem.
I wonder what did professionals did when handling such kind of job?

If impressing guests is not in order, some string and cork (possibly cut to shape) is the cheap way to improve a handle. E.g. I got tired of the all-metal tea pot handle being hot and probably in hindsight used too much string

Make sure the pan is fully heated before adding any butter or oil. And make sure the oil or butter is hot before adding the food.
