The second generation of All-Clad's Master Chef line (MC2), this cookware combines brushed aluminum with stainless-steel accents for a contemporary look. Like All-Clad's other renowned cookware collections, Master Chef provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the brushed aluminum exterior and the interior is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel.

This classic slope-sided fry pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's 12 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home kitchen--and it cooks with little or no fat for healthful meals. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is secured to the pan by stainless-steel rivets for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack ...

The ultimate in beautiful, high-performance cookware, All-Clad's innovative Copper Core collection combines the unexcelled heat conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance of stainless steel. Crafted in a unique five-ply construction, the cookware contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. Aluminum layers bond the copper to stainless-steel exteriors and interiors. Enhancing the cookware's appearance, a stripe of the copper core elegantly encircles the gleaming, mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Rolled edges on pots and pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting lids.

This beautiful round braising pan demonstrates why All-Clad's worldwide reputation is unsurpassed. It's 13 inches in diameter and 2-1/4 inches deep, and has a domed lid that makes it perfect for braising on the stovetop or in the oven. Without the lid, it's equally perfect for baking cherry cobbler, roasting quail, or browning cheese sauce on asparagus and then serving it at the table. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel loop handles are riveted to the pan for strength and stay cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Hand washing this pan will preserve its jewel-like beauty during its lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. --Fred Brack ... Read more

Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish charcoal black hard anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and the interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel.

This enormous stovetop grill pan makes clear the appeal of All-Clad's LTD cookware to contemporary cooks. It's 20 inches long and 13 inches wide, perfect for grilling a dozen big burgers or eight T-bone steaks and searing them with appetizing-looking grill marks.

A Must Have For Your Kitchen!
I just purchased this grill last week & don't know how I survived without it. It is absolutely wonderful. It fits perfectly over the 2 burners on my gas stove. I lightly seasoned with vegetable oil just before using (as recommended) and clean up has been a breeze. It easily holds 8 NY Strip steaks & could probably hold 10-12 burgers. If you like to grill inside, this is so much better than a George Foreman grill. I ordered mine from Williams Sonoma because for the same price listed here, you get free All Clad skewers (6) & a jar of roasted garlic paste marinade. Some might think it's a bit expensive, but it's something you'll only have to buy once. I felt just like Rachael Ray using mine! It's definitely a must have! ... Read more

From the Manufacturer
All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.

Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:

• Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
• Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have "hot spots" when cooking.
• Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
• Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
• Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
• Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
• The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
• The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.

Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

All-Clad Stainless Selection
In recent years, a professional-size 14-inch fry pan was added to the Stainless fry pan assortment, as well as several popular specialty pans, including: the small-size petite brasier with a dome-shaped lid; petite roti roasting pan; and the beautiful, large-capacity Dutch oven and French oven oval roasting pan with roasting rack. Both of these one-pot comfort food specialty pans comes with All-Clad’s popular high dome-shaped lid. Other specialty pans include a larger brasier pan with domed-shape lid; a complete family of round-shaped saucier saucepans for versatile stove-top cooking; a flare-sided Windsor pan in two sizes, designed for reduction and the creation of rich sauces; and a contemporary "Soup for Two" 3-1/2-quart soup pot; casseroles; an open stir fry; a versatile wok-style chef’s pan; and a "Pasta Pentola" 7-quart stockpot with colander insert and lid. All saucepans, casseroles, sauté pans, stock pots, and specialty items come with lids. Double boiler and steamer inserts, including the large steamer insert for 6-quart, 8-quart and 12-quart stockpots, are available as well.

All-Clad Stainless 10-Inch Nonstick Fry Pan - Love it!
Not only is All Clad stainless cookware superb, the nonstick is superb as well! I am not a fan of nonstick in general however I make an exception with fry pans. Eggs and cheese are just so much healthier when they are cooked with less oil. That being said I have the 7, 8 & two of the 10 inch All Clad nonstick fry pans and I couldn't be happier with them. I have 2 of the 10 inch so I can make two 3 egg omelets at the same time. I find the 10 inch is perfect for 3 eggs, my husband and I prefer our omelets loose or slightly runny versus dry and this is a great size for that, it is also great for several scrambled eggs or breakfast sausage. The 8 inch is perfect for a 2 egg omelet or scrambled eggs and the 7 inch is perfect for 1 or 2 eggs or sausage.

All Clad fry pans (and the entire All Clad cookware collection) are first class, top quality, well made, designed to last and come with a lifetime warranty...Doesn't it make more sense to buy a top quality pan that has a lifetime warranty and will be replaced by the manufacturer than a cheap pan that will eventually end up in the trash? All Clad makes more sense for your wallet and the environment and wouldn't you rather use "crème de la crème" professional quality cookware than junk? I know I would!

Highly recommended! A+++!

Not even this nonstick lasts forever
I have just about avery All-Clad pot or pan. The non sticks are no worse than others out there but, they do eventually flake off their nonstick surface. I did return mine for a full refund after 3 years of use which was nice. However, when it comes to nonstick, that is one time when I would opt for a cheaper version that I won't feel bad throwing away.

Great pan, lifetime warranty, but high cost!
I've heard some complain that their nonstick surface did not last as long as they would have liked, or that it actually became sticky. Those reading should know that you should only use a nonstick pan for cooking things that require it, like; omlettes, eggs, pancakes, etc. For sautes and normal cooking, you should have another regular (i.e. not a nonstick type) pan. This will ensure that your nonstick pan will last a very long time because you will not be prematurely wearing it down by using it for cooking it was not made for. Sautes cook much better on a regular pan anyway. You should only use plastic or wood utensils on it, never metal. Also, nonstick pans are NOT dishwasher safe! Dishwashers will damage the nonstick surface! Wash your nonstick with a soft sponge and soapy water only.

All Clad is probably the best cookware around. This is due to the layered metal design (and the lifetime warranty). It has stainless steel layers with aluminium in between. This works to evenly distribute the heat (even if you have a nasty electric element stove!) because aluminium is a great heat conductor. Also, this pan has the layers on the sides as well so the heat distribution is quite even.

That said, my feeling is that this pan is too expensive. It's very well made and works well, however for non stick pans, you will see very similar performace in the much cheaper Emerilware nonstick (also made by All Clad). The difference is that the Emerilware nonstick pan does not use any stainless steel. Instead, it uses anodized aluminium. Aluminium is a great heat conductor so this pan will perform just as well, for a much cheaper price. The outside finish may not look as good for as long as a stainless steel finish though so if you care about looks and don't mind spending the money, this All Clad is tops.

The Emerilware one still has the lifetime warranty and is of the exact same dimensions as the All Clad branded one. And I like the handle on the Emerilware even better than the handle on the All Clad.

With this All Clad, you are paying more for the layered stainless steel and aluminium, which require more labor to produce as well as more metel and materials.

Of course the choice is yours. If you want the best and don't mind spending the extra money, this All Clad is tops. If however you want nearly identical performance at a cheaper cost and the same lifetime warranty, the less expensive Emerilware pan would be a better match. I don't think you can go wrong either way!

Expected better for the price
This is my most-used pan. My only beef is that the non-stick coating degrades over time. The coating desn't flake off like cheaper immitations, but it does wear away. After a couple of years, it just wasn't working. Frying an egg is the ultimate test of a non-stick. They slide around the pan when the pan is new. I returned it to All-Clad, and they replaced it with a new one. I'm now on my second pan and after another couple of years, it's going the same way. I can't complain about customer service, as they gave me a new pan without any original packaging or a receipt.

I wash the pan by hand and I never use metalic utensils in it. I never use it inside the oven. I think as far as non-sticks go, this is a fine product. I just don't think there is such a thing as a non-stick that can last that long. If All-Clad are happy to keep replacing my pan, then I guess I'll stick with it.

Re: "My favorite pan" by " from Chicago, my kind of town"
FYI: Cooks Illustrated used 8Qt Stockpot for the comparison, not this one (eventhough the comparison is for Dutch Oven)

My favorite pan
I bought this after reading a comparison of dutch ovens in "Cook's Illustrated." This one, along with I think LeCrueset, ranked highest (and this one was lighter-weight). I have not been disappointed. I use it for soups, stews, pot roast, etc. It conducts heat beautifully and even cleans up well. It's just a great tool. ... Read more

Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal-black, hard-anodized aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the hard-anodized aluminum exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling.

This nine-piece set of stylish LTD cookware consists of a 10-inch fry pan with a layer of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick coating bonded to the interior steel layer; a 2-quart covered saucepan; a 3-quart covered saucepan; a 3-quart covered sauté pan; and a 6-quart covered stockpot. Polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. Both the lids' handles and the pans' long handles (holed for hanging on hooks or pegs) stay cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

Inspiring cookware set... worth the price!
I got this set as a wedding/christmas/birthday present
from my mother. I did a LOT of research before picking
this set out. I read reviews of other sets, compared
prices, materials.. you name it, I checked it out. I
even did some reading in various cookbooks to try to
learn as much as I could about good cookware. Here
are some of the basics I learned.. good cookware should
be made to last a life time, it should heat EVENLY, it
should carry a strong warranty, it should be beautiful,

and it should be expensive (because you get what you pay
for!). So why did I decide to go with All Clad's LTD 9
piece set?

All Clad has a few lines of cookware. ALL of them have
aluminum cores (and in case you didn't learn this already, aluminum is an EXCELLENT heat conductor). So why the LTD? LTD cookware is made with a stainless steel interior (which is great because it's the most durable metal of all), a pure aluminum core, and a beautiful dark gray hard anodized aluminum exterior. Why hard anodized aluminum for the exterior? Well, although aluminum is a superb heat conductor (second only to copper), it's not very durable. But good old science found a way to make aluminum stronger WITHOUT taking away its heat conducting properties. It's an electro-chemical process that "anodizes" the aluminum. Hard anodized aluminum is actually stronger than stainless steel!! So when you get cookware that has a stainless steel (18/10) interior, a PURE aluminum core, and a super durable and super beautiful hard anodized aluminum exterior, you get the best of all worlds.

This set itself is almost perfect as far as the pieces go. My only complaint is that the stock pot is too small. BUT..the sautee pan, the nonstick frying pan (which by the way has the GREATEST nonstick surface I've ever used!), and the two sauce pans are WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL pieces. Since I bought this set, I've added to it. I bought the steamer insert (which fits into the larger sauce pan), a 7" frying pan, and a 1 and a half quart sauce pan.. all LTD, and all PERFECT. I have absolutely no complaints about the pieces themselves. Water boils faster in these pieces than in ANY other piece I've ever used. And more importantly, it heats EVENLY. You won't look into the pot as it starts to simmer and see that the bubbles are only coming up from one side of the pan. The bubbles come up evenly from the entire bottom of the pan. Oh, and did I mention that the aluminum core goes ALL THE WAY up the sides of the pan? The heat from the burner gets transfered ALL THE WAY up to the top of your pan, making it heat up incredibly fast!

All in all, all clad is a perfect 10. The other sets (MC2, copper chef, etc..) look pretty good too, but they have their drawbacks. The LTD set is perfect, and beautiful. I highly recommend it.

Pricey but worth it
My all-clad LTD set has withstood five years of hard-core cooking. With proper care, it looks almost as good as new. The set is well-designed to distribute heat well for uniform cooking, as well as having an attractive finish.

Pricey but worth it for the serious home cook.

Nice cookware, but...
I just received this cookware about a week ago and have used it a couple of times. I bought it based on research and reviews. I must say that while it is aesthetically pleasing and durable, it is not as low maintenance as I expected. I followed directions on using low to medium heat, not putting salt without boiling the water first, etc. and I still found that when I made rice, there was residue left that was hard to remove. In other words, the pot no longer had the same shine after washing. Also I find that this cookware needs to be cleaned immediately after using, and I feel it requires complete drying so as not to give the water a chance to settle. Now, I am waiting for Bar Keeper's Friend to see if this will actually correct the residue problem. All in all, it is certainly fine cookware, and I'm quite happy with it regardless of the drawbacks I mentioned. If anyone has any suggestions, I certainly welcome them...

Perfect investment for the Kitchen
I always thought the All-Clad LTD cookware were beautiful but I also thought they were rather expensive and wasn't convinced that they were worth spending so much. But I received this 9-pc set as a gift and am now a firm believer of using quality cookware. I can't imagine cooking with anything else. It is definitely more cost effective to get the set, and it contains pieces most people would use. Or it can be a good starter set. These pots and pans are an investment and they will last you a lifetime; you will bequeath them to your progeny! They aren't so expensive when you consider this.

The piece I use most is the 3qt sauté pan, it's the most versatile of the bunch. I use it for frying, and I love the edges of the pan which help prevent liquids from spilling out.

The 9-pc set I got came with the 10" sticky frypan instead of the non-stick featured in this set. I must admit that I rarely use the 10" frypan, always opting for the 3qt sauté pan instead. But this would be the perfect pan for making omlettes.

The 6qt stockpot is perfect for cooking pasta (my primary use), and for cooking larger dishes like Cassoulet and Chicken Cacciatore. It sounds too large for these dishes, but it's perfect for me because I cook large amounts and the sides of a stockpot help prevent the liquids from spilling over.

The 2qt and 3qt sauce pans are versatile for heating soup, cooking sauces, veggies, and smaller portions of whatever. I alse use the 2qt sauce pan as a butter warmer (because I just can't justify getting the All-Clad butter warmer).

These pieces look wonderful on the stove. They're a bit heavy, but you will get used to this. They are ovensafe; I never thought this was an important feature until I used the 3qt sauce pan to bake brownies and the 6qt stockpot to put the finishing touches on my Cassoulet. They are easy to clean. And they definitely make cooking more pleasurable.

Spectacular Cookware in every way (except price)!
The All-Clad 9 piece set is probably the best cookware available today. We love it plus it has a very attractive "look and feel" to it. It almost could be described as functional industrial art.

Are there drawbacks? Well yes and no ...specifically the price is strong but worth it. Second, the pieces are almost indestructable ...they will last a life time but remember this is for the serious cook. The only drawback to this set is the six quart stockpot ...good but, we enjoy making homemade soups and it is not big enough unfortunately ...in sum, if you are a serious cook or just thinking about it, this is the cookware for you but remember you don't buy it, you invest in it!

PS If you are interested, price it out in housewares stores or department stores, the Amazon price ... makes Amazon the lowest cost source. ... Read more

All-Clad's 12-quart multicooker and asparagus steamer cooks asparagus evenly by holding it upright. The tender tips are held farthest from the heat, while thicker stems are just above the boiling water. Crafted of durable, beautiful 18/10 stainless steel, the cooker features an aluminum disk in the bottom for quick, even heat distribution. The exterior finish is satin-finish, while the interior is highly polished stainless steel for easy cleaning. The cooker measure 5.75 inches wide by 8.75 inches tall--plenty large for a good helping of veggies. Hand-wash this cooker and steamer with mild cleanser. It carries a lifetime warranty.-- Rhonda Langdon

From the Manufacturer
All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.

Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:

• Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
• Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have "hot spots" when cooking.
• Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
• Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
• Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
• Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
• The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
• The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.

Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

All-Clad Stainless Selection
In recent years, a professional-size 14-inch fry pan was added to the Stainless fry pan assortment, as well as several popular specialty pans, including: the small-size petite brasier with a dome-shaped lid; petite roti roasting pan; and the beautiful, large-capacity Dutch oven and French oven oval roasting pan with roasting rack. Both of these one-pot comfort food specialty pans comes with All-Clad’s popular high dome-shaped lid. Other specialty pans include a larger brasier pan with domed-shape lid; a complete family of round-shaped saucier saucepans for versatile stove-top cooking; a flare-sided Windsor pan in two sizes, designed for reduction and the creation of rich sauces; and a contemporary "Soup for Two" 3-1/2-quart soup pot; casseroles; an open stir fry; a versatile wok-style chef’s pan; and a "Pasta Pentola" 7-quart stockpot with colander insert and lid. All saucepans, casseroles, sauté pans, stock pots, and specialty items come with lids. Double boiler and steamer inserts, including the large steamer insert for 6-quart, 8-quart and 12-quart stockpots, are available as well. Stainless cookware sets are available in various sizes, from a starter 5-piece to a complete 10-piece set.

Asparagus the right way.
I love asparagus, and I hate it when it isn't cooked right! This All-Clad Asparagus Steamer prevents me from ruining my favorite vegetable. It is easy to clean and easy to store. And for the price, easy to buy!

About the asparagus pan
I actually don't have an ALL CLAD bran asparagus pan, but do own one from a comparable vender. I thought the pan itself is great. Great for cooking corn, noodles, and even broccoli etc.. I, also thought it was a great reasonable gift idea. Caution with gas stove...if it boils over can extinguish flame.

WORKS LIKE A CHARM
USED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST NIGHT,I WAS TIRED OF OVERCOOKING ASPARAGUS.WORKED GREAT.IT IS MADE OF QUALITY STAINLESS.BASKET IS THE RIGHT SIZE FIGHTS NICELY INTO THE POT AND THE HANDLE MOVES OFF TO THE SIDE,IT LAYS DOWN.I BOILED EGGS ALSO,GREAT WAY TO BOIL 5-8 EGGS.I WAS VERY IMPRESSED. ...

It's 20 inches long and 13 inches wide, perfect for cooking a dozen big burgers or pancakes for a crowd. A channel runs around the perimeter to drain off fat and juices when grilling meats. Because the grill's cooking surface is durable nonstick, you can grill healthful meals without using butter or oil and you'll have an easier cleanup. Polished 18/10 stainless-steel handles are riveted to the griddle for strength, provide 2 inches of space to accommodate big hands, and stay cool on the stovetop.

A Must Have In Your Kitchen !
This fabulous All Clad LTD griddle has become a weekend morning staple in our kitchen. We prepare "big" family breakfasts on the weekends and with this griddle we cook bacon, sausage, pancakes, eggs, hash browns...the works...all together. It fits such large portions, that we can serve hot food all together. It is wonderful!
We have a gas stove top and we find that this griddle cooks evenly across the entire surface. There are no "primary hot zones".

Best kitchen item I have ever purchased
Amazing pretty much says it all for this griddle. I cook everything from pancakes to grilled cheese to crepes to cheesesteaks. Works great for bacon, all of the grease collects on the sides and then easily pours out. Would recommend All-clad products for everyone. The best thing is that at the end of the cooking, all you do is rinse it in the sink, and everything comes off. No awful scrubbing.

Great griddle
We just remodeled our kitchen and I really suffered trying to decide whether to buy the stove top with a built in griddle or not. I finally decided to go with the six burner stove top without the griddle since someone suggested to me that the All Clad griddle would fit perfectly on two burners of the stove. I'm so happy I did that. I don't use the griddle a whole lot and with this one I can store it and then pull it out when needed. It cleans very easily and is a delight to cook on.

I use it all the time and keep finding new uses
This is a terrific tool for any cook. I thought my husband and I were nuts for buying such an expensive pancake griddle. It makes terrific pancakes but I use it all time, on the stove and inside the oven to grill and roast everything from asparagus to zucchini with stops on the way for chicken, salmon and potatoes. It heats quickly, evenly and holds the heat for a long time. Can be cleaned with little effort.

Great griddle, but the useable area is less than listed.
I really like this griddle and would have given it 5 stars but for a detail.

Pros:
I use this griddle on an electric coil stove, on one large and one small burner. It heats very evenly even with the small burner, is heavy enough not to slide around while cooking, is light enough to move easily (vs. cast iron), and the non-stick surface make cleaning a breeze. It also has a grease gutter on the perimeter that can hold the griddle in place on the burner. The handles are vertical and grip extends slightly inward so it does not bang on the rear of the stove. It doesn't interfere with cooking as I thought it might.

Cons:
However, the grease gutter is about 1 inch all around that subtracts from the cooking surface, making the cooking area more like 11x18 instead of the listed 13x20. The transition from the cooking surface to the gutter is rounded so pancake batter poured near the edge can run into the gutter. It would have been better if the gutter was narrower and the edge was more square, but other non-cast iron models are designed similarly.

A good-quality product that I would buy again. ... Read more

Best non-stick frying pan in the world!
You do get what you pay for. This pricey All-Clad (aren't all All-Clads pricey?) 12" non-stick frying pan is really terrific. One only needs to pick it up to notice its heft that this is a serious pan. I have been using this pan for the past six months. The heat distribution from the bottom of the pan to the non-stick service is even and quick. The non-stick service is very durable. I have not noticed even one tiny scratch on it yet. Cleaning with warm water and dish detergent is very easy and effortless. It is worth every penny. ... Read more

Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, so it's stick-resistant as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant.

This classic, straight-sided 2-quart saucepan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless line is so popular. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly in the pan, even though it's 4-1/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, the taste of tomato-based pasta sauces and other acidic foods won't be metallic. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. The long handle (holed for hanging on a hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat.

Another great value from ALL-CLAD
I had never heard of ALL-CLAD products until my brother-in-law (of all people--he hates to cook) purchased a set of cookware that was on sale. When I saw it in his kitchen, I thought it looked so good, I picked up this saucepan (I'm forever making sauces). It was one of the best purchases, kitchenwise, I'd made in a while. It has the two qualities that all cooks demand: it's easy to clean and it's durable. The lid sits firmly and snugly.

A Great Head of Steam!
I have read people's comments about the relatively small diameter (6") of All-Clad's 2-quart saucepan. I find that the narrow diameter of this pan maintains a very hot, moist "atmosphere" in the upper region of the inside, even with the lid off. Because of that, the top of the food in the pan benefits from the radiant heat above it as well as from the physical-contact heat of the bottom and sides of the pan, even as you are adding ingredients and stirring, and with little loss of moisture from the food. The narrowness of the top of the pan helps prevent the wafting away of heat and moisture. (Using a long-handled stirring tool helps to protect your fingertips from the steam!) If you find that you are filling this pot with food, you really should transfer the food to a larger pot. In the 2-quart pan, leave enough space above the food for the "head of steam". A truly wonderful design!

A Proven Winner
All-Clad makes quality cookware with professional materials and thoughtful design. The two-quart saucepan is specialized yet versatile (see the Amazon guide which suggests making rice, potatoes, hot chocolate, etc.). The materials and weight ensure even heat distribution, non-scorching and relatively easy clean-up, and a cool handle. I am intrigued by the review of the more economical "Sur La Table' brand, but I would recommend calling them to find out the weight of the pan and other specifics to see if the two brands are really comparable.

Try "Sur la Table" instead
The All Clad 2 Quart Sauce pan in great....a perfect balance of stainless steel & aluminum. However, the downside to All-Clad is the price. There is an alternative. Go to www.surlatable.com and look at there branded cookware. We have the 1, 2 and 3 quart sauce pans and they are identical to All-Clad, but with more style and at 1/2 the price. The 2 quart sauce pan is $75, 3 quart is $85. They are the same 18/10 polished stainless steel inside and out with a solid aluminum core.

Excellent sauce pan
This is another of the workhorse pans in my kitchen. The AllClad Stainless 2qt pot is marvelous for cooking sauces that will bubble or foam; for sauces involving fruits that may need to boil. The height allows for ingredients to grow, and the small diameter means you are not waiting for items to heat up. The pot heats quickly and evenly.

Try it for cranberry sauce at the holidays, or any small sauces involving milk or cheese. Remember that the pan does not have a great surface area, so timing and delicacy in preparations is key. Leaving the pot unattended on a high heat is not a smart idea. Keeping the pot with a good warmth, slowly working up the heat of your sauce or fruit is one of the best ways to use it.

The only downside of this pot is that yes, it is difficult to pour from, and the small surface area of the pot (=smaller open area) means that ladles are often too unwieldy for it. So be prepared beforehand to know how you're going to get your sauce out of the pot without making much of a mess.

Amazon.com Review

The best seller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between layers of stainless steel lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is 18/10 stainless steel, highly polished so it's stick-resistant as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant. The exterior is gleaming, magnetic stainless steel that works on induction as well as conventional stovetops and, with care, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects and beyond. This shallow sauté pan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless is so popular. It's 10-1/2 inches in diameter, large enough for properly sautéing food without crowding and also perfect for stir-frying. Its long, polished, 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on hook or peg. It stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat so the pan can even be placed under the broiler. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.

Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:

• Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
• Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have "hot spots" when cooking.
• Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
• Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
• Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
• Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
• The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
• The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.

Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

All-Clad Stainless Selection
In recent years, a professional-size 14-inch fry pan was added to the Stainless fry pan assortment, as well as several popular specialty pans, including: the small-size petite brasier with a dome-shaped lid; petite roti roasting pan; and the beautiful, large-capacity Dutch oven and French oven oval roasting pan with roasting rack. Both of these one-pot comfort food specialty pans comes with All-Clad’s popular high dome-shaped lid. Other specialty pans include a larger brasier pan with domed-shape lid; a complete family of round-shaped saucier saucepans for versatile stove-top cooking; a flare-sided Windsor pan in two sizes, designed for reduction and the creation of rich sauces; and a contemporary "Soup for Two" 3-1/2-quart soup pot; casseroles; an open stir fry; a versatile wok-style chef’s pan; and a "Pasta Pentola" 7-quart stockpot with colander insert and lid.

The Swan of My Collection
Holding an ALL-Clad pan makes you feel like a chef! The flambe pan is a trophy of quality USA craftsmanship. A recent CIA graduate now working in San Fran recommended All-Clad and told me it is the choice of professional chefs and it is the best. I'm new to professional cookware but I wanted to start a collection of lifetime cookware. The theory was buy the best once. The weight of the pan is substantial and echoes the All-Clad reputation. You know immediately you holding a special instrument that will produce delicious results. The heat is so evenly distributed throughout the flambe pan, less heat is required. I love this pan; it is the swan of my collection! It's beautiful. It's a fun piece to use and when finishing an entree there's a little voice inside me that says taa-daaah!

Great
Great pan - I was amazed at how evenly it cooks your food.Of course, it's stainless so the clean-up isn't nearly as easy as with a non-stick pan...

Heirloom Cookware
Great piece and as usual with All Clad - Great Value. Can't be beat!

Great Value
I wouldn't buy any other cookware.The 3 quart saute pan is a must have as well.The handles stay cool and it cleans beautifully!

Simply Superb, Excellent Value!
This pan is excellent! 10 stars would be more like it! This sturdy, substantial, top quality pan is perfect for evenly cooking all your breakfast foods, grilled sandwiches, saute, etc. It has a low profile and the bottom is flat so you can cook using less energy and achieve superior results. The usable cooking surface is far greater than most larger but lower quality pans, and it takes up little storage space. It is constructed of top quality stainless steel inside and out with a double-riveted stainless steel handle. The third ply is aluminum, bonded between the layers of stainless which provides awesome heat conduction and even heat distribution, but the aluminum is completely sealed inside and never touches your food. It is oven safe up to 500 degrees so you can start cooking on the stove and finish it or keep it warm in the oven. It is a beautiful pan that is dishwasher safe and it should last a lifetime. For half a century I have used inferior pans with inferior results. With All-Clad stainless I am learning to enjoy cooking again with beautiful results! For the overall value this is an excellent buy and I recommend it without reservation! ... Read more

Recommend with reservations
One reservation I have about this pan is the handle being heavier than the body. While this doesn't interfere with actual cooking performance, it's irritating to have the pan tipping over until it has something in it. Also, I love stainless for many things, but in the future will stick to non-stick for sauciers and saucepans. You lose some of your sauce, as it sticks to the sides of the pan.

Missing the point
I think people are missing the point of this pan. It's not a saute pan with straight sides and a lid. It's a "SAUCIER" pan.

These pans are designed to reduce sauces to a servable consistancy. The curved sides of the pan allow heat to come up the sides of the pan more, as well as get more liquid in contact with a flamed area. This heats up the liquid rapidly, as well as reduces it more rapidly than other pans. It does this wonderfully.

That's what it's for, it's not for soup or anything like that. That's what "Pots" are for.

I love to use it to reduce balsamic vinegar, various juices, hard ciders, or wine into a syrupy sauce to drizzle over things.

Should last a lifetime
Two complaints: a lip for pouring would be nice; and empty it's a little tipsy on my ancient gas stovetop.

That said, this is endlessly useful for exactly what the name would imply -- sauces. Throwing together a cream sauce for two? Boiling a little water? Reheating something? Why use a big pot when a little one will do? The small size comes in handy when you have all your burners going and don't want something huge getting in the way. Plus it's cute & shiny.

There are usually great deals on these smaller pots. (Check out the regular sauce pan as well as this saucier) All the pros I know swear by all clad -- if these will stand up to years of all day, every day restaurant use, then they should be just fine for a generation or two in my kitchen... I just picked up another one of these as a wedding gift for a chef I know, and I'm tempted to get a second for myself.

Perfect except needs a lid
A 1 qt pan is really handy, now if this one only had a lid available for it, I'd give it 4 stars. (Missing one more star for having a straight lip instead of one you can pour from.)

All Clad does make a 1qt sauce pan which does have the lid, but not the pouring lip. And a Winsor pan (1.75 qt) with lid and lip, which I favor over this one. It's not a bad pot, it just could be better.

all-clad stainless is the way to go
I love all my all-clad cookware - it heats evenly and the handles don't get hot on the stove. I purchased this little pan to warm sauces and make hot cocoa and it does what I needed it to do. ... Read more

Great for smother frying or where you need a lid
This pan is the one you want for smother frying and braising things (like frying cubed steak then simmering in gravy, making smother fried pork chops, or making a pot roast.)

The straight sides are more useful for frying things then simmering them in sauces. That way, you don't have meat or veggies riding up on the sloped sides of the pan and not cooking all the way through.

The pan does not brown and fry quite as well as the standard fry pan -- so it is not really a substitute for your frypan for making burgers, and fast cooked type foods like chicken breast, pan fried steaks, and stir fry. (that is why it got the 4 stars) Because of the straight up sides, it really is closer in capacity for frying to the 10" fry pan.

Size wise, this pan holds enough for approximately 4 good sized portions of meat, gravy, and veggies.

Excellent Saute Pan! Love it!
To be honest if this pan didn't come in the set I bought I probably would not have it. Thank goodness it did because it turns out that I love it. It is great for sauted spinach, veal or chicken picatta, you will find you more uses for this pan everytime you open the cabinet. It heats evenly and is very easy to clean. As all All Clad is, this pan is excellent quality and very well made. I have just about every All Clad item made and love them all. Well worth the money and designed to last a lifetime. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. How can you go wrong?

Also, if you should get something stuck to the stainless steel use a product called "Bar Keepers Friend" to clean it. Most supermarkets have it and Kitchen Etc. and Bed, Bath and Beyond carry it too. The container (like a Comet can) is gold with blue and white writing. All Clad recommends it for cleaning stainless steel and it works like a dream and is very inexpensive.

great pan
A great all around pan. I run a single household and don't need the extra large pans. I have quite a few pieces of All-Clad and like them all very much. Very good size for frying with enough left overs for taking to work. A little Bar Keepser's friend and it cleans up rather nicely.

Open the Windows, Turn on the Vent and Turn Up the Heat!
I was a dyed in the wool Calphalon, Non Stick fan until very recently when I was asked to baby-sit a friend whose husband had gone on a Golfing vacation to Hawaii.
These friends are as set against Calphalon as I am for it: they are All-Clad fans. It was going to be a Calphalon versus All-Clad contest...and I was ready for it.
Well, for the ten days I stayed at their home I was forced to use their All-Clad pans and I, against my better judgement, fell in love with them.
Looking at all that naked Stainless Steel scared me a bit but I turned the heat on high and had a helluva time saute-ing thick Beef ribeye Steaks, Turkey Burgers, Salmon Steaks and even Tuna Burgers and never once did I have a problem with sticking nor with the clean up.
One of the major errors most home cooks make is that they are afraid to turn their burners up and cook with high heat. I guess they're afraid of setting the kitchen on fire or scaring their dogs and cats with all the luscious smoke and sizzling oil.
But browning quickly on high heat preserves the meats natural juices by sealing them in. An added bonus is that you can de-glaze the pan with wine or broth and have a nice sauce to accompany your meat or fish or to top your roasted or mashed potatoes.
Anyway, I was so impressed with this 3 quart saute pan that I bought one for myself. And though it looks a little out of place among all the black Calphalon, it does gleam and shine and makes me smile everytime walk by it.

Right Near Perfect
I almost choked on my tongue as my husband said I'll take it (he does 90% of the cooking in our home) but I've been thoroughly pleased by the performance, durability and clean up (my part of the food equation). The loop has been very handy the few times I've had to move the fully loaded, heavy pan to another part of the stove or over to the counter. Would recommend to anyone. It's worth the money. ...

Does not whistle
I got this kettle to complement my All-Clad stainless set but ended up returning because it did not whistle due to poor lid closure (as described by another reviewer). I was very disappointed by this product because all my other All-Clad pieces perform excellent.

spout failure
This is a nice but pricey teakettle. It has one serious design flaw: The spout is spotwelded to the body, and tends to leak. The company is very good about replacements, and I have replaced two of them. The third is now in hand and we will see what happens.

All-Clad, what happened?
The teapot has the All-Clad name on it, but the quality is not there. It looks good, but other than that, it was a disappointment to me, really. The metal felt very thin and sounded tinny; not at all like the robust quality cookware I've come to know and admire from All-Clad (I've purchase many other pieces from All-Clad, and they have all been outstanding!) . This teapot just does not measure-up. All-Clad, what happened?

Handle is extremely HOT!
Kettle looks very nice. Lid and whistle are fine. I am very disappointed with handle. You can't hold kettle with bare hand. Handle gets extremely hot. Never touch it without mitt. They should put some visible warning on kettle.

All Clad Stainless Tea Kettle-----Awesome
I am happy to say that I am the proud owner of this tea kettle. I have not experienced any of the problems with respect to the lid, handle or whistling mechanism. My tea kettle whistles every time. The handle stays cool due to the black underside. The lid is easy to open and close and stays put during the boiling process. You cannot go wrong buying this tea kettle. I leave mine out all the time!!! ... Read more
