Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Master Chef 2 3-Quart Saucier PanCustomer Review: beauty and utility Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this pan to fill several holes in my lineup. My basic cookware set came with small saucepans (up to 1-1/2 quarts) as well as a large stockpot. I needed something in between. This 3 quart pan is just right. I also wanted a saucier - a pan with a rounded bottom, for things that have to be whisked or stirred. And I wanted a pan that could be used on stovetop as well as in the oven, for those recipes that use both. I have some cast iron, and enameled cast iron, but it's so heavy I find myself reluctant to use it.
This pan is beautiful, and perfect for my needs. I've only had it a week or so, but I've used it to make gravy, stir-fry green beans, and make rice pudding, risotto, and chicken and rice casserole. It works wonderfully, and cleans up easily.
Possible drawbacks: you're supposed to handwash it. It's sort of big to put in the dishwasher anyway, and it's easy to clean, so it's too not much of a drawback, IMO. Also, the handle is very long, and doesn't fit under the broiler easily. If you're planning to use it in the oven a lot, you might be better off with the "everyday pan" style - small handles on both sides, rather than a long single handle.
All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Description of All-Clad Master Chef 2 3-Quart Saucier Pan7213 MC2 is the contemporary iteration of the legendary Master Chef-All-Clad's original cookware collection. Subtly redesigned and substantially reengineered, MC2 presents a classic commercial aesthetic, light weight, and outstanding cooking performance. The 18/10 stainless steel interior complements the matte-finished, brushed aluminum exterior, providing an ideal cooking surface and exemplary heat distribution. Sculpted stay-cool handles add a finishing touch of polished stainless steel. MC2 is the ideal cookware for the professional chef or culinary enthusiast with an eye for professional style. A sexy substitute for sauce pans, the saucier easily accomplishes all that a sauce pan does, but with a rounded base for great whisking and stirring action. Sauciers are perfect for sauces and risotto, stews, curries and soups. MC2 Technical Details: MC2's patented three-ply bonded design utilizes a pure aluminum center core and an aluminum alloy exterior to produce extraordinary thermal characteristics. In addition to creating even heat distribution, this extensive use of aluminum also reduces overall item weight. An 18/10 stainless steel interior provides the ideal cooking surface that won't react with foods, and accommodates rigorous use of metal cooking utensils for optimal results, every time.

Specifications: -Materials: 3-Ply bonded construction: Brushed aluminum exterior, 18/10 stainless steel interior, pure aluminum inner layer. -Capacity: 3 Quarts. -Oven safe up to 500° F. -Handwash only 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 exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior is a thick aluminum core that spreads heat evenly across the bottom of the pan and all the way up its sides. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Handles, rivets, and tight-fitting lids are all gleaming stainless steel. This classic, versatile 3-quart saucier pan, whose sides are rounded so the amount of food it can contain relative to the diameter of its bottom is increased, illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly in the pan, even though it's 3-1/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, tomato-based sauces and other acidic foods won't taste 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. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
