Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Master Chef 2 4-Quart Sauteuse PanCustomer Review: All-Clad MC2...pan made in USA...lid made in China Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this pan because it is made in the USA & my teflon dutch oven needed to be replaced. Compared to the saute pan, the sauteuse pan is easier for me to store because it doesn't have a long handle on it; I also like the domed lid. I have always cooked using non-stick pans so this will take some getting used to. I haven't burned any food in it yet, but have had some stuck on food. I heated a little water in the pan and used some elbow grease to get the pan clean. Don't use a metal scrubber (like I did) on the inside because it will scratch the shiny finish. I'm going to purchase some Bar Keeper's Friend to clean it the next time.
I will be using the tips B. C. Specht mentioned in her 2003 Amazon review of the All-Clad MC2 saute pan.

The inside of the pan is stainless steel. The outside has a brushed aluminum finish which must be the reason the description says it's gray. I can't say that it's pretty, but it looks okay. The lid and inside of the pan are shiny. Because of the aluminum, you shouldn't put this pan in a dishwasher; the aluminum will turn an ugly, dark spotty color; ask me how I know. :( [I spent a very long time using Barkeeper's Friend on the outside of the pan trying to get its pretty finish back after letting the pan go through the dishwasher's full cycle. My pan looks better than it did, but I wasn't able to restore it to its original color] Lesson learned...I won't do it again. The stainless steel lid is dishwasher safe.
Both the sides and bottom of this All-Clad MC2 pan heat very evenly. I'm using it on a glass top stove.
I plan on using this pan for most of my cooking from frying to steaming. I love the the fact that the when I fry in it the sides are somewhat high which helps to prevent splattering. I also like the fact that the sides don't slope so I have a more useful cooking area. Of course, this pan can be used in the oven, as well as, on the top of the range.
*update: I just read the box and found out the pan is made in the USA and the lid is made in China.
Description of All-Clad Master Chef 2 4-Quart Sauteuse PanThe 4 quart sauteuse pan features a domed lid, essential for keeping moisture in as you simmer or bake a casserole in the oven. This pan is equally well-suited for braising and browning meats and veggies atop the stove. The new MC2 cookware combines the industrial style of a brushed aluminum exterior with gleaming stainless steel stay cool handles and lids. 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 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 highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Handles, rivets, and tight-fitting lids are all gleaming stainless steel.This classic, straight-sided 4-quart sauteuse pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's 11 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep, large enough for cooking a family-size one-pot meal under its domed lid. It can also go into the oven for slow-cooking pot roast or braising sauerkraut and sausages. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength, and the pan's handles stay 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
