Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Stainless 2-Quart Saute Pan
Customer Review: All Clad versus Calphalon One
Summary: 5 Stars
I own both All Clad and Calphalon One. I know there are a lot of All Clad vs. Calphalon One discussions/debates. My personal experience is both are really good and you can't go wrong with any one of them. I am not a professional cook - so it's purely a point of view from a person who wants to learn more in cooking.
A few points:
1. Clean-up - I think Calphalon One is easier to clean, just soak it in hot sudsy water for 15-30 mins and the remains will fall off. Even I didn't make a mess, I need to clean my All Clad with Bar Keeper's Friend (BKF). I use BKF on my Calphalon One only when the mess is really bad.
2. Time to heat up - For some reason, my All Clad pan heats up quicker than my Calphalon One pan. But the time difference is very small.
3. Level of "stickiness" - To me, changing from non-stick to stainless steel and hard anodized aluminum is smooth and easy. As long as you follow instructions, sunny-side-up eggs do not stick on both brands. I have yet to try scrambled eggs (I think I shouldn't try, but I am really curious)...
4. Handle - I read that some people have problems with All Clad handles. To me, no problem at all! Maybe I am used to holding the pan back-handed and the All Clad handle just fits nicely. Calphalon One handle is also great - haven't heard any complaints at all.
5. Aesthetic issue - Since this line of All Clad is stainless steel (very shiny), it will show its normal wear and tear easier when compared to Calphalon One, which has a much darker color & non-shiny surface. Just look at your stainless steel kettle and you may get what I mean - It's just very hard to avoid those normal wear and tear and it shows because the surface is shiny. I only use wooden utensils and no steel wool nor abrasive cleansers! Of course, those normal wear and tear will not affect the quality of the cookware.
Conclusion: You can't go wrong with any one of them. The price difference, in general, is very small between the 2 lines. Personally, I prefer Calphalon One since it's much easier to clean and it doesn't show normal wear and tear easily (relative to All Clad stainless steel). And I don't mind waiting for just a little bit longer for the pan to heat up.
Hope this helps someone in making purchase decisions!
Added on June 15, 2009: After 3 years, I sold all my Calphalon One and got everything in All Clad, particularly the LTD line. The LTD line has a dark finish, so it doesn't really show normal wear and tear easily.
In fact, both pans are of quality, however, my Calphalon One for some reason got some stains that I am unable to remove, even with Bar Keepers' Friend. Also, Williams Sonoma discontinued selling Calphalon One - Nonstick version this April and the anodized version with the steel cover about 1-2 years ago.
Description of All-Clad Stainless 2-Quart Saute Pan
All-Clad Stainless Steel Saute Pan with Lid All-Clad's Saute Pan features a gleaming 18/10 stainless steel finish with an aluminum core, creating efficient and even heating. Use this pan to cook fresh pastas or sauteed dishes in the oven, on the stove, or under the broiler. It comes with a stainless steel lid and cast stainless steel cool-to-the-touch handle. Featuring an assist, loop handle opposite the long handle, this pan can be used for easy pouring and transporting. Dishwasher safe. Available in 2, 3, 4, and 6 quart sizes, also available in a 6 quart deep size ( taller sides, smaller base ). Features: 3-ply bond construction 18/10 stainless steel interior/exterior Aluminum core Magnetic stainless steel exterior base Includes stainless steel lid Cast stainless steel cool-to-the-touch handle and assist handle Safe for use on traditional or induction cooktops Broiler/oven safe Dishwasher safeThe bestseller 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 highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, 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, will remain beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.
This classic straight-sided 2-quart sauté pan makes clear why All-Clad's Stainless is so popular. It's 8 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches deep, perfect for sautéing veal scallops with chanterelles or garlic-scented greens. 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 heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack
