Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Stainless 5-1/2-Quart Saucier Pan
Customer Review: It's been worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
Regarding the All Clad brand: After living for years with cheaper brands of cookware that needed regular replacement (and frustrated us to no end with hot spots, loose handles, flaking non-stick coating etc.), we had an occasion to try All Clad when borrowing a friend's cabin for a one week vacation. We became instant converts and replaced our cookware after returning home. It's durable, attractive, easy to clean and really does cook more evenly and efficiently. The trick is that, because it's so efficient, you have to cook at lower heat than you're used to cooking at or your food will burn. Clean up is so easy though, so who needs non-stick (which flakes off eventually anyway). All you need is a little soaking, a sponge and some Bar Keeper's Friend, no need to baby it.
Regarding the 5 1/2 qt saucier: This is one of the pans that gets the most use. There's something in the design that seems to prevent most boil-overs (and it's not just the large size). I have no idea what it is but I don't remember ever having that problem with this pan. We use it all the time for making stock, cooking pasta, making large batches of spaghetti sauce, large batches of rice to freeze and reheat, you name it.
I can honestly say that we started buying this product because it's a good product that makes cooking much easier for us, not because we're out to impress anyone. Everything I've ever read says that cooking pans and knives are two types of kitchen products worth spending money on in order to get a better product and I happen to agree with those assessments. I know I could spend a fraction of the cost to get a good quality set of cast iron cookware, but I can no longer lift those pans, so for me this is the next best thing.
Description of All-Clad Stainless 5-1/2-Quart Saucier Pan
The bestseller among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections, the Stainless 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 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 18/10 highly polished 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, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.This classic, versatile 5-1/2-quart saucier has rounded sides, which increase the amount of food it can hold relative to the diameter of its bottom. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides of this pan, foods cook uniformly, even though it's 4-1/2 inches deep. 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. Like the helper handle, the pan's 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. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack
