Product Description

Amazon.com Review

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 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, remains beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.

This classic, straight-sided 1-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. 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. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Size, Excellent Pan!, March 17, 2002

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 1-Quart Saucepan (Kitchen)

Ever wish for the perfect size pan for vegies, soup, sauce or gravy? Are you cooking for one or two, or need a small pan for a side dish? Ever wish you could thoroughly heat clam chowder without scorching it? Wish you could save energy by being able to cook at a lower temperature? Wishing for a pan that takes little room in the cupboard or dishwasher? One that heats from the sides as well as the bottom for even heat distribution without hot spots? A pan that is so substantial and sturdy that it may last a lifetime? If so, this may be the perfect pan for you. I am so pleased with this pan that I bought two, and a six inch lid to go with them. Some people avoid stainless because food might stick, but I have absolutely no problem with this pan. I have a small kitchen and am delighted that this pan actually fits sideways in the dishwasher between rows of posts, and because it is wider than it is tall I can stack several on one shelf. It is 3 ply, with aluminum for superior heat conduction sandwiched between layers of top quality stainless steel. Stainless doesn't react with any foods, and this pan is oven safe up to 500 degrees. I can start cooking in the pan and finish cooking or keep it warm in the oven, even use it to serve from, and store leftovers in the fridge. The double riveted handle can't fall off like a welded handle could, and there are no screws to tighten or lose. If you've ever thrown away a pan because the nonstick was scratched or peeling or the pan was warped, or thrown away food because a warped or thin pan caused it to scorch or because aluminum reacted with and discolored the food or caused it to taste metallic, then you know what a poor value in cookware can do. This pan is top of the line at a great price. Over half a century I have used many brands of cookware and none have completely pleased me until now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding value, December 29, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 1-Quart Saucepan (Kitchen)

This is outstanding All Clad quality, at an unbelieveable price. I have used various pieces of All Clad stainless for about 8 years now, and it looks almost as good as when it was new. The quality is as good as they say. I am happy to be able to add this 1 quart pan to my collection at such a low price. One quart is pretty small, but it does occasionally come in handy for small amuonts, and even if you use it rarely you will still get your $ worth. The pan is relatively short compared to its diameter (unlike All Clad's 2 quart pan, which seems exceptionally tall) and you can use it like a very small saute pan.

As others have mentioned, the pan does not come with a lid. If you have other All Clad cookware, this is not a problem - the pan is the same diameter as the 1 1/2 and 2 quart saucepans, and the lids from those fit this 1 quart version just fine. All Clad makes most of its pans in standard diameters, so there are only a few lid sizes that are needed -- the 1, 1 1/2, and 2 quart saucepans all use the same size lid; the 3 and 4 quart saucepans use the same lid as the 2 quart saute pan and 2 1/2 quart Windsor; the 6 and 8 quart stockpots use the same size lid as the 3 quart saute pan. So as your collection grows, you will find you dont really need a lid for each pan (unless you actually want to use all of them at once, and have enough burners on the range to do so!)

Keep an eye out for deals like this one on All Clad. They sometimes make available various small pans at a very low price to introduce people to the line. (One of my first purchases was the 1 1/2 quart pan in stainless, an extremely handy size which they apparently do not currently make in stainless; it is available only in the MasterChef2.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing bests All-Clad, June 3, 2002

By 

Eric (Lexington, KY (USA)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: All-Clad Stainless 1-Quart Saucepan (Kitchen)

My wife and I entertain often, and would have nothing but All-Clad. Over the years, we've tried all different makes and models of other brands, but nothing bests All-Clad. Now that we own All-Clad, we'll own nothing else (except for Emile Henry or Le Creuset). The aluminum core that extends up the sides of all the All-Clad saucepans makes for extremely even and effective heat distribution. This saucepan, which does not come with a lid, is excellent at small tasks: red wine reduction, coulis, cooked marinades, etc. The absence of the lid is understandable at the price, and actually warranted, as most sauces made in a pan this small should not be made with a lid anyway. Buy this pan (and all other All-Clad pans)- you'll never regret it.
