Product Description
Amazon.com Review
All-Clad’s LTD cookware combines a dramatic contemporary design with superior cooking performance. A staple for any kitchen, this LTD 1-quart saucepan is just the right size for heating up soup, simmering tomato sauce, or steaming vegetables for one to two people. The exterior of the pan is black hard-anodized aluminum that is resistant to scratching, chipping, or peeling while the interior is 18/10 stainless steel, offering nonreactive cooking and an easy-to-clean surface. An aluminum core bonds these two layers together and also provides superior heat conductivity. The ergonomic handles on this frying pan are made of 18/10 stainless steel and are designed to help balance the pan and stay cool over heat. LTD cookware should only be used over low to medium stovetop heat to prevent discoloration but can withstand oven temperatures up to 500 degrees F. Designed and warranted to last a lifetime, All-Clad cookware should be hand washed to preserve its beauty and longevity. --Cristina Vaamonde

If you are an All-Clad user, DO NOT BUY THIS,
By A common man "dorak" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All-Clad LTD 1-Quart Open Sauce Pan (Kitchen)
If you have used All-Clad before, BEWARE: this is All-Clad only in name, not in quality! I have used All-Clad from many years and have about a dozen pots and pans from their LTD line and each and every one of them I LOVE. Unfortunately, it appears that you can no longer purchase pots of that quality and although the All-Clad label still exists, their quality is very far below that of the older pan I have. I cannot recommend them....and this is very unfortunate because I have been very, very vocal in the past about how wonderful their product line was.Recently I purchased this pot because I couldn't resist the price...and I am returning it as I have all the other recent LTD All-Clad purchases I have made. All six LTD All-Clad pots I have purchased recently are made in China (my old pans were made in USA). Three of the pots I returned immediately because of flaws in manufacturing. Of the remaining three, I have used two, both of which I cannot get clean (after much effort) and both of which after only one use look much older then LTD pans I have used daily for many years (and those pans still clean effortlessly!). Do not buy this product if you are an All-Clad customer! I have not used another product for many years so I can't say how these sub-standard pans perform compared to other companies products, but I would look there before spending the money on these cheap nock-offs. What a bummer!

Good value but has flaws,
This review is from: All-Clad LTD 1-Quart Open Sauce Pan (Kitchen)
I get a lot of use out of this pan. Specifically, I often use it to melt butter and sometimes to do a quick sauté of a small quanity of ingredients, like chopped onions. I think this is good value for the money.However, I find a couple of significant flaws. The first is common to all All-Clad pans. The V-shape handle is not as comfortable as it could be. Compare the handle to that on higher-end lines like Demeyere and Bourgeat and you'll see that All-Clad falls behind. Calphalon, ..., did a nice job with the shape of the handles on their Professional series but the handles can get hot. When they designed the Commercial series, they went with a copy of the flawed All-Clad handles which is unfortunate. More importantly, considering that this is a sauce pan, it should have a proper pouring lip. Without such a lip, pouring liquids is problematic. All too often, liquid will run down the side of this pan requiring more care than should be necessary. Some of the larger All-Clad pieces, such as the 8-Quart Stockpot and the frying pans do have a good pouring lip. Such a lip is probably most important on a sauce pan so I find this quite a shortcoming. I would definitely recommend the LTD and Master Chef lines over the Stainless unless you absolutely need to be able to use the dishwasher. The Master Chef and LTD lines both have 0.44mm stainless steel on the interior and 3.94mm of aluminum on the exterior while the Stainless series has an interior of 0.44mm, an aluminum core of 2.03mm, and an exterior of 0.46mm. Thicker aluminum will provide more even heating.

Flawless,
By Stephen Foster (Seattle, WA United States, via Scotland) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: All-Clad LTD 1-Quart Open Sauce Pan (Kitchen)
This is All-Clad, so just plain gushing won't quite do, here. We all know it's a superior saucepan. So if I'm going to write a review that is useful, I have to go into detail. Like the handle: comfortable, pretty, but absolutely cool enough to use a bare hand on at all times -- quite an engineering feat. Like the fat rivets that attach the handle. For anyone who needs to keep a screwdriver in the kitchen to constantly tighten the screws on their mass-market handles, this will be a welcome revelation. The stainless steel/aluminium sandwich construction that conducts and spreads the heat everywhere is no longer unique: I have an awesome KitchenAid 2 1/2 quart saucier that I still take to bed with me sometimes when I'm feeling lonely, because its bottom is so beautifully rounded, but let's stick to talking about 1 quart saucepans, shall we? Why do you need a 1 quart saucepan? If you cook for more than two people, its only use is to make sauces. Ive recently started cooking for four: sauces and vegetable side dishes are the only thing I use it for, but I hang it on the wall the rest of the time, and smile in admiration every time I pass it. All-Clad sells three different finishes on (I think) all of their pots, touting them as being equivalent, but nonetheless charging a hefty premium on their LTD line. I strongly disagree with their assessment. Anybody who was awake during their high school physics classes knows that black absorbs heat better than anything else. I ran several tests using this pan and the much cheaper (and uglier) Chefs Choice version, heating exactly 1 pint of water, and the LTD won by 35 seconds. (The preceding is just a way for you to justify buying the prettiest one.) Cooking hint: This pan is sturdy enough to sauté anything on the cooktop, and can also live in a hot oven quite happily. A perfect combination for small slow-cooked dishes that improve by sautéing. So, do not use detergent on it, or even expose it to detergent. Even a stainless interior will pick up a coat of cooking oils firmly attached to the stainless steel. Adding detergents just attaches detergent molecules to the firmly-attached oil molecules, and the result is a very sticky pan. So, wash only with hot water, and scrub with a brush that has never seen detergent. Its almost like running a kosher household, but very much worth the trouble. If you are just thinking of dipping your toes into the whole idea of high-quality cookware for the first time, then you shouldnt be looking at this specialty pan. If you are feeling cheap, then get yourself an All-Clad 8-inch nonstick frypan, and you will be in omelet heaven forever. If you are just a little more serious, then the All-Clad 10-Inch frying pan will handle 95% of your frying needs for the rest of your life. This 1 Qt pan is not exactly essential, but I use mine at least once per week, and love having it handy.
