Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal-black, hard-anodized aluminum exterior, the LTD 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 the hard-anodized aluminum exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior 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, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling.

This classic, versatile 1-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, foods cook uniformly in the pan, even though it's 2-1/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, tomato-based sauces and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pan except for edge, March 31, 2003

This pan is fantastic, and has served me very well when making small quantities of sauces (1 qt. isn't a very large pan!). My only complaint about it is that the top edge is suceptible to nicks and scratches. The interior and really the pan as a whole seems nearly invincible, standing up to whatever abuse I dish out. The nicked edge obviously has no effect on its cooking ability, but does somewhat impair the aesthetics of the pan. This rating should really be a 4.5.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little pan (1 Qt Saucier) - but balance is a bit off., March 16, 2008

This review is from: All-Clad LTD 1-Quart Saucier Pan (Kitchen)

(This review is of the 1 Qt. Saucier) All-Clad makes battleship built gear and this is no exception. Even heating, quick temperature transmission and lovely gently curved sides for whisking sauces. The 1 quart size is convenient for when you need a small amount - melting butter, making glaze and other small whisk sauce type activities. The main problem is that the small bottom area, sloping sides, and relatively heavy handle make for a somewhat tippy pan. Unless you have at least 2-3 ounces in the pan, it tends to sit at 5 degree angle tilted towards the handle. A misplaced spoon can lead to a spill.

As for the person who mentions trouble keeping the anodized aluminum finish clean - the answer is a scrubby and barkeepers friend of just plain old bleach cleanser. Just make a paste and power away the stains. The anodized finish is tough and can take the cleanser (but cannot take being dishwashed - the phosphates make a chalky rot that ruins anodized aluminum).

If you do a lot of little batch sauce work - this is a killer tool. Otherwise, I recommend just getting the 2-Quart (which does sauce, and also does risotto and roux) if you can only afford 1.

I love to cook and I refuse to buy any cookware other than All-Clad. My favorite is the LTD line. I have them all hung from a rack in my kitchen to show them off. I get more compliments on them!! You can not go wrong with All-Clad, it is tough, easy to clean and attractive to display. Worth the price, believe me!!!
