Amazon.com Product Description
Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal black, hard-anodized aluminum exterior, the LTD2 line--the second generation of LTD--provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a five-ply, bonded construction that consists of an anodized-aluminum exterior, then a thick layer of pure aluminum, followed by a layer of 18/10 stainless steel, then another thick layer of pure aluminum, and an interior layer of 18/10 stainless steel--all of which spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The cookware's striking exterior resists stains and abrasion, while its corrosion-resistant interior is nonreactive, so tomatoes and other acidic foods won't taste metallic.
This 1-1/2-quart sauce pan makes clear why All-Clad's LTD2 cookware is so popular among contemporary cooks. It's 6 inches in diameter and 3-1/5 inches deep, perfect for making homemade marinara sauce, cooking noodles, heating soup, and much more. Oven-safe up to 500 degrees F, the cookware's polished stainless-steel lid fits evenly with the pan's edges to seal in flavor, and its long, polished stainless-steel handle comes secured with sturdy, non-corrosive rivets and stays cool to the touch on the stovetop. LTD2 cookware carries a limited lifetime warranty and cleans easily by hand or in the dishwasher (washing by hand recommended).
Product Description
As the second generation of LTD, LTD2 offers the only hard anodized cookware that is dishwasher safe. The revolutionary exterior coating technology not only gives the product the dramatic satin black appearance, but also will resist stains and abrasion while maintaining its shape and flatness. LTD2 features five-ply technology, including five alternating layers of stainless steel and aluminum, which give the product unsurpassed heat responsiveness. LTD2 is safe on all stovetops - except induction and backed by a lifetime warranty. An essential part of any kitchen, sauce pans simmer, boil and warm our food gently. One small and one large sauce pan are recommended for the well-equipped kitchen.

Good Workhorse,
By Andrew (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All-Clad LTD2 4-Quart Sauce Pan (Kitchen)
This pan cooks like a champ. I've used it on gas and electric and it always heats evenly. Gas stoves normally leave a cold spot at the center of the pan. But in this pan, the spot vanishes. I like the LTD2s because the exterior of the pans are aluminum which is more conductive than the usual stainless steel. As a result, the pan soaks up heat around it very quickly. Even if you have an old electric stove, you'll be amazed how fast water boils--especially given how thick the pan feels.
The one thing that might surprise a new buyer is the length of the handle. It's very long. I like that two oven mitts fit on the handle easily so it's stable in and out of the oven. On the cook-top, the handle almost never gets too hot to touch. When pouring pasta into a strainer, my hands are so far from the pan there's little risk of a steam burn. The handle is a good design choice for a pan that holds a gallon of hot liquid. But storing it in a cupboard is awkward. I did it for a while by stuffing smaller things under the mighty handle, but that is sub-optimal. You're really best off hanging this pan. If you live in a place where storage space is at a premium, consider a small stock pot instead. I think All-clad makes a 6 quart stock pot. Get it. It'll hold more liquid and store much easier. If you've got room, this pan is a great workhorse. I love it and so will you.

This review is from: All-Clad LTD2 1-1/2-Quart Sauce Pan (Kitchen)
My first observation is that the LTD2 cookware is not and should not be considered `black' in color. They are dark gray with a silver tone to them (for example, they do not look like a shiny black aluminum MagLite for example). The package came with an inspection tag, and judging by the completely flawless pan, I believe it was indeed personally inspected. The finish is first-rate, I can't see any way to improve upon it. In my case I bought a small 1.5qt but the heft of the pan is quite impressive. The pan IS heavy, but not uncomfortably so, more like just right. It exudes a sort of professional feel which is what I was hoping for. It is very balanced, it won't tip over on the handle side if empty. Speaking of the handle, it's MUCH better than the previous versions. I honestly didn't think the handle upgrade would make that much of a difference, but it has such a better feel to it that I'm convinced to only seek out their products with the new handle. The little 'bump' on the bottom of the handle is a good indicator of where your hand is in relation to the body of the pan and acts as a sort of 'stop' for your hand. On the top side there is a nice relief for your thumb to sit in, together they give you good balance when maneuvering the pan. I URGE you to go to a store and handle pots and pans with the older versus newer versions of handles, you'll see what I mean.As for cooking, I have only one critical observation. The LTD2 pan heats up slower than my All-Clad Stainless pan of the same size. I've tested them side-by-side and every time, the Stainless heats quicker. Is that bad? No not necessarily. In fact I've found it to be a good thing. My primary use for this pan is for delicate sauces. I am less concerned about how quick it gets to temp as I am how stable it is. When making sauce and stirring or whisking, you are introducing air into the pan and cooling it down. My totally unscientific observation is simple, when whisking a simmering sauce, the All-Clad LTD2 pan continued to simmer, that is it did not drop in temp. The Stainless pan would cool off and lose its simmer when I whisked the contents, which meant I had to increase the burner temperature at the risk of overheating and burning. Totally unscientific, but it was a simple and easy observation for me to see how the LTD2 (and its heavier construction) kept the temp a little more stable. I am a little skeptical on how well the exterior finish will hold up but I am willing to take care of it by not scouring it to death. The anodized finish seems incredibly hard, and based on about 20 cooks with it already, the bottom of the pan is just fine. My one gripe with this pan is that it doesn't have a rolled lip to facilitate pouring from the pan. Now to be fair, one should use a spoon to delicately apply sauce to a plate. You're buying All-Clad because you're either a pro or you're quality conscious, which means you're not pouring packaged gravy out of the pan onto a lump of fries. That said, if you find yourself needing to pour directly from the pan, you WILL end up with a BIG MESS down the side and then the bottom of the pan. In short, the pan is beautiful, heats slow and VERY steady, and has a great professional feel to it. I firmly believe this is the best bang-for-the-buck in the All-Clad lineup.

This review is from: All-Clad LTD2 1-1/2-Quart Sauce Pan (Kitchen)
I love this pan! The black exterior always looks nice and is easy to care for.The heavy weight of the pan balances it perfectly, even when empty. It hears evenly. It's perfect!
