Stunning good looks and superior performance combine in this seven-piece cookware set. The collection includes an 8-inch fry pan, a 1-1/2-quart covered saucepan, a 3-quart covered saute pan, and a 6-quart covered stockpot. Offering unique triple-ply bonded construction, the cookware pieces feature a brushed aluminum exterior, a hand-polished 18/10 stainless-steel interior that will not react with food, and an inner core that is pure aluminum not just at the bottom, but all the way up the sides for optimum heat conductivity. Stainless-steel handles stay cool to the touch and are secured with non-corrosive rivets, while sure-fitting stainless-steel lids form a seal to keep in moisture and nutrients for tender, flavorful food. Oven-safe to 500 degrees F, the cookware carries a limited lifetime warranty and should be washed by hand.

Single Guy Learns to Love Cooking,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All-Clad Master Chef 2 7-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
These pans are awesome. That's my opinion but my opinion doesn't mean much because I've never owned anything else. So, let me tell you what my concerns were before buying and why it ended up so great.
Concern 1: Stick & Burn I cook a lot but I'm always in a hurry. Young, single guy on a budget. I need to cook quickly. For this reason, I had almost gone with non-stick. Most likely hard-anodized. That would have been a mistake. Stick is non-existent with these pans. First thing I did was to take out the 8" frying pan and fry and egg, the ultimate test of stick. I listened to the reviews. Let the pan heat up first, add the butter, then the egg. I nervously went for the flip expecting the egg to be stuck, but it was so slick it almost hit the ceiling when I flipped it. The egg came out perfect and the pan was clean as new with some hot water and dish soap. I never thought I'd have such a stupid grin from flipping an egg. I've heard quality has a huge affect on the stickiness of stainless and this is obviously quality. Concern 2: Use & Cleanup Before this set, I cooked mostly with cast iron (and some horribly old teflon, but we won't talk about that). Cast iron was great, but the cleanup was terrible, the pans were so heavy and don't even get me started on the seasoning. Not to mention you can't use acids in cast iron. With my new stuff, all of that is thrown out the window. They are light enough to work with easily, transfering from stove-top to oven. And cleanup is a breeze. I haven't cooked anything yet that hasn't come up with hot water and dish soap. There are odd-colored stains here and there from use, but those are removed easily with Bar Keepers friend. Other than that, they are idiot proof, which is great for me making bacon and eggs drunk at 4 am. Which came out perfect, by the way. Concern 3: Price This was a big one. If you'd asked me 2 weeks ago if I was going to drop $350 on cookware, I'd have called you crazy. That's what I earn in a week. But one night, I'm cooking and my teflon pan is flaking. Gross. I grab the cast iron, nearly breaking my wrist and I'm fed up. The search begins and this is wear I really shine. I did days of research to find the best I could afford. That was about half this much. A nice set of Rachel Ray Hard Anodized. At the end of the day, though, it was the reviews that led me to the right choice. People explained to me the difference between an aluminum wrap and just a bottom coating. How much even heat distribution will affect stick and even cooking. How no matter how good, non-stick will lose it's non-stick coating, but stainless will last forever. Up the ladder I went until I found this set. At the price, it's a steal for this quality but it comes to whether you need this particular set. Many people say the pieces are too small. As a singe guy, I find them perfect. I think for a family of 2-3 they would be excellent as well. Conclusion: The cooking world is now my oyster and I plan on tackling it head on. I've got a list of recipes prepared and these bad boys and I are going to knock 'em out together. If you're looking to give yourself a way to cook and I mean really cook, invest in yourself and invest in some excellent stainless.

A great start to a good kitchen,

Theis set gives a good start for premium cookware. The brushed exterior is great if you don't like to polish your pots and pans all the time. I've found MC2 to the be the best in terms of balancing maintenance and quality of cooking. I have a few other pans that are coper or cast iron, but the majority of my cooking is now done in the these (and a few supplement pieces) of the MC2 line.

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!!,
By Kaye Henry "Infamouskaye" (Jersey City, NJ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All-Clad Master Chef 2 7-Piece Cookware Set (Kitchen)
This set is my 2nd set of cookware, the first being Calphalon One. I have no problems with Calphalon One and thought it was the best until I came across and bought this All Clad MasterChef 2 10 pc set. Provided you know how to cook in them, you'll absolutely adore them, always preheat and set your fire low to medium, never high! For a person like me who loves to cook, this is no doubt the best cookware I have had. I am also looking to purchase the All Clad LTD 10 pc set in the near future. I am so excited already!
