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 18/10 highly polished 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, 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. 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 a hook or peg. The long handle 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

From the Manufacturer
All-Clad Stainless Construction
Each piece of All-Clad cookware features a unique metal bonding construction. All-Clad Stainless cookware sandwiches a thick core of three separate layers of aluminum between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless-steel cooking surface and a magnetic stainless-steel exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The magnetic stainless-steel exterior gives the cookware a gleaming finish. All-Clad Stainless also features the company’s signature "stay-cool" long handles, lids fashioned from gleaming 18/10 stainless steel, and highly durable stainless-steel rivets. All-Clad Stainless cookware is one of five collections from All-Clad Metalcrafters. Designed to work on conventional gas and electric ranges, as well as induction cooktops, All-Clad Stainless cookware is the best-selling collection in a full line that includes All-Clad LTD, Cop-R-Chef, Master Chef 2, and Copper Core.

Features and Benefits
All-Clad pans with a stainless interior cooking surface are oven-safe up to 500 degrees. All-Clad pans with a non-stick cooking surface are oven-safe up to 400 degrees, but should not be used under the broiler. We recommend using a low to medium temperature when cooking with All-Clad. Higher heats are not necessary and may cause discoloration (see cleaning instructions below). Other features include:

• Beautifully polished, magnetic stainless exterior layer.
• Pure aluminum core that not only covers the bottom of the pan but also extends up the sides. This allows for great heat conductivity as well as an even heat distribution so you won’t have "hot spots" when cooking.
• Stainless-steel interior layer/cooking surface.
• Long, polished stainless, stay-cool handles.
• Sturdy, non-corrosive stainless-steel rivets won't react with foods.
• Polished stainless-steel lids fit evenly with the pan’s edges to seal in flavor of your foods.
• The All-Clad Stainless collection is compatible with an induction stovetop (with the exception of a few pieces) in addition to gas and electric stovetops.
• The Stainless collection is dishwasher-safe, excluding pieces with a nonstick cooking surface.

Warranty
From date of purchase, All-Clad guarantees to repair or replace any item found defective in material, construction or workmanship under normal use and following care instructions. This excludes damage from misuse or abuse. Minor imperfections and slight color variations are normal.

Cleaning Instructions
For daily cleaning, warm soapy water is sufficient. Clean your All-Clad thoroughly after each use. Food films left of the pan may cause discoloration and sticking. To get rid of stuck-on food or discoloration and stains from using too high of a heat, we recommend cleaning your All-Clad with a product called Bar Keeper’s Friend. To use the Bar Keeper’s Friend, simply use a soft cloth or sponge and water and make into a soupy paste. This can be used on the interior, as well as the exterior of your All-Clad (excluding the Cop-R-Chef). The Bar Keeper’s Friend can also be used on the exterior of the All-Clad Stainless collection, LTD collection, and MC2 collection. For cleaning of the Cop-R-Chef exterior, simply use a brass/copper cleaner. If your water has a high iron content, you may notice a rusty discoloration. Use Bar Keeper’s Friend to remove it.

All-Clad Stainless Selection
In recent years, a professional-size 14-inch fry pan was added to the Stainless fry pan assortment, as well as several popular specialty pans, including: the small-size petite brasier with a dome-shaped lid; petite roti roasting pan; and the beautiful, large-capacity Dutch oven and French oven oval roasting pan with roasting rack. Both of these one-pot comfort food specialty pans comes with All-Clad’s popular high dome-shaped lid.

All saucepans, casseroles, sauté pans, stock pots, and specialty items come with lids. Double boiler and steamer inserts, including the large steamer insert for 6-quart, 8-quart and 12-quart stockpots, are available as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Missing the point, April 11, 2003

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

I think people are missing the point of this pan. It's not a saute pan with straight sides and a lid. It's a "SAUCIER" pan.

These pans are designed to reduce sauces to a servable consistancy. The curved sides of the pan allow heat to come up the sides of the pan more, as well as get more liquid in contact with a flamed area. This heats up the liquid rapidly, as well as reduces it more rapidly than other pans. It does this wonderfully.

That's what it's for, it's not for soup or anything like that. That's what "Pots" are for.

I love to use it to reduce balsamic vinegar, various juices, hard ciders, or wine into a syrupy sauce to drizzle over things.

4.0 out of 5 stars Should last a lifetime, March 5, 2002

By 

Brian Dolan (Somerville, MA United States) - See all my reviews

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

Two complaints: a lip for pouring would be nice; and empty it's a little tipsy on my ancient gas stovetop.

That said, this is endlessly useful for exactly what the name would imply -- sauces. Throwing together a cream sauce for two? Boiling a little water? Reheating something? Why use a big pot when a little one will do? The small size comes in handy when you have all your burners going and don't want something huge getting in the way. Plus it's cute & shiny.

There are usually great deals on these smaller pots. (Check out the regular sauce pan as well as this saucier) All the pros I know swear by all clad -- if these will stand up to years of all day, every day restaurant use, then they should be just fine for a generation or two in my kitchen... I just picked up another one of these as a wedding gift for a chef I know, and I'm tempted to get a second for myself.

3.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for the tipping!, November 18, 2005

By 

Phillip "Phillip" (Jackson, MI USA) - See all my reviews

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

This is a nice saucier for very small jobs but BE WARNED- you have to keep an eye on this pan when using it on gas stoves since the handle is so much heavier than the body. The base of the pan is smaller than the top (since that is the basic shape of the saucier pan) so the surface area is just not sturdy on the stove grates. I have tipped it and spilled out the contents MANY times while using it. If you have to reach for an item and don't hold the handle or balance it just right on your burner, it goes over VERY easily and makes a mess! Beautiful pan, but I don't use it too much because of that fact. Perhaps the larger volume 2 or 3 quart saucier would be a better, more useful buy.
