All-Clad Stainless Construction
With its 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface and hand-polished, mirror-finished exterior, the All-Clad Stainless collection is the ultimate reflection of style and practicality. The 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, 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, 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 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. Other specialty pans include a larger brasier pan with domed-shape lid; a complete family of round-shaped saucier saucepans for versatile stove-top cooking; a flare-sided Windsor pan in two sizes, designed for reduction and the creation of rich sauces; and a contemporary "Soup for Two" 3-1/2-quart soup pot; casseroles; an open stir fry; a versatile wok-style chef’s pan; and a "Pasta Pentola" 7-quart stockpot with colander insert and 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. Stainless cookware sets are available in various sizes, from a starter 5-piece to a complete 10-piece set.

This will last a lifetime,
By Esther Schindler (Scottsdale, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: All-Clad Stainless Asparagus Pot with Steamer Basket (Kitchen)
Cooking asparagus is a pain, since few pots in our (otherwise well-equipped) household can handle it. Either you lie down the asparagus in a frypan, which means you can't fit more than about a pound at a time; or you use a pot that's entirely too big, and it takes 20 minutes for the water to come to a boil. And in both those cases, the asparagus can cook unevenly.
I'd wanted an asparagus pot for years, but somehow could never bring myself to purchase one. Who needs another single-purpose item? Just how much asparagus do I think I'm going to eat? Yet, as others have pointed out, this is less a one-item pot than it initially seems. It'll be perfect for a couple of ears of corn on the cob, for hard-boiling eggs, and for steaming a few artichokes. When I finally had the excuse to buy an aspargus pot (okay, it was part of a Halloween costume -- stick a bottle of port in the pot and carry it around: port-a-potty, get it?), I took the opportunity to do some shopping. I think I looked at a half dozen of these in a couple of stores. I looked at a few of the pots that cost about half the price, and immediately rejected them. Sure, this isn't something I expect to use all the time, but they were... not flimsy exactly, but definitely not sturdy. The less expensive model had a glass lid, which I don't trust. And, surprisingly, once you get past the "cheap" model, there's not much difference in price between the various pots. Sitting next to this All-Clad on the shelf was a pot that cost $5 less. It didn't have the bolted-on construction; its squishy handles were comfortable, but I didn't expect they'd stay that way over time. For the five bucks, I went with a brand I knew. After the bottle of port was removed from the post-Halloween festivities (and, since that's where I got cheap, the port allocated to pear-poaching duty), I tested the asparagus pot on a bundle of white asparagus I'd gotten from the local gourmet market. As Schneider says in From Amaranth to Zucchini, the quality of asparagus in the US isn't nearly as good as what you'll find in Europe, and it should be boiled rather than steamed. It took only 3 minutes to cook in my new asparagus pot, and was indeed perfectly cooked (if, indeed, not as good as the European stuff). You lift it out (though I'll warn you to have something in which to set the basket, as there was a moment of "NOW where do I put it?!") and you don't have to worry about tongs or other awkward implments for moving the veggie around. One of the disadvantages with the frypan or big steamer method was that cooking asparagus took over the stove. This pot consumes very little real estate. My ownership of this pot will probably put green asparagus back on the menu! This isn't the sort of item that one _must_ have. But I'm really glad I own it.

good, but flawed,
By bscepter "bscepter" (Omaha, NE) - See all my reviews
This review is from: All-Clad Stainless Asparagus Pot with Steamer Basket (Kitchen)
cooking asparagus upright in a narrow, tall pot is ideal. it allows the tougher bottom portion of the asparagus to boil in water, while the rest of it steams. (my mother used to use an old small coffee tin with the bottom cut out for this purpose). as with the other all-clad pots i own, this one seems to be very well-made, though it has an aluminum disc at the bottom and is not made using their three-ply construction with the aluminum sandwich going all the way up the sides. this is probably unnecessary and helps keep the price down.
however i do have one big problem with this steamer: the basket. the steel rings that encircle the basket are placed too far apart, which is especially a problem at the bottom because the asparagus stalks tend to slide out between the rings. this makes the steamer quite difficult to "load." more rings, closer together would greatly help - or, better yet, a basket of strong mesh (like that found in their 12- quart multipot) would be much better for this very useful item. these days, my asparagus steamer is used mainly as a countertop repository for my long-handled cooking implements, a job at which it excels. we eat a lot of asparagus, but we prefer to roast it in a pan (10 minutes at 350º with a sprinkle of olive oil, pepper and grated parmesan) or grill it. but, when we need to steam asparagus, the all-clad steamer comes in very handy.
