Customer Review: All-Clad Is All-Hype
Summary: 1 Stars
As an amateur chef with a great deal of experience with pans of this sort I was very disappointed when I received this pan. The handle is too short and it is of a design that makes using this pan a painful experience. The handle is just as short as is pictured so I only have myself to blame. Don't think that the picture is just skewed or its a perspective problem as I did. Its REALLY that short!
The construction of the pan is extremely poor. The metal is not polished, and the bottom is not smooth but has a subtle dimpling/mottling throughout. You can't feel it with your fingers but you can see it if you hold the pan to reflect the light from the side off the bottom. No other pan I have is of such poor workmanship. Based on the construction and comparing to Gourmet Standard, Calphalon, Kitchen Aid, Viking and Cuisinart pans I would say that it is $200 over-priced.
Back to the handle. The handle is only about 9 inches long. That may not mean much to most but to professionals and serious amateurs you know how serious a shortfall that is. The handle is too short for ANY pan! Also the handle is not solid but convex upwards with sharp edges. If you try to use this pan in the manner saute pans are designed for it will put a serious hurt on your hand. I have a ten inch frying pan with a longer and better handle. By the way, I am not small. I am a 250 pound 6' 4" man. If its hard for me, then imagine how it will be for you.
UPDATE: I have used the pan to cook a meal. The pan heats evenly and can take high heat. That's the good news. The bad news is that the pan has a hump in the middle. It is not flat! Also the lid does not fit tightly. There are discernible gaps between the lid and the pan. It rocks when on the pan (probably because the pan has a hump in the middle!). Someone else mentioned this for a smaller All-Clad pan and I wish I had paid attention! So two of the most important features of a saute pan are missing from this pan. A long handle and a tight fitting lid!
This thing is going back despite the high cost of shipping!!! This will be a 30 dollar lesson.
Description of All-Clad Master Chef 2 6-Quart Saute Pan
With a six quart saute pan you'll be able to cook food for a large group. The helper handle will enable you to transport the pan safely and easily and the lid allows you to keep moisture in while you cook. The new MC2 cookware combines the industrial style of a brushed aluminum exterior with gleaming stainless steel stay cool handles and lids. There are so many delicious meals you can cook with this pan you'll wonder which to choose first - chicken cacciatore, pork chops with fennel, angel hair pasta with shrimp, and the list goes on, and on.The second generation of All-Clad's Master Chef line (MC2), this cookware combines brushed aluminum with stainless-steel accents for a contemporary look. Like All-Clad's other renowned cookware collections, Master Chef provides serious and professional cooks with 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 brushed aluminum exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies 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. Handles, rivets, and tight-fitting lids are all gleaming stainless steel.
This classic straight-sided 6-quart sauté pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's an imposing 13-1/2 inches in diameter (and 2-3/4 inches deep), large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home where big meals are prepared. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. Like the pan's helper handle, the long handle (holed for hanging on a hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
