Editorial Reviews:
Product Description Designed for cooking meat or vegetables in a small amount of oil or butter while continuously tossing, stirring, or shaking. The lid lets you finish a dish under cover without changing pans, and the stay-cool stick handle and helper handle make it easy to lift.
The 6-quart pan holds up to three ribeye steaks (six servings) for searing; slide pan into the oven to finish cooking, then return to the stove to make a quick au jus or duxelle sauce from drippings, wine (to deglaze), butter, and herbs.
The 4-quart pan has the classic design with flat bottom and straight sides, for sauteing, pan- frying, or with the lid for braising.
The 3-quart pan is a wonderful multi-use pan for family cooking - searing small cuts of meat, sauteing vegetables, or making a superb veal scaloppine.
The 2-quart pan is a terrific small pan for one or two servings, or for browning a handful of mushrooms or a chopped onion.
MC2 blends the best of the legendary Master Chef original cookware with a redesigned contemporary look for a roomy sauce pan that warms, simmers and boils to superb perfection. The brushed aluminum exterior with pure aluminum core ensures quick and even heating. The 18/10 stainless-steel interior will not react with your food, leaving the pure taste you desire. Not recommended for dishwasher use.
Amazon.com Review 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 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, 4-quart sauté pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's 10-1/2 inches in diameter and 3- 1/4 inches deep, perfect for sautéing chicken for a crowd or braising short ribs on the stovetop under its gleaming lid. 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 loop handle, the long handle (holed for hanging on hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
