Cookware Reviews

Few items in our kitchen are as often used or as appreciated as this couldn't-do-without sauteuse pan. Its classic style, of course, is timeless and blends well with other accessories.

We were aware of All-Clad's enviable reputation for high quality cookware but were nonetheless surprised by the flexibility of use and wearability of this item.

At one time while cooking chicken parts the skins stuck to the bottom of the pan (My fault - I turned the heat too high). What would have been a chore to clean in any other utensil was a breeze in this pan.

There is a tradition in our family of serving a wine/beef stew at most family reunions. The recipe has been passed from one generation to the next with the caution to always prepare the dish in a cast iron pan. Imagine everyone's delight and surprise when we prepared this dish in our sauteuse and they declared that it had never tasted better.

The size of this sauteuse offers room to prepare for a few or a crowd. We are extremely pleased with this purchase.

What can I say? It's an All-Clad product. Everything we've cooked in it from stuffed pork loin to simple chicken breasts has turned out perfectly. This pan heats evenly and fits nicely in the oven. It might be nice if it had a non-stick surface; however, I've never had any problem cleaning it. This sautuese costs more than similar products, but it will last a lifetime.

Great, solid pan. I use it almost everyday and couldn't be happier with it. Clean-up is a breeze with the non-stick interior. The handle truly does stay cool on the stovetop.

This is the first piece of cookware I received for a wedding present, and it's the one I turn to again and again. I can't praise this pan highly enough. The whole Master Chef line is fantastic.

This rack came with my brand new All Clad roasting pan. I was hesitent at first because the majority of the ones I see are rather poorly made and look like they will collapse while the turkey is cooking, not to mention a royal pain to clean up. This rack is so sturdy! It is one piece so you don't have to worry about it collapsing, also the non stick on it is truly wonderful, it cleaned right up in no time. I will now faithfully use this rack.

I love this rack. I use it in the stainless roti pan. It's great for your holiday turkey or roast. It keeps the meat out of the drippings and lets it cook on all sides. Clean up is quick and easy and makes life a little easier at holiday time.

One of my favorite pans that gets a lot of use. For cooking small amounts, read for one or two people with a bit of leftover this is a great pan. A little barkeeper's friend and this pan cleans nicely. Sautes chicken nicely even at lower heat settings. Deep enough to add a little stock to make a small amount of soup. If I had a large family I would opt for a larger size.

May and June are the most popular months for weddings and wedding showers, so I am always on the lookout for beautiful gift recommendations. This All-Clad 2-Quart Saute for Two gift set is great! Not only do you get a good price but also you get a wonderful stainless pan, stainless serving spoon, and a red quilted oven mitt. The two-handled design of the pan makes it perfect for cooking and serving all-in-one. I would use it for coq au vin, beef stroganoff, chicken paprikash, or any other favorite dish that has a sauce because the straight sides of this pan make a reduction so easy to do. Highly recommended buy!

Both the 6 and 8 quart stockpots are must haves for your All Clad cookware collection. The 6 is great for sauce, a pound of lasagna or rigatoni, soup or stew and the 8 quart is a must have for my favorite meatballs that I cook in my sauce with sausage and steak. At first I didn't think I would need both but now that I do I can imagine doing all the Italian cooking that I do with out them. I can get my sauce and meatballs cooking in the 8 quart and start boiling lasagna noodles in the 6 quart. I love them both.

These pans are made very well, heat evenly, are very easy to clean and are designed to last. All Clad cookware is one of the most expensive lines around and it is worth every penny, it really is lifetime cookware (backed by a lifetime warranty). This pan is a definite must have. Very, very highly recommended! A+++!...

Nothing tastes better on a blustery winter's day than a steaming bowl of homemade soup or stew. And, nothing is better to prepare it in than this All-Clad Stockpot.

It seems that a stockpot is one kitchen item that never wears out, so I'd been making do with what we had. But, when I was fortunate enough to be gifted with this stockpot from All-Clad I couldn't believe the difference!

It has a thick conductive base that spreads the heat evenly, not just where the burner might hit it. And, it has solid stainless steel walls that keep the heat in. The lid fits snugly, and it simmers away for hours emitting the most delicious aromas.

The brushed exterior gives it a great look, and it is made to conform to All-Clad's estimable high standards. Soup's on!

I have used All-Clad since the early 1980's and consider it the very best, and best for the money, too, as it lasts forever, the company will simply replace any that you complain about (the LTD black surface wore off some after 15 years, which is why I switched to the stainless steel outside and inside and some copper outside versions (Copper Chef, by All-Clad Co.) and they sent a new one!). I have boiled over milk on high and it never scorched! The bottom of the pan was not even tan, much less any burned milk! That was a first for any pan for me! The Olympic Cooking Team uses these pans, by the way. And they look good on a rack, too.

I am very pleased with my set of All-Clad stainless cookware. The construction is superior to any other set I have ever owned. One of the nice things about the cookware is how cool the handles stay after being on the burner for an extended period of time. I was really surprised by that. I figured that since the handles were stainless steel they would get really hot but that is not the case. I have also found that the cookware heats up much more evenly than my old cookware. That really does help to reduce cooking time. While it may seem a bit pricey, this set should last many years if taken care of. My Mom always told me to buy the best quality item that I could and it will save money in the long run. She was right.....as usual. :-) If you love to cook you will enjoy this set.

This wok-like pan is perfect for small to small-medium batches of stir fry; since I purchased it I find myself getting my large wok out less and less.
Like other All-Clad pans, it has even heat conduction, has non-stick qualities without the non-stick finish-- non-stick finishes seem to impede browning-- and is easy to clean. This pan is a workhorse in my kitchen!

I do a lot of stir frying, using one pan to do many dishes. As a result I needed a pan that had non-stick quality for quick and easy cleaning and one that could take high heat from my professional stovetop. When pan and oil are heated to the right temperature the interior 18/10 stainless steel surface behaved as if it were nonstick. The heat was evenly conducted bottom through the sides, this due to the aluminium core sandwich being continuous from the bottom up the sides. The sides are high enough to not have food spill out in the process of vigourous stir frying. The height is also good for small item deep frying. The steep sloping of the sides enabled food to rotate well, falling back easily into the pan. Quality pans tend to be heavy, All Clad without exception but this size is perfectly manageable for tossing ingredients if need to. It also cooks a generous portion for one to two persons. All types(including metal) of utensils can be used with it. This is a solid, handsome and versatile pan with wonderful easy care and use. It is a total joy to cook with and one that gives you confidence that it will last a long, long time.

In a small household, this has turned out to be the most-used pan. It is not only everything that everyone knows about All-Clad in terms of high quality and functionality, but it is astonishly beautiful as well.

It won't take a thousand words to say that this is truly the finest pan I own! If I had to choose just one pan from my kitchen, this would be it. It works for everything. I fry, bake, saute and serve from this one good-looking pan. Clean up is really, really easy. I have washed it in the dishwasher, but do prefer to hand clean. Itis certainly worthy of "hands-on" care. Beautiful, serviceable and a must for a caring cook.

I have spent thousands of dollar's, On Meyers cookware everthing from KitchenAid, Anolon, Prestige, Faberware, & Circulan, just to name a few. Though Meyers does manufacture very high quality pots & pans and I would recommend them to anyone it's just sad that if you have any problem with them, under warranty, you have to go throught the chain of command, that never gets you anywhere, even if you want to speak with upper management about the rudeness of the customer service department. Their customer service department employees are always very rude and snotty and they act like they are doing you a favor to even talk to you about their products. Don't get me wrong they do make good cookware, probably the best, but you as the consumer are at the mercy of their customer service and their descision or your fait on wheather your life time warranty is honored or not.

This is a heavy duty 14 inch wok, heavy gage stainless steel and it has a small flat 5 inch base to concentrate the heat from a 6 inch burner. The outside is polished to a mirror finish and the inside of the wok has a brushed finish. The inside of this wok is a rounded bottom wok with a small flat surface at the bottom. Around the edge of the wok, the edge is turned under to form a rounded lip; no sharp edges as is found on the cheaper carbon steel/hammered woks. Unlike stir fry pans where the sides of the pan are sloped or rounded which allows the food you just stir fried to slip back into the oil at the bottom, this wok has a shallower slope which allows the meat you just stir fried to be moved away from the oil at the bottom and the meat stays up on the sides and hot while you stir fry the vegetables and noodles at the bottom on the wok. When you are ready, you can recombine all the meat and the vegetables together in the wok; no more putting the meat in a bowl on the side to keep it from overcooking when using a stir fry pan. And no more rusty carbon steel woks which get sticky from the oil you use to season and store the wok. Been really easy to clean with soap and water. Extremely pleased with this wok and it's price.

I love this griddle; it has become my favorite piece of cookware. Durable, even-heating, and easy to clean, it has made me decide to purchase a complete set of Anolon cookware when my other stuff wears out.

If you ever thought you'd never need a griddle, wait till you take this one out for a test drive! Anolon's anodized alumimum cladding heats and cooks evenly, and on a ceramic top burner, it's the perfect pan for hotcakes and hamburgers. It fits 4 man-sized hamburgers readily and with its low edges (compared to skillets), flipping the burgers is a breeze. The Dupont Autograph lining, the best in non-stick lining, makes for effortless clean-up. The Anolon product quality is excellent. If you're looking to "upgrade" your cookware but can't quite stomach the prices of Calphalon, Anolon is the way to go.
