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 versatile 2-quart saucier pan 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, even though the pan is 2-3/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, tomato-based sauces and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. 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

I have owned this pan from the Stainless collection for about 5 years now - absolutely love it! Factors I like about it are:
- I can use any shape whisk in it because of the slope of the sides - even balloon whisks reach all the corners (of which there are none). This is what pursuaded me to buy this pan in the first place, and it has not disappointed!
- The food heats up quickly and evenly (I use it to make alot of either puddings or sauces).
- I have yet to burn anything in it so badly that it will discolor or permanently stain it.
I realize this may seem like an expensive pan...I am still trying to persuade myself that I want to spend this much money on other pots...but this pot has been worth every penny, and I am reminded of it every time I use it again. I have an 8-inch pan from the Master Chef collection, and it is also excellent - so I can highly recommend it!

For some reason, AllClad set the angle of the handle much shallower than on their other pots and pans--the angle is similar to a fry pan. When you lift the pan off the stove, the rim of the pan does not remain level. This is especially annoying if you are working with this pan alongside several pots. A minor detail perhaps. Otherwise, an excellent pan, great for cooking rice and reducing sauces.

The gently sloped sides of All Clad's 2-Quart Saucier exactly match the curve of All Clad's stainless balloon whisk (and many other balloon whisks for that matter). This gentle curve, combined with the very smooth tough stainless steel interior make this a great surface for frequent stirring. All Clad's incredible heat transmissive properties allow you to deftly adjust temperature - a must for delicate sauces, roux, and risotto. Of course this pan can be used as a general purpose sauce pan as well. The 2 quart size is just the right size too.
As for the MC2 finish - it's fine. It gets stained - but the soft matte surface is easily cleaned with a paste of cleanser (like Ajax or Comet) on a scrubby. Just rub the paste in a circular motion and power away the stains. You can use BarKeeper's Friend too - but plain cleanser works fine. I do this one every couple of months. All in all it's about the same to care for as anodized aluminum (and about as good as any other cookware except nonstick - but this is vastly more durable). Highly recommended.
