All-Clad Stainless-Steel Fondue Pot with Ceramic Insert Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just bourght and used this set and absolutely LOVE it. We are regular fondue folks and this is, by far, the best set. Other sets we used were typically enamel and ended up with burnt spots in the middle and uneven heating.
Decided to go with All-Clad because I have a few of their other pans which work beautifully.
The set is all dishwasher/microwave safe which is a huge plus. The quality is superb -- even the forks. The pots are wider and much sturdier on the stand than other sets. But, the best part is the quick heat up time and even temperature. No more burnt cheese spots.
The ceramic insert is perfect for cheese or chocolate and makes the set extremely versatile.
I wish I had bought two when I had the chance. The only downside is the set costs more than most but the quality is well worth it.
The only other comment is that I wish makers would offer more forks with the sets and make it easier to identify forks. In other words, each guest should have 3 or 4 forks and all of the same color.

All Clad Porcelain Double Boiler Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not only do you get a useful 2-qt pan, but the porcelain insert can be used separately in the oven (not stove top)--although I'm not sure why you'd want to. The insert is thick and heavy and (most important) is smooth inside with no ridges; the support is a stainless steel band on the outside. The insert is big enough to accommodate most pudding/custard recipes. True, the insert is made in China for All-Clad, but the quality appears to be up to snuff.

This 2-Quart Stainless Sauce pan with lid fitted with a 1-1/2-Quart Porcelain Double Boiler insert delivers heat slowly and gently, preventing scorching and separating of delicate ingredients. Using a double boiler with a ceramic insert is preferred when working with chocolate, cream based desserts and sauces. It is also ideal for reheating foods, the insert providing a cushion against high heat that might change the consistency or flavor of the food being reheated.

All-Clad Stainless 4-Quart Saute Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I own the 3-Quart version of this pan, purchased in a set before I knew better, and have used this 4-Quart. I prefer this one because its taller sides make doing a true sauté (which means "jump" in French) of the ingredients a bit easier. Taller sides like this are what are found in most European sauté pans. The previous review is inaccurate in that both the 3-Quart and 4-Quart All-Clad pans are identical in diameter, which can be verified at All-Clad's web site.
Per All-Clad, the LTD and Master Chef lines use thicker aluminum so if you don't need the ease of maintenence and durability that comes with a stainless-steel exterior, I would suggest you consider these other lines for their more even (i.e. better) heating performance.
Also, there are higher-end cookware lines out there than All-Clad. Don't think that All-Clad is the "best" available. Brands such as Demeyere and Bourgeat have features such as more durable exterior finishes (Demeyere Atlantis, etc.), thicker aluminum cores, more comfortable handles (an All-Clad weakness), and even full copper (more conductive than aluminum). These come at a higher price than All-Clad. On the other hand, there are less-expensive product lines such as Calphalon Commercial (often cheap on Amazon.com!) and brands used in commercial kitchens like Sitram.
Still, this is a nice pan and I don't think you can really go wrong with All-Clad. It's the best commonly available at consumer kitchen shops and easy to order on Amazon.com.

All-Clad Stainless Steel Electric Induction Burner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received the All-Clad induction burner from Williams-Sonoma.com a few days ago. I was delighted to finally experience the induction cooking. The unit is very attractive in design and finish. It is substantial but it is easy to move around. It has a well lit display, actual buttons to push and a dial to turn to select menus, manual modes and set the timer. The variety of controls is excellent. There are three choices! One is preset. You select a cooking program by pushing the "MENU" button from Melt to Sear, the total of 7 (seven) choices. There are two manual modes. One is description mode from EX LOW to HIGH (6 settings). The second manual mode gives a range from 1 to 10.
I used manual mode 1 in EX LOW to cook rice in a 2.5-qt LeCreuset pot. First, I boiled liquid (chicken broth) using "MENU" option "BOIL", and then I switched to EX-LOW using the manual mode. The switch to manual mode was instant. There was nothing to turn off, just to press on the "MODE" button. On EX LOW, the liquid boiled just barely but continuously. There was no ON-OFF cycling. Tiny bubbles from the entire bottom surface of the pot were reaching the surface without breaking at the surface. I added rice and set the timer. After 20 min the unit shut itself off. The rice cooked evenly from the bottom to the top.
I also seared sardines (outside on the deck) in a non-stick Circulon skillet with perfect results. The skillet was 11" in diameter and the sardines cooked uniformly over the entire surface of the skillet. There was no hot spot in the center.
I also used 12" All-Clad Copper-core skillet to cook 2 large red onions and 2 red bell peppers. The vegetables got cooked much faster and browned nicely. I just had to keep turning them over. From my previous experience cooking these many onions and peppers at once in the same skillet on a Gaggenau electric cooktop in the kitchen resulted in a soggy onion-pepper mixture. I think that induction and little air movement outside helped to keep the moisture level low. That is how the onions and peppers browned so well.
Of course, nothing is perfect. The induction burner is not silent. The noise is produced by a fan inside the unit. The noise was somewhat intrusive and annoying. The noise was not mentioned in the description of this appliance. Even though I really enjoyed the cooking on All-Clad induction burner, the noise issue may become too irritating for me to keep using this appliance.
3 months later:
I've discovered that when I used high temp settings--fry or sear (MENU) and medium-high and high (MODE)--the red light inside the button (depending on selection) would start blinking and the unit would stop heating a skillet after about 10 min. I fried slices of eggplant for moussaka using LeCreuset 12" fry pan. The unit didn't shut off and error message didn't appear. However, there was no cooking for about 1 or 2 min. The heating would resume for 1-2 min and then it would stop. When I subsequently cooked the meat sauce on medium, the unit worked normally. I cooked outside in the shade.
I called All-Clad and found out that their personnel isn't educated about this appliance. After countless calls no one would tell me why the unit was doing it. I replaced the first unit with a new. The new unit does the same. I suspect that this is a design flaw. The high temp settings could only be used for very short periods. The unit worked long enough to sear steaks before placing them in the oven.

All-Clad Stainless 4-Quart Casserole Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pot is the perfect size for a standard soup recipe. I have the Dutch oven and the 6-qt stock pot as well, but I still wanted this pot. I have not been disappointed. I like the taller shape; it jut feels more like a soup pot to me (I understand this is completely subjective.)
All-Clad Stainless is my favorite line of cookware. The clad technology means even heat conduction and it works on induction cookware. An extra bonus for me is the easy clean up -- throw it in the dishwasher. Whne necesary, polish with a Bar Keeper's Friend and it will look like new forever.
If you are choosing between this and a Dutch oven, go with the Dutch oven because the shape is more versatile. This pot is not a must-have, but a great have if you make a lot of soup and are looking for an addition to your All-Clad set.

All-Clad Panini Pan with Press Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have nothing but praise for this pan. I have been using it 4-5 times per week since I purchased it.
The pan heats quickly and evenly and gives that perfect grilled crust to everything I have tried. It did take some practice to get the temperature and timing down - I heat the press on another burner at 9/10 and the pan at about a 4/10. That gives me the perfect browning to both sides while also allowing enough time for the sandwich to get hot throughout. All Clad gives some advice on timing and procedure, but I think my system works better. Be aware, the handle of the pan stays cool but the press handle can get hot.
The listing does not say, but the press is cast iron and quite heavy. Cleanup of the press and pan is easy. The non-stick of the pan works well and the cast iron cleans up easily (I always butter or oil what I am grilling, so ymmv).
I now get perfect sandwiches every time, and never have to worry about all the things that can go wrong with an electric panini press. I am sure this pan will give me many years of great service.

Crafted of hard anodized aluminum, this two-piece Panini press includes a thick, nonstick pan that provides fast, even heat distribution. The heavy-duty press features a generous loop handle for adding pressure on top, leaving food with tasty, blackened grill marks. Working much like an outdoor grill only faster, it not only gives sandwiches a delicious crunch and an even browning, but the cookware also nicely grills meats, veggies, and fish. Its polished stainless-steel handle is secured to the pan by stainless-steel rivets for strength, rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg when not in use. Both the lid's handle and the pan's long handle stay cool on the stovetop and won't be harmed by an oven's heat. The cookware should be washed by hand, which takes little effort due to its nonstick grill. The Panini pan measures 8-3/8 by 10-3/8 inches with the press measuring 8 by 10 inches. Both pieces covered by a limited lifetime warranty.

All-Clad's three-layer construction allows the pan to heat evenly all the way up the sides. Their Dutch ovens are wider than they are tall, to fit easily in the oven. Brown your meat and vegetables on the stovetop, add liquid to the pan and braise slowly in the oven for a flavorful, juicy stew.

All-Clad Stainless Petite Roti Pan with Roasting Rack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't really "review" this pan since I returned it unused, but I have the "same" All-Clad Petit Roti Pan from just a couple of years ago, and this one is now substantially different. My old one had a flat bottom, great for making gravy after you finished your roast. This new one has a ridge around the bottom, where the juices will drip off into these sides. Very difficult to make a gravy when that happens. This is just my opinion as a cook, I really can't comment otherwise on the product, but this change alone was enough for me to send the pan back.

All-Clad Stainless 6-Quart Saute Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love All Clad cookware & was in the market to add to my collection. Initially, I wanted to buy the 14" fry pan, a wonderful item. The store owner asked me how I would use the 14" fry pan & I told her I wanted to fry & saute in it. I also mentioned I'd try to use it to braise as well. Given the fact I needed a large pan to serve mulitple purposes, the owner recommended I consider purchasing this 6 qt. saute pan instead. The pan has a diameter as wide as the 14" fry pan, & can be used for frying, sauteing & braising. Additionally, the cover is included in the price of this 6 qt. saute pan, unlike the 14" fry pan, which doesn't come w/a cover. I'm aware of the differences between a fry vs saute vs braising pan, but not being a purist & also wanting to conserve on storage space & cost, I bought this 6 qt saute pan. The store owner was correct, I use this pan all the time & it works perfectly as a fry, saute or braise pan. Given it's an All Clad, it has 1st class performance for heating quickly & evenly, cooking perfectly & cleaning up in a flash. Not to mention its beauty & perfect constuction, along with a lifetime guarantee. Don't hesitate to buy this pan!!!

All-Clad Stainless 6-Quart Stockpot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

All-Clad Stainless 9-Piece Cookware Set with Nonstick Fry Pan Review

(More customer reviews)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.

All-Clad LTD Nonstick 12-Inch Round Griddle Pan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the best nonstrick griddle I have purchased. You only need to heat medium to medium-high to get the best result. I use a little oil to give flavor to the food I am cooking and everything slides right off! I use it to make a lot of chicken. The pleasant surprise is that I can now make eggs over easy on medium heat - sets nicely to be able to flip without breaking the egg and without overcooking it. This is the first pan I have ever been able to achieve this. Since it is such a nice size, I cook eggs and ham and other items all at the same time.
Unlike other nonstick pans I have purchased in the past, it has retained its' "nonstick".

Click Here to see more reviews about: All-Clad LTD Nonstick 12-Inch Round Griddle Pan

A useful addition to any busy kitchen, this 12-inch stovetop griddle pan features a smooth, round cooking surface that measures 12 inches in diameter (pan measures 20-4/5 by 12-1/5 by 4/5 inches overall), while its slightly raised peripheral edge keeps oil, batter, and other ingredients neatly contained. Use the griddle pan for anything from pancakes, hash browns, or omelets on a Saturday morning to grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch or dessert crepes to serve to guests after dinner.
Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish charcoal black hard anodized-aluminum exterior, the LTD line 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 the 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 striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. Certain pieces, such as the griddle pan, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel. The pan's nonstick surface allows for healthier cooking options--no need for excess butter or oil--and easier cleanup.
The polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is secured to the pan by stainless-steel rivets for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat (up to 500 degrees F). LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed.

All-Clad MC2 Nonstick Fry Pans Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The ongoing debate over cookware at my house is over: All-Clad is the best cookware overall and is worth the extra money. Our coppers tarnish and require retinning. Our encapsulated disk cookware (Reverere and Farberware) suffer from loose and broken plastic handles and too-small disks which limit the cooking area of the fry pans. The biggest debate was between Calphalon and All-Clad LTD nonstick models. My wife really liked the lighter weight of Calphalon's Commercial Nonstick line. After living for both for several years, All-Clad has shown its overall superiority in the following ways:
1) Durability. The non-stick finish All-Clad uses wears like iron. The Calphalon's finish shows many more scratches and blisters.
2) Denser anodized finish. The All-Clad LTD finish is much denser and more even that that on Calphalon. This makes it more attractive and easier to clean. On the MC2 stuff the finish is not anodized, but it is tightly frosted and well made. It's quite attractive too. I've started to accumulate MC2 stuff because it's cheaper and performs just as well. The LTD stuff does look better on a rack mixed with Calphalon. It's tough to beat black aesthetically.
3) Greater heat sensitivity. You actually cook with the stove set to a lower temperature with All-Clad. It appears to register changes more quickly. Both types of pan are good in this reguard - but the All-Clad is noticeably better.
As a fry pan, the All-Clad MC2 12" fry pan hits on all cylinders. It's big enough for a 4 egg omlette, or most of pound of bacon. It's battleship built, well balanced, even heating with great sensitivity. The handle stays cool and is angled so that you can lift the heavy contents without undue strain on your wrist. The nonstick finish is effective and tough as nails. The MC2 finish is durable and very attractive. Ultimately I'm more partial to the LTD finish because it matches well with other anodized aluminum cookware - and you can clean it very effectively with Ajax. The MC2 finish will yellow a bit over time. Real chefs just let it get brown. It looks like real cookware. In any case, exterior aesthetics don't relate to cooking performance.
Update on the MC2 finish: after using it for months and letting it get nice and brown I tried cleaning it with the 3M scrubby and Ajax/Comet cleanser I use with the LTD finish and it worked like a charm on the MC2. Just make a nice paste and power away the burnt on grease in moments leaving a nice buffy shine. Don't worry about scratches - the MC2 finish is a fine patina of minute scratches anyway! It looks great and is basically indestructible.

What's a kitchen without a fry pan? This humble piece of cookware is probably used more often than any other. So if that's the case, it only makes sense to invest in one that will stand up to frequent use. Eggs and bacon in the morning, a grilled cheese or sauteed veggies for lunch, burgers or chicken breasts for dinner, day in and day out All-Clad offers superior performance. The new MC2 cookware combines the industrial style of a brushed aluminum exterior with gleaming stainless steel stay cool handles. A non-stick interior speeds up cleaning and allows you to cook with minimal to no fat.

All Clad Stainless Steel 2-Quart Whistling Tea Kettle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First let me qualify this by saying I have a background in metalworking. The main reason I bought all-clad is because of the quality of their workmanship and materials. Unlike most other tea kettles I saw there is no bottom encircling seam. I haven't seen an insulated handle that I like.
I looked at the Demeyere tea kettle from Belgium, but balked because of the seam. Definitely my second choice though and I especially liked that it was a silverstone instead of a glossy finish. It also is dishwasher safe and can be used on induction stoves unlike the All Clad. I didn't see this kettle personally.
The other serious consideration was given to a $54 Oxo - no seam, wide lid that you could easily get into for cleaning, half the price. Didn't like the look of the insulated handle though. I didn't see this kettle personally unfortunately. Two Berghoff kettles in this category too.
The LeCreusets have no seam, but I wanted stainless steel. I saw these at a store.
The Alessi is made from sheet steel, has a seam, and while the insulation on the handle means no potholder required, I didn't like the look or the price. I've used this at a friend's house, and since their birds detach a few of them have flown the coop.
With no bottom seam, the All-Clad has no sharp corner to collect mineral deposits. The interior is anodized similar to the Primus camping kettle I've been using. No mineral deposits at all is what I expect. The whistle is plenty loud. It really jets steam out so I am careful to point it away from my cabinets and not into the aisle. The handle needs a potholder if the I fill it to the line, but not if I'm boiling just a quart which is all I do. I have a potholder hanging nearby and my sleeve works also, and its not realistic to expect an all-metal handle to stay cool to the touch in all circumstances.
The locking lid is nice, but it has a silicon band around it and I wondered how long that will last and if it will still whistle if it goes. As an experiment I removed it and it sounds the same to me but some steam does escape through the lid. It probably keeps water from leaking out the lid if you tip the kettle too far. The spout has a baffle with nine 1/4" holes to prevent boil over and govern the pour rate too.
So, 5 stars because it is the quality I expected, the design performs as I expected, and my dog comes when it whistles. Its heirloom quality I think so my daughter will get it as long as I don't get hard of hearing and boil it dry someday.

All-Clad 99009 Stainless-Steel 6-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I work almost everyday (including Sundays) so this pot has been my life saver (or the dinner saver). My older one was 5qt. cool touch Rival. This All-Clad cooker cooks so much faster than my older one (the inside temperature of All-clad gets 230F in high setting). Ribs and 5 pound chicken done in 4 hours in high. If you want crispy chicken skin, let it cook for 6 hours. I highly recommend this product.
By the way I put small roasting rack when I roast chicken or ribs so that they don't stew in the dripping. Save the dripping broth. Put it in the fridge overnight, and get rid of the fat. And use it in your soup or stew, of course, this cooker can do that job just fine as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated Review: 4/17/2008
I've been using this slow cooker at least twice a week. Time to time I would hear "pop" sound either in the middle or toward the end of the cooking time. I couldn't figure out what was making this sound. One day my husband found cracks on the ceramic insert. They were fine cracks, but the cracks were in inside and outside. I contacted All-Clad. The service rep. told me to send a picture of the cracks. So I did. For several weeks I didn't hear anything from them. So I contacted them again. Apparently they didn't get my email with the pictures. So I sent them again. The next day I got a phone call from All-Clad that they would send me a new insert. It arrived a couple of days ago. I made a most wonderful chicken soup with leftover rottisserie chicken yesterday. I'm starting my love affair with this slow cooker again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Review: 11/9/2009
I wish I could say that my slow cooker insert is still going strong. Unfortunately it isn't. I really tried to use them (I have gone through 3 inserts) as much as I could - until I could see the leak. I thought of getting a metal insert. However, it costs $200 NOT including shipping and handling. So I got the most modest Rival Slow Cooker: a 7-qt. with a turn dial. I've had it for 7 months. So far no cracks. It boils water quicker than All-Clad even in the low setting, but still no cracks. I had talked to an All-Clad rep about a possible defect in the ceramic insert, but she didn't seem to believe that theory. I wish I could change the rating to 2-star. It could have been 1-star, but I liked All-Clad's customer services.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional Comment: FYI the 2nd insert cracked within 2 hours in the high setting and the 3rd insert cracked in the low setting. After that I began to think maybe the inserts were defective. I did not abuse them. I only used as directed: high or low and went through the dishwasher. I'm using my humble and simple Rival cooker in the same way, and so far no cracks. I thought of getting the metal insert for the All-Clad Slow Cooker, but it was too expensive: $200 for the insert, over $50 for the metal lid (required for the metal insert) and $70 shipping and handling. Besides the reviews were not good for their non-stick metal insert. I'm very happy with my humble Rival 7 qt. Slow Cooker.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update: 6/10/2010
My humble 7-qt Rival slow cooker is still going strong. I've been using it every week, and still no cracks so far. I have made roasts, soups, stews, and casseroles. I haven't made dessert yet. I've seen Sandra Lee "baking" dessert in her white slow cooker. I can't remember if it was Rival or not. But I'll try someday.

Chantal Stainless 1-4/5-Quart Classic Teakettle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)... start with a Chantal tea kettle. After having purchased tea kettles that didn't whistle consistently even when full (the OXO Good Grips Uplift for one), it is nice to finally have one that does. No longer do I have to worry about putting the kettle on and forgetting about it! The water is heated very quickly, and it has a nice sounding harmonica whistle that is just the right loudness. I have a gas stove and the handle did get hot. Another reviewer had a good idea about using a pot handle hotpad (the Woolworks wool one fits well), but the handle cools so quickly that I find that I usually don't even use it. This is the nicest looking tea kettle that I've seen. Even though it is 2.5 quarts it's not as big and clumsy as some of the others. One look at the bottom of this kettle, and you know that it is sturdy, sturdy, sturdy! Most definitely a high quality kettle.

All-Clad Stainless 4-Quart Saucepan with Loop Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)All clad pans are great, with one caveat. This line doesn't have a rolled lip so that pouring is more difficult than it should be. Of course with a 4qt pan that usually isn't an issue.
If you are strong enough to lift a 4qt pan by the long handle don't get this version, get the one without the lip. Why? Because the loop handle prevents both the steamer and the double boiler inserts from seating firmly. They work, but it isn't as good as the non loop version. Now admitly using a 4qt pan for steaming is overkill, but if the 3qt version is in use, or you didn't buy that one too, you will wish you had the non loop version.
These pans are heavy, (Although not as heavy as pure copper pans)and a gallon of fluid is too, so that if you are small the extra loop would be beneficial for moving the pot from stove to sink, so like everything its a tradeoff.

Preparing sauces, soups, and more has never been easier than with this sauce pan by All-Clad. Near perfect in design, the pan is constructed of three layers of metal; two stainless steel outer layers with an aluminum core. The stainless steel exterior combined with the aluminum core allows the pan to be used on all types of stovetops, including induction, and heats the pan evenly to eliminate hot spots. The included stainless steel lid holds in heat and steam to create succulent and juicy meals, and has an easy to grasp handle. The classically shaped, straight sides and design provides a beautiful presentation in the kitchen, and makes cooking straightforward while keeping foods cooking evenly. The handle is riveted to the wall of the pan, for extra durability, and the sleek design and appearance compliments all kitchen settings. When you're finished cooking, the pan can be hung through the handle's eyelet for convenient storage. To protect your hands from burning, and to provide additional leverage, a looped, easy to grasp handle is attached to the side of the pan.
