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 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 6-quart stockpot illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. Though not classically tall and narrow, it simmers soups and stocks and accommodates enough ragu Bolognese to feed all the relatives. And it's ideal for braising on the stovetop or in the oven under its polished lid. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly, even though the pot is 4-1/4 inches deep (11 inches in diameter). And because the interior is nonreactive, tomatoes and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Its lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and 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

Amazon just kinda threw mine in the box with some wadded up paper in one corner, and needless to say the contents were not treated gently by FedEx. Despite the fact that the packaging was in shreds when I opened everything up, the pot itself showed no signs of damage--which is why you buy an All-Clad in the first place.

You can get a solid aluminum pot that performs about as well for less than 1/4 of the price of this one, but then you can't cook tomatoes in it, so the stainless steel ... Read More

All clad pots are wonderful. The shorter pans with thick-cored bottoms make excellent jam pots as they deliver very good heat distribution. Good heat distribution is necessary for cooking full-flavored jams, preserves, or butters. Without good heat distribution you run the risk of burn spots on the pan's surface. These burn spots may/will impart an unwanted flavor to your product. If you've ever tried to disguise burned jam-- you know it's a losing battle. While some cooks may consider All-Clad pots ...

The 12 quart stock pot is the big brother to the 6 quart Master Chef 2 stock pot I got a few months ago to replace both a 5 quart teflon lined pot and my 8 quart Le Creuset Dutch oven. The 6 quart stainless steel lined aluminum body fit the bill perfectly, so I had great hopes for its big brother. And, the 12 quart has come through with flying colors.

I started getting Master Chef 2 from all the different All-Clad lines because that seemed to be the standard of choice on the Food Network's ... Read More

I've owned All-Clad for a long time and have been pleased with the performance of my cookware. However, my purchase of the 16 quart stock pot was a big disappointment.When the pot arrived, the lid did not fit properly.It was slightly warped and had a dimple along the rim. When placed on the pot, the lid did not sit tightly all the way around and instead woppled like a table that has one leg slightly shorter than the rest. Although returning the item to Amazon was trouble free, they were not helpful ... Read More

I thought I couldn't cook -- until I started using All-Clad.I kept scorching the pudding and didn't realize it was my old, thin stainless steel pans with the copper bottoms that was the problem.(You know the ones I mean.)

All-clad pans are wonderful.They conduct heat well, clean easily, and are heavy enough to avoid scorching problems.I recommend them to everyone.I have an assortment from the 2 qt. copper saucier for delicate sauces to this useful aluminum exterior clad 6 qt. pot that ... Read More
