1. 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.




2. 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.

1. This pan is truly awesome. It heats up very quickly and completely evenly - absolutely no hot spots. It retains heat excellently - you only need to use low to medium heat. And cleanup is so easy. The stainless steel surface is like no other - it is almost impossible to get something to stick, and once it is clean it is as shiny as the day you brought it home.

   The shape of this pan is extremely versatile. Saying it is "wok-like" does it no justice. This is the pan I reach for most of the time. It is great for risotto, sautes, egg dishes, paella - you name it.

   Yes, it is pricy, but this pan (and any All-Clad LTD pan) will serve you for a lifetime. And on the question of anodized vs. copper - I see no reason to spend even more on copper unless you are an avid saucier. This line heats and cooks very comparably to copper.

1. All-Clad is the best cookware for the price! The Windsor pan is a little known tool that can save the serious cook a huge amount of time in the kitchen. Reducing stocks, sauces, jelly juice, etc is greatly enhanced by the use of a Windsor pan. The narrow bottom concentrates the heat for faster boiling and the wide top allows liquid to rapidly evaporate. I've been wanting one for years! Finally, Xmas comes to our house!

1. I was given an Amazon gift certificate for Christmas, and I used part of it to add to my All-Clad LTD pan collection. I love the All-Clad pans. They are as solid as the Le Cruset pans which I considered buying--they are awfully pretty--but the All-Clad pans are not as heavy. The All-Clad finish is rugged and unlike the enamel-surface pots not given to chipping. I also like the tight-fitting lids which have enough heft that when I replace them during cooking I can feel them settle into the top of the pot, but they are not so heavy they are hard to lift.

   The interior surface of my LTD pans is similar to that of my old Revere Wear pans, i.e. food will stick if you don't cook it properly (it is not teflon), however the LTD pans are composed of materials that evenly distribute heat as do my old Revere Wear pans with their copper bottoms. Also, like the Revear Wear pans, the All-Clad pans do not leave a metallic flavor in the food. You might ask why I bought the new All-Clad pans when I still have wear left in my Revear Wear pans, and the answer is that the Revear Wear pans were purchased when I had a very large family. They are big pans. I wanted some cute little pans for preparing meals for two people.

   I am not motivated enough to grasp the subtleties of haute cuisine and there may be "better" pots on the market, but not for me. I have been cooking for over 50 years, and when I cook, I have high standards for the dishes I prepare. I waited a long while to replace my Revear Wear pans. After I purchased my first All-Clad pan, I became convinced I wanted to buy more of them because they are very "user friendly."

   The four-quart pan is large enough to make a nice vegetable soup for two and plenty left over for freezing. Or you can boil up the potatos while you cook the green beans in the 2-quart pot. They look really pretty sitting on top of my new yellow stove.

1. I can't recommend All Clad pans enough. They are fantastic. Excellent quality and a joy to use.



2. I've had All Clad LTD pans for a number of years now. I usually cook several times a day almost everyday & although these pans cook beautifully and the interior looks beautiful & cleans up easily, the anodized exterior looks terrible now. I wouldn't mind so much but I have them hanging on decorative pot rack. For that reason I want to replace them with the less expensive version in stainless steel but the financial loss is killing me. I don't have room in my small kitchen to put them away. We've had a stainless steel All-Clad sauce pan for a few years which still looks great and isn't embarrassing hanging from our rack. If you don't mind so much what your pots look like then these would probably be a great choice. If anyone knows any great secrets to keeping these looking great, please post them in the discussion area. I've contacted All-Clad several times and do exactly as they say without achieving any desired results.
