All-Clad Saute Pans can be used for frying, browning and sauteing. They have a large flat base and short, straight sides. They are excellent for making sauces, so you can brown items in the pan then deglaze and make the sauce in the same pan.
All-Clad Master Chef 2 (MC2) is frequently used in commercial kitchens and is great value for the domestic kitchen too.
All-Clad MC2 cookware has a brushed aluminum alloy exterior. The inner core of the MC2 Series is pure aluminum, not just at the bottom, but all the way up the sides. The aluminum exterior combined with the aluminum core results in rapid heating. The interior is non-reactive, handpolished 18/10 stainless steel that cleans easily. All three layers are bonded together for optimum heat conductivity.
All-Clad MC2 pans come with stainless steel handles and polished stainless steel lids. To maintain its appearance, it is best not to put MC2 pans in the dishwasher.
All-Clad is renowned for using American-made metals to make handcrafted bonded cookware in the tradition that established a new benchmark for professional bonded cookware. At each stage of the manufacturing process, every piece of All-Clad bonded cookware is hand-inspected to ensure that it maintains All-Clad quality standards. This extreme scrutiny slows the production process, but guarantees that every piece of bonded cookware that leaves the Pennsylvania rolling mill preserves the reputation that precedes it.
Every detail receives critical attention. The signature stay-cool handle is cast from solid stainless steel, and is ergonomically-designed for comfort during long cooking sessions. Rivets are formed from high-yield-strength stainless steel, and treated to remove trace elements of iron that could otherwise cause corrosion. These painstaking efforts result in a finished bonded cookware product that maintains the same integrity it was created with, even after a lifetime of service.
