ReviewThe bestseller amid All-Clad’s famous cookware collections, the Stainless line provides severe and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad’s global reputation unsurpassed. Key to it is high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched amid layers of stainless steel lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly all over the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished 18/10 stainless steel, so it’s stick-resistant as well as stain- and corrosion-resistant.

This classic straight-sided 2-quart sauté pan makes clear why All-Clad’s Stainless is so popular. It’s 8 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches deep, perfective for sautéing veal scallops with chanterelles or garlic-scented greens. 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 heat. Although Stainless cookware is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. –Fred Brack

All Clad versus Calphalon One
By Carmen
I own both All Clad and Calphalon One. I know there are a lot of All Clad vs. Calphalon One discussions/debates. My personal experience is both are really good and you can’t go wrong with any one of them. I am not a professional cook – so it’s purely a point of view from a person who wants to learn more in cooking.

A few points:
1. Clean-up – I think Calphalon One is easier to clean, just soak it in hot sudsy water for 15-30 mins and the remains will fall off. Even I didn’t make a mess, I need to clean my All Clad with Bar Keeper’s Friend (BKF). I use BKF on my Calphalon One only when the mess is really bad.
2. Time to heat up – For some reason, my All Clad pan heats up quicker than my Calphalon One pan. But the time difference is very small.
3. Level of “stickiness” – To me, changing from non-stick to stainless steel and hard anodized aluminum is smooth and easy. As long as you follow instructions, sunny-side-up eggs do not stick on both brands. I have yet to try scrambled eggs (I think I shouldn’t try, but I am really curious)…
4. Handle – I read that some people have problems with All Clad handles. To me, no problem at all! Maybe I am used to holding the pan back-handed and the All Clad handle just fits nicely. Calphalon One handle is also great – haven’t heard any complaints at all.
5. Aesthetic issue – Since this line of All Clad is stainless steel (very shiny), it will show its normal wear and tear easier when compared to Calphalon One, which has a much darker color & non-shiny surface. Just look at your stainless steel kettle and you may get what I mean – It’s just very hard to avoid those normal wear and tear and it shows because the surface is shiny. I only use wooden utensils and no steel wool nor abrasive cleansers! Of course, those normal wear and tear will not affect the quality of the cookware.

Conclusion: You can’t go wrong with any one of them. The price difference, in general, is very small between the 2 lines. Personally, I prefer Calphalon One since it’s much easier to clean and it doesn’t show normal wear and tear easily (relative to All Clad stainless steel). And I don’t mind waiting for just a little bit longer for the pan to heat up.

Hope this helps someone in making purchase decisions!

Added on June 15, 2009: After 3 years, I sold all my Calphalon One and got everything in All Clad, particularly the LTD line. The LTD line has a dark finish, so it doesn’t really show normal wear and tear easily.

In fact, both pans are of quality, however, my Calphalon One for some reason got some stains that I am unable to remove, even with Bar Keepers’ Friend. Also, Williams Sonoma discontinued selling Calphalon One – Nonstick version this April and the anodized version with the steel cover about 1-2 years ago.

Part of a Set
By NuJoi
This pan was part of a larger set. Although I mostly cook for one, I find this pan small for a saute. I would have rather had a 3-quart pan.

With that said, I still have to praise the All-Clad quality. The pan heats evenly and quickly. Clean up is easy because I can put it into the dishwasher.

Great Pots & Pans
By KC10Engineer
This is a great pan. The size is great when cooking for two. I use it to make sauces and gravies, cook vegetables and to saute when I don’t need to use a larger pan. I highly recommend All-Clad for all your cooking needs. The prices are higher than others, but well worth the investment. If you love to cook, you’ll love All-Clad.
