About - All-Clad Master Chef 2 700393
The Master Chef 2 700393 is part of the kitchen cookware test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, cookware models like the Master Chef 2 700393 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Set (pieces): Each set includes at least a saucepan, a frying pan, and a stockpot. Lids are typically counted as separate components in a set. Cooking evenness: Cooking evenness reflects the ability of frying pans to turn out evenly browned pancakes on a gas range. Nonstick durability: To assess nonstick durability, we intentionally abraded frying-pan surfaces with steel wool until the coating was worn through or up to 2,000 strokes. Scoring for finishes that were still intact at 2,000 strokes reflects reduced nonstick performance.

The Best Money Can Buy

By Loves to Cook, Loves to Eat from Cleveland, OH on 1/11/2010

Pros:

Distributes Heat Evenly, Durable, Easy To Clean, Heats Quickly, Lasts a Lifetime, Retains Heat

Cons:

Very Expensive

Best Uses:

Elaborate Meals, Large Kitchens, Serious Cooks, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens

Describe Yourself:

Avid Cook

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My wife and I bought a set of All-Clad cookware ten years ago, and have added pieces since then. It is by far and away the best cookware I've ever used. It heats quickly and evenly, holds the heat, and is easier to clean than any cookware I've ever owned. It's also very, very expensive. If I had it to do over, I'd buy only those pans that it's benefits outweigh the cost: frying pans, saute pans, griddles and the like. Pans used to cook pasta, heat up soup and the like probably aren't worth the cost.

The Best, Period.

How long have you owned it:

Emeril's are rated higher than the All-clad master, yet Emeril's are a "licensed brand" made by All-Clad. I had calphalon's and sold them all on CraigsList. Calphalon's are decent but purchased one All-Clad and loved it, then another and another. I'll own these forever, Bar keepers help gets them all bright and new! At least CR got knives correct. Global are great knives, tried them after Anthony Bourdain mentioned them in his book. Love them.

I have used so many other stainless steel pans and this one is in my home to stay. Have asked for another sauce pan for Christmas. I am so tired of going on CR to find very little info or bogus ratings.
