Overview
A home cook who makes stock, soup or stew in quantity gets an All-Clad bonded stainless pot with a lid. An aluminum core pressed between stainless layers runs all the way around the surface, and the tall sides limit evaporation.
Heat moves evenly through the bonded walls, so you can sweat aromatics on the flat base and then add liquid without changing pans. On the down side, the box holds only the pot and lid, with no strainer or steamer insert.
Who it's for
Cooks simmering broth, soup or stew for several people will use the deep shape most. Those who mainly boil pasta and want a draining insert should look for a set that includes one.
Pros and cons
- Even heat from bonded aluminum core
- Tall sides limit evaporation
- Flat base lets you saute first
- Care instructions not listed
- No strainer or steamer insert
- Uncoated stainless interior, no nonstick
Performance notes
Heat spreads from the aluminum core through the stainless layers on the base and walls, which limits hot spots when you saute at the start. The tall sides cut evaporation, so thin stocks hold their volume and light consistency over a long simmer.
