All-Clad MC2 (Master Chef 2) 7100-7

Date Published: 3/27/06

All-Clad's MC2 line is an updated version of its original Master-chef line. As with all of its products, All-Clad builds quality into the MC2, incorporating its standard three-ply bonded construction, which takes a core of pure aluminum and joins it in a permanent bonding process with a layer of stainless steel on one side and a brushed aluminum alloy on the other. The underlying aluminum provides efficient heat distribution, while the stainless-steel cooking surface prevents food reactions. The 7-piece set comes with 1-1/2- and 3-1/2-inch saucepans with lids, a 5-quart casserole with lid, a steamer insert, and a 7-inch fry pan. Recessed lids provide a snug fit to lock in moisture and heat and preserve flavors. Lids and handles are made from gleaming stainless steel with riveted fastenings. For best performance, a low to medium heat setting is recommended. All pieces are dishwasher safe; however, harsh detergents may darken the aluminum exterior.

All-Clad 3qt Copper Core Sauce Pan photo
Up until now All-Clad's excellent heat conductivity has been a result of an aluminum core. Another metal equally efficient when it comes to conducting heat is copper. All-Clad now has a complete line of copper core stainless steel cookware which uses bonded 5-ply construction to achieve culinary perfection. The copper core is exposed in an attractive band around each piece, adding warmth, color, and authenticity. Unlike pans with an abundance of exposed copper, these pieces clean easily and are lined with durable food-safe stainless steel. This large sauce pan will come in handy for making chili and soup, and for cooking grains and vegetables. The helper handle assists you in moving it around the stovetop, or from range to sink.
