All-Clad 1-qt. Stainless Saucier Pan without Lid  Product Reviews

"I bought just one small All Clad pot to see if I'd like it since they're a pretty big investment. I had a hard time believeing that food wouldn't stick to the surface since it isn't nonstick. I absolutely love the pot and it's soooo easy to clean up, almost easier than my nonstick utensils, I haven't used it for frying or anything though. It just feels really good to have one really great pot and I'm going to buy more when I can. I love the pot and would highly recommend it."

"This is a nice saucier for very small jobs but BE WARNED- you have to keep an eye on this pan when using it on gas stoves since the handle is so much heavier than the body. The base of the pan is smaller than the top (since that is the basic shape of the saucier pan) so the surface area is just not sturdy on the stove grates. I have tipped it and spilled out the contents MANY times while using it. If you have to reach for an item and don't hold the handle or balance it just right on your burner, it goes over VERY easily and makes a mess! Beautiful pan, but I don't use it too much because of that fact. Perhaps the larger volume 2 or 3 quart saucier would be a better, more useful buy."

"consider this plus the 7" open saute pan, currently on sale from Amazon at $49.99. In other words, you are getting an All-Clad fry pan for $5!!! Another example of Amazon's sometimes quirky pricing."

"I use this pan to reheat soup and make sauces for one. Sloped sides help evaporation. Even heating, heavy for it size. I love the fact I can put it in the dishwasher after I've made a sticky glaze. If you have to choose, go with the two quart, it's more practical (unless you're looking for a test piece.) Mine was a freebie."
