Customer Reviews All-Clad Stainless Steel 3 Qt. Sauce Pan With Lid

Hey, I'm a cook, so style points aren't a priority for me. But, if form follows function, and the result is a perfect tool, then yes, we have style liftoff! By the way, these rating categories seem to be better suited to shoes or clothing. For cookware, there is a need for a "Functionality" category or similar quantified rating. Enough of that. At this moment, I am soaking some dried black beans in the pan. Usually, I would soak them in hot water off the heat; with the All-Clad pan, I can ratchet the heat down low enough to create a soaking medium for the beans. Usually this takes 20-30 minutes depending on how old the bean. When the beans have absorbed enough water, I simply turn up the heat and begin the cooking phase. During cooking, I don't have to check the beans too often; just bring them to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer. With this equipment, cooking is achieved at a low flame point on the gas stove, which means there is no need to stir the beans more than once or twice tops, to prevent sticking. Getting technical a little: due to way the metals are layered in the pan, there is, with All-Clad, the advantage of heat being distributed evenly, not only on the bottom, but up the sides of the pan as well. This increases the cooking area of the pan, and allows for extremely even heating. Whaddaya want already?

Excellent! Love the size which is perfect for heating small portions.

The 2 quart sauce pan was a gift to a friend. She has collected All Clad cookware for the past 25 years. The 2 quart size is one she didn't have until now. She loves it. This pan is the same high quality as the first pan she used 25 years ago. She is happy to have it in her kitchen.

2 quart sauce pan, smaller diameter for lesser amounts. When 3 or 4 quarts are just too big around.

Great size and all the quality you expect from All Clad

Sturdy, well-proportioned as to handle's length vs pot size. Very simple but elegant design. Beautiful finish on all parts (top, sides, bottom). Love it.

This sauce pan is perfect for 2 people. I use this pan to cook soup or stew everyday.

great pan. All Clad is always great quality. Arrived on time no issues

Got exactly as pictured. Prompt to ship and no problems with delivery. Website has adequate information on care of product. Really like All Clad.

Love the pan! We have a number of All-Clad pans and enjoy them all.

Very versatile size and shape; the highest quality materials available.

I bought this pan because a small saucepan was not included in the 10 piece set I purchased. It is perfect for heating smaller amounts for a 2 person family. The D3 cookware heats beautifully on my induction stove. I highly recommend it.

I'm very happy with my 2 qt saucepan. We are a two person household so it has been perfect for rice, soups, sauces. Used almost everyday.

My favorite pot. Ideal for many tasks. The lid is interchangeable with the 1qt and 2qt.

Good set of pans. I purchased the big set,then added the pans the set didn't include.

Great cookware we have wanted All Clad for years!!

My wife loves this pan. She has several other pans frying pans and stock pot. This pan is a great size for many things.

Good quality

The picture on line was really nice. Too bad they charged my credit card and then didn't process the order. I received nothing to review.

Not the average 2qt. It's very tall with a small base. We're returning it.

This pot doesn't match the four and three quart pan. It's tall and narrow. The other two are wide and short. Why? The lid or pan is oblong so the lid only lays flat at the right spot. I called support, they sent a new lid and it is the same. Otherwise it's a solid little pot. Just wish it matched and the lid sealed better.

Way too heavy, handle is too long and uncomfortable. returned it, waiting for my refund but your company is giving me a problem with that.

Great pot. I have several All-Clad pots and pans and griddles. Lasted many years, BUT the 4-quart D3 is now separating layers at the top edge: The Middle layer has shrunk down causing a trough or groove, with very sharp edges for the inner and outer layers and danger of severe injury. All-Clad needs to replace it under lifetime warranty.
