All-Clad Master Chef 2 6-Quart Stockpot

ALL-CLAD TURNED ME INTO A CHEF
I thought I couldn't cook -- until I started using All-Clad. I kept scorching the pudding and didn't realize it was my old, thin stainless steel pans with the copper bottoms that was the problem. (You know the ones I mean.)

All-clad pans are wonderful. They conduct heat well, clean easily, and are heavy enough to avoid scorching problems. I recommend them to everyone. I have an assortment from the 2 qt. copper saucier for delicate sauces to this useful aluminum exterior clad 6 qt. pot that I use for absolutely everything, from spaghetti sauces to chili to pot roasts.

This 6 quart beauty is the first piece of All-clad that I purchased over 10 years ago. It is also the pot I use most often and I have no trouble keeping the aluminum clad exterior clean enough to hang on the wall.

Furthermore, I know from first hand experience that the All-clad company stands behind their product and will replace them if there is a problem. The only exterior that I don't have much...
MC2 6QT
Just what I needed for batches of chili, soups and stews. I can brown the the meat and aromatic vegetables in the pan, and then add liquid, making these dishes truly one-dish. Browning is excellent, and if one keeps the stainless lining polished and heats up the pan thoroughly, the food releases easily. It also builds a nice fond, and unlike some of the newer non-sticks, you can deglaze this without damaging the pan. Finally, I had thought to buy a less expensive brand of stainless pan, but the MC2 was dead flat on my glass top stove, and lighter too.
I love this stockpot!
I was tired of our non-stick stockpots losing their coating. I decided to go big and purchase this pot after I had purchased an All-Clad tea kettle. I like pretty things, but want them to function and hold-up. This pot is used for soups mainly. I just put it into the fridge after each meal until the soup is gone. It cleans up well and if I need to, I will use the Bar Keeper's Friend. While you may not have to do that with a non-stick pan, you will be replacing it after while. I will NEVER have to replace this pan.
