I purchased an All Clad Master Chef 2 Cookware Set online recently, partly because it will look good in my kitchen. As a man, it is hard to get your family and friends to respect the fact that you are a good cook. By purchasing a quality set of cookware, it gives them the impression that I am least serious about cooking. When I was looking at various cookware sets, I was determined to purchase something made Calphalon (All Clad is a Calphalon division). I compared sets made by Calphalon with sets made by popular chefs on the TV and found the All Clad Cookware Sets to be of comparable quality, but not as expensive.
I decided that the 7 piece All Clad Cookware Set was what I wanted, so I purchased it. An 8 inch fry pan, a 6 quart covered stock pot, a 1.5 quart covered sauce pan and a 3 quart covered sauce pan came with the cookware set. The triple ply bonded construction makes the pieces of this cookware set very durable. The outward appearance is great because of the brushed aluminum exterior and contemporary design. I have found the pans to have optimal heat conductivity because of the inner core made of pure aluminum both at the bottom and sides, and the interior is made of 18/10 stainless steel.
When I'm cooking, I really whimp out when I absentmindedly touch a hot handle. I don't have to worry about that with the All Clad Cookware Set. The stainless steel handles, which are attached to the pan by some noncorrosive rivets, are extremely cool to the touch. I don't loose any moisture from the cooking food because the sure fit stainless steel lids form a seal and keep the moisture in the food, along with the flavors.
I love the versatility of my All Clad Cookware Set. If I have leftovers, I am able to refrigerate them in the pan, and then insert the pan in a 500 degree or less oven to reheat. You see, the pans and lids are oven safe up to 500 degrees! I'm able to cook large or small dishes with this cookware set, and no matter the size, the food comes out great! I feel that this aspiring chef made the right cookware set choice.
I couldn't be happier with my All Clad Master Chef 2 Cookware Set. I think that I got what I paid for. The instructions have been very helpful in the transition from non stick to stainless steel, and have helped me understand how much heat and butter to use. I recommend the All Clad Master Chef 2 Cookware Set for those aspiring chefs who want a durable and quality cooking set that will last a long time.
