| The second generation of All-Clad's Master Chef line (MC2), this cookware combines brushed aluminum with stainless-steel accents for a contemporary look. Like All-Clad's other renowned cookware collections, Master Chef provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Handles, rivets, and tight-fitting lids are all gleaming stainless steel. This beautiful round braising pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's 10 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep and has a domed lid that makes it perfect for braising on the stovetop or in the oven. Without the lid, it's equally perfect for baking cherry cobbler, roasting quail, or browning cheese sauce on asparagus and then serving it at the table. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handles are riveted to the pan for strength and stay cool on the stovetop, but they won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack |
