Product Description
What's a kitchen without a fry pan? This humble piece of cookware is probably used more often than any other. So if that's the case, it only makes sense to invest in one that will stand up to frequent use. Eggs and bacon in the morning, a grilled cheese or sautEed veggies for lunch, burgers or chicken breasts for dinner, day in and day out All-Clad offers superior performance. The new MC2 cookware combines the industrial style of a brushed aluminum exterior with gleaming stainless steel stay cool handles.

Amazon.com Review
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 brushed aluminum 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 classic slope-sided fry pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's 12 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep, large enough for a professional kitchen but fully functional in a home where big meals are prepared. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is secured to the pan by stainless-steel rivets for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but 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

All-Clad is the best overall February 9, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

The ongoing debate over cookware at my house is over: All-Clad is the best cookware overall and is worth the extra money. Our coppers tarnish and require retinning. Our encapsulated disk cookware (Reverer and Farberware) suffer from loose and broken plastic handles and too-small disks which limit the cooking area of the fry pans. The biggest debate was between Calphalon and All-Clad. My wife really liked the lighter weight of Calphalon's anodized aluminum stuff. After living for both for several years, All-Clad has shown its overall superiority in the following ways:
1) Denser anodized finish. The All-Clad LTD finish is much denser and more even that that on Calphalon. This makes it more attractive and easier to clean. On the MC2 stuff the finish is not anodized, but it is tightly frosted and well made. It's quite attractive too. I've started to accumulate MC2 stuff because it's cheaper and performs just as well. The LTD stuff does look better on a rack mixed with Calphalon. It's tough to beat black aesthetically.
2) Greater heat sensitivity. You actually cook with the stove set to a lower temperature with All-Clad. It appears to register changes more quickly. Both types of pan are good in this reguard - but the All-Clad is noticeably better.
3) Bend proof - aluminum is soft and thinner areas can bend. All-Clad's steel cladding makes it tough as a tank.
4) Immune to interior wear-out. Anodized finishes eventually wear out - which on the interior of a pan can be a disaster (this is especially so if you use steel wool). The stainless steel interior of this pan is NEVER going to wear out.

As a fry pan, the All-Clad MC2 12" fry pan hits on all cylinders. It's big enough for a 4 egg omlette, or most of pound of bacon. It's battleship built, well balanced, even heating with great sensitivity. The handle stays cool and is angled so that you can lift the heavy contents without undue strain on your wrist. The MC2 finish is durable and very attractive. You can clean it very effectively with Ajax. The MC2 finish will yellow a bit over time. Real chefs just let it get brown. After using it for months and letting it get nice and brown I tried cleaning it with the 3M scrubby and Ajax/Comet cleanser I use with the LTD finish and it worked like a charm on the MC2. Just make a nice paste and power away the burnt on grease in moments leaving a nice buffy shine. Don't worry about scratches - the MC2 finish is a fine patina of minute scratches anyway! It looks great and is basically indestructible.

Very good, not quite mind-blowing April 20, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I imagine I'd probably get better results if I wasn't condemned to life with a glass top electric range, but I found the conductivity of this pan to be not quite as stellar as I had hoped--there's a fairly sharp drop-off once you get near the sides.

But in every other regard, it's ridiculously well-made, performs well without hot spots and should last an amateur like me a lifetime. I still hate All-Clad's painful handle design, but I can live with it. A can of Barkeeper's Friend is an absolute must, as even soft plastic scouring pads will leave some noticeable scratches in the stainless steel finish.

And speaking of the finish, this is absolutely not a non-stick pan. I have no idea what the other reviewer who claimed that it was was thinking, but this is 100% Teflon free and the fact that food will stick to it slightly is a feature, not a bug. That's how good sauces are made.

Great Pan January 3, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I am sure that if you are looking at this pan, you know what to look for when shopping for one. This All Clad pan has been great! I could go on and on about it. I wish I would have received the Stainless Steel version because the aluminum discolors easily and it is hard to get it back to its original shine.

Overall, this is a great addition to any kitchen. A true workhorse.

still my favorite brand of cookware November 10, 2006
I bought the MC2 12" fry pan because I wanted a larger pan to hold more. I was a little nervous about it because it is a nonstick, but I also wanted to perfect pan searing salmon. This larger pan has been great...even heating and easy clean up. I haven't burned anything yet that made clean up tough, but like all the other All Clad pans it is very forgiving. It has been a great addition to my collection. I can also highly recommend the nonstick grill pan. That has become the pan most used in my kitchen. I never use my hard to clean JennAir grill parts anymore. And I don't even own an outdoor grill anymore...don't need one!

All-Clad is Always Excellent August 21, 2006
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have several pieces of All-Clad MC2, and the 12-inch fry pan is as excellent. All-Clad cookware is superb, and I particularly like the MC2 line because the brushed aluminum exterior is so easy to maintain. I don't have to worry about my cookware looking dingy or scuffed.
