Product Description
All-Clad Copper Core 1qt Saucier Pan
This beautiful, versatile 1-quart saucier pan has rounded sides, which increase the amount of food it can hold relative to the diameter of its bottom. Because the copper core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly in the pan, even though it's 2-1/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, acidic sauces won't taste metallic. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan 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 heat. Hand washing this pan will preserve its jewel-like beauty during its lifetime warranty against defects

Excellent pan; couple quirks
By orangekay
I'm not 100% convinced that the copper core is worth the premium price tag when the aluminum core Master Chef line performs about as admirably in terms of evenness of heating, but this one was in stock and the other one wasn't, so the choice was simple.It's a tiny little guy, but a solid performer. It came up to temperature quickly, and my infrared thermometer showed the sides staying within 5-10 degrees of the bottom at all times with no significant hot or cold spots anywhere. I elected to prepare a very simple dish--Farina with coconut milk and palm sugar--for its maiden voyage, and it cooked well without any scorching at all. I actually had a hard time telling when it was done because of the complete absence of bubbles--something I'm used to seeing with my old pan which has hot spots a'plenty.Some people have complained that All-Clad's 1-quart sauciers are off balance and easy to tip. While a bit of pressure on the end of the handle will indeed lift the front off the range by about an inch, you'd really have to knock it pretty hard to actually slosh anything out of it, and every other similarly sized pan I've ever tried exhibited identical behavior. It absolutely does not wobble around of its own accord and I wouldn't worry about it tipping any more than any other pan you might own.My only real gripe is the handle. I hate all of All-Clad's handles; they're not only uncomfortable, they actually hurt. Using a towel mitigates this somewhat, but the whole point of the stay-cool riveted handle is to eliminate the need for such measures. This one loses extra points because the rivets are simply too large for a pan this size. They jut out way too far and make both stirring and scraping down the sides a tedious, noisy affair. A minor annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.All in all, it's a great pan and it runs circles around the old Calphalon pile of junk it's replacing. It's also made in America and boasts a lifetime warranty, so if you ever manage to stir your way down through to that precious copper, you'll get a new one. Just make sure you realize there is NO LID for this model; gotta step up to the 2-Quart for that.P.S. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEEP FRY ANYTHING IN THIS PAN. I just had a late night falafel (yes, I know that falafel is not a sauce) preparing incident and while the pan performed as admirably as ever, the fact that the sides conduct so much heat means that all the oil splatter that would ordinarily just kinda sit there until you washed it off BAKES onto the surface. It's not ruined or anything, but man what a lot of scrubbing.

By WilliWu
They make it clear that this one does not come with a lid, but I would have never guessed that none of their other lids would fit. I have both the 6" stainless lid and the 6-1/2" copper core lid and neither fits. The 6-1/2" that comes with their small copper core saucepans comes closest, buth the shape of the lip (and 1/2" larger pan diameter) make it a precarious balance. Otherwise a very nice pan. I also find the copper core handle with the added bump on the bottom to be a lot more comfortable than their stainless handles.

A Small Sensation!
By girl from TN
I own several pieces from the Copper Core line, and bought this piece simply because I found an incredible price on it. I didn't expect to use it often, as I tend to reach for my small saucepans; I just thought this saucier was just too small for much of anything. But I have surprised myself with this one! I have melted chocolate, made small batches of glazes, a cooked vinaigrette, and always use it now for my reduction for blender bernaise. It comes in handy more than I expected, and the long handle is especially convenient (and not typical) on cookware of this size. It is quickly becoming a favorite piece. And like my other AC Copper Core, it heats beautifully and evenly on low to medium heat, and is a delight to cook with.Don't hesitate if you are wondering about the size - you will find many uses and love this little gem.
