Be careful
By gfoots
We purchased this product so we could haul 4 bikes at the same time we are towing a popup camper. The tow vehicle is a 2008 Aspen SUV. In that situation there are some options but they are limited. We also wanted something we could use whether or not we are towing the camper, so a camper-mounted rack was out. The good news is that 4 bikes fit on the rack with very little problem - I rotated the handlebars on bike #1 90 degress to help the puzzle fit but that was the only modification. The bad news is, when we arrived at our destination there was some damage to the rear door of our vehicle, where the lower bar rests. That is a lot of weight, and apparently that part of the door could not handle it. There are a couple small dents, which are not exceedingly hideous but are noticable. I am considering adding some kind of buffer to that area, something that can absorb / distrubute the weight without incurring further damage to the door. Anybody have any suggestions?

Review of Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk Rack
By B. Kendrick
I purchased this in June 2008 to carry 4 mountain bikes, mainly for use on the back of my 4Runner while towing a tent trailer to some mountain camping areas. I went this route rather than purchasing a roof mounted bike rack on the car or trailer for a couple reasons. First, the roof mounted racks were too high for my wife to get the bikes on / off, and we wanted the versatility of using the racks with or without the trailer.The setup was very straightforward. Just unfolded the unit out of the box, and attached it to the rear of the car with the two top straps. Then adjusted to the correct height, and attached and adjusted the other straps. The unit is heavy, a good thing as it is also very strong and seems to easily deal with the weight of 4 bikes. We fit the 4 bikes with no issues, and used it to go camping a couple weeks ago. We went over 200 miles, sometimes over rough terrain and bumps, and the rack performed fine throughout.

Wow, great product!
By W. Surrey
When you consider all the steps to assemble it, it's actually very simple. I get easily frustrated with instructions, and these were pretty good.The product is solid. I use it on a 2001 Chrysler Town and Country and have no problems. Even though it says not to do so, I'm able to open my tailgate with it attached. I use it with 2 adult bikes, 1 kid's bike, and 1 bike trailer (the 1-wheel type that hook on the back of an adult bike).I looked hard for the right 4-bike mount rack, and I'm overjoyed with this one. Now if I can just move from LA to a safer place before someone steals my bikes from my rack while we're in In-n-Out...

All Clad versus Calphalon One
By Carmen
I own both All Clad and Calphalon One. I know there are a lot of All Clad vs. Calphalon One discussions/debates. My personal experience is both are really good and you can't go wrong with any one of them. I am not a professional cook - so it's purely a point of view from a person who wants to learn more in cooking.A few points:1. Clean-up - I think Calphalon One is easier to clean, just soak it in hot sudsy water for 15-30 mins and the remains will fall off. Even I didn't make a mess, I need to clean my All Clad with Bar Keeper's Friend (BKF). I use BKF on my Calphalon One only when the mess is really bad.2. Time to heat up - For some reason, my All Clad pan heats up quicker than my Calphalon One pan. But the time difference is very small.3. Level of "stickiness" - To me, changing from non-stick to stainless steel and hard anodized aluminum is smooth and easy. As long as you follow instructions, sunny-side-up eggs do not stick on both brands. I have yet to try scrambled eggs (I think I shouldn't try, but I am really curious)...4. Handle - I read that some people have problems with All Clad handles. To me, no problem at all! Maybe I am used to holding the pan back-handed and the All Clad handle just fits nicely. Calphalon One handle is also great - haven't heard any complaints at all.5. Aesthetic issue - Since this line of All Clad is stainless steel (very shiny), it will show its normal wear and tear easier when compared to Calphalon One, which has a much darker color & non-shiny surface. Just look at your stainless steel kettle and you may get what I mean - It's just very hard to avoid those normal wear and tear and it shows because the surface is shiny. I only use wooden utensils and no steel wool nor abrasive cleansers! Of course, those normal wear and tear will not affect the quality of the cookware.Conclusion: You can't go wrong with any one of them. The price difference, in general, is very small between the 2 lines. Personally, I prefer Calphalon One since it's much easier to clean and it doesn't show normal wear and tear easily (relative to All Clad stainless steel). And I don't mind waiting for just a little bit longer for the pan to heat up.Hope this helps someone in making purchase decisions!Added on June 15, 2009: After 3 years, I sold all my Calphalon One and got everything in All Clad, particularly the LTD line. The LTD line has a dark finish, so it doesn't really show normal wear and tear easily.In fact, both pans are of quality, however, my Calphalon One for some reason got some stains that I am unable to remove, even with Bar Keepers' Friend. Also, Williams Sonoma discontinued selling Calphalon One - Nonstick version this April and the anodized version with the steel cover about 1-2 years ago.

Part of a Set
By NuJoi
This pan was part of a larger set. Although I mostly cook for one, I find this pan small for a saute. I would have rather had a 3-quart pan.With that said, I still have to praise the All-Clad quality. The pan heats evenly and quickly. Clean up is easy because I can put it into the dishwasher.

Best cookware
By Barbara Priestley
What can you say? All-Clad is the best cookware ever made. I am gradually getting a setting for my two adult children. I give one each Christmas. Expensive? Yes. But....you get what you pay for. Will last a lifetime and is guaranteed a lifetime. Vendor delivered very promptly. Will buy from them again if their price is the lowest.

All-Clad Petite Braiser Pan
By A Customer
It won't take a thousand words to say that this is truly the finest pan I own! If I had to choose just one pan from my kitchen, this would be it. It works for everything. I fry, bake, saute and serve from this one good-looking pan. Clean up is really, really easy. I have washed it in the dishwasher, but do prefer to hand clean. Itis certainly worthy of "hands-on" care. Beautiful, serviceable and a must for a caring cook.

Perfect Dinner
By NuJoi
I used this for the first time this week. I wanted something rustic, so I decided to braise turkey thighs with some root vegetables. Preparing the dinner was almost as good as the finished product.Because of All-Clad's technology, I didn't have to turn the range above medium to sear. There was ample space for browing both turkey parts. Adding color to the veggies was a quick process. Deglazing was very easy because the bottom was so roomy.From the oven came evenly done, tender and juicy turkey thighs. Clean up was easy. Wiped it out and put it in the dishwasher. Didn't even need to use any polish.My next task for this pan is a frittata.

A Smaller, Useful Pan
By S. A. Johnson
After getting the 10-inch version of this pan, I found a great deal on the 8-inch pan and picked it up for smaller jobs in the kitchen. This was a great decision.8 inches *is* small for a lot of cooking and this shouldn't be your primary fry pan but it is great for doing smaller jobs on the side or for cooking up things for one or two people. I use this guy for eggs, meat and more. The pan heats really evenly and feels great in my hand. The handle does a great job of dispersing heat and staying cool, too. And, though it doesn't come with a lid, the medium lid from the All Clad pots fit it well.When things do stick, I don't worry about attacking it and scratching off the surface. I can use a scraper, sponge, or scouring pad without any problems. Metal can be used but it is more likely to scratch. And it is safe in the dishwasher although I recommend handwashing as much as possible.Some cooking tips I learned with this type of pan: Use a lower heat, not because you have to (like with non-stick), but because it heats so evenly, you often don't need that higher temperature. Also when you throw something in, whether you are using butter, oil, a spray, or nothing, let it sit and cook a bit before you try to move it around. Hamburger, for example, will adhere to the pan at first and if you try stirring it up right away, small pieces will be stuck and are more likely to burn. Rather, wait until it has a minute or two to cook on that side. The parts that adhere will cook, separate and lift away from the pan so you can stir it easier. And when you are done, if there is any food stuck to the pan, put some water in it and let it boil for a few minutes. This will help lift it off and make cleaning easier.Again, a great pan, a great brand, and definitely worth the money since it will last you a lifetime with the warranty they give you.

All-Clad Stainless 8" Fry Pan
By Daniel Anderson
This small frypan is my main item. I cook for myself only (usually) and if anyone out there wants to try out the All-Clad line of cookware, this is the one to start with. Once you do, you, as I, will want to expand your collection of this superior product. You can get messy with it; you can make a mistake & have the heat too high, you can even leave it in the sink uncleaned for a day or two.....it will still clean up easily and look brand new. As stated in the ads, the handles really do stay cool; that's a nice change of pace! Not to mention the fact that the company is still in business; the lifetime guarantee really means something! Did I forget to say that this cookware is simply "beautiful?"

All-Clad Fry Pan--Great Buy
By Michela
For most home chefs, All-Clad is the superior line of cookware. All-Clad stainless steel fry pans are excellent because they conduct heat so well. This 8-Inch pan is a good try-me size. I use it when cooking for myself or for making a 2-3 egg omelette.

• Beautiful, versatile 1-quart pan with rounded sides
• Stainless-steel interior and exterior with elegant copper stripe

• Long, comfortable, stay-cool handle riveted for strength

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

• Beautiful, versatile 1-quart pan with rounded sides

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.

Other All-Clad lids DO NOT fit
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.

Maybe the best cooks tools ever UPDATE
By Kar Dell
I can find nothing to take to task on the All-Clad tools. I have nearly all the tools they make and I like them all. They are easy to clean, no nooks for stuff to get stuck. They fit well in the hand and have a substantial, but not heavy, feel to them. Their shape is very good for the task at hand. The sole negative is their price but when balanced against the good, including the fact that they should last longer than the cook, they are a bargain at the price.UPDATE!! WE have had these tools more than 12 years now. They STILL look like new. Daily use and no signs of wear beyond a few scratches. These are the BEST!

What an awesome set of tools
By Seano
How many times have you reached for your favorite tool and found it was in the dishwasher or sink, waiting to be scrubbed clean? How many spoons have you purchased and tossed away?

Stylish and easy to clean, these heavy-duty tools are great. I was pleased to see that their handles mimick the handles to my all clad pots. The container is also large enough to accomodate more tools (start shopping).

Quick re-use eliminates the turnaround time with other tools. I think these will last longer since there is no wood to split, no screws to snap, and no plastic to get stained and funky.

Nice gift, since it arrives in a large, colorful cylinder package. Another hit!

Quality tools, anemic canister
By Sheri Richardson
Restaurant-supply quality tools (overlooking that restaurant suppliers' tools often aren't twenty bucks a pop or quite as heavy). Their weight and the size of the spoons may take some getting-used-to, but as others have stated once you do anything of lesser quality just won't do.

Each tool's handle is pierced for hanging, plenty long enough for stockpots, and stay cool. The turner is ridged with a beveled edge; unsuitable for serving up pie, but great for flipping burgers or scraping loose the fond when deglazing. The canister, by comparison, is too light-weight and tips if balance isn't maintained, unlike the Le Creuset canister, which easily handles the weight of these five tools however they're plunked in.
