Here's another All-Clad product that has won my heart!!!  The heavy-gauge metal heats quickly and evenly and lends itself dependable in reliability and cooking, and THAT in itself simplifies timing -- no bonded core to spend precious time heating or to remain heated thereby over-cooking a perfectly prepared food!  Clean-up is a breeze.  The stainless steel is always shining beautifully with little effort to keep it looking that way.  This saucepan in a kitchen must-have!!!
