I have an older 2-qt copper core All Clad saucepan that I have used for years and love it. I decided to replace a degraded nonstick lined 3-qt pan that was worn out. I have been bemoaning my lack of 3-qt saucepans—we are retired empty nesters and are cooking in smaller quantities. I naturally looked to All Clad to see if they had any 3-qt saucepans and happily they do! Two 5-clad stainless steel versions were available, and the copper core saucepan was a little cheaper, so I ordered two! I have already enjoyed cooking with them several times and can report that I am highly satisfied with my purchases. Well made in the US, nicely balanced. And they will work with the induction cooktop we plan to install when we remodel our kitchen.
