All Clad Stainless-Steel 6-Quart French Braiser with Rack

Lucky me!
I bought this braiser from a website that sells All-Clad irregulars, not Amazon. The same day I found bad reviews on Amazon saying - This braiser is made in China, its not 3-ply and inferior quality. I was very stressed, that I spent my money on a pot, that is not as versatile as I need it to be and not the quality I expected. I was planning to use it for frying, sauteing, baking, casseroles and braising, even soup if i wanted. Well, when the pot arrived, first I checked the box, it said - COOKWARE MADE IN THE USA. LID AND RACK MADE IN CHINA. There also was a sticker NO RACK, I guess they do not come with irregulars, I didn't care for it anyway. After I opened the box I found a perfect pot, as you would expect from All-Clad. It was 3-Ply, aluminum goes up the sides. It was very well made, I compared it to my first quality 6 QT. All-Clad casserole, they are equal in weight, workmanship and quality. The only flaw I could find on the "irregular" braiser was a discoloration a size of a...

Awesome!!
I purchased this pan and have just started using today! The size is great, I see lots of family meals being cooked in it. It is the wonderful All-Clad quality we have come to expect.
The Pan is made in the USA and the rack and lid are made in China.
All-Clad cleans up nicely and of course it looks beautiful.
If you cook for large groups or a big family this is a must.
The cost is high, but you wont be sorry!!

this is my favourite pan
This is absolutely my favourite pan and I've used it nearly every day since I got it about 3 weeks ago. It's my first experience of All-Clad. It replaces a Tefal Jamie Oliver Professional non-stick 12" saute pan which had a very similar shape to the All-Clad braiser but in less than a year the non-stick started to peel off so that was hopeless - what a waste, great functionality, useless execution. The All-Clad is a superb replacement and I don't imagine it will ever wear out so the daily cost of ownership is small. It is great on the induction hob and with the handles either side it goes in the oven easily as well. The domed lid makes a nice refluxing condenser on the hob, like a tagine. The cooking technique is a bit different but the information on All-Clad's website explains all. I have not yet found a use for the wire rack but I'm sure I shall in time.
