All-Clad Master Chef 2 Nonstick 10-Inch Fry Pan
Excellent Pan. Satisfied With All Clad's Warranty, I bought this pan about a year ago and after 9 months of daily use the Teflon coating started to flake slightly. The pan was still very much non-stick, but I feared consuming even small quantities of Teflon, so I sent the pan (at my own expense) to All Clad's warranty department for inspection. It took a very long time for All Clad to send me a replacement pan (about 12 weeks), but I was very happy that they did in fact honor their warranty. I would be happier if the original pan was not defective, if I receive the replacement pan in a more timely fashion, and if I was reimbursed for shipping charges, but overall I am quite satisfied.
The pan cooks unbelievably well. It distributes heat evenly, has a superb non-stick quality, browns foods well, allows great flavors to develop, and cleans easily by hand.
This pan is Made in America of high quality materials and is backed by a great warranty - all of which are very important to me. I highly recommend this pan and as a result of my experience I will be purchasing more All Clad products in the very near future.
Poor warranty, I have had several non stick all clad pans. Over the years, I have returned them under warranty. It takes them 6-8 weeks to evaluate your pan for any returns. The most recent pan I returned as it was sticking terribly was in November. Four months later, I still do not have a replacement, and am getting no where with customer service. Be sure you get a confirmed delivery as well, they said they did not receive my pan at all until I provided the USPS delivery confirmation that I paid for in addition to sending the pan back. They agree the pan should be replaced under warranty. But four months later, still no pan. Do yourself a favor, save your money and get something else in the non stick pan class. The warranty is almost useless at this point, and after a few years, even with no dishwasher, wooden utensils and care, they will stick.
The "Gold Standard " pan, (What's this?)
I bought this particular frying pan as a birthday present. America's Test Kitchen called it the Gold Standard in this category and I wanted an exceptional quality pan--we won't know how it lives up to its rating for a year or so, but I have high hopes.
Everything I expected, (What's this?) Nice weight, great non-stick pan. Now my favorite in our collection of All-Clad. Suggest getting the 12" lid to make it even more useful.
All-Clad Quality - Non-Stick Convience, (What's this?) This is a great little fry pan. As an owner of All-Clad Copper Core cookware, I was anxious to use this non-stick pan. It has the heft and quality you'd expect from All-Clad (it feels heavy and strong in your hand), and cleans up easily. Which is what drove my purchase. For some reason, the All-Clad Copper Core cookware cleans up great with soap, water, and a scratchy pad for almost any food EXCEPT scrambled eggs.
Check the details!, (What's this?) I ordered this pan for my induction cooktop, from the description that it has a "stainless interior". Turns out, MC2 is NOT induction compatible. So back this goes... Don't make the same mistake that I did. I can't give the pan a bad rating; I'm sure it works fine for its intended use...
DO NOT BUY ALLCLAD NONSTICK PRODUCTS!, (What's this?) The All-Clad Master Chef 2 Nonstick 8-Inch Fry Pan is expensive. Therefore, expectations are that it would last longer than other, inexpensive Nonstick products.
For us it lasted 6 months. It performed well while it lasted, before the nonstick surface started to peel off.
We sent the pan to All-Clad for a replacement, along with proof of purchase.
The response was quite funny: We cannot replace this 8-Inch Fry Pan because you applied too much heat to the pan!
We always thought that applying heat to a pan is the essence of frying eggs etc.
Apparently, All-Clad nonstick pans are not designed to be used on a stove.
BTW - our stove is an electric one, therefore supposed to be softer on frying pans.
Bottom line: Do not buy All-Clad nonstick products - they are peeling if used for frying!
Above all, do not expect All-Clad nonstick products to last longer than a few months.
Returning pan, (What's this?) Purchase one of the 10" fry pans April 1, 2010. Non-stick coating is peeling up off the edge of the pan. I am returning the pan to All Clad.
Pretty disappointing as I have owned a LOT of cheaper brands and never had the non-stick coat simply peel off the pan in a sheet like this.
Great Pan, (What's this?) I love the looks on this professional outside looks of this pan but yet it's non-stick on the inside. The pan was expensive, but so far I really like it. It cooks food evenly and it's easy to wash.
Layer of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to interior.Long, comfortable stay-cool handle riveted for strength.Lifetime warranty against defects.Classic slope-sided, 10-inch frying pan.Stainless-steel interior; brushed aluminum exterior, aluminum core.

Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the brushed aluminum exterior and the interior is a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. Certain pieces, like this one, have two interior layers, one of 18/10 stainless steel and the other of scratch-resistant, professional-grade nonstick bonded to the steel.This classic slope-sided fry pan illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. It's 10 inches in diameter, perfect for cooking tuna or tofu with little or no fat for a healthful meal. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is secured to the pan by stainless-steel rivets 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 highest heat. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed.
