Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Five-Ply Stainless-Steel Clad 2-1/2-Quart Saucier with LidCustomer Review: A mail-order masterpiece Summary: 5 Stars
(Nine years later, I can report that the pan lasted much longer than the marriage, and all the below still applies. Even though the pan has been grossly abused many times, it still looks as good as when I got it. Prompting this update, just tonight I forgot about sesame and poppy seeds toasting away while I was cutting other things. When the smoke alarm went off, I automatically grabbed the pan by the handle to douse it: flames were coming out of it, but the handle was still cool.)
I managed to score one of these for Christmas by using subtle hints (try leaving the product description page up on your spouse's computer, eh, by mistake.)
What to say: KitchenAid really got it right, first time. Fit, finish, curvature, weight, handle... this thing is a workhorse, a dead gorgeous one.
So gorgeous that on our first night together I propped it on my bedstand so the first thing I would see in the morning would be its perfectly curved bottom. (No, you are wrong, I DO actually have a life.)
Testimonial on construction: Recently, while sauteing some onions and garlic, I got called away. Ten high-heat minutes later, the onions and even the garlic were still perfectly useable, and the pan only needed rinsing.
So, how can I justify spending [that much] on one small pot? Well, it's hard to do. Lets see: thirty years of use at twice per week = 5 cents per delightful encounter, and then I'll let my kids fight over it.
Description of KitchenAid Five-Ply Stainless-Steel Clad 2-1/2-Quart Saucier with LidDesigned for cooks who appreciate beauty and quality. The sloped sides of the saucier allow for easy whisking while the wider diameter at the top of the pan speeds reduction of sauces. Made of stainless steel with an aluminum core so it heats evenly even up the sides. Cast stainless steel handles are heat resistant for most stovetop cooking. ... This is not just another pot. With its mirrorlike 18/10 stainless-steel sheen, solid construction, and attention to detail, this saucier verges on a showpiece. The five-ply construction fuses an aluminum core between layers of stainless steel, resulting in wonderful heat transference across the bottom and up the sides. A special deep-draw lid ensures a tighter seal and minimizes rattling. The long, solid-cast stainless-steel handle is polished and has rounded edges for comfortable handling. The handle also stays cool to the touch and is oven-safe up to 500 degrees F. (Do use a potholder, though, when removing from the oven.) Hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended. Comes with a limited lifetime replacement warranty. --Matthew Evans
