The second generation of All-Clad's Master Chef line (MC2), this cookware combines brushed aluminum with stainless-steel accents for a contemporary look. Like All-Clad's other renowned cookware collections, Master Chef provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior is a thick aluminum core that spreads heat evenly across the bottom of the pot and all the way up its sides. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Handles, rivets, and tight-fitting lids are all gleaming stainless steel. This 16-quart stockpot illustrates the Master Chef line's stylish yet practical design. Though not classically tall and narrow, it simmers soups and stocks and poaches two chickens. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly, even though the pot is 7-1/4 inches deep (13 inches in diameter). And because the interior is nonreactive, tomatoes and other acidic foods won't taste metallic. Its lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. The stockpot's rolled edge facilitates dripless pouring. Master Chef cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
Product Description
Originally designed to meet the demands of professional chefs, All-Clad continues to be the undisputed choice in four-star kitchens throughout the world. The cookware has exquisite lines, impeccable balance, meticulous hand-finishing, and superior heat-conductivity. The cookware features a unique metal bonding construction in which a thick core of aluminum is sandwiched between an easy-to-clean, highly polished 18/10 stainless steel cooking surface and a brushed aluminum alloy exterior. The aluminum core retains heat and evenly distributes it along the bottom and up the sidewalls of the cookware, eliminating hot spots when cooking. The stainless interior is stick-resistant and cleans easily. The matte finish exterior of brushed aluminum gives the cookware a distinctive style. The stock pot is great for preparing stocks and soups, boiling water for pasta, and cooking large batches of chili or chowder. The stock pot has two stay-cool loop handles attached with non-corrosive, stainless steel rivets and a lid fashioned from polished 18/10 stainless steel that fits even with the pan's edges to seal in the flavour of foods.
16 quart/15.1 litre capacity.
Oven safe to 500 F. Lifetime warranty. Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended, as the exterior beauty of the pan will deteriorate with dishwasher use. To remove stuck-on food or discolouration and stains resulting from using too high heat, clean using Bar Keeper's Friend stainless steel cleanser. Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, abrasive cleansers, bleach, or oven cleaners.

Amazon just kinda threw mine in the box with some wadded up paper in one corner, and needless to say the contents were not treated gently by FedEx. Despite the fact that the packaging was in shreds when I opened everything up, the pot itself showed no signs of damage--which is why you buy an All-Clad in the first place.
You can get a solid aluminum pot that performs about as well for less than 1/4 of the price of this one, but then you can't cook tomatoes in it, so the stainless steel interior comes in pretty handy. Heats up quickly and evenly, and that's really everything you need a pot to do, so I have zero complaints.
All-Clad Pots are tops! April 16, 2006

All clad pots are wonderful. The shorter pans with thick-cored bottoms make excellent jam pots as they deliver very good heat distribution. Good heat distribution is necessary for cooking full-flavored jams, preserves, or butters. Without good heat distribution you run the risk of burn spots on the pan's surface. These burn spots may/will impart an unwanted flavor to your product. If you've ever tried to disguise burned jam-- you know it's a losing battle. While some cooks may consider All-Clad pots or pan to be too expensive, I believe they are well worth the cost as you are less likely to burn your product. One good pan is worth more than six cheapies. Besides, quality equipment instills confidence and makes you feel like a seasoned chef.

The 12 quart stock pot is the big brother to the 6 quart Master Chef 2 stock pot I got a few months ago to replace both a 5 quart teflon lined pot and my 8 quart Le Creuset Dutch oven. The 6 quart stainless steel lined aluminum body fit the bill perfectly, so I had great hopes for its big brother. And, the 12 quart has come through with flying colors.
I started getting Master Chef 2 from all the different All-Clad lines because that seemed to be the standard of choice on the Food Network's 'Iron Chef America' show. And, while I know it is not the most expensive All-Clad line, I'm also sure that they would not have chosen it if Bobby and Mario would have had any problem with it.
I also picked this particular pot because although it is labelled a stock pot, it does not have quite the classic high height to radius ratio, so it is not so high that it is hard to work with, especially when you are using it for soups. When I use it to make stocks, it has the one quality I want most, especially with an electric range, and that is control. Stock temperatures seem to respond quite well to changes in burner setting and I get no hot spots causing boiling when the overall temp of the stock is below 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Best of all, it is not extremely heavy, as it weighs less than the 8 quart Creuset.
A bit pricy, but an excellent member of its family of pots!

I've owned All-Clad for a long time and have been pleased with the performance of my cookware. However, my purchase of the 16 quart stock pot was a big disappointment. When the pot arrived, the lid did not fit properly. It was slightly warped and had a dimple along the rim. When placed on the pot, the lid did not sit tightly all the way around and instead woppled like a table that has one leg slightly shorter than the rest. Although returning the item to Amazon was trouble free, they were not helpful at all when I inquired if purchasing a non-defective product would be possible. In short, there was no assurance that the product shipped to me would be free of defects. After a while, I wondered if they have continually shipped out the same defective pot hoping some customer will simply find the return process to troublesome and keep the flawed pot. This may sound picky but for the $350 purchase price, I fully expected a product that was free of flaws or defects; both from Amazon and All-Clad. Overall, the purchase was very disappointing.

I thought I couldn't cook -- until I started using All-Clad. I kept scorching the pudding and didn't realize it was my old, thin stainless steel pans with the copper bottoms that was the problem. (You know the ones I mean.) All-clad pans are wonderful. They conduct heat well, clean easily, and are heavy enough to avoid scorching problems. I recommend them to everyone. I have an assortment from the 2 qt. copper saucier for delicate sauces to this useful aluminum exterior clad 6 qt. pot that I use for absolutely everything, from spaghetti sauces to chili to pot roasts. This 6 quart beauty is the first piece of All-clad that I purchased over 10 years ago. It is also the pot I use most often and I have no trouble keeping the aluminum clad exterior clean enough to hang on the wall. Furthermore, I know from first hand experience that the All-clad company stands behind their product and will replace them if there is a problem. The only exterior that I don't have much experience with is the LTD. I bought one of the 1 qt. bargains -- and so far it has not scratched although my use has been very light. (I find it a little too small to be really useful.)
