Attractively designed and incredibly tough, it is constructed of three layers of metal; two stainless steel outer layers with an aluminum core. The stainless steel exterior combined with the aluminum core allows the pot to be used on all types of stovetops, including induction, and heats it evenly to eliminate hot spots. The included stainless steel lid holds in heat and steam to create succulent and juicy meals, and has an easy to grasp handle paired with looped side handles to make the piece easy to move around the kitchen. Sure to impress all, not least of which yourself, the braiser is excellent at preparing foods such as braised meats, artichokes, cheeses, and more.

I bought the braiser about five years ago. It handles frying, sauteing, and braising beautifully. I don't flip with a 13" pan so not having another pan handle in the way on the stove is a real convenience. The domed lid provides good circulation and the pan itself spreads the heat quite evenly.

The best part is that after turning out a great meal, this pan is a breeze to clean. (A trick I stole from Calphalon is, if need be, I can throw in some cleanser and let it soak. Nothing withstands that.)

My wife has now come around to preferring All-Clad as a result of this pan. As her pans lose the anodized coating, we're simply replacing them with All-Clad.

This pan is great!Feb 26, 2003

I recently ordered this pan, wondering if it would be worth the money. I have a smooth cooktop and my larger saute pans don't have flat bottoms which causes the pans to spin when I stir - very annoying. This problem is solved with this pan! It is very heavy duty so warping won't happen. It is wonderful to cook in and cleans up easily. The cooking surface at the base is about 10 inches, and at the top the pan is about 13". I chose this particular pan because I knew I would be able to cook a wide variety of meals in it. My smothered pork chops were awesome when cooked in this pan. I'm hooked!

My Most Used Piece of Large CookwareMay 09, 2003

For Christmas last year, my husband gave me my All Clad 13" brasier. I can't say enough good things about it. I reach for it constantly when I'm making a dish that requires some space. It serves a myraid of functions and looks great going from the oven/stovetop to the table.
All Clad's not cheap, and if you're looking for a versatile piece, this one is it.

Awesome cookware, my new favoriteMar 16, 2008
By Michael J. Haller "plucker69"
After using it for a month, it has overtaken the Calphalon non stick as the everyday pan. Cooking is even and although i was initially scared about clean up it is a breeze. Th biggest test was cooking sausage that was sticking to the pan. Soaking with Bar keepers friend and a quick wipe was all it needed. This is my first piece of All Clad and I am a believer. It is worth the extra money, no questions asked. I m not wealthy and buying these by the piece so it is worth waiting and buying quality.

Versatile, All-purpose, Outstanding!Jan 24, 2011
By Skyboy
I love using this pan for numerous recipes. Fits perfect on my ceramic top stove where I use it at least once a week. Great for sauteing (sp?) and then pop in the oven as a casserole. Use it often for stir fry. Cleans up wonderfully. Once in a while I'll clean with Bar Keeper's Friend (available at Wal-Mart) and it looks like new! Pricey, but considering how often I actually use it and knowing it will last my lifetime and more, it is worth it. Also, something actually made in the good ole USA!
