 My favorite panOct 23, 2001
I bought this after reading a comparison of dutch ovens in "Cook's Illustrated." This one, along with I think LeCrueset, ranked highest (and this one was lighter-weight). I have not been disappointed. I use it for soups, stews, pot roast, etc. It conducts heat beautifully and even cleans up well. It's just a great tool.

Old FaithfulOct 21, 2005

Well it's not that old, but it is my go-to pot for soups, stews and braising large pieces. Stainless steel is the best because I can put it in the dishwasher. It heats well because of the All-Clad technology. High sides make it an excellent pot for frying. I've seen folks use cast iron Dutch ovens. I'm not willing to give up "dishwasher safe" for a pot that weighs a ton.

I use this ALL the timeMar 30, 2007
By Stephanie Unger

Don't let the price tag scare you - this pot will become one of the main tools in your kitchen. And you'll be hooked and you'll go back for more.
A few years ago I went to a famous kitchen store to purchase Le Creuset, but they were out of the size I wanted and the saleslady suggested this All Clad dutch oven. She said, "I'm waiting for my own Le Creuset to wear out so I can get one of these."
I took her advice, and I use this pot ALL THE TIME. At least once a week I use it to roast a whole chicken in the oven. I use it for spaghetti, casseroles, soup, jambalaya - anything. It works equally well in the oven or on the stove top. It's easy to clean - even oven-baked-on food comes off with a little soaking and a scrubber sponge.
I don't have a lot of money but I considered this a lifetime investment that was worth every penny. I am so sick of the cheap and flimsy Chinese products that have saturated the market. It is SO refreshing to find cookware that is so well made, so versatile, and so good looking, too. I eventually purchased the 13" braiser which I also use all the time. It's a good complement to the dutch oven.
If you're thinking of getting one of these, just do it!

Excellent! Light Weight & Quality!Sep 16, 2011
By C. Chiu
This is a excellent pot for soup & everyday cooking. It is versatile & looks beautiful, too. The size is just right for average small family 3-4 persons. The nicest thing about this pot is very easy to clean & much lighter than other types of cookware. I highly recommend it.

 Stainless Steel or Mystery MetalDec 02, 2007
By Michael D. Kent
"M Kent"
My wife has been slowly replacing all our kitchen cookware over the last couple of years. She performs hours of research looking for cookware that last. We are replacing a set of Revere cookware that she bought in college over twenty years ago. We have a small All Clad sauce pan from the same line as the Dutch oven we purchased, and we love it. Cleans up very easy and looks great. The Revere cookware being replaced still looks fairly decent. She registered for the All Clad Dutch oven on Amazon. I purchased this along with a Le Crueset Stock Pot.
We are very happy with Le Crueset stock pot, but the Dutch oven has not faired so well. We read the literature that came with the Dutch oven on proper use, and have adhered to all of the literatures do's and don'ts to no avail. The outside always stays spotty, even with hand drying. The inside HAS reacted with the food and is discolored. It can be cleaned with a lot of work.
In the end I would not recommend this product. I will be pursuing returning this product.
