Pot great, condition unacceptable
The 3 quart saucier I bought was sold by Amazon. It was the last one available. When it arrived the lid was bent and there were very noticable dings inside the pot. Looking at the packaging of the lid, it was clear this package had been opened before. Others have complained on Amazon of suspecting that defective items had been shipped out before and returned and then shipped to them again. I suspect this was the case with this item. Return is simple, if you consider packaging the whole thing up again and hauling it to a UPS store simple. I'm going to go to Macys and buy the cassoulet, which is the same pot with different handles for less money. Couldn't find the 3 quart saucier locally, which is why I ordered it here.

My new favorite pan!
Such a beautiful and useful shape. I have the 5-1/2 quart. It is a perfect size between a saucepan and stock/pasta pot. It has a wide bulb that is great for cooking stews, rice, sautes and of course sauces.
Sauce Made Easier
All-Clad Stainless is the best around. This large sized saucier pan is great for making sauces and other favorite dishes. Makes a great gift for those chef's you know. Can't go wrong here.
Now with pour spouts
I picked up this pan at a local foodie shop. I was pleased to see that All-Clad has improved the model this year. It now includes a pour spout on either side of the rim. The other reviewers are right on the money with the quality and versatility of this pan. I like this pan so much I am struggling to keep my self from buying a second one rather than diversifying my set.
I love it!
I make a lot of sauces. The rounded sides make it easy to stir the sauce and the cladded sides provide even heat distribution - don't know how I got along without it. Also great for small quantities of vegetables. I recommend it unqualifedly - 5 stars all the way
