I've decided on the 3 qt saute pan and am now researching the second item that I need. My Calphalon ns sauce pan is reaching the end of its life. I like the curve and the width of the sauciers, but they are only available in ss in brands I'd want. I like the fact that ss lasts virtually forever, but I make a lot of sauces and don't want to have a sticking problem. Is ss as easy to use for sauces as ns or does it require a bit more finesse? I currently use a flat whisk in my ns sauce pan and can continue that way if necessary.

congrats on your purchase. I can only say I have a 3-qt. saucier pan (AllClad) and I don't know how I got along without it - I use it so often. I don't cook large quantities too much anymore so opted for that one instead of the 4-qt. Anxious to hear what you decide to get and how you like it.

forgot to add the saucier is as easy to clean as all other AllClad products!!

I'm glad to hear a good review on the A-C saucier. I was personally leaning toward the 2 qt. as I don't typically make large volumes of sauce. I'll plan on getting that, the saute and the universal steamer insert when they have their spring sale.
