Questions & Answers
My butter warmer is a product of the United States of America. I gave back the only one-of-a-kind item I had. Not made in the United States Clad product (pizza stone). I'm not going to pay their exorbitant prices for items made in other countries.
It has an inside diameter of 4 1/2 inches (11 cm) and no lid. The depth is approximately 2 1/2 inches (6 centimeters). It's what I use to keep butter and oils warm. It's a small pot, and putting a lid on it could result in a boil-over.
My pot has a lipped lid.
The exterior has been polished!

It's not because of a mistake on the part of the user: Our larger pots and pans work fine, and the construction appears to be of the same high quality that you'd expect from All Clad, but it's useless to us.
This pan could not fit on my gas stove, so I had to return it. It's a little on the small side and will fall over unless perfectly positioned. I went to Williams Sonoma to see if this was the case with all small All-American stores. Pans that have been clad It was. I ended up purchasing a Williams Sonoma saucepan, which is excellent and has a spout!.
On those chilly mornings, I bought this tiny pot to make a cup of hot chocolate. That's exactly what it's for. Heavy-duty, long-lasting, and simple to clean and store (when not in use, I hang it on a magnet on the side of the fridge). I'd prefer it if it had a lid, but the milk heats up quickly, and I always keep an eye on it while it's heating to ensure it doesn't boil over. A lid would just help with the scum that can accumulate on heated milk if it is left uncovered. Great for reheating a small single serving of just about anything except milk, which could benefit from a lid to keep moisture in.
I needed a butter warmer and was able to obtain one. Everything will be fine. It's solid and well-made, but it's not well-balanced. If you place it on the burner grate incorrectly, it has a tendency to tip over.
For example, it's ideal for bringing water to a boil for a cup of hot chocolate. Several times a week, I use it to reheat leftovers, warm butter, and boil water. It's very easy to clean, and when I reheated pasta sauce in it, it didn't turn brown. The lack of a spout on the pan makes pouring difficult. br>br>One thing to keep in mind is that it does not have a spout. You'll get the hang of pouring over the sink quickly, but keep in mind that if you're pouring water into a cup, some will spill until you get used to it. Even though I've been using my pan on a regular basis for quite some time, I still make a mess every time I pour water. It's usually water, which I pour over the sink, so it's not a big deal, but I'm aware that it could get messy.
shoddy workmanship - There is no such thing as a guarantee. Pro: br>It's a lovely metal piece. br>Sturdy and substantialbr>Perfect size for melting and keeping butter warm.
Con: br>There isn't a flat bottom. br>It's a total loss for the pan. Purchasing is not recommended. br>br>In pan, there is no such thing as a bad mistake. br>br>When I first got the pan, I looked it over but didn't think to check for flatness. Before putting it to use, I recycled the box and packing. I just took it out of the box and discovered it in this condition. I won't be able to return it, and I won't be able to use it. This type of pan can cause cracks in ceramic cooktops and can also cause problems on induction plates. br>[Edit] I spoke with CR at All- Clad and she explained to me that they purposefully made the pan convex (unstable). That'll do it.
This is a sturdy, perfect little saute pan with a smooth metal surface that is thick but not too heavy. It's probably best known for melting butter and warming syrup, as well as for making and warming small sauces. It heats evenly and performs admirably in that regard. It also holds a 16-ounce can of whatever you want to warm up gently. I was astounded by its capacity. I prefer to cook with the smallest pan possible, and this one surprised me.
There's no way to go wrong with All-In-One. Clad. It may appear to be pricey (and it is), but their products are built to last; I've used them at home, in culinary school, and in restaurants, and this stuff is built to last. br>br>However, one star is deducted because the pot does not come with a lid. I'm willing to pay a premium for quality, but there's a point at which enough is enough.
