Product Description
The ultimate in beautiful, high-performance cookware,
All-Clad's innovative
Copper Core collection combines the unexcelled heat
conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance of stainless
steel. Crafted in a unique five-ply construction, the cookware
contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and
evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up
the sides. Aluminum layers bond the copper to stainless-steel
exteriors and interiors. Enhancing the cookware's appearance, a
stripe of the copper core elegantly encircles the gleaming,
mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished so it's
stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Rolled edges on pots and
pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting
lids.
This seven-piece set of Copper Core cookware consists of a
10-inch fry pan, a 2-quart saucepan with lid, a 3-quart sauté
pan with lid, and an 8-quart stockpot with lid. Polished 18/10
stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength
and grooved on the top for comfort. The lids' handles, the
pans' long handles (holed for hanging on a hook or peg), and
the stockpot's loop handles stay cool on the stovetop but won't
be harmed by an oven's heat. Hand washing this cookware will
preserve the jewel-like beauty during its lifetime warranty
against defects--and beyond. --Fred Brack

are saying:
"Always and Forever"
By, Peggy Vincent "author and reader" (Oakland,
CA)
"A professional chef who is a neighbor recommended these to
me when we had our kitchen remodeled and I wanted to splurge on
some new cookware. "Buy these, and you'll never need anything
else,' he said. Lord, he was SO right. Lids that fit, handles
that magically stay cool, surfaces that are easy to clean, even
and quick heating...who could ask for more? Don't bother with
any other brands."
"Amazing cookware, Never Knew It Could Be This
GOOD!"
By, Todd March (Sunny Southern California)
"Over the years I have used a variety of cookware--aluminum
bottomed stainless Revere Ware, Magnalite Professional,
Calphalon, Calphalon Professional NonStick. When I finally had
to throw out the last of my tattered collection, I started to
look for some stainless cookware that would stand the test of
time and offer performance to boot. I decided to splurge on
this All-Clad Copper
Core.
One of the pieces I recieved was this 1 1/2 Quart saucepan.
What a workhorse this one is! Rice to soup to lentils to barely
to country gravy, it gets used! The most used of all my Copper
Core is this little pot!
Delighted to report that I am THRILLED with this expensive
splurge! All-Clad is NOT about expensive hype and status, those
these pans are beautifully made, instead they do everything
cookware should, and have literally changed the way I cook.
Having attended CIA and worked as a professional chef for a few
years, I know the golden rule for food not sticking: preheat
pan, add oil, let oil heat for 5-10 seconds, then add food.
Using these guidelines with the Copper Core, nothing sticks!
And I mean for some things, like omelets or fried eggs in the
10" frypan, the performance is as good as my brand new
Calphalon NonStick was; when you can just slide omelets and
fried eggs out of the pan without ANY sticking at all, why
would you ever need Nonstick or Teflon based products?!
However, these pans are also superbly capable of developing a
fond on the pan bottom for deglazing and subsequent sauces; in
fact I have had them give every last bit of the fond up when
deglazed, almost cleaning the pan for me! That's the best thing
about them--they do everything right. I am not sure if it's
All-Clad propriety stainless "recipe" or what, but these pans
are so amazing to be able to function on all levels from eggs
sliding out with ZILCH sticking to chicken [...] sticking just
enough to develop rich fond for complete deglazing, to the
light and glazy fond from sauteed onions and garlic for
developing a richer risotto when deglazed with wine.
Mind you, this is partly about knowing some basic cooking
principles, and these pans might not act so obligingly in non
experienced hands, because when I read about people commenting
on how everything sticks in their All-Clad stainless interior,
I know it isn't All-Clad's fault, believe me!
I have found the copper
core very responsive and quick to adjust to
temperature. Perhaps not as great as true copper pot and pans,
but noticeably better than aluminum cores (Stainless line) or
anodized aluminum (Magnalite Pro/Calphalon). These pans heat up
and boil water faster than anything I have ever used, aside
from true copper cookware, and when turning the heat down, or
removing from burner, they also cool incredibly quickly. It's
nice to have semi-copper performance with the ease of stainless
steel clean-up. And this cookware does clean-up quickly and
easily, particularly when using Barkeepers Friend. I use
plastic and wooden utensils (no metal) and they still look
almost brand new after several months.
The copper band however does tarnish and discolor just as much
and just as fast as a true copper pot or pan, so if you are
fanatic, you will need to polish the tarnish away fairly often
(at least every other week). However this is barely noticeable
for us real world users, and Barkeepers friend does a good job
of semi-polishing the copper (but it won't gleam).
I know, I know, they are SO expensive. But honestly, if you
know how to cook or want to learn with responsive cookware, I
honestly feel this is a great investment. I am wholeheartedly
thrilled that I made it and cannot recommend highly
enough."
"Quality you can taste"
By, K. Trahanovsky (USA)
"If you're into quality products that will live longer than
you will, buy these pots. This is the one wedding gift I use
every week and grow to appreciate more each time. They also
help make food turn out great -- it's almost impossible to burn
something in them; they heat evenly and quickly, and retain
heat like mad. They are heavy, durable, dishwasher-safe, you
don't have to worry about scratching them, and there is
absolutely no metallic taste. Can one pot be worth $250? We've
probably saved thousands by not eating out because these pots
are such a joy to cook with. You won't be disappointed."
