The All-Clad Copper Core cookware line is a premiere 5-ply, healthy cookware. The copper surrounded by aluminum maximizes even heat distribution. All-Clad copper core offers a very full range of cookware. It includes everything from fry pans (8, 10, and 12 inches) to sauce pans with lids and stockpots to open stir fry pans-or woks- and Dutch ovens of either 5.5 or 7 quarts. Copper Core cookware is not induction ready.
All-clad's copper core creates optimum heat conductivity while the stainless steel exterior and interior provide a perfect cooking surface, easy cleaning, and durability. Most of the product line comes with lids with the exception of the butter warmer, open stir fry pan, and fry pans.
All-Clad cookware is premium American made cookware.
All-Clad considers their fry pans to be the "workhorse" of their line; the pans are designed to be able to withstand the highest temperatures of an oven and are even able to go underneath the broiler. They're made for sauteing, pan frying, searing and more.
The handles of every piece of cookware in the line are made of solid stainless steel with another patented "stay cool" technology that is also ergonomic for long cooking sessions. The stainless steel rivets are extra durable to keep the handles solidly locked in place. The bonded parts are made in the USA by American artisans using American made materials, and the line comes with a lifetime warranty.
All Clad Copper Core is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is strongly recommended.

"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."

"Ever since receiving one as a gift, this piece has been the pride and joy of my cookware collection. Having a thick interior layer of copper, the pot is quite heavy, and conducts heat more evenly than the calphalon pan I used to use. The extra money for the copper core is definitely worth it. If I had the money, I'd stock my entire kitchen with this line.
I never worry about things sticking to the bottom of the pot. The trick is to heat the pan on low to medium-low heat for a few minutes before putting oil in the pot, and then letting the oil heat for a few minutes until it begins to smoke.
Stainless steel is much easier to clean than either hard-anodized aluminum or copper. Getting it clean enough to use is a breeze, although personally, I insist on scrouring it until it shines like new simply because I like this pot so much."
