All Clad Copper Core Cookware PDF Print E-mail
Written by Mark Jala   
The All-Clad Copper Core line 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.  Their patented design employs a 5-ply bonded technology in which a copper core is fused to aluminum and the highest quality magnetic stainless steel on the exterior and 18/10 stainless steel on the interior.

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 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 recommended.

AllCladCopperCore.jpgReviewers at Amazon are generally quite pleased with these products, giving them a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars overall.   One reviewer said the following:  "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."

Far fewer people were dissatisfied with this brand, but one reviewer found them difficult to clean and wrote, "I am greatly disappointed with all clad stainless steal, it not only reacted to the food, discoloring the pan but it was almost impossible to clean.  I did not use high heat just medium, and on one account with the medium skillet I used just under medium heat and still got the same terrible results.  I used everything All Clad recommended to clean the inside of the pans and it still took me all the elbow grease I could muster to clean the pans."
