Kitchen Aid Cookware: All-Clad Copper-Core Sauciers Review

I have had this pan for almost a year now and I have been very impressed with its performance.It was my first piece of All Clad and I bought it because I wanted a copper pan with the maintenance ease of stainless steel.I was a bit skeptical that it would have the same temperature response that a regular copper pan has, but I'm pleased to report that it does.I can take liquids from a roiling boil down to a non-boil and back again literally instantaneously by turning the burner knob (I have a gas stove)-- the pan is that responsive.Also, the heat is conducted uniformly all the way up the sides -- you can put your finger along the top edge of the exposed copper sandwich and feel the heat transferred immediately when you turn on the burner. Since it is so responsive, you generally need to use a lower heat setting than with a regular aluminum/stainless pan or food will burn. This pan is a joy to cook with -- the shape is like a flat bottomed mixing bowl and is great for rice pilaf, lentils, and small sautes.It is well balanced and light weight enough to do real saute cooking where you toss and flip the ingredients in the pan -- and the higher sides prevent the food from inadvertently escaping. It is relatively easy to clean, although rice and lentils will leave a residue which requires Bar Keepers Friend cleanser to completely remove. Also, the exposed copper will become tarnished from heat and steam, but it is easy to clean with the cleanser. Overall, I am extremely pleased with this purchase and would recommend the Copper Core line to anyone wanting the performance of copper cookware.
