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.

All-Clad Copper Core 17-Inch Oval Roaster Review

To most of us, a roasting pan is a moderately high sided rectangular pan with a rack to hold the roast or bird.Well, it is time to think and cook anew.This pan with lower and wider sides will allow the oven's heat to reach more of your food.Forget a rack and place your food on chopped aromatic vegetables (chunks of carrot onion celery parsnip etc) which will roast along with the meat, giving great flavor and some moisture to the drippings. You will find your roasting technique transformed and the end results truly wonderful.

Not roasting? Ideal for a party paella or jambalaya, or ribs. Try game birds (yes you can roast 4 to 6 game hens at once) and it will take your turkey with ease!

All-Clad Stainless-Steel Dutch Oven Review

Don't let the price tag scare you - this pot will become one of the main tools in your kitchen. And you'll be hooked and you'll go back for more.

A few years ago I went to a famous kitchen store to purchase Le Creuset, but they were out of the size I wanted and the saleslady suggested this All Clad dutch oven. She said, "I'm waiting for my own Le Creuset to wear out so I can get one of these."

I took her advice, and I use this pot ALL THE TIME. At least once a week I use it to roast a whole chicken in the oven. I use it for spaghetti, casseroles, soup, jambalaya - anything. It works equally well in the oven or on the stove top. It's easy to clean - even oven-baked-on food comes off with a little soaking and a scrubber sponge.

I don't have a lot of money but I considered this a lifetime investment that was worth every penny. I am so sick of the cheap and flimsy Chinese products that have saturated the market. It is SO refreshing to find cookware that is so well made, so versatile, and so good looking, too. I eventually purchased the 13" braiser which I also use all the time. It's a good complement to the dutch oven.

If you're thinking of getting one of these, just do it!

All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 2-Quart Saucepan Review

This is the pan that my children (and their parents) used for cooking
oatmeal, melting butter, making cocoa, heating soup, and an assortment
of other homely cooking projects. It's a great all-around pot that is
smartly designed and heavy enough to heat things evenly, but not so
heavy that carrying it when it's full will be a chore. In contrast to
French copper pots, this one has a stainless steel interior rather
than tin, and is considerably more useful, because lighter in
weight. If you occasionally forget about the rice or the oatmeal, your
pot will not be wrecked - even after hours of heat baking the
food. Soak in cold water and scrape it off - gracefully, in fact. Food
can be scrubbed off with no fear of scratching the steel. Any old
copper cleaner will polish the exterior. The lid has a loop handle, so
that it can slip over the pot's handle for easy storage. This is a
costly item, but will last forever, cleans easily, and is just plain
beautiful to look at. It's simply a great gift, and by the way
"All-Clad" products last a lifetime (and are warrantied as
such).

All-Clad Copper Core 4-Quart Saucepan with Lid Review

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 4-Quart saucepan. I love to use this to cook pasta for two, and it's the perfet size for making stock with one chicken carcass or a risotto for several. Love this 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 breasts 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.

All-Clad Copper-Core Sauce Pan Review

I at first thought Coppercore was just a gimmick, with the gratuitous rim of exposed copper around the base, but I was wrong--this line is great: much heavier than their other lines, and, for what it's worth, attractive too.I have, at great expense, gotten two more of their pots.

Product Description:
Up until now All-Clad's excellent heat conductivity has been a result of an aluminum core. Another metal equally efficient when it comes to conducting heat is copper. All-Clad now has a complete line of copper core stainless steel cookware which uses bonded 5-ply construction to achieve culinary perfection. The copper core is exposed in an attractive band around each piece, adding warmth, color, and authenticity. Unlike pans with an abundance of exposed copper, these pieces clean easily and are lined with durable food-safe stainless steel. This large sauce pan will come in handy for making chili and soup, and for cooking grains and vegetables. The helper handle assists you in moving it around the stovetop, or from range to sink.

All-Clad Copper Core 2-1/2-Quart Windsor Pan with Lid Review

I purchased this pan as a "second" at Marshalls for $119.00. Still have yet to figure out why it was a second as it is in perfect condition. In any event, this is a typical All Clad high quality pan. Still trying to determine if the "copper core" line is really that much different than the normal stainless line. I also own Mauviel copper cookware and there is a HUGE difference in heat control from that to the All Clad Copper Core. With the Mauviel the heat change is nearly instantaneous but with the AC not so much. All that said I own a ton of AC and love every piece, especially for the price because when you start to get into copper it's a whole new world of expense. This Windsor pan has a terrific shape for the reduction of sauces. It is very heavy and stays put on the stove. I think I will be very happy with this pan and I bet you would be as well. However, I feel lucky I got it for the price I did because the $295.00 price here seems too high for this pan in comparison to the stainless line of AC, and I'm just not sure there is much of a difference.
