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.

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 a stainless-steel exterior and interior. Adding a Wow! factor, the copper core shows up in an elegant stripe encircling the gleaming, mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The rolled edges on the pots and pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting lids. This beautiful, classic, straight-sided, 3-quart saucepan offers convincing evidence of why All-Clad earns an unsurpassed worldwide reputation. Because the copper core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly in the pan, even though it's 3-9/16 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, the taste of tomato-based pasta sauces and other acidic foods won't be metallic. Its polished, 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. The long pan handle (holed for hanging on a hook or peg) and loop handle stay cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Hand washing this pan preserves the jewel-like beauty during its lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. --Fred Brack

quality saucepan October 8, 2008
Rose (San Antonio,TX)
This is my first purchase of high end cookware and I must say it's worth the money. This cookware is nothing I ever owned before. The copper core retains heat resulting in the food heating up quickly. I was so pleased with this pan that I purchased the 10 piece set. Not only are these pans very well made, they are also made here in the US.

I have few copper core pots, 3, 6, and 12" skillet. But this pot is my favorite. The enjoyment and delicious food I get from these pots, is worth every penny I spent on them.

Not too big, not too small, it's just right for eveything from heating up
soup to whipping up a ganache for dessert. Loop handle is a nice touch.
If you're like me and use only a few "good" pots and pans to perform a
broad range of duties, then this saucepan should be on your short list.
The fact All Clad warranties it for life is icing (ganache) on the cake.
It's beautiful to use December 24, 2007

It's heavy, it's solid, it heats up quickly & evenly, it's fun! We cook a lot and got tired of bad cookware. We had one of those Caphalon anodized aluminum pots that got mysterious chips in the bottom (in spite of never putting metal utensils in it) - and then one day, while attempting to make shrimp stock, a gooey scum adhered to the bottom interior (and it won't let go). The price tag probably seems a bit steep for some, but I can tell we will get many years of use out of it. Sure, I've only had this one for 2-3 months, but it has worked beautifully. I only clean it with a soft sponge, water, soap, and maybe Bar Keeper's Friend or a similar acid. If you cook at proper temperatures with proper techniques, you won't get sticking. If you get a little sticking, soak it in warm water, or heat the water in the pot on the stove. Pouring liquids out of the pot works fine (guess that lip design helps).
Amazing cookware, Never Knew It Could Be This GOOD! May 19, 2007

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.
