All-Clad Copper Core 7-Piece Cookware Set
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 the 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″ fry pan, the performance is as good as my brand new Calphalon Non Stick 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?
This quintessential cookware collection is the result of more than four decades of All-Clad ingenuity and artisanship. Copper-Core combines the ideal benefits of copper heat conduction with the cleaning ease of stainless steel. Because this formula is a carefully-guarded All-Clad innovation, no other cookware in the world can match the performance standards of its unique bonded design.

All-Clad Copper Core 8-Inch Fry Pan
This beautiful, classic slope-sided fry pan demonstrates why All-Clad’s worldwide reputation is unsurpassed. The fry pan is 8 inches in diameter, perfect for searing a hunk of halibut or a hangar steak. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won’t be harmed by an oven’s highest heat.
I also have the 12 inch fry pan I use when company comes over. After using this pan a few times I threw out all my nonstick cookware. Now I use nothing but All-Clad Copper Core. Every morning I scramble eggs in this pan. I put a pat of butter in the bottom, turn the heat to medium (never high or you’ll scorch any pan), let the butter start to turn brown and throw in my eggs. They don’t stick; it’s amazing. The few times I do have some stickies, I just soak in water for 10 minutes before washing and they easily come clean.
- Beautiful, classic slope-sided, 8-inch frying pan
- Stainless-steel interior and exterior with elegant copper stripe
