All Clad Copper Core 10-Piece Cookware Set

Basically, the 5-ply construction combines the ideal heat conduction provided by copper and aluminum and stainless steel's good looks and easy cleaning. This means you get fast, even heating; no hot spots; professional-grade quality; and delicious cooking every time.

The 5 layers in All-Clad Copper Core cookware and their unique bonding design are one of the company's trade secrets and the reason behind the high price. Bonding different metals together keeps the best properties of each material while minimizing the least useful properties.

For example, copper and aluminum are excellent heat conductors, offering fast and even heating with very few hot spots. The problem is, both of these metals tend to react with food, creating chemicals and flavors you don't want. Stainless steel is an inert metal, meaning it doesn't react with foods, but it's not a very good heat conductor. By combining layers of these 5 metals, the All-Clad Copper Core 10-piece Cookware Set gives you the best of all of them.

The set includes all the pots and pans you use most! With this elegant All-Clad cookware set, your days of mismatched pots and pans and buying multiple sets to get all the pieces you want are over.

All-Clad Copper Core cookware can be used on induction stoves! Induction stoves are the hot new thing in cooking, and the copper core in All-Clad cookware makes it a timeless cooking option that works well with any stove or cooktop.

It even includes a lifetime warranty against defects! Most cookware manufacturers offer a warranty limited to a year or two. With a lifetime warranty from All-Clad, you'll never need to buy another cookware set again.

I Love to cook... I'm an engineer by trade, Aerospace type. I escape to cooking for friends. I was using an old Grand Cuisine set that served my wife and I well, with copper bottoms only. We installed a new Wolf stove with large burners and the ol' Grand Cuisine was burning where the copper stopped. I was interested in the All Clad Copper Core because I like copper performance but don't like cleaning bare copper.
We bought this set at a local store. Be careful, all 10 piece sets are not the same. Some include different pieces. A higher price set could be a better bargain. You need to check the size of your pieces. The 10 piece set for was perfect for starter. My wife wants three more pieces.

Performance: While I'm not a pro chef, I am an engineer. You can say what you want. I'm a people person too. We like it when our friends leave with full stomachs swearing they've had nothing better. This does not happen all the time, but when the beer and food hit the mark, it happens once in a while.

These pots ROCK. The pots distribute the heat as described. They are expensive. (Period) But you do get what you pay for in this case. These pots handle the big burners like they were made for them. Even the small pots. I need to put the small pot across the ring of fire to capture only a portion of the ring and they can melt butter evenly. (Period) Sauce, sage chicken, you name it. Because of the performance, they are easier to clean too. They have fewer hot spots than typical pots that would normally burn sections of food into the pan.

We are very happy, picky engineers. If a new set of cookware is a financial priority for you, get the copper core. (Period)

I'm a bit of an amateur chef, and All-Clad is the best cookware I've found at any price.

All of the pieces heat (or cool) quickly, cook evenly and are easy to clean. They don't ask to be treated with exceptional care, and you get the sense that an investment in All-Clad will last forever. For what it's worth, to me, the copper core is definitely worth the extra cost versus the steel or steel and aluminum designs. They're a bit heavier, but they seem to cook much better.

To me, the look is clean and elegant, but functional. But of course, we don't buy pots and pans for how they look...for whatever reason, I just find that I'm a better cook with All-Clad.

This particular set is about perfect for most uses. For me, I add a small (1.5Q) saucier, a double boiler and a steamer insert, and I feel like I have all the bases covered.

Add to this the fact that they're made in the USA and guaranteed forever - and you have the world's best cookware. Definitely recommended!

I've always watched the chefs on cooking shows, and what kind of cookware they used. Most often it is All-Clad, and for good reason. It is heavy, sturdy, and controls the heat well and evenly. Very happy that I have purchased these pans, expensive as they are. I'll never have to buy another set.
