All-Clad Copper Core Saute/Simmer Pan, 3-Qt.
A natural choice for making convenient one-pot dishes, this pan has a copper core for supremely even heat. The pan's wide base makes it suitable for browning and sauteing ingredients over high heat, while rounded sides contain liquids and facilitate stirring. Five-ply construction of securely bonded metals: a thick, extremely heat-responsive copper core sandwiched between two layers of highly conductive aluminum with an easy-clean stainless-steel exterior and interior that won't react with foods. Allows for the quickest heat-up time, maximum temperature control and rapid, even heat distribution. A ring of copper adds a finishing touch to the gleaming exterior. Domed lid promotes heat circulation and locks in moisture. Riveted stainless-steel handles stay cool on the cooktop. Ideal for use on any type of cooktop, including induction. Hand crafted in the USA with materials from the USA. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

Grille or Saute?
June 25, 2012
I cook dinner most nights in our house. And excepting the odd pot roast or holiday turkey, we mostly grille on a gas Weber or saute our meals. And when we saute, it is mostly with a pan reduction sauce, whether it's Scallops with Bacon, Rosemary and Garlic, Chicken Piccata, or our autumn favorite, Pork Chops with Apples, Allspice, and Onions. See, when you have a saute pan, a really good one, and you learn to use it for what it does best, you can cook dishes like this for quick midweek dinners. A leading cooking magazine would have you believe you can do all this in a 'skillet', but the fact is a saute pan has more usable surface area, greater volume capacity, better moisture control, and yields better, more consistent results than a frying pan. On the other hand, I wouldn't try cooking an omelet in a saute pan. There, sloped sides are your friend. Full disclosure: I own 7 saute' pans from 3 different manufacturers; 2 of them are All-Clad. Guess which I use the most...
Pros: Durable, Quality, Size, Versatile, Design
Cons: High-Maintenance

I love this pan, use almost daily, But a tad small
June 9, 2012
I love this pan, ESP with william Sonoma sauté simmer sauces, for chicken or seafood! I am always checking and hoping for copper core to make this same pan a bit larger 11 or 12in, so I can fit 4 chicken breasts to sauté all together. I will order it immediately. Are you listening allclad copper core reps?
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Shape, Weight, very elegant
Cons: a bit small

They do make a 12" Pan
Dear Lynnranchomirage, If you look closely they make a Pan call a 12" Copper Core Chefs Pan, 4-Qt.. It is 3" deep, 12" in Diameter and has a higher Domed Lid and a helper handle.
Other than a Higher Domed Lid it looks and cooks just like the 10" Saute/Simmer Pan. Check it out.

There is a 12" Copper Core Pan for YOU
All-Clad makes a pan called All-Clad Copper Core Chef’s 12" Pan
$375.00
This pan is the same shape and does the same thing. Looks just like the Saute/Simmer Pan but is 12" in Diameter and 3" Deep. Same type Pan, just a different name.

Love these sauce pans!!
April 14, 2011
I have loved the copper core pans since I first started using them on my gas stove 4 years ago. Now I have an induction stove and they are just as fabulous! Best pans I have ever owned!!
The 3 quart is very handy for family size cooking. It is my first pick for most uses.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Design, Weight, even heating, heats up quickly

All-Clad Star
April 7, 2011
The All-Clad Copper Core Saute/Simmer pan is a super performer and is able to cook food faster than the non-copper core pans. The food cooks evenly and quickly. What more could you want. And the size is ideal for wilted greens saute which starts big and then wilts to a smaller size. I am very impressed with its performance and highly recommend it. At the sale price of $179 through WS, even more reason to have it!
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Design
Cons: Difficult to Store

Perfect size

Of all my All-Clad cookware, this pan is my favorite. It is a great size for most of my cooking, and the addition of a lid makes it really multi-purpose.

Great Food Plus Energy Savings
March 18, 2011
Wow what a great all around pan! Great for saute or using as a fry pan. It is perfect for the single person or for a couple.
The hidden advantage is how efficient it is. It uses less (gas or electric) energy to achieve great food with today's now higher and higher energy costs. Plus it can be used on an induction stove top.
Only wish it had a second handle.

This is a wonderful tool to have in your repertoire is pots and pans. It heats quickly and evenly; it is a wonderful size for so many kitchen tasks; I'd love one just a little larger too. Get one! You'll be glad you did!

Will last a lifetime
August 19, 2010
I know that All-Clad also makes cookware with no-stick surfaces, but I'm tired of replacing pans when the coating wears out. This pan is stainless outer and interior, which means It's easier to keep shiny than copper on the outside, and the inside will never lose its finish. The metal interior also browns food much better than do non-stick finishes. The price is a high but so is the quality.

Good...but AlClad quality is declining
July 28, 2010
Purchased this pan, and I do love the size and the copper core cooking. I was a little disappointed in the lid. It does not fit the pot well, and the interior of it is not finely finished. The metal is rough. When compared to the rest of my Copper Core set, purchased about 5-6 years ago, the quality has definitely declined. I don't know if it is the special nature of this item or what. Still cooks nicely and is a great size for 3-4 servings preparation.

My favorite pot for making delicious meals
March 29, 2010
I really love this 3qt. saute pan for making one dish meals for my husband and I. It takes so much less time and power to cook with. I only have one problem with it and it is the handle. Not really easy for me to hold, but I would buy it again and I would (and have) recommended it to several friends and family members that will be purchasing it. I am 65 and this is the best pan I have ever owned, wish I could afford more :-))

Very Versatile Pan
March 22, 2010
This pan has many advantages including a well fitting lid. With the deep sides, food stays in the pan and it's very easy to pour sauces. It's great for one dish meals as well as frying. It's also very easy to clean. A bonus for me is the beauty of All Clad Copper Core...enjoy both using and displaying this wonderful line of cookware.

just wanted to note, the fit and finish is fine. the handle is open in the center to decrease heat transmission. That's why the handle stays cool. Calphalon does the same thing.

Best Cooking Ever
February 11, 2010
Our daughter and son-in-law chose All-clad when they registered. So we gave it a try with this pan. We became believers. Even cooking, cleans like a dream. We're slowly converting all our cookware.
