All-Clad Copper Core Fry Pans
The copper core of this pan is incredibly responsive to heat, making this piece perfect for frying foods and cooking omelettes, or creating delicate sauces and reductions. 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. Riveted stainless-steel handle stays cool on the cooktop. Ideal for use on any type of cooktop, including induction. Hand crafted in the USA with materials from the USA.

KEYS TO NOT STICKING
May 1, 2013
I will never buy non-stick pans again. Even the new ones are not worth having; to replace once scratched.
Those who are having troubles with food sticking, there are secrets. You will have to use some fat. Fat is less of a foe than cooking with plastics.
Here's my cues:The butter (I cook omelettes every am) is ready if it is white foamy when applied. If it looks like milk with no foam, PAN is TOO COLD. If the butter turns brown as you run the cube along the bottom PAN is TOO HOT.
You really are looking for that white foamy sizzle.. PAN IS perfect!!! I then take a paper towel, and wipe out the excess..it still looks like there is a sheen of oil on it, but there is no pooling or puddles of butter. And yes, I use butter not anything fake... I suppose an oil would work just as well.
My point: any pan really can be non-stick with the proper ( read learning curve) preparation. It was truly hit or miss at 1st.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Design, Weight

Not what I have expected.
December 30, 2012
After reading all the reviews on this product, I finally decided to get one for myself. However, I am not as happy with it as others. Food keep sticking to the bottom of the pan even on a lower heat ...not sure what's wrong with it, but I'm definitely not happy and think this frying pan is overpriced big time.
Pros: Size
Cons: Quality, Weight

Perfect pan for couple
March 15, 2012
The size is just perfect to cook for 2 people. I use an induction cooker and this pan heats really well and evenly. (Just make sure to let the pan and oil gets really hot before frying egg on it ;)).
Cleaning it is decent. It's not too hard to clean but it won't be as easy as nonstick. I like my pan tarnished so I did not do much to keep the pan in its shiny original state.
Overall, I really love this pan and it's becoming the few pans that I use regularly (almost every day in fact).
Pros: Quality, Easy to Clean, Easy to Store, Size, Versatile, Shape, Design

In addition to what the other poster said, it is important to allow your food to develop its "crust" before moving it or turning it over in the pan. For meats, this usually means allowing it to sit in the pan for 3 minutes before turning to cook the other side.

I love them but...
Are you applying enough oil to your skillets and not overheating them before adding the food? A thin coat of canola oil wiped around with paper towel should be enough to prevent sticking.

Wonderful Saute Pans!
March 29, 2011
These copper-core pans are very high quality; the stove (soon to be replaced) is an electric relic that does not heat evenly, but with these pans, the heat distributes evenly. I bought three sizes and love using each one. An added bonus is that using them saves the non-stick pans for eggs and things that really need non-stick.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Clean, Size, Versatile, Design, Weight, even heat distribution

Fab-u-lous
January 3, 2011
We received the 8" and 10" copper core fry pans as Christmas presents this year. They are outstanding! We have already made an omelette souffle, regular omelettes, cheese eggs and french toast in these frying pans. They heat evenly, never stick, use less butter than our previous frying pans and are a good heavy weight for cooking. Plus, they are gorgeous to look at too. Definitely plan to buy the entire line.

Surface marks
July 23, 2010
I have been cooking for over twenty years, and I was very excited to hear about All-Clad's line of Copper cookware. Today I bought my first copper core 12 inch stainless steel pan. I made a simple Omelet as the first performance test. I was very impressed with the quick heating time and even cooking. I cooled and then washed the pan as instructed by the manufacturer. I hand washed it with mild dish soap and a mild sponge. Then I emediately hand dried it with a gentle cloth. I was extremely shocked to see marks on the cooking surface of the pan, as if a child had been rough with it. On the bottom side was also visible scratch marks from a few gentle movements on the gas range.
.......
PROS: Excellent non stick, food cooks evenly.
CONS: Heavy pan, long handle, surface will leave marks very easily.
.....
I might give All-Clad another chance, but if I see similar results then I'll just stick with good ol' trusty Calphalon.

You listed the long handle and the fact that the pan is heavy as cons for this cookware? That's one of the primary reasons that these pans are QUALITY cookware.

I had the same issue as you after using my Saute Pan just once. I thought my beautiful pan was ruined! However, after some research I discovered that All-Clad recommends using Bar Keeper's Friend to get rid of the stains and spots. It took a couple of tries, but I was able to get everything off of my pan and have it looking as good as new! Now I always do a wash with Bar Keeper's Friend after using my pan. Hope this helps you.

marks are normal
Marks are normal and do not affect the application for which they are intended. If there happens to be a material that will not scratch, then the cost would be most certainly prohibitive, and probably would not have the characteristics required for effective cooking. And, Barkeeper's Friend will take those white, brown, and other marks off of the pan. Nothing stays pretty forever. I take care of mine the best I can and do not sweat the rest. Great cookware.

I had the all clad copper core for some time, 3yrs. Off course the pan will show wear, it is made to last a lifetime. Don't be surprised by the scratches...you ARE cooking with it, (scraping the bottom of the pan when flipping foods, etc), the outside bottom of the pan will scratch against the surface that you are cooking on...this is normal. Just realize that the cooking part is what you are supposed to focus on.

d5 stainless fry pan
I agree with JOENYCB on the cooking marks on the frying pan. I loved the way the pan heats up really quickly. But, even after just one time use, the pan was left with marks and brown spots and cloudy white spots in the interior, and the light brown and white ring spots on the exterior. It looked like I had this for years!!! Horrified.

My favorite pan line
May 6, 2010
I knew exactly what I was choosing with the purchase of a copper core All-Clad fry pan. I have key pieces in saucepans already and was clear about their heat efficiency, sturdiness and beauty ( as well as considerable expense). But they perform like no other cookware line I have ever tried, and after 45 years of cooking, that's quite a few. I specifically wanted a pan of large capacity and one that can develop fond so as to capture that browned flavor when de-glazing. It does mean the use of fat when cooking, but I take my cue from the French - a little cooking fat has not led them to any unhealthy trends, if anything, they score better than Americans in overall heart health. Be sure to modify your heat settings for a pan this efficient and to follow the care instructions to keep its beauty. Old adage: heat pan, then add the oil, food will not stick.

Best in show
March 18, 2010
Heavy duty,heats well,cooks well, easy to clean. A great everyday favorite from eggs to quick sauces. However, it does not come with a cover, hence 4 stars. Recommend purchasing sauce pan to have a cover... I'm using a different calphalon cover.

Lid Not Included
Don't understand why you would knock one star off because of no lid when you bought it knowing no lid came with it.

Cook like a carbon steel, no maintainance
January 20, 2010
What? What did I say? Yes, it cooks like a regular cheap carbon steel pan, but without all the trouble. Carbon Steel remains to be my favorite cookware, because it heats up so fast and cool down fast. The trouble of carbon steel, it rusts. I have many enameled carbon steel cookwares, they cook good, but my heart always worries about enamel scratches. Finally I found All-Clad Copper Core, I have a few stainless steel All-Clad, I kick myself for not trying Copper Core sooner. The price is high, but I finally get my happy cooking life back.

All-Clad Rules
January 13, 2010
So long as you are mindful that you need to turn down the heat when using this product the results are extraordinary. If you want a perfect omlete, then this is your pan. That being said, the 8 inch pan is a bit small to be ideal.

Discoloration
December 16, 2009
These pans are very pretty fresh out of the boxes. However, the insides discolor easily even when used at medium heat. Medium heat is recommended, but It takes a very long time to heat water to boil (for pasta, etc.) when cooking at medium heat ( "5" is the middle between Lo and Hi on my stove). I find that a fine scouring powder such as Bon Ami or Bartender's Friend is needed each time the pots/pans are used to clean/polish the inside. The scouring powder helps remove some of the discoloration, but not all. At the price we paid.....I expected better. Because of the discoloration, I would not recommend these to a friend. Otherwise, the pots/pans do heat evenly and seem to cook just fine.

Used it once and love it already
December 9, 2009
Just got my first copper core - a 12" fry pan. Already have been using All-Clad "stainless with aluminum core" pans for years - the copper core made an amazing difference. I'm getting more of them!
