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. With pieces for frying, browning, simmering, and boiling, your kitchen will be well-equipped with the basics. If you are considering the purchase of new cookware it is a wise shopper who buys in bulk as set pricing is nearly always lower than open stock purchasing. ....read more

If you’re browsing ratings for the All Clad Copper Core Set, you recognize good quality in cookware. Just buy it! The 7-pc set can be regularly found on eBay for ~$500.00.
Very disappointed–don’t buy it!
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought the all-copper huge 16 inch pan with wedding money and was so excited to use it after all the reviews but it’s terrible. I just gave it one more try and I realized what a waste of money it was. I followed all of the directions, used medium to low heat, and didn’t use salt. The inside is totally discolored after cooking and scrubbing the hell out of it. When you cook you will use lots more oil because it all kind of pools to the outside 2 inches of the pan and the food absorbs all of it! This sucks and I’m going to try and return it to Bloomingdales tomorrow. Don’t buy it!
Amazing cookware, Never Knew It Could Be This GOOD!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
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.
The Best

What are you talking about? The picture is the same on the amazon site, the 7pc cookware set match the description. I’ve been using All-clad for over 10 yrs and it’s the best cookware you can buy.
Great quality and easy to clean
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I have been using this set since September’05 and I love it. It has been a great addition to my extensive Le Creuset collection. I like the 8-qt pot from this set. It is sizable and light! I love the look of my enormously large Le Creuset pots but who can move them every day? However, the smaller Le Creuset pots are still my favorite. I do not like (=hate) the Le Creuset skillets, except for the real nonstick skillets. The regular Le Creuset skillets (black coating on the inside) are useless. But I have been happily using the All-Clad skillets. In addition to the skillets from this set, I have a 12-inch All-Clad skillet.
The quality of the USA-made All-Clad is great. But who came up with this combination of pots and skillets?! There are two lids of the same size in the set. I prefer the interchangeable lids. I think that the 8-qt pot should be taller and smaller in diameter, so that its lid would fit the 10-inch skillet. Otherwise, all items in this set are practical.
For cleaning, especially after high-heat frying, just soak the skillets in warm water for 5-10 min, then scrub briefly with a plastic scrub brush to loosen any large pieces of food and follow with the Bar Keepers Friend cleanser & polisher (powder, the liquid cleanser is useless). “The Friend” won’t scratch the surface and the pots and skillets would look like new again except for the copper strip. Do not even bother cleaning the copper strip. It looks fine “weathered”. And do not forget to towel dry to avoid the water spots!
copper core amusement
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is without doubt the finest cookware I have had the pleasure of meeting, with the possible exception of Bourget. I was truly amused by the reviewer who whined his/her food stuck to these pans.
No offense intended but it is not the cookware that is the problem, but your technique. Stainless steel is by definition NOT a non-stick metal. But if you treat it properly and use sound cooking practices your food will not stick. It always makes me wonder what the F*** people with $1000 worth of cookware are doing with it when they whine about it’s properties when in fact it is the user who is clueless. Why do you have this stuff? Surely not to cook in. As a professional chef I can assure you if used properly this cookware is some of the best on the market. Heat your pan till HOT. Add oil. Add your ingredients. Shake the pan a bit, it will not stick. Wait until your meats are browned to turn them.
This is outstanding cookware, with even heating and superiour distribution. If you are looking at buying the copper core wares please be a knowledgable cook and not some yuppy who only wishes to display it on there rack. Otherwise it is a waste of some of the best pots and pans you can buy.
all clad stainless steal cookware 10 piece
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I am greatly disappointed with all clad stainless steal, it not only reacted to the food, discoloring the pan but it was almost impossible to clean. I did not use high heat just medium, and on one account with the medium skillet I used just under medium heat and still got the same terrible results. I used everything all clad recomended to clean the inside of the pans and it still took me all the elbow grease I could muster to clean the stupid pans. Don’t waste your money these stink, I will take them back.
Quality you can taste
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
If you’re into quality products that will live longer than you will, buy these pots. This is the one wedding gift I use every week and grow to appreciate more each time. They also help make food turn out great — it’s almost impossible to burn something in them; they heat evenly and quickly, and retain heat like mad. They are heavy, durable, dishwasher-safe, you don’t have to worry about scratching them, and there is absolutely no metallic taste. Can one pot be worth $250? We’ve probably saved thousands by not eating out because these pots are such a joy to cook with. You won’t be disappointed.
Super cookware!!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
My family got me the Cop-r-core set of All Clad for my birthday about 2 years ago. It was long awaited as I had searched stores and websites for many years. Bottom line: save your money and buy THIS product!! It is worth the wieght, literally and figuratively. I am in the Army and entire set, plus the added Dutch Oven, 4 quart sauce pan and 2/1 quart saucier now hang on a Caphalon pot rack (56 inches) in a remote site in Korea for a stunning visual presentation for visiting culinary inclined individuals. Additionally, the cooking performance is outstanding. The best of copper without the cleanup. The stainless restores to show room shine with little effort. Heavy duty, built to last; plan on putting it in your will for the grandchildren. It is that good!
Very nice pans marred by uneven lids
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
We bought the seven piece set, then got the two quart saucepan on ebay. This cookware performs very well, but two of the three lids don’t sit evenly on their pans. I’m not sure if they’re slightly warped or what, but they rock slightly and don’t make a good seal. This may be a minor flaw, but for what they cost it’s unacceptable. We’re trying to decide if it’s worth the hassle of returning the lids under the warranty. If you’re shopping for this cookware in a store, be sure to check the lids for flatness.
The ultimate basic set
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This set rocks. I had a thirty-year old set of Farberware (hand-me-downs) with warped bottoms – it used to take nearly half an hour for water to simmer even at my electric range on full-blast. So frustrating that I thought that my range was broken. When the repair guy said that all my pots and pans were warped (duh!), I ditched my old set and got this set. A world of difference! The copper core heats evenly and beautifully, water comes back to a rolling boil seconds after pasta is added, etc., etc. I couldn’t be happier. I decided to get the copper-core line instead of the all-stainless because the rolled lip allows for easier pouring but in hindsight, I’m not sure it was worth the few hundred dollars difference. Whatever, I’m a happy cook!
Always and forever
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
A professional chef who is a neighbor recommended these to me when we had our kitchen remodeled and I wanted to splurge on some new cookware. “Buy these, and you’ll never need anything else,’ he said. Lord, he was SO right. Lids that fit, handles that magically stay cool, surfaces that are easy to clean, even and quick heating…who could ask for more?
Don’t bother with any other brands.
Finnally rolled the lip of the sauce pans
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love All clad pans, but most don’t have a rolled lip, and these do. While I’m not sure that this layer of copper is worth the extra money, having a rolled lip on the sauce pan means it doesn’t drip when you pour from it. They should do this to the whole line of pans.
The exposed copper looks like more of a marketing thing than functional. How else can you show that there is copper, which serious cooks all “know” is best, without it?
Other than that buy good pans when you are young, they’ll last a lifetime.
I’d really give it a 4.5…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Best performance cookware all clad’s made.. well, maybe second to the all copper one. HOwever, given that it takes away the cleaning problems of copper cookware, this rocks. The only few things I don’t like is the lack of a bigger stockpot and that there’s still some copper showing so I think there’s some heavy cleaning involved. But I guess that’s the only way to differentiate from the Master/Steel version.
