Stainless-steel interior and exterior with elegant copper stripe
Pure copper core for quick, even heating
Stay-cool pan and loop handles riveted for strength
Editorial Review:
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. The small fry pan is perfect for singles and couples as it can brown a couple of chicken breasts, saute enough shrimp for two and scramble eggs for Sunday brunch.
The ultimate in beautiful, high-performance cookware, All-Clad's innovative Copper Core collection combines the unexcelled heat conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance of stainless steel. Crafted in a unique five-ply construction, the cookware contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. Aluminum layers bond the copper to stainless-steel exteriors and interiors. Enhancing the cookware's appearance, a stripe of the copper core elegantly encircles the gleaming, mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Rolled edges on pots and pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting lids.
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. Hand washing this pan will preserve its jewel-like beauty during its lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. --Fred Brack

I'm hooked!!!:
I'd like to give this 10 stars as I had no idea the difference a pan like this could make. I have had it for a week and have used it for crab cakes (crab, egg, and breading), omelets, sauteed vegetables, and thick-cut pork chops. I mention these items because in my old Farberware stainless steel pans, sticking, uneven cooking, and uneven browning were a problem that I thought was just my lack of skill. Heat distribution is perfect all over, i.e., the items on the outside cook the same in the same... more info
All-Clad #1:
After having owned most major brands of cookware, I am convinced that All-Clad is #1. The copper core simply makes it even better by causing it to heat more quickly and evenly.
Flawless aesthetics and function:
My cruddy old Teflon cookware is shedding its lining, so I researched extensively for good quality cookware that would both perform well and sustain some longevity. In my search I discovered All Clad - so I thought, what's $200 for a frying pan? I chose the 12" copper core frying pan and I love it! Besides being such a beautiful addition to my kitchen, it does all it has been purported to. I have not been able to burn anything! Everything I have cooked has turned out perfectly. The copper core indeed... more info
Indispensible in any kitchen:
This item was my first introduction to All- Clad and now I can't imagine buying anything other than what they offer. The Copper Core line is my favorite - each pan has 5 layers starting with stainless steel, followed by a layer of aluminum, then copper in middle, aluminum on top and finished with stainless steel as the cooking surface. Since copper is the finest heat conducting material when it comes to cooking - but a real pain to clean if one gets the copper cookware since it tarnishes easy - this is the... more info
