Professional and amateur chefs widely describe the All Clad Copper Core line of cookware, including the all clad copper core 7 piece cookware set, as some of the finest cookware available anywhere. Combining the even-heat cooking performance of copper with the cleaning ease of stainless steel, this cookware is the top of All Clad's product line.
No cooking surface conducts heat better than copper. The all clad copper core 7 piece cookware set has a layer of copper sandwiched between the aluminum outside and the stainless steel inside. You can tell by the copper ring which encircles every pot and pan.
From the inside to the outside, the five-ply configuration includes a stainless steel cooking surface, an aluminum layer to reduce weight, the copper core for optimal heat conduction, another layer of aluminum, and finally a stainless steel exterior with a stick-resistant coating. The extended handles are designed to stay cool for comfortable gripping, while the curled rims provide dripless pouring. The lids for the all clad copper core 7 piece cookware set fit securely.
The copper core heats briskly and evenly. Bringing water to a boil is a sheer delight with this set. Although the stainless steel cooking surface is not as non-stick as a teflon surface, proper cooking technique will completely prevent food from sticking.
Ease of cleaning is possibly the nicest feature of this entire line. Even if you fry foods on high heat, all you have to do to these pots and pans is give them a little soak in warm, soapy water and then scrub them with a plastic scrubber or brush. After they are rinsed thoroughly, just dry them with a towel right away to prevent water spots. You can also clean and polish them with special cleansers and polishers if you like. This will help keep your pots and pans nice and shiny. You will have to polish the copper band in order to avoid it becoming tarnished.
You can buy other groupings and single pieces belonging to the All Clad copper core collection too. Besides the all clad copper core 7 piece cookware set which is very much in demand, you can also find a set made up of 14 items and one set of 10 as well. There is also an array of solo cooking utensils, like the versatile all clad copper core 10 inch fry pan.
