All-Clad Copper Core 5-Ply Stainless Steel Sauce Pan 3 Quart Induction Oven Broiler Safe 600F Pots and Pans, Cookware Silver

I retired several years ago and took over the cooking from my wife and, although I have no formal training, I just love to cook. I “inherited” a set of anodized Calphalon pans and other odd pans in use for several years. The inside surfaces of these pans were fairly well scratched and I was concerned about their continued use. I did research and decided on the All-Clad Stainless Steel Copper Core 5-Ply Bonded 10” fry pan, the 2 and 4 qt sauce pans and the 5 qt saute pan as replacements. I already owned a 12” SS steel fry pan and 10” SS saute pan by other manufacturers so I was familiar with SS use and cleanup however in the back of my mind I still had concerns about cleanup of All Clad. The pans are beautiful to behold (not that it matters), are of extremely good quality and are moderate in weight, not heavy. The handles seemed a little odd to hold at first but now I do not even notice it. In fact there is a small protrusion on the underside of the handle that fits very nicely for the forefinger, giving tactile feed on hand position on the handle and stopping it from slipping to close to the heat. I have used the new All Clad pans daily since their arrival on a gas stove. They do heat faster and more evenly then the old set. Once cooking, transmission of heat changes are almost instantaneous. As far as cleanup, what concerns I may have had were unfounded. Cleanup has been a snap, even my wife mentioned how easy they are to clean. The 2 qt sauce pan I use to cook chai every morning has less scorched milk residue and cleans up easier than the previous anodized pan I was using. I was also a little concerned about cooking rice in the 4 qt but again, the rice comes out great and no cleanup problem. I think the biggest issue one may have with the Copper Core level is the price as there is a premium. I took the long view. I will have these probably for the balance of my cooking days. After that, they will probably by handed down to my children. Yes, they are that good in my mind. So I see many years of service ahead for them and I couldn’t see cutting corners on price and maybe not be as happy as I am with these. One plus was the ability to place all pans in the oven to 500+ degrees, not something I could do with the older pans. Another factor that swayed me to All Clad versus other manufacturers is that they are made in the US. I would definitely buy these again.

I upgraded from a cheaper stainless steel saucepan that struggled to heat quickly, and the difference is night and day. I chose this saucepan because I already own another piece from this line and have been impressed with its quality and performance. It heats up rapidly and distributes heat evenly, thanks to its copper core, making it perfect for everything from boiling water to simmering delicate sauces. The dual handles are a practical touch, providing a secure grip and balance of weight distribution when lifting a full pot of soup or sauce, and the flared edges ensure drip-free pouring. The craftsmanship and performance are exactly what I expect from a premium piece of cookware, and it’s a stylish match for the rest of my collection.

If you like ramen like I do then this pot is for you. Yes, this just might be the world's most expensive ramen pot. But that's because it is probably the world's best ramen pot. The size is perfect for cooking 1-2 ramen (but you can't use too much water when cooking 2 ramen). The pot boils water quickly. It is extremely good at heat conduction. It only takes about 5 minutes (including boiling water) to cook ramen. Very fast. This pot is very sensitive to changes in range temperature. That's great if you have a good gas range, but not so great if you have an electric range that takes at least few tens of seconds to change temperature. I decided to get an induction range just for my set of All-Clad copper core cookware. If cooking food at a right temperature is what you need, this pot is fantastic as long as you are using proper cooking range (READ: non-electric). Pros: 1)Great at cooking noodles such as ramen. Also good at boiling soup at precise temperature. Just a great pot overall. 2)Conducts heat magnificently. Also highly sensitive to temperature changes. If cooking at a precise temperature is what you need, then this pot should be your dream pot. 3)Sturdy and built like a tank. 4)Induction range capable. Cons: 1)You need gas or induction range to take full advantage of precise the temperature sensitivity of this pot. 2)Heavy.

This copper bottom line is brilliant. This pot completes a set.
