All Clad Copper Core 10-Piece Cookware Set

 (12 customer reviews)

I Love to cook... I'm an engineer by trade, Aerospace type. I escape to cooking for friends. I was using an old Grand Cuisine set that served my wife and I well, with copper bottoms only. We installed a new Wolf stove with large burners and the ol' Grand Cuisine was burning where the copper stopped. I was interested in the All Clad Copper Core because I like copper performance but don't like cleaning bare copper.
We bought this set at a local store. Be careful, all 10 piece sets are not the same. Some include different pieces. A higher price set could be a better bargain. You need to check the size of your pieces. The 10 piece set for was perfect for starter. My wife wants' three more pieces.
Performance: While I'm not a pro chef, I am an engineer. You can say what you want. I'm a people person too. We like it when our friends leave with full stomachs swearing they've had nothing better. This does not happen all the time, but when the beer and food hit the...Read more

I'm a bit of an amateur chef, and All-Clad is the best cookware I've found at any price.

All of the pieces heat (or cool) quickly, cook evenly and are easy to clean. They don't ask to be treated with exceptional care, and you get the sense that an investment in All-Clad will last forever. For what it's worth, to me, the copper core is definitely worth the extra cost versus the steel or steel and aluminum designs. They're a bit heavier, but they seem to cook much better.

To me, the look is clean and elegant, but functional. But of course, we don't buy pots and pans for how they look...for whatever reason, I just find that I'm a better cook with All-Clad.

This particular set is about perfect for most uses. For me, I add a small (1.5Q) saucier, a double boiler and a steamer insert, and I feel like I have all the bases covered.

Add to this the fact that they're made in the USA and guaranteed forever - and you have the world's best cookware...Read more

When my 'green' non-stick pans started flaking 2 years ago, I started to research alternatives to teflon and the 'green' alternatives, which don't hold up to my cooking very long. My research came up, finally, with All-Clad, and it topped my personal preference because it is made entirely in the United States. In Pennsylvania to be exact. In an age of Walmart deals and Costco bulk buying, I really try to make thoughtful purchases and buy American. Yes, All-Clad is expensive, hopefully because American workers are getting paid a living wage to craft high-quality cookware.

I received one 8-inch fry pan for Christmas that year and it cooks like a dream! I have never had a problem with food sticking (as one reviewer mentioned) because I read the instructions. Specifically those that say to preheat the pan on low for a minute or two, and to regulate all cooking to low-medium settings in general. The pan heats evenly, quickly and spectacularly hot, I mean that's why we're all...Read more
