About

Innovative, high-performance bonded cookware originally designed to meet the demands of professional chefs. We carry pieces from the Copper Core, d5 and Tri-Ply collections, as well as a range of complementary items. ---BUYERS GUIDE--- Established in 1971, All-Clad was the first company to make 'tri-ply' or bonded stainless steel cookware, where a heat-conducting metal – such as aluminium, copper, or graphite extends from the base to the edge of a pan. (Since stainless steel is not a good conductor of heat on its own, it needs to be supported with another metal.) Prior to All-Clad's pioneering technology, most stainless steel pans were made with the heat-conducting metal only at the base of the pan, which is significantly slower and less heat-responsive. Stainless steel makes an excellent cookware surface because it is induction-friendly as well as non-reactive, meaning food will not react with the metal, causing it to leech. It is also rust-resistant. Copper Core Every piece of All-Clad Copper Core is handcrafted and composed of alternating layers of stainless steel and aluminium with a middle layer of copper. This composition spreads heat quickly and evenly and allows for ultimate temperature control and precision. Copper Core items are manufactured in the United States to the most stringent environmental standards and features: A 5-ply construction of aluminium, stainless steel and copper – not only on the bottom but up the sides of each piece – distributing heat evenly and providing professional results 18/10 stainless steel interior cooking surface that will not react with food and cleans effortlessly Long handles cast from solid stainless steel and ergonomically designed for comfort and to stay cool on the hob Rivets formed from high-yield-strength stainless steel and treated to remove trace elements of iron that could cause corrosion All-Clad Copper Core can be used on all hobs including induction. We recommend hand washing only, to keep the lustre of the exp
