Kitchen cookware

Comment:

Once you use All Clad copper core nothing else will do. It's pricey, but has a lifetime warranty. Copper core is very responsive to heat, cooking evenly and cleans up beautifully. The company recommends Bar Keeper's Friend and it cleans and polishes simultaneously. All Clad copper core will make your kitchen. I have to get rid of my other pots and pans as nothing else will do!

I have had my All Clad Copper Core pan set since 2002 and really enjoy how well they look and perform in the kitchen. My wife and I love how sturdy and durable the set is and fully expect them to last for another generation. We have used other coated and non-stick pans in the past that did not last or hold up well, and were tired of having to spend a lot of money to replace them. We considered buying all copper pans. However, with the challenges in cleaning them we opted for the Copper Core set and we have not regretted our decision. My wife and I use the pans on a daily basis and the only negative comment from my wife is the pans are heavy and require her to use two hands to lift them. The pans are not recommended for use in the dishwasher, but cleaning is not that difficult. Light scrubbing with Baking Soda while the pans are still warm or soon after use, offers the best way to maintain a clean polished shine. Cooking with this set is different compared to non-stick. The pans heat up quickly so slow starts at low heat is needed to keep the food from burning or sticking. You will also use more oil/butter over non-stick to keep foods from sticking, and only use wooden utensils to keep from scratching the metal surface. Non-stick certainly has a better cook and go quality over stainless, but generally will not last as long as these pans will under daily use. While these pans certainly cost more than the average cookware, this set will more than pay for itself in the long run and is very much worth the cost for their quality and durability. After ten-years of use they look and perform as good as the day we bought them and expect to pass them along to our children.

Having these pans actually encourages me to cook. Best kitchen tools I have ever used. comfortable handles, just weighty enough, excellent design, easy to clean, perfect heat distribution. I will never buy another set of pans again. And I am certain they will last me a lifetime. The best.
