Achieve optimum heating and cooking temperature using All-Clad's Copper Core sauce pan. The patented Copper Core technology uses a five-ply construction to ensure the ideal amount of heat conductivity and diffusion. The center copper layer is bonded on both sides by aluminum to enhance heat distribution, while reducing weight. Finally, the interior and exterior are bonded with 18/10 stainless steel to provide the ideal cooking surface with ease of cleaning. These three materials combine together to create a beautiful and functional piece, allowing for maximum durability and ease of use. The piece also features a long, stay-cool handle that is riveted to the side for added durability and strength, and a stylish copper band that encircles the pan for an additional accent.

Producing some of the finest cookware in the nation, All-Clad has been featured in many high class and gourmet restaurants for its superior performance and aesthetically designed pieces crafted from American artists using the finest metals. A firm believer in quality over convenience, All-Clad's metals are formulated and bonded with cooking performance in mind, and are combined with stunning designs to provide you with the best cooking experience possible.

The ultimate in beautiful, high-performance cookware, All-Clad's innovative Copper Core collection combines the unexcelled heat conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance of stainless steel. Crafted in a unique five-ply construction, the cookware contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. Aluminum layers bond the copper to a stainless-steel exterior and a stainless-steel interior. Enhancing the cookware's appearance, a stripe of the copper core elegantly encircles the gleaming, mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Rolled edges on pots and pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting lids.

This beautiful, classic, straight-sided, 1-1/2-quart saucepan demonstrates why All-Clad's worldwide reputation is unsurpassed. Because the copper core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly in the pan, even though it's 3-1/4 inches deep. And because the interior is nonreactive, acidic sauces won't taste metallic. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Handwashing this pan will preserve its jewel-like beauty during its lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. --Fred Brack
