All-Clad Copper Core® 3 qt. Sauce Pan with Lid

All-Clad has been making bonded stainless steel cookware in Canonsburg, just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , since 1971.

The brand is famous for pioneering fully-clad cookware, hence the name All-Clad.

Innovative bonded construction combines an interior core layer of thick-gauge copper that attracts heat quickly. This copper core is sandwiched by aluminum (that heats quickly) and finally,  durable stainless steel that ensures even heat distribution for consistent results across the entire cooking surface, all the way to the rim. 

Dimensions: 8" diam. (20.3cm), 3 1/2" high (8.9cm), Capacity: 2.8L

Why we love it:  This is one of the most important pans in a well-equipped kitchen, whether you cook for 2 or 4.  This pans brings a versatility that is hard to beat.  With high, straight sides and a smaller surface area, the sauce pan holds heat well. It is generously sized for boiling pasta, steaming rice or even building a one-pot Spaghetti Puttanesca, risotto or Green Chili Chicken.  Five layers of cladding ensure that it holds heat well making this pan flexible for hot and fast searing or boiling, to more subdued and leisurely simmering. Whether you are trying to get a quick dinner on the table or produce a meal to impress, this copper core pot will be there to help you make it happen.
