All-Clad Copper Core Stainless Steel Sauce Pan

When it comes to making sauces, gravies, or other liquidy foods, the saucepan is the go-to utensil. Its high, straight sides make it well-suited for the frequent stirring or whisking required for sauce-making, limiting the risk of spilling. Moreover, the smaller surface area helps to retain heat and minimize evaporation.

As part of the Copper Core collection, this saucepan features a unique construction that sets it apart. It boasts a thick copper core, sandwiched between two layers of aluminum and two layers of stainless steel. This exceptional design makes the saucepan ultra-responsive to heat, ensuring even heat distribution and unmatched, long-lasting durability.

For an added touch of elegance, the saucepan has a polished surface with a starburst finish, and a cutout that showcases the lustrous copper core. At 3 quarts in size, it is the perfect size for making sauces, heating liquids, cooking food in liquids, and reheating.

To keep the saucepan looking brand new, the manufacturer recommends washing it with a soap and sponge, rather than using the dishwasher. Like all of their bonded cookware, this saucepan is handmade in the USA at their Canonsburg, PA factory, using ultra-durable materials that will last a lifetime and never go out of style. The handles and handle loops, however, are made in China.

The saucepan's features include high, straight sides to assist with stirring, and a smaller surface area to hold heat and limit evaporation – making it perfect for making sauces or heating liquids. The 5-ply bonded construction with stainless steel, aluminum, and a thick copper core ensures fast and even heating, warp-free strength, and ultimate responsiveness.

The highly polished stainless-steel cooking surface offers superior stick resistance for easy maintenance, with flared edges for drip-free pouring. The longer, riveted stainless-steel handles are contoured for a comfortable grip and vented to stay cool, with a stainless-steel lid to match.

This saucepan is compatible with all cooktops, including induction, and is oven and broiler-safe up to 600°F. To avoid the formation of small white dots or pits, the manufacturer recommends bringing liquids to a boil or waiting until the food starts to cook before adding salt.
