Why Copper Core? 
Copper-Core is the premium All-Clad collection. It is cookware for true connoisseurs, with a patented 5-
ply construction that provides the ultimate cooking performance. A central core of copper, the metal 
that best conducts heat, is surrounded by two layers of aluminum, and two exterior layers of 18/10 
stainless steel, the metal that provides the finest cooking surface. A revolution in cookware technology, 
Copper-Core truly offers the best of all possible worlds. The new Copper Core collection can be used on 
an induction hob. 
How should I use my All-Clad cookware? 
If you have never cooked with All-Clad before, you may be surprised by how efficient it is. Start using 
your All-Clad on a low flame for all applications except boiling. Because our cookware is built to hold 
heat and distribute it well, you will find that low temperatures using All-Clad are comparable to medium 
to medium-high settings using other cookware brands.  When preparing to sauté or fry, preheat your 
cookware a minute or two on a low setting. Test the heat by lightly tapping the top edge of your pan 
with your palm. If the pan feels warm to the touch you are ready to cook. Put cold oil in your preheated 
pan. This helps to form a natural barrier that prevents food from sticking. Now add your food. There 
should be a sizzling sound when your food touches the preheated pan, indicating that the browning or 
searing process has begun. Leave the food for approx 1 minute to sear – do not try to push it around 
the pan too soon otherwise the food may tear and then stick to the pan (see below – ‘how do you 
prevent sticking’). Medium to low heat is all you will need. 
How do you Fry without Natural Fats? 
Add oil, butter, or margarine to the pot or pan; just enough to cover the bottom surface. Heat pot or 
pan for one to two minutes over low or medium heat. Add food for frying. 
What do I do if the food is sticking? 
Check to make sure the pan is level, clean and the heat is not set too high. Low to medium heat is 
recommended for optimal cooking performance. 
Will salt damage my cookware? 
Yes. To avoid the formation of small white dots or pits, bring liquids to a boil before adding salt, then stir 
well. Or, add salt after food has started to cook. Pitting does not interfere with cooking performance but 
can diminish the beauty of the stainless steel. 
Do I need to rinse the pan before first use? 
Yes. Before using for the first time, wash in hot, soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. Rinse in hot 
water and dry thoroughly. 
 
Maintenance and cleaning 
Do I need to use wood or nylon utensils? 
No. You can cook on all of our conventional cookware with metal, plastic or wood utensils 
How do I clean my Copper Core? 
While we recommend hand washing, Copper-Core is dishwasher-safe. The copper band will tarnish with 
dishwasher use and will need polished with a commercial cleaner to restore its luster. I you choose to 
wash your Copper-Core in the dishwasher we recommend using detergents free of lemon and chlorine 
additives. 
Is Copper Core dishwasher safe? 
Yes but the Copper band could tarnish. 
Do the handles get hot?

The long handles are cast stainless steel, which conducts or distributes heat poorly. The shape of the handles and the stainless steel rivets also provide a safe grip and prevent the handle from becoming too hot on the stove top. However, in the oven or grill, handles will get hot. Always keep oven gloves handy to prevent burning your hand Can All-Clad cookware be used on a ceramic range? Yes.
