All-Clad Copper Core 5-Ply Stainless Steel Sauté Pan with Steel Lid

The copper core provides significantly faster and more uniform heat conduction than standard stainless steel. This allows for precise temperature control, eliminating hot spots and ensuring even browning across the entire surface of the pan.

While it is not a chemical non-stick coating, the interior features a starburst finish that offers natural stick resistance. When properly preheated with oil or fat, it performs exceptionally well for searing and browning without food adhering to the surface.

Yes, the pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops. The magnetic stainless steel exterior is specifically designed to work with induction heating elements.

Absolutely. The pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F, making it versatile enough to transition from the stovetop to the oven for finishing dishes or keeping food warm.

This pan is dishwasher safe, though hand washing is often recommended to maintain the exterior shine over time. For stubborn residue, a stainless steel cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water works effectively.

The high, straight sides maximize the cooking surface area and help contain liquids, making this pan ideal for braising, deglazing, and preparing sauces. They also provide enough depth to prevent splattering when searing meats.
