Know before you buy
The 5-ply construction features a pure copper center layer that reacts to temperature changes instantly. This provides superior heat conductivity and responsiveness, allowing you to control searing and browning with much greater precision than a standard stainless steel pan.
Yes, the All-Clad Copper Core fry pan is fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic surfaces.
Yes, this pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600°F. This makes it ideal for starting a sear on the stovetop and finishing your dish in the oven.
This pan is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the finish and performance of the bonded metal, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water and using a stainless steel cleaner if you notice any discoloration.
To prevent sticking, preheat the pan over medium heat before adding oil or butter. Once the fat is shimmering, add your food and allow it to develop a natural sear; it will release from the surface once the browning process is complete.
No, this specific 10-inch fry pan is sold as an open skillet and does not include a lid.
