The All-Clad Copper Core 7 piece cookware set is the centerpieceof the All-Clad Copper Core collection of kitchenware. In their reviews, available online, both casual and professional chefs have rated the All Clad Copper Core products as being among the best kitchenware available. This cookware blends the most effective advantages of copper and stainless steel to produce cookware which heats evenly, but still washes up easily.

Copper is recognized by professional cooks and scientists as an efficient conductor of heat. Stainless steel is quite simple to clean and won't rust. Each element of the All-Clad Copper Core 7 pc cookware set is especially designed with a core of copper inserted between the stainless steel outer surface, and an aluminum inside. The inclusion of aluminum creates kitchenware that is significantly lighter and easier to handle.

The engineering of each item features five individual layers. From the interior to exterior, the configuration consists of a stainless steel, non-stick cooking surface, a layer of lightweight aluminum, the copper interior for even heating, a second aluminum layer, and the stainless steel exterior. Long handles protect hands from the heat, while special scooped lips allow drip-free pouring.

As a result of its design, the cookware cooks quickly and evenly. Boiling food in All-clad kitchenware is a complete joy. Burnt-on food can tend to adhere to the cooking surface more than it would a teflon surface. Although proper attention to cooking technique will keep the food from sticking.

Easy cleansing is a very practical feature of this brand of cookware. A quick soak in warm soap water, completed by a simple scouring, clears away all food, even tomatoes or cheese which was cooked at too high of a setting. Towel drying will keep unsightly water spots from forming on the metal surface. Stainless steel cleaning and polishing products will restore the set's new, shiny appearance. To avert tarnish, the exterior copper parts should be perioidically polished.

The All-Clad Copper Core 7 piece cookware set is widely available at better stores as well as the other pieces of the All Clad Copper Core line of kitchenware. Remember, too, that All Clad manufactures a fourteen piece set, a ten piece set, and a complete array of separate pots, pans and other cookware.
