All-CladEuro Copper-Core 6403SS Saute Pan with Lid 26.7 cm, 3.8 L, Suitable for Induction Cookers, Stainless Steel

Heat retention is very impressive, reminds me of my le creuset pots - needs a low heat once you get going

The pan is huge and is not practical for home use. However, Amazon was great and refunded all my return costs!

Meets all my expectations and requirements

This pan is very expensive and worth every penny.Highly recommend this.Even heat; easy to clean; size was perfect.

All Clad el Gigante norteamericano, domina el comercio de este producto en nuestro continente, no cabe duda que en redes sociales tienen una dispersión , imposible de evitar. Copper Core es una de sus lineas mas costosas, tiene una propaganda infinita de las ventajas del núcleo de cobre, en el sandwich de aluminio y Hierro. Aunque en verdad el cobre que tiene es menos de 1mm de grosor (no esta especificado en ningún lado, solo WLLIAMS-Sonoma clama que es 1mm), y por lo tanto el beneficio es marginal . Pues bien, este sartén copper core de 5q, define claramente las capacidades de dispersion de calor que la marca promete, y lo calificaría por arriba de estándar: si diera una calificación de 1 a 6 seria 4., el tamaño es ideal para 4 personas de buen comer. Dentro de la marca diría que es un poco mejor que la serie MC, aunque mucho mas cara. En la Homogeneidad de calor, diría que centro periferia , reduce el calor un 20% por lo que hay que dejar precalentar muy bien el sartén. Lo Uso para preparar lonjas gruesas de pescado que nos gusta bien sellado y caramelizado, con centro crudo caliente, con 5 porciones al mismo tiempo. Calificaría esto como un buen resultado, superado solo por mi Mauviel 250, 10 pulgadas, y por mi Demeyere Atlantis 1.9q salte pan. Ambos más costosos normalmente. En resumen creo que es mi mejor compra para un sartén grande que pude hacer: costo beneficio excelente.

The best kitchen investment! Ordered it when on sale for $311. Super versatile pan, can stir fry, steam, deep fry, boil, and BAKE =). Made my first no-knead bread. Placed the dough inside this pan to bake in the oven (some people use dutch oven or clay vessel). The texture was moist and chewy, the crust was crispy. My family was impressed and most importantly our baby boy loves the bread =).Note that the pan is kind of heavy, the lid handle gets hot easily, and finger prints but that is not a deal breaker for me.Update after a year:People beware! Think twice before you get the All-Clad copper pan, cause it would be the start of an expensive hobby (it will lead you to Demeyere, Staub...)! In my case, I got rid of almost all of our pots and pans. This pan is 4 quart. In order for food not to stick to the pan, make sure to coast it with oil and cook at low heat. I fried tuna on heat setting 4 and put on the lid. Took about 4 min each side. The food won’t stick to the pan once it is cooked.My only pet peeve is that unlike the pan, the lid metal thickness is very thin. It seems not to handle high heat in the oven well (from what I read online, their Dutch oven lids seems to be like this too) as it is turning a darker tint. It still does the job, but a Dutch oven may be better... I wash it by hand and occasionally use Bar Keepers Friend for the tough stains. If you like to use dishwasher, check out All Clad 3qt copper core saucier or Demeyere Conical Sauteuse.

Copper Core Saute Pan lives up to my expectations. The heating is quick and even, and rebuilding the heat is also fast. The quality is unsurpassed. It may be at the expensive end, but is all the money worth.
