All-Clad 3-QT Copper Core 5-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe Sauce pan with Lid

A 3-Quart Copper Core Sauce Pan for Sauces That Need Precise Heat

This 3-quart sauce pan with lid comes from All-Clad's Copper Core collection. High straight sides and a long riveted handle make it the pan for sauces, grains and heating liquids. Five bonded layers around a thick copper core respond quickly when you lower the heat, which is what keeps a cream sauce from catching. Oven and broiler safe to 600°F, induction ready, made in the USA.

Why a Copper Core Sauce Pan

Sauces scorch when the bottom of the pan runs hotter than the sides or when it keeps cooking after you turn the burner down. Copper Core answers both: even heat to the rim and fast response.

• High, straight sides. Built for sauces, grains and heating liquids, with less evaporation than a wider pan.
• Capacity etched on the base. Easy to identify in a cabinet full of pans.
• A copper core does the work. All-Clad bonds a thick copper core between layers of aluminum and stainless steel. Copper responds quickly when you turn the burner up or down, which makes searing and pan sauces easier to control.
• Five bonded layers, all the way to the rim. The layers run from the base up the walls, so heat spreads across the bottom and up the sides instead of pooling in the center.
• An 18/10 stainless cooking surface. The polished interior with All-Clad's starburst finish resists sticking and does not react with acidic foods like tomato or wine.
• Works on every cooktop, including induction. The magnetic stainless exterior works on gas, electric, ceramic and induction.
• Oven and broiler safe to 600°F. Sear on the stovetop and finish in the oven without changing pans.
• Stainless lid included. Fits snugly to hold in heat and moisture.

Use and Care

The short version. The All-Clad use and care guide has the full details.

1. Preheat, then add fat. Heat the empty pan over medium for a minute or two, then add oil or butter. Stainless releases food far better once it is hot.
2. Stay at medium. Bonded cookware spreads heat well, so medium does the work high heat does on a thinner pan. Save high heat for boiling water.
3. Let food release. Proteins stick at first and let go once a crust forms. Wait for that before you turn them.
4. Cool, then clean. Let the pan cool before it meets water. Wash with warm soapy water, and use a fine powdered cleanser and a nylon pad for stuck food or rainbow tint. Skip steel wool and bleach.
