All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 8-Inch Fry Pan

Gleaming with Old World elegance, All-Clad's Cop-R-Chef copper-clad cookware dresses up a kitchen while providing serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the bright exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. With care, the copper exterior will remain beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. This classic slope-sided fry pan shows how thoroughly Cop-R-Chef marries form and function. It's 8 inches in diameter, perfect for searing a hunk of halibut or hanger steak. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel handle is secured to the pan by stainless-steel rivets for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on a hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Because harsh detergents darken copper, hand washing this cookware is recommended. --Fred Brack
