Ask any professional chef about which cookware to choose and he or she will quickly sing the praises of All-Clad. For years, All-Clad has been the choice in 4-Star kitchens all over the world. And it's no wonder, given the cookware's triple-ply construction, impeccable balance and meticulous hand-finishing. From their Cop-R-Chef Collection, this 2-Qt. Saute Pan with Lid features an extra-thick copper exterior, an inner core of pure aluminum that covers the bottom and up the sides, and a hand-polished 18/10 stainless steel interior that never reacts with food -- all bonded together to distribute heat evenly. The pan features a long, stay-cool stainless steel handle attached with non-corrosive rivets. Maintains it's best appearance when hand-washed.

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 copper 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 straight-sided 2-quart sauté pan illustrates how thoroughly Cop-R-Chef marries form and function. It's 8 inches in diameter and 2-1/2 inches deep, perfect for sautéing veal scallops with chanterelles or garlic-scented greens. Its polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. The long handle (holed for hanging on a hook or peg) stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Because harsh detergents darken copper, hand washing this cookware is recommended. --Fred Brack
