All-Clad Copper Collection Buying Guide

Born in the U.S. steel age in 1967, Clad Metals began as a small metallurgical company that specialized in formulating bonded metals for a variety of industries. Company founder, John Ulam, a brilliant metallurgist, realized the combination of different metals created composites that yielded superior results. He was awarded more than 50 U.S. patents for bonded metals and secured a contract with the U.S. Mint to make dimes, quarters and half dollars. He was later instrumental in the nation's conversion from solid silver coins to bonded layered metals used in coins today.

After years of perfecting the bonding process, Ulam established All-Clad Metalcrafters in 1971, and began producing professional quality bonded cookware for working chefs and avid home cooks. The brand flourished as early adopters realized the cookware’s extraordinary properties and exemplary cooking performance.

Today, All-Clad bonded cookware is still handcrafted in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, with American-made steel the same way it was four decades ago. It is still widely sought after by the world’s top chefs and passionate home cooks. Specialty items, electrics and tools are sourced elsewhere.

Use & Care All-Clad Copper
For best results, keep the following in mind during cooking:

• Always preheat your pan before adding oil or butter.
• Use 1 to 2 teaspoons of oil or butter to minimize sticking and maximize browning while cooking.
• Overheating can cause brown or blue stains to appear on your cookware. Food films, if not removed after each use, will cause discoloration on the pan once it is reheated. Large amounts of iron content in your water may also cause your pan to look rusty. Use stainless steal cleanser and soft cloth to clean.
• To keep small white dots or pits from forming in your pan, bring liquids to a boil or wait until food starts to cook before adding salt. Pitting does not interfere with cooking performance but can diminish the beauty of your pan's interior.

All-Clad Copper Core Collection cookware is dishwasher safe and designed for easy cleaning and a lifetime of use.

• To avoid warping, never place a hot pan under cold water. Allow pan to cool prior to cleaning.
• For nonstick surfaces, wash with warm, soapy water after each use.
• To clean the pan, immerse it in warm water. Use stainless steel cleanser to form a paste and apply using a soft cloth. Rub in a circular motion from the center outwards.
• Nylon scrubbing pads can be used on the interior of All-Clad products. Make sure to use a sponge or soft cloth on exterior surfaces. Never use oven cleaners, steel wool, steel scouring pads, harsh detergents or detergents containing chlorine bleach to clean your cookware.
• Dry immediately after washing in hot water to prevent water spotting from forming.
