The copper that creates its extraordinary presence is also what gives Cop-R-Chef its extraordinary performance. The heavy-gauge copper outer layer produces unparalleled evenness of heat, allowing precise control for delicate recipes. Cop-R-Chef is a gleaming example of All-Clad artisanship. Depending upon your preference, Cop-R-Chef can be polished to a high luster, or allowed to antique, naturally, for a more traditional appearance. Cop-R-Chef is an ideal choice for professional chefs and gourmet cooks who desire supreme control and a classic copper aesthetic. The workhorse of all cookware shapes, the versatile shape, and size this All-Clad frying pan makes it a frequent choice for scrambling eggs and bacon on Sunday morning or preparing a quick chicken to sauté dinner on a weeknight. This conventional fry pan goes in the oven and under the broiler, making it even more convenient. In addition to its ideal thermal conductivity, Cop-R-Chef's heavy-gauge copper outer layer disperses heat laterally across the bottom surface, as well as vertically along the sidewalls of the cookware, so your food cooks evenly every time. The pure aluminum center core further enhances heat distribution to eliminate hot spots and ensure fantastic results. The 18/10 stainless steel interior creates the ideal cooking surface that won't react with food.
