Editorial Review

The ultimate in beautiful, high-performance cookware, All-Clad's innovative Copper Core collection combines the unexcelled heat conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance of stainless steel. Crafted in a unique five-ply construction, the cookware contains a core of pure copper that spreads heat quickly and evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. Aluminum layers bond the copper to a stainless-steel exterior and a stainless-steel interior. Enhancing the cookware's appearance, a stripe of the copper core elegantly encircles the gleaming, mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. Rolled edges on pots and pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting lids.Read more

Stick resistant...........................?
The main review of this item lists all its attributes, well-made,copper core,even heating,usable in oven and even stick resistant.I suppose stick-resistant and non-stick aren't really the same thing. If the reviewer sauteed some gravel, it probably didn't stick, but everything plant or animal we've placed into this skillet has stuck. This happens even with the use of oils preheated in skillet.We're not gourmet cooks, so perhaps there's some secret unknown to us mere mortals, but stuck is stuck. Although it does look good hanging on that rack!

Simply the Best
You cannot beat All-Clad in the quality department. After using this pan for a week my family even noticed how my cooking was tastier. This pan does a fantastic job caramelizing meat and veggies. It heats very quickly and evenly. But it also cools very rapidly because the copper is a fantastic conductor of heat and cold. I like the copper core better because of the ease of maintenance. Just a little Barkeeper's Friend and it shines like new. The handle stays cool enough in most applications for me to use it bare handed. The sides are sloped just right to impress your friends with a little food flipping action. I've used it on both electric and gas stoves and was happy with the even heating of both. If you can swing the price you won't regret it. ... Read more

This 12-inch omelet pan is ideal for a six-egg omelet or a family-sized frittata, but is equally useful for shallow frying or searing meats. Part of Calphalon’s premium Tri-Ply Copper line, this brilliant, stainless-steel and copper-accented cookware cooks beautifully and looks gorgeous. The pan’s exterior is crafted of copper—-the superior metal for heat conduction—-while a heavy-gauge aluminum core runs through its center. The combination of these two metals provides more exact control while cooking and excellent end results. The interior is made of 18/10 stainless steel, which is nonreactive to acidic foods and offers a reflective surface that makes it easier to know when foods are completely cooked. This cookware also has Calphalon’s patented stainless-steel Cool-V handles that stay cool to the touch on the stovetop. All Tri-Ply Copper cookware is oven-safe up to 450 degrees F and is covered by a lifetime warranty. Read more

One of My Kitchen Favorites
Next to my All-Clad Copper Core Dutch Oven, this is my favorite cooking utensil. I also have the 12 inch fry pan I use when company comes over. After using this pan a few times I threw out all my nonstick cookware. Now I use nothing but All-Clad Copper Core. Every morning I scramble eggs in this pan. I put a pat of butter in the bottom, turn the heat to medium (never high or you'll scorch any pan), let the butter start to turn brown and throw in my eggs. They don't stick; it's amazing. The few times I do have some stickies, I just soak in water for 10 minutes before washing and they easily come clean. About once a month I might soak the pan with a 1/2 inch of vinegar for an hour or overnight. It turns the bottom shiny and new looking. This pan is also great for bacon, sauetingpork chops and chicken--just about anything. And, I never have to worry about toxins migrating from nonstick cookware into my food. ... Read more

My favorite pan
I love this pan. It's incredibly versatile. I use it instead of a straight-sided saute pan (many cooks don't like to do this but it's my preference). The 12 inch copper pan weighs a ton and is not ballanced for tossing food ... so don't think of this as a larger version of your 10" fry pan. It's best sitting on the stove solidly, with you turning the food in it with tongs or a spatula.
Much Better Than Aluminum
The copper conducts heat beautifully and the stainless interior really lasts. Things stick to the bottom which is then deglazed with wine or broth. Expensive but worth it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Fusing terrific performance with elegant looks and functional style, Calphalon's Tri-Ply Copper 10-inch omelet pan is a keeper. It features gently sloping sides with a flat, wide bottom, giving you the space to easily cook a six-egg omelet and then efficiently flip it over and slide it onto your plate. The most prominent feature of the pan, however, is its three-metal construction, which delivers the best qualities of each for superior function. The exterior is made of brushed copper, a terrific heat conductor that offers the added benefit of looking quite sharp. The copper exterior insulates the heavy-gauge aluminum core, which ensures even, flawless heat distribution with no hot spots. On the other side of the aluminum is an 18/10 stainless-steel pan interior, which cooks with elegance and flare. Whether you're sautéing vegetables, browning onions, or cooking eggs, your foods heat gently and won't burn into the pan.Read more

Features

• Copper exterior and aluminum inner core combine for superior conductivity and precise cooking control
• Brushed copper exterior complements both traditional and contemporary designs
• Ergonomically designed Cool-V long handles for cool, comfortable stovetop cooking
• Oven- and broiler-safe
• Includes lifetime warranty

Much Prefer Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless
I have a mix of Calphalon pans: Commercial Stainless, Commercial Nonstick and Tri-Ply stainless.I love them.Great performance and easy to care for.When looking to fill a hole in my set, I discovered Amazon carries the Tri-Ply Copper and immedaitely ordered one.It was beautiful out of the box, but doesn't stay that way.I don't like stained, grubby-looking pans so I clean mine thoroughly, inside and out.The stainless interior is a breeze to clean, but the copper exterior is a bear.I have scrubbed it until it shines and then hand dried.To my chagrin, I have found you must hand dry it at least two times because anyminiscule sheen of moisture will stain the copper. How can you go wrong?
I bought this thinking that I would make omelettes every weekend, yet I find myself cooking with it almost nightly.I see that the heat is well distributed throughout the suface and that cooking is very consistent with this pan.I expected it to be built sturdy, perform well, endure rough handling and basically not let me down in the kitchen.All of my expectations were met or exceeded, so don't think that this pan is just for omelettes.I use it to sear and braise tenderloins all the time, and it handles liquids when de-glazing better than any other pan I own.My only regrets are not buying some copper cleaner, as this pan tarnished and stained after my first use.If you are a purist who likes your equipment to look good all the time, you might not like this pan as it will immediately acquire a patina of age, yet if you want something that can perform and dont mind and can handle the discoloration, then by all means, look into getting yourself a copper omelette pan...

Almost a five.
Most of my copper pots are made by Cuisinart, but they didn't have the so very useful 10" sized skillet that I was looking for this time around. Since I have had great service from other Calphalon products (knives, roasting pan, some non-stick pans), I thought I'd give this one a try.Read more
