Product Review

All Clad is known for its superb quality in cookware and this 8-qt. stockpot demonstrates why. It combines the excellent heat conductivity of copper with the easy maintenance and beauty of stainless steel. It simmers soups and stocks, and is ideal for braising food on the stovetop or in the oven under its polished lid. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly. The polished, 18/10 stainless-steel lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Handwash, as dishwasher-use will deteriorate the pan's exterior beauty.

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 interior. Adding a Wow! factor, the copper core shows up in an elegant stripe encircling the gleaming, mirror-finish exterior. The interior is highly polished, so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The rolled edges on the pots and pans help prevent drips during pouring and ensure tight-fitting lids.

This beautiful 8-quart stockpot offers convincing evidence of why All-Clad earns an unsurpassed worldwide reputation. Though not classically tall and narrow, it simmers soups and stocks and accommodates enough ragu Bolognese to feed all the relatives. And it's ideal for braising food on the stovetop or in the oven under its polished lid. Because the aluminum core extends up the sides, foods cook uniformly, even though the pot is 5-1/4 inches deep (10-1/2 inches in diameter). And because the interior is nonreactive, the taste of tomatoes and other acidic foods won't be metallic. Its polished, 18/10 stainless-steel lid and stay-cool loop handles are riveted for strength and won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat. Hand washing this pot preserves the jewel-like beauty during its lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond. --Fred Brack

2.0 out of 5 stars Problem with Copper-Core stockpot Cover, May 22, 2006

This review is from: All-Clad Copper Core 8-Quart Stockpot (Kitchen)
I received this stockpot for christmas - Given the price tag of this item ($450) one would expect this to be perfect craftsmanship. Not so, the cover didn't fit quite right. It snugged down into the pan and wobbled, unlike the Copper-Core sauce pan I already owned where the cover sits on top. I called Williams-Sonoma, the place of purchase. They had no idea what I was talking about but said they would gladly refund. So the pan was returned and I ordered another from Chefs Catalog hoping I just got a bad pan. Same problem - I then called All-Clad directly. Customer service had no idea what I was talking about, they were under the impression the cover was the same as their sauce pans. They promised to check this out and get back to me. They never did. I sent an email to customer service, but never got a reply. I called Chefs catalog, they said they would investigate this, but it would take a week. I never heard from them again. I called All-Clad again - and was told to trace the cover...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite stock pot, November 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: All-Clad Copper Core 8-Quart Stockpot (Kitchen)
This is my favorite stockpot.The copper makes it the most even heating stock pot I have ever used. It holds heat well, so it doesn't loose heat as fast as an aluminum or aluminum core pot does -- which can have trouble when frying because the aluminum cools quickly.It works great for deep frying, oven roasting, making all types of soups, stews, stocks, etc.It is pricey, but really does work better for me than the less expensive aluminum core models.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Step Up From Calpalon, January 19, 2009

This review is from: All-Clad Copper-Core Stockpot
This pot was purchased as a replacement for a 25-year-old Calphalon classic anodized aluminum stock pot of the same size that had always performed satisfactorily (it had just gotten ratty-looking and, frankly, I wanted to treat myself). I cook a lot of soups, stews, and one pot meals and so I use a pot of this size regularly. I am thoroughly impressed at its superior performance characteristics. It heats very evenly and I can saute vegetables much longer before I have a problem with them burning. The pot is easy to clean and I have been putting it in the dishwasher will no ill effect. The only down side to this pot is the price, but I expect it to last for at least the 25 years that my Calphalon pot did, so it will pay for itself over time.
