Recommended models: Copper-Core, D5 Brushed, Stainless series
 
Although the brand is only a little more than 40 years old, All-Clad has become the epitome of high-quality stainless steel kitchenware, a partner of the world's most famous chefs and prestigious competitions, such as the Bocuse d'Cuisine World Championship, and the official pot brand for the cooking show of the American Food Channel. All-Clad started as a metallurgical company, and its founders were granted more than 50 patents for metal composites, laying the technical foundation for the production of high-quality stainless steel pots.
 
All-Clad's stainless steel pot adopts the first metal composite technology, not only the multi-layer steel structure at the bottom of the pot, but also the whole body of the pot is a multi-layer cladding design, the bottom of the general stainless steel pot is only a three-layer structure, the inner and outer two layers are stainless steel, and the middle is an aluminum alloy layer, All-Clad adds a metal layer on this basis, such as a multi-layer aluminum alloy layer and a copper inner core, which can strengthen the thermal conductivity of the bottom of the pot.
 
There are three kinds of pot diameters, which are 8, 10 and 12 inches, and the general foreign brand pots and pans are mainly these three sizes, corresponding to 20, 25 and 30 cm, it is recommended to choose a 12-inch pot, which is of moderate size and is most suitable as a common pot for Chinese cooking.
 
All-Clad's high-end series are the Copper-Core and D5 Brushed, both of which utilize the core's multi-layer cladding technology and are both five-layer steel constructions.
 
Among them, Copper-Core is the top series, the pot body has a five-layer overall composite structure, and the middle is a copper inner core, compared with the more mainstream aluminum alloy inner core on the market, copper has better thermal conductivity and higher price. In addition to the pure copper inner core, Copper-Core also uses two layers of high-purity aluminum sandwich, followed by stainless steel inner and outer walls, this combination of materials to form a more efficient heat energy transfer effect, the price is about 1900 yuan. D5 Brushed is cheaper than Copper-Core, the difference is that the middle inner core is stainless steel, and the thermal conductivity is also relatively high, so it is recommended.
 
In addition to these two five-layer steel series, All-Clad also has three-layer steel pots, the price is relatively affordable, the most popular is the Stainless series, the price is about 900 yuan, the outer layer uses magnetic conductive stainless steel, the inner layer uses food-grade 18/10 stainless steel, and the middle is aluminum alloy. Stainless steel pans tend to be on the heavy side, but this one is very lightweight, with a net weight of only 2 kg compared to Fissler's 3kg double-handled wok pan, which is about the same as a lightweight non-stick pan.
