Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 7-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: 1/32nd of an ince of copper
Summary: 1 Stars
Please do not waste your money on this 7 piece cop-r-chef cookware. The copper on this cookware is purely aesthetic. I measured it and it came out to about 1/32nd of an inch. That means it's less than 1 mm. Now I understand why All-Clad will not tell you the measurements of the copper.
The bottom of the sauté pan turned red when I cooked in it only one time. This is no joke - it actually turned red. I'm not talking about a beautiful copper red, I'm talking about an ugly red. It looked as if the copper was so thin that the heat allowed you to see through the copper and view the aluminum above it. Note: I rechecked the bottom of the pan when it cooled down and some of the copper was wiped off. It's as if the bottom was only painted copper color.
I have a 7 piece Belgique cookware set that's worth about $70 and I like it better than this set that cost close to $700. Even if I only wanted a copper set for display, I still would not get this again; I'd buy the cheaper Professional Grade 9pc Tri-Ply Copper Cookware that you can find on ebay (.4 mm) and display it instead.
Pros:
Light weight
Copper color is beautiful (ditto for any copper cookware)
Sauté pan cooks very well
Wooden crate is nice and can be used around the house
Cons:
Less than 1 mm of copper (.79375 mm)
Handles will hurt your hand
Bottom of pan turns ugly red!
Do yourself a favor and consider buying Falk, Mauviel, or Bourgeat. The first two have about 2.5 mm of copper and the latter is 1/8 inch (about 3mm) of copper. No aluminum exists at all on these pans - the copper actually does the cooking with stainless steel on top to protect the food. Please note these will be heavy - copper is heavier than cast iron.
Also, it appears that All-Clad sets a minimum price for their products - that's why no matter where you visit, the price is always the same. In the business world, one knows that by keeping prices elevated, a product gains an elite status and people want to buy it based on a perception "high price means good quality and elitism". Looking at the other positive reviews makes me think that some people believe if they pay a lot for something then it is good. Buy this product if you want to but I think you will be sorry. It is nothing but a stainless steel pot with aluminum for heat conductivity and copper plated for looks.
I wish I had had this review before wasting my money. I definitely will take the product back tomorrow.
One final important note:
The only real issue I have with Cop-R-Chef is the amount of copper it offers. If you are buying this set for the copper then it falls short of my expectations. I was impressed with frying onions in the sauté pan.
Description of All-Clad Cop-R-Chef 7-Piece Cookware Set
Be ready to make nearly any meal with style, efficiency, and quality using this seven piece cookware set by All-Clad. Designed with classic shapes and clean lines, this cookware set is unsurpassed in aesthetics and in quality. Each piece from the Cop-R-Chef line is constructed form three layers of metal; a finely polished copper exterior, pure aluminum core and 18/10 stainless steel interior. The heavy gauge copper outer layer is an excellent conductor of heat, and combined with the aluminum core, disperses heat evenly across the base to heat the stainless steel interior that creates the ideal cooking surface that is easy to clean. Handles on both the pots and pans, and lids are riveted to their base for strength and durability, and stay-cool in design to prevent burns. The set includes a covered saucepan, covered casserole, fry pan, covered saut¿ pan, all of which come packaged in a wooden crate.Producing some of the finest cookware in the nation, All-Clad has been featured in many high class and gourmet restaurants for its superior performance and aesthetically designed pieces crafted from American artists using the finest metals. A firm believer in quality over convenience, All-Clad's metals are formulated and bonded with cooking performance in mind, and are combined with stunning designs to provide you with the best cooking experience possible.
Gleaming with Old World elegance, All-Clad's Cop-R-Chef copper-clad cookware dresses up a kitchen while providing serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the bright copper exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. With care, the copper exterior will remain beautiful during this cookware's lifetime warranty against defects--and beyond.
This seven-piece set of Cop-R-Chef cookware consists of an 8-inch fry pan, a 2-quart covered saucepan, a 3-quart covered sauté pan, and a 4-quart covered casserole. Polished 18/10 stainless-steel pan and lid handles are riveted for strength and grooved on the top for comfort. The lids' handles, the pans' long handles (holed for hanging on a hook or peg), and the casserole's loop handles stay cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's heat. Because harsh detergents darken copper, hand washing this cookware is recommended. The set comes in a handsome wood crate. --Fred Brack
