Cooking with an All-Clad Cookware set is a little different than a lot of other cookware. Here are a few tips on using All-Clad Cookware.

Cooking With All-Clad Cookwarae

* Watch The Heat! Use low flame or setting for all cooking except boiling. Low temperatures using All Clad are comparable to medium to medium-high setting with other cookware brands.

* Prevent Sticking:  A preheated pan and lower flames are the key to stick-free stainless steel cooking. Start by preheating the pan on low or medium heat for one to two minutes. Tap the upper edge of your pan to test the heat. (If it is too hot, remove from the burner for a couple of minutes.) Pour in enough cold oil to cover the bottom of the cooking surface. Add your food, making sure that there is an even sizzling sound when your food touches the pan. This indicates that your food is cooking on contact and creating a natural barrier to prevent sticking. Allow your food to cook without disturbing it

* Oven Proof:  All types of All-Clad cookware collections are oven safe. However, nonstick items are not broiler safe, but can be put in the oven up to 500°F.

Cleaning All-Clad Cookware 

* Regular Cleaning of All-Clad Cookware: It depends on which type you buy. The stainless variety is completely dishwasher safe, and Copper-Core can be put in the dishwasher though that may cause some tarnishing of the copper band. To prevent that, remove the copper variety immediately after the wash cycle has completed and dry it.

Most of the other types of All-Clad Cookware must be hand washed. Be sure to check the directions that come with your cookware to see which type you have. And if you don’t want to wash them by hand, check before you buy to see you’ve gotten the type that can go in the dishwasher safely!

* Cleaning stuck-on food or stains: Bar Keeper’s Friend is a product recommended by All-Clad Cookware to help clean off stubborn food or stains. Put some on a soft cloth or sponge, add a little water to make a paste, then rub the pan with it to get rid of the food or stain.

Bar Keeper’s Friend can be used on both the inside and outside of all All-Clad Cookware, with the exception of Cop-R-Chef. It should only be used on the inside of that collection, and a brass/copper cleaner used on the outside copper.

With proper care, your All-Clad Cookware should give you a lifetime of good service in your healthy kitchen!

There are several varieties of All-Clad Cookware available for use in your healthy kitchen.

Stainless All-Clad Cookware

Stainless is the only brand of All-Clad Cookware that can be put in the dishwasher without fuss. It is the most popular collection in the All-Clad family. It not only looks good, but can also be used on an induction stove as well as gas or electric.

C2 All-Clad Cookware

The MC2 variety is an update of the original All-Clad. The outermost metal is brushed aluminum alloy. It must be hand washed, but is considered by All-Clad Cookware to be their most solid investment.

LTD All-Clad Cookware

This classy looking cookware has a handsome deep black exterior layer of aluminum alloy that is polished before being thoroughly anodized. The anodization makes the surface very hard and easy to clean. However, LTD cannot be put in the dishwasher.

Cop-R-Chef All-Clad Cookware

This variety of All-Clad Cookware is a contemporary version of classic copper cookware. It delivers precise control and unparalleled evenness of heat. The only drawback is Cop-R-Chef must be hand-washed and polished periodically.

Copper-Core All-Clad Cookware

All-Clad Cookware considers this their premium collection, cookware for true connoisseurs, mostly because copper is the best conductor used in cookware today. The cookware has a thick copper core with 18/10 stainless steel on the cooking surface, as well as the exterior. Copper-Core can be put in the dishwasher, but for the best cookware, that's a small inconvenience.

Whatever type of All-Clad Cookware you choose, it’s a great investment for a healthy kitchen.

There are many kinds of cookware that would work well in a healthy kitchen.  One of the crossovers from professional cookware seeing more use in the home kitchen is All-Clad Cookware.

What Is All-Clad Cookware?

All-Clad Cookware is one of the popular types of cookware available today. It was originally used by professional chefs who wanted heavy duty, high quality cookware and spread to the home market.

Cladding, the process of bonding dissimilar metals under high pressure and temperature, gives the finished product properties that no individual metal can achieve and is ideal for cookware. The performance of All-Clad cookware greatly exceeds that of non-bonded cookware.

Why Is All-Clad Cookware Good for a Healthy Kitchen?

This cookware is made by American artisans from American-made metals, a handcrafted bonded cookware made in the tradition that established a new benchmark for professional bonded cookware.

The attention to detail make All-Clad Cookware sets a joy to work with. Each piece has a stay-cool handle cast from solid stainless steel and is ergonomically designed for comfort during long cooking sessions. Even the rivets that hold the handles to the nonstick cookware set are inspected to remove every trace of milling and sealed to ensure that they will not rust.

The pans may seem heavy, but are actually rated light to moderate in weight in comparison to other cookware. All-Clad Cookware sets are made to balance well in your hand, but be weighty enough to hold the heat evenly. This makes cooking easier!

The triple-ply construction also helps maintain temperature since it is bonded to distribute heat evenly, and is very efficient. Most of the time it takes a lower setting on your stove to achieve the same temperature, with low producing the same results as medium to medium-high settings using other cookware brands.

Made To Last

Absolutely every piece of each All-Clad cookware set is hand inspected to be sure that everything is placed properly and manufactured correctly before being shipped out to the customer. That means there should be no issues with the All-Clad Cookware sets.

A set of All-Clad Cookware in your kitchen will provide a better cooking experience, and even help save on the expense of heating for cooking, since it takes lower temperatures to achieve the same results as using other cookware.

Try All-Clad, you’ll be glad you did!
