All-Clad 6403SS Copper Core 5-Ply Bonded Dishwasher Safe Saute Pan with Lid Cookware, Silver
Best Item From All-Clad
Wow
Ever since receiving one as a gift, this piece has been the pride and joy of my cookware collection. Having a thick interior layer of copper, the pot is quite heavy, and conducts heat more evenly than the calphalon pan I used to use. The extra money for the copper core is definitely worth it. If I had the money, I'd stock my entire kitchen with this line.
I never worry about things sticking to the bottom of the pot. The trick is to heat the pan on low to medium-low heat for a few minutes before putting oil in the pot, and then letting the oil heat for a few minutes until it begins to smoke.
Stainless steel is much easier to clean than either hard-anodized aluminum or copper. Getting it clean enough to use is a breeze, although personally, I insist on scrouring it until it shines like new simply because I like this pot so much.
Oh, and if you regularly cook for more than 1-2 people, you'll need a bigger version of this pot. I rarely do, and even so, I find this pot to be a...

The best you can buy (at a steep price)
I think I'm a little crazy for buying this. I just had to find out if the copper-core was really better than an aluminum one. It is, but not by that much. You can buy a pan from Cuisinart's Multiclad series that will do the same thing almost as well for a much cheaper price.
That being said, this thing is very well designed. The rolled-lip is useful for pouring. The radius of curvature where the bottom meets the sides is large enough to allow for utensils to easily get in there (a problem with most pans). The handle stays cool and is well designed. Overall, this is the best 2-quart saute pan money can buy. Is it worth it? That's up to you.
Great saute pan
I own the 3 quart version of this pan, which measures almost 11" across and has plenty of room for meals for 2-4 people. I also own the 10" Copper Core frying pan, which gets more use than this pan because it's lighter, browns a little better, and the sloping sides make the food easier to handle in the pan. This saute pan does an admirable job of browning, though, and the high sides are essential for foods that will finish their cooking in liquid. If you can only afford one pan from the Copper Core line, I'd suggest this one over the frying pan, because it's more versatile. I've found that the space available in the 3-quart saute is roughly equivalent to an All-Clad 12" frying pan, plus it comes with a lid, making this a great option for those just starting out with Copper Core.
