A frying pan with the impeccable heat conductivity of copper and the ease of a non-stick coating. This pan isExclusive to Borough Kitchen in the UK.

—DETAILS—

A copper frying pan is a must-have for cooks inclined to perfectionism (and/or chefs), for no other material responds to heat as superbly as copper. All-Clads Copper Core range takes copper a step further and adapts it for modern kitchens. The entire pan, from base to rim, is clad with five layers of metal: 18/10 stainless steel on the outside, two supportive layers of heat-responsive aluminium, and a core of copper, making it induction-compatible. Vented, stay-cool handles ensure a comfortable grip, and curved rims allow easy pouring. A thin band of exposed copper is visible from the outside, an accent that gives this range its singular look. Though you could, we wouldnt recommend putting it in the dishwasher, as the abrasiveness of dishwasher soap could weaken the non-stick coating and require more polishing of the exposed copper band. (For more on non-stick pan care, read our guide.) The 30cm size features a second helper handle.

—BENEFITS—

Every serious cook should have at least one copper pan, just to experience what controlled cooking really means. To me it means getting fish to that perfect texture, just after it stops being raw but before it starts flaking too much.
