The Ruffoni Classici Stockpot/Saute Pan Combo is a two handled pot that measure 8 3/4 inches and is about the same in diameter as it is in height.

Things to remember when cooking with copper cookware:

If you have a new pan, then before you use it for the first time you should add some water to the pan and bring it to the boil, once it is boiling add some aromatic herbs such as rosemary, sage or bay leaf or you can  even just use some green vegetables.

Maintaining the durability of the tin lining:

• Never heat the pan empty, always ensure there is a small amount of liquid or fat in the pan before putting it over the flame or heat source.
• Never let the pan boil or go dry so don’t have the flame too high.
• Use silicone, wood or plastic utensils for stirring or mixing. Metal will scratch the tin lining.
• Copper is an excellent conductor of heat so food shouldn’t stick to the bottom of the pan, and it should come clean in warm soapy water. Never ever use abrasive cleaning products or scouring pads to clean copper.
• If you do burn the inside of the pot or pan  either due to inattention or some error in cooking, simply immerse the pan in warm, soapy water and leave it to soak until the mark comes away easily.
• Over time the tin lining will eventually stain or get marks which are caused by high temperatures or food acids, this will not harm you, or  the functionality and hygiene of the product.

Double boilers are one of those must haves if you do a lot of baking and this All Clad Copper Core Boiler is one that you will have for a lifetime.

The good looks of the copper core range make this a beautiful piece of cookware to have in the kitchen and you will be proud to own this one.

The copper core range of cookware is made up of 5 layers of materials or what they call 5 ply construction. This is what makes it such a fantastic piece of cookware and why the price tag is so high.

The 5 layers are made up of stainless steel, aluminum and copper. The stainless steel comprises the inner cooking surface and the outer layer. Sandwiched between those two layers of stainless steel are a layer of copper and two layers of aluminum.

Both aluminum and copper are great conductors of heat which means foods cook evenly without hotspots. Copper is particularly good at reacting to temperature changes. So when you change the temperature on your stovetop the temperature of the pot immediately changes as well. This gives you greater control over your cooking.

This double boiler is fitted with a 1 1/2qt porcelain insert. This is an excellent material as it prevents burning and scalding of those delicate foods and sauces.

The pot itself is a 2qt and can be used on it’s own for other uses so it makes this set very versatile.

Both the insert and the saucepan itself come with lids.

Secondly, the flared sides mean easier whisking as you pretty much have more room to move.

The All Clad Copper Core Windsor Saucepan is the perfect example of a Windsor saucepan. First of all, it just looks absolutely gorgeous. You really can’t fault All Clad for the beauty of their products. Secondly, it has beautifully flared sides and a flared rim for drip free pouring.

The All Clad Copper Core range of cookware would have to be one of the best. This cookware is made from 5 layers of metals. The inner cooking surface and also the outer surface is made from 18/10 stainless steel.

Sandwiched between those are layers of aluminum and copper AND these layers extend up the sides of the saucepan. You don’t get this in a lot of cookware. Most have the aluminum or copper layer in the base of the pot only. In a nutshell, this really makes for outstanding cooking results.

Both aluminum and copper are good conductors of heat so foods cook evenly and without hot spots.  The copper means that you have precise cooking control as it responds rapidly to temperature change. This is perfect when it comes to cooking sauces which can easily burn if not careful.

This isn’t cheap with prices around the $250-$300 mark but it is a beautiful piece of cookware that you will be proud to own.
