It's not obvious. I hard to research it online and learned that you have to first heat the pan hot enough so a teaspoonful of water would bead up and dance like mercury when you put it in (Leidenfrost effect: the steam from the moisture floats the food to make it non-stick). Wipe the bead of test water away (water + hot oil = splashes) then put the oil in and give it at least 15 seconds to heat up or wait until just a little smoke comes out before you put food it. Works like a charm.

Most people, unless they've done the research, would think they'd make it non-stick with more oil, but it's not the oil doing the non-stick action: the oil is evening out the heat distribution so the contact surface is hot enough everywhere. Any spot that's not hot enough at any moment will stick. This means dumping ice cold food in it might make it stick too if the contact surface had a cold shock to make the temperature temporarily go below Leidenfrost. Once something is stuck on it, you have to scrape that part away or more stuff will stick to the stuck food.


All Clad helps in the sense that if I leave the wok/pan waiting for it to preheat, it won't warp easily so I have more room to err on the side of overheating the pan. Underheating the pan at any spot or any moment is what gets food stuck on it. Good luck.
We were using Scan-pans for awhile (ceramic), but have decided to go back to stainless and give that a try. From what I have read, the biggest problem people have with cooking with stainless is that they heat up their fast/oils/butters with the pan. Causing things to stick when you add the food (you don't need to 'season' a SS pan). The trick is to heat up the pan dry, and only add your fat/oil/butter just before you add your food. Giving it just enough time to melt or heat up before food touches it.
By the way, the 12" Copper Core Fry Pan for $76 is not normal. One of the last times it showed up on SD, it was a 'popular deal' at $150, lowest I've seen is $135 during a similar sale.

This is a no-brainer purchase/gift for anyone who is a serious cook

I wasn't even in the market for a pan and wife and her mom can't cook on stainless. They can stick things to Teflon. But for $75 I'm just gonna hold my nose and buy it anyway cuz *wow*

Warning - these are definitely not non stick. You do have to warm up the pan, then add oil and wait for it to heat before adding food.

Been using the 10" copper core for 6 months, it's fantastic. Grease it with your method of choice. Eggs cook perfectly even. The only downside is it can 'stain' fairly easily and look dirty, but that finish can be brightened. Grabbed 2, this price is crazy.

Yeah *I* know how to use stainless... Problem is I don't cook so often any more. My wife here could get olive oil stuck to the pan tho I swear.

I bought a 10" and 12" D3 last week. I haven't even used them yet. Is the copper core that much better than the D3?

I am not a serious cook. I prefer cheap non stick for most things. I do understand the benefits of stainless but I have not used them much yet. I am thinking about grabbing this copper core since the price is so good.

The copper core isn't any better than D3 other than it's heavier, which only has limited situations where that's preferred. If you prefer nonstick, All-clad D3 is already overkill.

I already ordered the copper core one. lol. I figured at this price it was worth it.

I prefer non stick when making foods that are prone to sticking to stainless or cast iron. I need to learn how to properly use stainless which I am planning on practicing with. It appears I won't be needing more frying pans for a long time.
