Nice Pan
I purchased this pan as a "second" at Marshalls for $119.00. Still have yet to figure out why it was a second as it is in perfect condition. In any event, this is a typical All Clad high quality pan. Still trying to determine if the "copper core" line is really that much different than the normal stainless line. I also own Mauviel copper cookware and there is a HUGE difference in heat control from that to the All Clad Copper Core. With the Mauviel the heat change is nearly instantaneous but with the AC not so much. All that said I own a ton of AC and love every piece, especially for the price because when you start to get into copper it's a whole new world of expense. This Windsor pan has a terrific shape for the reduction of sauces. It is very heavy and stays put on the stove. I think I will be very happy with this pan and I bet you would be as well. However, I feel lucky I got it for the price I did because the $295.00 price here seems too high for this pan in comparison to the...
Gotta love All-Clad
I have a reasonably full set of All-Clad Copper Core, and they're easily the best pans I've ever used. They heat instantly on my induction cooktop and cook very evenly. I even find them easy to keep clean with just a little Bar Keeper's Friend. Great investment that will probably outlive me, and made in America to boot.
Definitely recommended.
Perfect size
It may be coincidence, but the shape of this pan means its bottom is the exact size of the smaller burners on my electric (yeah, I DO wish I could have gas) stove. That, along with its copper core, means near-perfect heat distribution at lower heat levels--just what one needs for delicate sauces. Still, at 2.5 quarts, it's large enough for most chores appropriate to a saucepan. In other words, it's a versatile and useful performer.
