Is this pot tri clad? What is the thickness of the stainless sides and bottom (and aluminum if it has it)?

Our supersteel stainless stock pots are constructed of quality stainless steel with a heavy-duty 3-ply bottom consisting of two layers of stainless steel surronding a 5mm thick aluminum core. This results in extra strength and allows for superior heat distribution. All sizes may be used with induction cookers, making this one of the most versatile lines of stainless steel pots available.

I'm not sure of any model number, but it seems most all All-Clad pieces get the highest rating from Cooks Illustrated. At the time I bought this, it was their preferred stock pot. It's been fabulous: flat, even bottom, browns evenly, good size for me. I use it several times a week for soups, etc. I did not buy the one with the copper bottom, (more expensive) as I have a couple of those pieces from All-Clad and I see little difference.

In the product description is says, "The bottom of the 18/10 stainless steel pan has an extra-thick aluminum core, which ensures even heat transference from the burner to your food."

Yes. The bottom is very thick - I purchased this type because it resembles an All-Clad stock pot at a fraction of the cost. I brew beer in this and it sits on my burner on high for over 3 hours. No problems.

Hello Hazelnut, good evening. I would hazard a guess that it is probably stainless because the pot was probably contoured using a mold where the sheet of stainless was placed and a ram pushed it creating the pot. Making it out of 2 metals would be far more laborious and therefore costly and why my guess is that its all stainless.

I d on't wish to endorse anyting but here are the details, you decide how you wish to proceed. Each is the melting point of the three metals, Lead, the intended purpose of the pot, Aluminum your metal if interest and third, Ductile Cast Iron the material used in the pot. I hope this helps with your decision. 621.5F Lead 1,221F Aluminum 2,190F Ductile Cast Iron

dont know for sure but it is a good thick pot. I bought from bass pro first and sent that pot back. This one is really good and holds heat well.

Titanium-Coated Extra-Thick (5mm) Non-Stick Inner Pot with Round Bottom for Maximum Heat Distribution and Optimal Cooking!!!! I still love and used frequently this little gem. No pbs cleaning it quickly by hands or with a sponge. Hope this helps.

Yes. It is stainless steel. The pot is too large for the small electric element on our stove and too small for the large heater. This thing was designed by a committee that had never been in a kitchen.

I have this pot but haven't cooked in it yet. As far as I can tell, this is stainless steel throughout. Doesn't seem as though any other metal would be touching your food.

I don't know if all of their cookware is three ply. Here's the link to the All-Clad website: http://www.all-clad.com/ I'm sure you'll find the answer there!

No it is not a tri ply pan but it cooks very well and cleans up nicely. It has a very nice high polished finish.

It's really thick, stainless. The heat distribution is excellent. As with many higher-quality cookware, I believe it has an aluminum disc encapsulated in it. I found this info on the Fagor website before I purchased it.

Tia - Both All Clad and Cook's Standard have layers of aluminum between the stainless steel layers, both on the bottom as well as up the sides. Aluminum helps conduct heat faster and more evenly than solid stainless steel, allowing the cookware to heat up faster and cooks food more efficiently. As others have found, you can keep heat at lower setting with this set, as a result. I used these for about 2 months and still consider it to be the absolute #1 bargain in top-quality cookware. Why spend 4x as much just for a name?

Not sure it's a really thick bottom. I'm an executive chef we use induction burners at work, but this is at my house. It's a heavy this bottom pot it's beautiful

Yes, very thick aluminum covered by a no stick surface. Its not Teflon and I don't know exactly what it is but it works. I highly recommend the Breville slow cooker. My wife and I both enjoy it very much.

Yes it is tri ply stainless with aluminum in the middle. Excellent product that will last a lifetime.
