If I remember correctly the year was 1974, my final year in high school. I distinctly remember the sudden flurry of excitement in my mother’s kitchen as she unveiled her first All-Clad cookware set, grandly called Master Chef, to friends from around the neighborhood. For the life of me I could not understand the excitement that I distinctly heard right up to my room upstairs.
Nearly three decades later I experienced the same sense of exhilaration after buying the All-Clad cookware created after Emeril Lagasse. Emerilware was launched as an exclusive line of signature cookware after the celebrated chef. All-Clad was once again to offer the same kind of joy and fulfillment for my family too, along with the joys of cooking.
Also I remember it was All-Clad bonded cookware that made such an impact on kitchen freaks who vowed by the cookware bases of stainless steel, aluminum and copper. These have been making waves in kitchens that rely on the excellent heat conductivity that does alter cooking performance levels, raising them by several bars.
Not long back my daughter earned her way to a degree course in Australia. Guess what she was browsing for Down Under? All-Clad Cookware in Canberra. She was as surprised as I was to learn that the company headquartered in Pennsylvania was marketing cookware to specialty stores in Australia. I can vouch that her living quarters would be the homiest at the University.
For sure certain traditions stay the way they do. All-Clad cookware remains a family favorite for many folks and over the years it has even attained a global reach. Made initially of brushed aluminum, this cookware was originally designed for professional use. Several collections later gourmet home cooks created a huge customer base and its durability is what gets it recognized as a great product.
Well it’s certainly been largely the word-of-mouth reputation through limited edition collections that made All-Clad the best seller over the years. Its stainless collection remains the most popular upscale stainless cookware. Well known as the BMW of cookware it lives up to its reputation as America’s first luxury cookware. Williams-Sonoma Stores sell certain collections exclusively for All-Clad.
It would do well to remember a few tips handed down by my mom to take good care of All Clad cookware sets. Remember to remain watchful of the amount of heat you use to cook with. All Clad cookware sets do not require super high heat levels to cook since they have a neat heat distribution system by its patented bonding technology. So always use the low flame.
All Clad cookware lines are oven safe but you need to be careful with the non-stick lines that are not broiler safe. But it is safe in ovens for heat up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally clean all cookware after each use. Stainless and Copper Core line can go in the dishwasher, though the latter needs to be out immediately to avoid discoloration. Of course the non-stick LTD and LTD2 need to be hand washed.
