I am confused with this product versus tri ply. My confusion is the description here says aluminum core. Is this same as tri ply?

I don't know. But, I do love this pan. It is my favorite with it's even heating and easy clean up.

I don't know. However, I do love this pan. It is easy to clean and the fact that it has a cover makes it so convenient.

Cuisinart's classic line (which I believe this item belongs to) has an encapsulated aluminum disc in the bottom of each pan while the tri ply (multi pro line) has encapsulated aluminum throughout the bottom and sides of pans.

Yes, it has an inner layer of stainless steel that the food comes in contact with, the aluminum later (which is completely enclosed in stainless steel, so your food and kitchen surfaces never come into contact with the aluminum) and the bottom layer of stainless steel which comes in contact with the cooking surface.

No, I think, at least in part. From what I've seen, tri-ply refers to when both the bottom and sides (as in All-Clad pans; better for gas stoves) are encapsulated (either aluminum or copper center core) whereas this product has the core only in the base.

Aluminum is a great heat conductor... however I don't like to cook directly on it...the aluminum is encapsulated in the bottom of the pan...I believe triple encapsulated means another material (usually copper) is also used on the bottom..however I love this pan.

5112 is from the Classic Stainless Steel collection - tri-ply meaning stainless steel interior, aluminium core, magnetized stainless steel exterior. It is the gold standard that Cook's Illustrated / America's Test Kitchen and many others rave about, and is induction compatible. 4112, btw, is the newer version of the same pan with a thicker aluminium core to heat faster, and a sharper sloped handle to make it more maneuverable. MC2 is All-Clad's budget made in USA line. MC2 is also tri-ply, but has an aluminium exterior as opposed to magnetized stainless steel. Thus I would expect it to be lighter, heat up faster, but not to retain heat as well. It is not induction compatible. I have not seen reviews of the MC2 line, but I would imagine that it doesn't quite match the standard set by the classic stainless steel line.

I don't know. I don't have the triple-ply 13 piece considerply (sic) $$ set to compare.

Hi,This is really a question for the All Clad folks. The marketing didn't distinguish between the two. All I can say is that I think I bought the tri ply SS version, and I really like it. I do note that SS does not cook the same as Calphalon or cheaper teflon pans, and the response of the pan to heat (I use a gas stove) takes getting used to. It is VERY responsive.Robert

I find this question and the answers very humorous since the product comparisons list the material as aluminum. Should't Amazon remove the product for false advertisement then?

no it is not a tri ply pan. Very much thinner and light weight. That is actually a good thing for lasagna. It is not the heavy thick tri ply but still uses the high quality All-Clad stainless so it cleans up just like one. I have and love my tri plys but love this one as well. It is still a great bargin.

It says Emeril Pro-Clad on the bottom of the pan. It also says tri-ply clad construction. My understanding is that it has Aluminum core (both on the sides and bottom) which is encased in stainless steel (bottom and inside). I think that it is a great pan, fries eggs very well and is good at browning veggies. It is also very easy to clean. The trick is to keep the heat turned down lower than you would for a Teflon pan. It heats up reasonable quickly as well.

On my container the bottom line - in blue - says aluminum free. I do not know if there are more variations of the product.zoom in on the container if you can and see if that is what it says on the item you are deciding to purchase. Hope that helps !

Trislide is a silicone based lubricant. As long as you are rincing your suit as recommended you will be good. I have used this product with my suit for a long time with no issues.. Tri Strong :)

This item is NOT tri-ply. The made in China pasta cookers in both sizes are not clad. You would have to get an All-Clad stockpot (made in USA models) and an insert to have a tri-ply outer pot.

The aluminum is the same, or a very similar, shade of silver/grey. I couldn't tell the difference, but I'm colorblind. It looked like it blended well for me.

It's aluminium. The carbon fiber is more expensive. I love mine (aluminium).

I would not buy this set regardless of if it was any ply amt. I have had this set and I cant return it but im suffering through it because I cannot return it.

Yes, they are, but the lighter weight (I think they are 3-ply) are actually better, more pliable. Both are great though. You end up using them for so many things.

A buyer back on May 11 scraped one of the wires to discover that they are indeed aluminum wire with copper cladding. I am answering this because this fact is not stated in the tech detail section of the listing. I was hoping to get copper wire in this price range, but it looks I'll need a time machine first.

It is tri ply as described. There is a newer line, but this one is definitely tri ply.

The only thing I can suggest is to check the weight and dimensions of the two and see. If they're the same, I'd say it's just the sort of price difference I notice in some products in Amazon that I can't explain... and I buy the cheaper. If different, it's likely in thickness, layers or length/width.
