huh! yesterday i was going to ask how they make copper clad stainless
steel
cookware but i thought it was too dumb and too trivial a question to ask.
couple days ago i had a copper clad stainless pan delaminate the copper
cladding and was stunned. made me wonder how they attach it in the first
place. i'm guessing some sort of furnace brazing process(?). this pan is
probably over 50 years old, i think this is one of the pans my mother got
as
a wedding present in the 50's. i've seen stuff (on tv and in books) about
explosive welding but am totally assuming that's NOT how they make copper
clad cookware.

That is really wild. I have never heard of these delaminating. Was there
something you did like overheat the pot or something?

they come up with this striped stuff.
